This is a compilation put together of some TASes (Tool Assisted Speedruns) for the individual tracks in Mario Kart DS. I did not make these; credit goes to the authors featured. I merely recorded and put the runs together.

For those unaware, a Tool Assisted Speedrun, or TAS, is the theoretically fastest known possible playthrough of a video game. A TAS is not performed in real time using original hardware. Rather, it is performed on an emulator with the use of slowdowns and save states so that perfect precision can be achieved. These time trial runs do not count on the Players' Page leaderboards and are purely created for the purpose of entertaining and showcasing the game being pushed to its limit.
