Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii both have random matchmaking, but for Mario Kart DS the only reliable way to find a lobby is to ping the Mario Kart DS discord server, although at peak hours there may be between 3 and 7 people playing Mario Kart DS even without pinging the chat. I actually played a match yesterday like that.
I assume I have to have somebody to play with? There’s no random matchmaking like in Mario kart?

Standard matchmaking does work on Wiimmfi, but you may not be able to count on actually finding anyone in the queue.
Mario Kart DS is a gamble unless its at peak hours, but Mario kart Wii nearly always has a couple hundred people online
Wait it connects to Nintendo servers?
It connects to Wiimmfi servers.
Aaah ok
At least for mariokart Wii I believe the servers are hosted by wiimmfi because Nintendo turned off their official servers many moons ago
Hrm I think I’m looking into this tomorrow
