I guarantee you that Mario Kart DS works on a DSiXL. I played it a few months ago.

I have not played New Super on it, but I dont know of any reason it would not work. Heck they used it for advertising.

Edit:
Youtube to the rescue

As said, the ONLY game that won't work is a game that requires the use of the GBA slot. And as far as I know the only game like that is Guitar Hero.

Note where the seller is located. China.

I bet it's a pirate cart.

gtmtnbiker brings up a valid point - many/most bootleg carts wont work. This includes most early flashcarts.

There are lots of pirate carts on ebay that say this - that mario kart has to be a pirate, it's so cheap, plus it's from china. I'd bet it's much more likely that the dsi is smart enough to know when it has ds pirate carts in it

Another uninformed idiot spreading BS...

Mario Kart DS works fine in every DSi I've played it on.

Speaking of Mario Kart DS and paddle controllers, did you know somebody made a cheat for the DS Action Replay that lets you use the paddle to steer? I don't have a paddle controller, so I couldn't test it out, but it sounds awesome.
