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.

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.

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

Re: All Ds games play on Dsi?
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 itjoehero wrote:Thanks! I didnt notice that.

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

Re: All Ds games play on Dsi?
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.
