| The '''{{wp|Nintendo DS}}''', or simply the '''DS''', is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. The Nintendo DS is Nintendo's fifth handheld system, being the successor to the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It features two three-inch screens. "DS" stands for "Dual Screen" (though, at its conception, it was intended to stand for "Developer's System").<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170828215003/http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3904/p/606|title=Nintendo DS Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> The system introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup, including a resistive touchscreen, visible operating system GUI (in the form of the main menu), stereo sound output via both the built-in speakers and 3.5mm headphone jack (a first for Nintendo handhelds, which previously sported a single mono speaker despite supporting stereo through the headphone jack), audio input via a pinhole microphone, and wireless connection capabilities. It is also the first Nintendo handheld to natively support 3D polygonal graphics as opposed to only sprites, making it similar to the [[Nintendo 64]] in terms of graphical capacity. The DS also introduces a feature known as sleep mode, where one can close the console and preserve its battery life, and in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', closing the system is accompanied by [[Mario]] saying, ''"Bye bye!"'' The DS (and by extension the {{iw|nwiki|Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite}}) provides backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance games (though this does not work with the [[Nintendo DSi]] models), although only limited to single-player experiences as the {{iw|nwiki|Game Link Cable}} and {{iw|nwiki|Wireless Adapter}} support are missing. Similar to the {{iw|nwiki|Game Boy Micro}}, the DS and DS Lite cannot play games made for the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]]. In early 2011, the Nintendo DS received a successor, the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

|
| The DS is the first Nintendo system to include wireless functions, allowing it to link up with other DS's without any wires or add-ons. This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online, via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], of which ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' was the first to utilize. Since May 20, 2014, online play for many Nintendo DS games has been discontinued due to the closing of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140227060752/https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw|title=Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo DS and Wii to end in May|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=February 26, 2014|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> Conversely, the DS is Nintendo's last system to be distributed in South Korea through a third party licensor, specifically {{wp|Daewon Media}} (who also handled the South Korean releases of the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]]).<ref>{{cite|url=scanlines16.com/en/blog-3/retro-gaming/game-cube/gamecube-korean-master-list|title=Gamecube : Korean Master-List !|publisher=Scanlines16.com|accessdate=January 5, 2024}}</ref> Starting with the [[Wii]], Nintendo's products would be released in the region through the newly established Nintendo of Korea. | | The '''Nintendo DS''' is a handheld game system released by [[Nintendo]] in 2004. It features two 3-inch screens, one of which is touch sensitive; "DS" actually stands for Dual-Screen. The system also introduces many new features to the Nintendo handheld lineup such as stereo sound, and audio input (microphone). As with previous major Nintendo handhelds, the DS also provides backwards compatibility for [[Game Boy Advance]] games (though this does not support multiplayer). |
|
| |
|
| The Nintendo DS retains the {{button|ds|pad}}, {{button|ds|A}}, {{button|ds|B}}, {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|gba|start}}, and {{button|gba|select}} buttons from the Game Boy Advance and also includes the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons, so it has all of the same buttons as a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller. | | The DS is also the first Nintendo system to have a built-in wireless connection, allowing it to link up with other DS's without any wires or add-ons. This was also the first system Nintendo made to go online (''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' being the first Nintendo-made online game), using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. |
|

|
| ==Models==
| | Before the official name's release, '''Iris''' was the first codename for the handheld that would be the successor of the Game Boy Advance. Later it was called '''Nitro''' when the new device created had two screens. |
| ===Nintendo DS Lite===
| |
| {{main-wiki|nwiki|Nintendo DS Lite|NintendoWiki}}
| |
| [[File:Nintendo DS Lite white.jpg|thumb|right|150px|A Polar White DS Lite with a stylus]]
| |
| A newer model named the '''Nintendo DS Lite''' was released in 2006 and contains all the features of the original Nintendo DS with some new features such as a significantly brighter screen (with four adjustment options), a lighter weight, and a smaller overall size (having the negative side effect of a regular [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge protruding out from the bottom, similar to playing a Game Boy or Game Boy Color cartridge in the Game Boy Advance). The Nintendo DS Lite sold 89.19 million units as of 2010.{{ref needed}} It was also the final handheld system to have backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance games.

| |
|
| ===Nintendo DSi and DSi XL===
| | The Nintendo DS (including DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL) sold 128.90 million units as of 2010, making it Nintendo's best selling video game console. {{fact}} |
| {{main|Nintendo DSi}}
| |
| [[File:Black Dsi.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Nintendo DSi]]
| |
| A third model, called the '''Nintendo DSi''', was first released in Japan in December 2008. It is thinner, lighter, and brighter than the Nintendo DS Lite, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot. However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak, which was used with titles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', alongside other peripherals which used the slot, cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added. Additionally, the console supports WPA encrypted networks.
| |
|
| |
|
| The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop, which are then stored on an SD Card or in internal memory. It was released in Japan on November 1, 2008, in Australia on April 2, 2009, in Europe on April 3, 2009, and in North America on April 5, 2009. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi. In 2009, Nintendo later released the [[Nintendo DSi#Nintendo DSi XL|Nintendo DSi XL]], with the "XL" standing for "Extra Large". It is also the heaviest of the four models.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20090219091810/http://www.nintendo.com//whatsnew//detail//Q5D4ti_bPqJO_I0Oup0AMFudaUOLz6C7|title=Nintendo DSi launches April 5 in the United States|date=February 18, 2009|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

| ==Stylus== | | ==Nintendo DSi== |
| [[File:Stylus.jpg|thumb|A Nintendo DS stylus]] | | {{main|Nintendo DSi}} |
| The {{button|ds|stylus}} '''stylus''' is a pencil-like accessory that comes included with the Nintendo DS system. The instrument is often used in conjunction with the Touch Screen. Usually, the stylus is used to make menu selections, which the player can do by bringing the stylus in contact with their selection on the Touch Screen. Additionally, the stylus is often useful for touching precise points on the Touch Screen during gameplay. For example, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' use the stylus for [[minigame]]s such as [[Wanted!]] and [[Roach Smash]]. The stylus is also used to control [[Mini]]s in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''.
| | [[Image:DSi.PNG|thumb|300px|The Nintendo DSi with their generic colors.]] |
| | | A third model, called the '''Nintendo DSi''', was announced on October 2nd, 2008. It is thinner and lighter than the Nintendo DS Lite, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot. However, this means that the Nintendo DS Rumble Pack, which was used with titles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added. |
| On the DS, the stylus slot is located on the back, and is inserted downwards, relatively to the DS itself. On the DS Lite and DSi, however, it was relocated to the right side of the system, and is inserted from right to left, relative to the DS Lite or DSi.
| |
|
| |
|
| The stylus for the DS is noticeably thinner than the stylus for the DS Lite. A DS generally comes with two styluses when purchased, with extra styluses available for purchase separately. Special styluses were also released, some as promotions for certain games, such as touch pens based on ''New Super Mario Bros.'' depicting [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. | | The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop, stored on an SD Card or in internal memory. It was released in Japan on November 1st, 2008, in North America on April 5th 2009 and in Europe on April 3rd 2009. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi. Also, shortly after Nintendo releaded the DSi, they released a [[Nintendo DSi XL]], and the extra XL stands for extra large, as the DSi XL is larger than the normal DSi. open.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/Q5D4ti_bPqJO_I0Oup0AMFudaUOLz6C7</ref> |

| | The '''Nintendo 3DS''' is an upcoming handheld console that will be the successor to the [[Nintendo DS]] series to be released in early 2011. The console will have a 3D display without the need for glasses (known as [[wikipedia:autostereoscopy|autostereoscopy]]), using [[wikipedia:Parallax Barrier|Parallax Barrier]] technology<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2010/100323e.pdf Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine - nintendo.co.jp]</ref>. The Nintendo 3DS was first revealed during the E3 2010 in Los Angeles, California. |
|
| |
|
| ==Microphone==
| | The prime feature of the handheld is the 3D display, which is shown in the upper screen of 3.5 inches. The Nintendo 3DS also includes a camera on its inner side located at the top of the upper screen and two outside over the lid, giving the capability to take 3D photos and also 3-Dimensional videos. A 3D depth slide, a motion sensor and a gyroscope were added for the handheld, and an analog stick on its inner side along with the direction pad. Some buttons were moved such as Select and Start, that are found currently below the bottom touch screen. The power button is now located below the A, B, X and Y buttons. The new button Home, which allows users to enter directly the system's menu, is found between the Start and Select buttons, like the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]. The handheld also is able to find Wireless Connection spots and other Nintendo 3DS automatically for online play<ref>http://mynintendonews.com/2010/06/15/nintendo-huge-nintendo-wii-3ds-and-ds-announcements-at-todays-e3-press-conference/</ref>. It is backwards compatible with DS and DSi games. |
| [[File:Microphone dslite.jpg|x100px|thumb|The microphone on the Nintendo DS Lite]]
| |
| The {{button|ds|mic}} '''microphone''' is a feature on the Nintendo DS. On the original DS, it is at the lower left-hand corner, right below the screen. On the DS Lite, it is at the middle in between the two screens. Its function is to accept audio input. Blowing into it will allow events to happen in the game that the player is playing, including:
| |
|
| |
|
| *''[[Mario Kart DS]]'': [[Balloon Battle]] has the drivers' reserve balloons put into use by blowing into the microphone. The {{button|ds|Select}} button can also be used, but is slightly slower compared to a full breath.
| | The Nintendo 3DS will be available upon its release date in two colors: Aqua Blue and Kosmo Black. |
| *''[[Super Princess Peach]]'': In the minigame [[Toad Jump]], blowing into the microphone is needed to make [[Toad]] jump over obstacles.
| |
| *''[[Mario Party DS]]'': Some minigames specifically use the microphone, such as [[Big Blowout]].
| |
| *''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'': [[Mike]]'s [[Mic Rocking]] level revolve around the microphone.
| |
| *''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'': One microgame on the [[Jimmy T|Jimmy]] Coaster requires using the microphone, to blow off a man's scarf.
| |
| *''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'': [[Wicked Wario]] requires blowing into the microphone to make him fly.
| |
|
| |
|
| In other games, the player must say words into the microphone. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the player must clap into the mic to gain inspiration from the crowd in Long Jump and Triple Jump. Also, in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the player needs to use the microphone at certain points, such as breathing out fire as Giant Bowser.

Usually, the stylus is used to make menu selections, which the player can accomplish by bringing the stylus in contact with their selection on the touch screen. The stylus is often helpful or required in gameplay. For example, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' require the use of the stylus for [[Mini-game|mini-games]] such as [[Wanted!]] and [[Roach Smash]], and the stylus is also necessary to make [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] toys [[jump]], in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''. |
|
| |
|
| ==Rumble Pak==
| | On the DS, the stylus slot is located on the back, and is inserted downwards, relatively to the DS itself. On the DS Lite and DSi, however, it was relocated to the right side of the system, and is inserted from right to left, relatively to the DS Lite or DSi. |

| [[File:NDS Rumble Pak.png|thumb]]
| |
| This accessory is shaped like a {{iw|nwiki|Game Pak#Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance Game Pak}}, which it inserts into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite. It is incompatible with the [[Nintendo DSi]], Nintendo DSi XL, or any [[Nintendo 3DS]] because they lack the required GBA slot. ''Super Mario'' games that support the Rumble Pak are ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]''.
| |

| |
|
| |
|
| ==Appearances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise==
| | The stylus for the DS is noticeably thinner than the stylus for the DS Lite. A DS generally comes with two styluses, and extras can usually be purchased from stores or special ones from promotions. |
| ===''WarioWare'' series===
| |
| The plot of ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' revolves around [[Wario]] obtaining a gaming console resembling a Nintendo DS and using it to market new [[microgame]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| A Nintendo DS appears in some of the microgames. In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', it can be seen in the [[Stylus Hunt|Pushing Buttons]] microgame. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', a Nintendo DS appears in the [[microgame]]s [[Brain Age]], and [[Wario Hunting]] as one of the possible baits. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', a Nintendo DS appears in the second level difficulty of the [[WarioWare (microgame)|WarioWare]] microgame.

|
| In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', a Nintendo DS also appears as a sound effect icon in the [[Sound Studio]].
| | ==Microphone== |
| | | [[Image:Microphone dslite.jpg|thumb|The '''Microphone''' on the Nintendo DS Lite.]] |
| A Nintendo DS is one of the unlockable [[List of souvenirs in WarioWare Gold|souvenirs]] in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.
| | The '''Microphone''' is a feature on the [[Nintendo DS]]. On the original DS, it is at the lower left-hand corner, right below the screen. On the DS Lite, it is at the middle in between the two screens. On the DSi, this position is replaced by the Camera, and the Microphone was moved about 2 cm to the right. Blowing into it will allow events to happen in the game that the player is playing, such as [[Toad Jump]]. In other games, the player must say words into the Microphone. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the player must clap into the mic to gain inspiration from the crowd in Long Jump and Triple Jump. Also, in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the player needs to use the microphone to blow fire whenever Bowser gets large. |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart DS''===
| |
| One of the battle courses in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' is the [[Nintendo DS (battle course)|Nintendo DS]]. It is a nod to the [[Nintendo GameCube (battle course)|Nintendo GameCube]] battle course from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', as it is based on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. A picture of the original DS can be seen on some of the billboards in [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]].

| ===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
| |
| [[File:Shroob2.jpg|200px|thumb|A Shroob holding a silver, flip-top communicator]]
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Shroob]]s call [[Shroob saucer|saucer]]s by using a silver, flip-top communicator. Because the Nintendo DS has the capability to send verbal messages to friends, this may be a reference to the Nintendo DS. Additionally, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] is shown to own a [[DS time radar|Nintendo DS with an apparent time radar]] he used to locate [[Princess Peach]] at the beginning of the game; he later uses the DS to operate the [[Hydrogush 4000]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the [[Emoglobin]]s that run [[The Gauntlet|the Gauntlet]] and [[Cholesteroad]] are shaped similarly to the DS systems. Additionally, [[Dark Fawful]] uses a device that resembles a Nintendo DS to track down the [[Dark Star]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Paper Mario''===
| |
| ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' includes a computer console called the [[Dining Specializer]], which is modeled after the Nintendo DS Lite (and can also be abbreviated "DS"). There is also a two-screened handheld that resembles a Nintendo DS known as a [[Training Machine]], which the fortune teller [[Merluvlee]] wanted to use to train her brain (which, in turn, is a reference to the popular DS title, ''[[Brain Age]]'', known in British English as "Brain Training").
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Strikers Charged''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Strikers' Times are shown on the Touch Screen of a Nintendo DS Lite. | |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party DS''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', when the player defeats [[Bowser]] at the end of the story mode, the five [[Sky Crystal]]s join and form something like a crystal Nintendo DS, unlocking [[Triangle Twisters]]. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', one of the names that can appear upon pressing the random button when naming a custom stage is "DS". There is also a [[stage]] called [[PictoChat]], based on the Nintendo DS's pre-installed communication application of the same name; the emblem used for this stage is derived from the two squares that replace the letter "O" in the Nintendo DS logo. A music track used in the stage, also titled "PictoChat", uses the emblem as well and features sound effects from the Nintendo DS and [[Wii]] menus as well as the ''PictoChat'' application. Additionally, in the Trophy Hoard, a black Nintendo DS Lite can be seen in the background with the presents.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Country Returns''=== | | ==In-Game References== |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', if left idle for long enough, [[Donkey Kong]] will pull out a Nintendo DS Lite to play a game.
| | [[Image:Nintendo_DS_Emblem.gif|frame|left]] |
| | *''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' - [[Shroob]]s call [[Shroob UFO]]s using a silver, flip-top communicator. Because the Nintendo DS has the capability to send verbal messages to friends, this may be a reference to the Nintendo DS. Additionally, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] is shown to own a Nintendo DS with an apparent time radar he used to locate [[Princess Peach]] at the beginning of the game; he later uses the DS to operate the [[Hydrogush 4000]] with it. |
| | *''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' - One of the names that can appear whenever a [[player]] presses the random button when they're naming their custom stage is '''DS'''. Also, a stage based on the [[PictoChat]] included in the Nintendo DS makes an appearance in ''Brawl'', complete with its very own DS emblem. |
| | *''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' - One of the battle courses is the [[Nintendo DS (battle course)|Nintendo DS]]. |
| | *''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' - There is a computer console called the [[Dining Specializer]] (also known as DS as well), which is modeled after the Nintendo DS Lite. There is also a two-screened handheld that resembles a Nintendo DS known as a [[Training Machine]], which the fortune teller [[Merluvlee]] wanted to use to train her brain (is a reference to the popular DS title, ''[[Brain Age]]''). |
| | *''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' - Bowser makes several references about the Touch Screen, saying phrases like "Keep that Touch Screen smoking!". |
| | *''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' - The [[Emoglobin|Emoglobins]] that run [[The Gauntlet|the Gauntlet]] and [[Cholesteroad]] are shaped like DS systems. Additionally, [[Dark Fawful]] uses a device that resembles a Nintendo DS to track down the [[Dark Star]]. |
| | *''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' - The main thing that [[Wario]] gets is a Nintendo DS. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''===
| | Additionally, Budgy, a character from the Nintendo DSi, has a phrase about [[Princess Peach]] infiltrating a castle in the DSi Sound mode. |
| In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', [[Luigi]] uses a device called the [[Dual Scream]] to communicate with [[Professor E. Gadd]]. The Dual Scream is based on the Nintendo DS, being the equivalent of the [[Game Boy Horror]] (based on the [[Game Boy Color]]) that Luigi uses in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
