The [[Nintendo DS]] is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is a giant floating Nintendo DS! You can drive up and down the hinges to traverse both screens. It might be inspired by the [[Nintendo GameCube (course)|Nintendo GameCube]] course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The screens are displaying the original title screen of Mario Kart DS.

'''Nintendo DS''' is one of the battle courses featured in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The arena takes place on the first [[Nintendo DS]] model in outer space, in a similar manner to the [[Nintendo GameCube (battle course)|Nintendo GameCube]] stage from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', which takes place on its giant [[Nintendo GameCube|namesake system]] in the same setting. The Nintendo DS course has two connected platforms, which are the top and bottom screen of the large Nintendo DS. The system includes design consistencies such as the [[Nintendo DS#Microphone|microphone]] and speakers and a slanted top screen, though it is not as curved. The top screen displays the title screen of ''Mario Kart DS''. There are four [[Item Box]]es on the top screen, and six on the bottom screen, both creating a ring-like formation. The course has no obstacles aside from driving off of the stage.

In Shine Runners, there are ten possible spawning locations for the [[Shine Sprite]]s, divided into two sets of five spawning locations for each screen of the large Nintendo DS. Their distribution layout is the same on both platforms of the course, with four spawning locations on each corner and one in the center.
