Driving in a winter wonderland

The first half of DK Pass is hectic -- a claustrophobic tunnel, crowded lanes, and cliff corners keep you alert. The second half, however, defines this Mario Kart DS course. It was this track, and not our defeatist attitude, that earned us the nickname "downhill specialist."

A slight shortcut leads into the descent, and after a quiet corridor, giant snowballs bounce beside you, threatening to flatten your chances of making it to the finish line. After a huge ramp sends you back to the bottom of the mountain, the track ends with a hairpin turn littered with snowmen. Brilliant!
