Mission 1-1

Mission 1-1 is the very first mission appearing in Mario Kart DS.

In this mission, Mario is the playable character and he has to go throughout a portion of Figure-8 Circuit, the course it takes place in throughout the five numbered gates. He must do them all in order. There are sometimes a couple of mushrooms around the gates to help Mario gain a boost to attempt in getting a three-star ranking. If he doesn't complete the mission within thirty-five seconds, he loses.
