Review this game
Oct 24, 2014Definitely one of my favourite NDS games to date, the only thing that I have trouble with are the controls. It feels unconformable to play for long periods of time which is sort of a bummer, but one of the best games i have played ever!
Oct 19, 2014I think this is the worst game in the Mario Kart series.While it is´nt that horrible, it has some flaws that I don´t like, the first been ing, that, if do do not have a profile, you get to play as Shy Guy EVERY TIME!!!
Sep 28, 2014Mario Kart DS is a perfectly enjoyable, straightforward, and complete racing game that contains just enough challenges and difficulty levels to satisfy.
Aug 15, 2014Oh gosh, this game is great! This was one of the biggest influences of my childhood! It was one of the video games that really got me into gaming. While the multi-player isn't too impressive, what really makes it stand out is the single-player mode. It's great! There's the Grand Prix Mode, Time Trials, VS Race (A.K.A Free Run), Battle Mode and Mission Mode! I really have enjoyed this game since I was eight and still love it to pieces to this day! Apart from the DS not being the most appropriate for larger hands like mine, the control is perfect. Drifting is easy to do and enjoyable, the item balance is right so you won't see the Blue Shell too often but not everyone will get you a Bullet Bill. This course also introduced online play and retro courses! Retro courses are one of my favorite parts of the Mario Kart franchise and I owe it all to Double Dash. Your kart steers very well, nothing like Double Dash's slightly slippery driving, which isn't very helpful on windy roads where you easily fall down. While Double Dash had two incredibly good battle modes (Shine Thief and Bob-Omb Blast) I can't owe it to all that Mario Kart DS to this day has the greatest Balloon Battle out of any entry in the series! You start with one balloon, then have five more in stock. If you choose to have less balloons, you get out faster but get better items! Plus it has some great Battle Mode stages! All of them, except for Tart Top which is alright but fine since Double Dash had Tilt-A-Kart which wasn't very good either. But I like this game so much that I would play it over Mario Kart: Double Dash!
The music is upbeat and cheerful...most of the time. It did have the horrible Yoshi Falls track, but apart from that track all other tracks were memorable for me. Especially what could be my favorite track of all time: Airship Fortress. The retro track music isn't quite as good as the original games, but still pretty good to me!
Snaking got me competitive as well, so those are great aspect of these games. While the retro tracks didn't have such a proud selection (could've had better GBA and N64 stages), I'm very happy with a lot of these tracks. My second favorite video game of all time! It deserves a ten for all it has done!… Expand
Jul 28, 2014Some of my review may be slightly biased, due to this game blinding me with the most nostalgia, since it was one of my childhood games. Mario Kart DS is as close as you can get to the ultimate Mario Kart games. While this game doesn't look as good as Double Dash just did and it doesn't have as much strategy, there is a great simplicity about it that you enjoy.
Sporting fantastic gameplay, many of the best courses of Mario Kart history, some brilliant music and bright and colorful graphics. Only complaints are slightly cramped controls, but that may just be me because I have big hands, but hey. The items are well balanced and so are the Retro stage's consistency, although not all the courses were great, but hey. My favorite in the series, along with Double Dash and 8. I don't know why people say this game is one of the worst when it's not!… Expand

Mar 22, 2014The DS iteration of Mario Kart remains my favourite in the series to this day and friends and I lost many, many hours on this game. The track design and gameplay are excellent as always but, for me at least, Mario Kart DS struck the best balance between rewarding skillful driving and needing luck on your side.
Jan 9, 2014The best racer on the DS. Even though it's not my favorite Mario Kart game, this game is great for the DS. I had a lot of fun with this game, it's one of the best games on the DS.
Nov 5, 2013This game was a great game, a must buy for DS owners. Although its AI were insane on 150cc, it had great replay value, many characters to choose from, and a great map selection.
Oct 29, 2013This is definitely not the best Mario Kart game out of all 7 it's in 4th, but it's not a bad game at all, but I can't stand some of the character voices ESPECIALLY Daisy.
Sep 28, 2013Ultimately, it was a fun game, with high quality graphics for its time. It could be a little frustrating in some levels and tourneys if you didn't know the advanced tricks.

Sep 19, 2013Mario Kart DS was a good addition to the franchise. With 12 playable characters and a number of new tracks, it is definitely a fun game. Along with new tracks, updated versions of older tracks also make their way into this game, which i think is great. I would have liked to seen a little bit more characters though, and I am still waiting for the day Nintendo drops rubber banding of CPU drivers.… Expand
Aug 4, 2013Like every other Mario Kart, this one is amazing as usual. Id say this might be the best one, maybe the second best after the Wii version. What makes it so good is, The tight controls and gameplay. The online which was introduced to the series along with this game. The multiplayer is amazing and where the game shines the most. The fact that its all on a handheld. Especially the simple customization within the multiplayer that gives you the option to decide how cups are structured is brilliant!
The biggest downside is that they didn't balance the game mechanics well enough which has enabled something known as "snaking".
That aside, its a perfect racer for the handheld.
Easily a 10 out of 10 and recommended for everyone who likes good videogames.… Expand
May 2, 2013One of the best racing games ever, no matter what console/handheld you compare it to. With an extremely solid campaign littered with brilliant missions, there is nothing wrong with it. The multiplayer may be a bit glitchy, but it was Nintendo's first go, and it worked pretty damn well! The single player VS mode and Battle mode are extremely addicting, already having me donated 200+ hours just into those two modes, but the sheer amount of fun playing the game is just already satisfying. The music is also not bad, where tunes from different games before may invade your nostalgia!

Mar 28, 2013The story behind it
Mario kart is a racing game that was first launched on the super Nintendo entertainment system in 1962 which was known as Mario kart 64 and is also available via Google play store as well, to date there has been four Mario karts games for home consoles (ds and wii), three for portable games and 2 Namco arcade games. The most recent edition to the Mario kart series is Mario kart 7 which was released onto 3DS sometime last year, there are two more games in the Mario kart series in development which ach are one for the new wii u system and another arcade edition which could hit the shops any time now. The Mario kart games have developed so much over time and the producer has bought in many new things and changed the content every time this has included new items, new characters and many more as well as new tracks different elements, this was to keep the game play fresh and so people who bought all of them weren't getting the same thing every time so if u has all of them you are never getting the same game on each edition because new content is always added. The one on the ds was probably one of the best racing games ive ever played. Each series contained at least 16 original courses and plus different versions of current tracks E.G. Rainbow road was included in the 16 but then rainbow road 2 was a sequel and not included in the 16 because this was one of the tracks that was released at a later date.
The game is suitable for all ages as there is absolutely no violence involved and everyone can play it as it's a family game which everyone one can play, it is quite addictive because you never know what is going to happen as there is many different tracks which contain many different obstacles so this game isn't something you can really practice as there is so much content and so many obstacles involved within it. It doesn't affect your social impacts because it is actually good because you are getting exercise whether you are playing it on Wii or DS. Why it is a good game
It was a very good game as there is so much game play and technical ability involved within and is never boring because you never know what is going to happen. The game also tests how quick you are at reacting for example when the obstacles such as rocks are rolling down the track you have to react quickly in order to dodge them as if you get hit if you have any items these will be lost and also any coins that were collected along the track a 1/3 of them will be lost (Mario kart 7 only)I love the technical ability of this game and has got better and better every time a new one is released because this game is no ordinary racing game and is never boring because of all the different items and the different effects that the game unleashes in the middle of the laps, my personal favourite track is rainbow road because I love the colours as is a quick reaction track because the track has a very tight specific area you have to stick too and the layout of the track is consistent so this is also hard where as the others there is side bits that you can use instead of the normal section of the track to try and get more items and to try and get a head start on everyone else but rainbow road doesn't and is just straight track from start to finish and also contains loops to try and distract you to try and make you fall off, the other reason is it's a good game is because it enables you to race against other people all over the world using the built in wireless connection system which adds alot of excitement and pressure into the game which is another reason why this is probably why this is one of the best racing games around and will probably only get better when the new editions have finished development and are launched, I personally cannot wait.… Expand
Mar 25, 2013This is definitely in the top 3 best MarioKarts ever! It was the first DS game I ever got and I still play it today! It doesn't matter how old you get or how depressed you are. This game along with other Mario games will put a smile on your face!
Jan 13, 2013Mario Kart DS provides an amazing single and multiplayer experience. It has a huge array of game modes, such as Grand Prix, Battles, multiplayer modes, missions and much more. The game has a good amount of challenge to it, even though it can get a bit frustrating if you keep getting hit by items. The Grand Prix mode is fun as usual, and battles and missions can provide a good alternative if competitive racing isn't your thing. Hours of fun can also be had on Wireless Connection and Wi-Fi Connection with friends and strangers. Not many characters are available and the graphics aren't amazing, but overall this has to be a contender for the best Mario Kart game of all time.… Expand
Dec 19, 2012After all these years, this game can still be considered the best Mario Kart in the series. Graphics and sound are pleasing, and the controls and two screens work perfectly. The single player mode is still the deepest to date with a VS. mode and the very cool missions mode added on. The replay value here is really high and has kept me coming back. Multiplayer is also well-done with the download-play (which is limited on purpose and is supposed to feel like a demo), local wireless, and a decent online. The characters choices are great (Dry Bones and R.O.B. were awesome additions), and the different karts to choose from was a plus. Creating a custom emblem was innovative, and the ability to use the mic in balloon battle was an interesting feature. Racing is very fun with the items being crazy, but no so much to the point of being cheap. The only two minor drawbacks to this game was that the online was limited, and the game is really easy. However, the online was still good overall and was a nice start in the series, also the easy difficulty allows the game to be highly accessible. I did have to round up the score because of the way it works on this site, but I'd give this a 9.5/10. One of the best racing games I've ever played.… Expand
Dec 7, 2012I seriously don't get how people like this game. The one reason I take away three point three out of ten is because of its horrendous graphics, I know, I'm being cruel, but here's an idea, why don't you make it like the one for gameboy advanced or Super Nintendo, so the graphics would look half decent. One aspect that is a positive would be the variety of character (compared to the minimal selection in 7). Overall, 6.7/10… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Great game. Almost flawless. It still has powerups that doom the drivers in first place but thats a given. Other than the fact the multiplayer is full of cheaters, its arguably one of the best nintendo ds games out there
Oct 28, 2012It was the first game that included Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in Nintendo DS system. The graphics and 3D models are awesome for DS game. The gameplay is challenging and fun to play. Mario Kart DS is recommended who already haves Nintendo DS, then buy the New Super Mario Bros.
May 4, 2012Mario Kart DS is not quite the worst Mario Kart I have played, but is definitely not the best. The graphics were pretty good. The online multiplayer is great, especially since the few of my friends that even have a Nintendo DS do not want to spend the time to get it all together. The unlockables were a fair challenge and were varied. I usually bring this title on a trip because of its simplicity and replayability. There was one major flaw, though. It lacked any depth to be taken seriously. The races were more boring than the other titles mainly because the tracks did not have a lot of work put into them. Still, good game, especially for the Nintendo DS's flooded infantile, childish titles.… Expand
May 3, 2012Although limited by it's genre, Mario Kart DS is about as good as a karting game can be on the DS. It controls well and has a ton of content. The game also appeals nicely to nostalgia, featuring a 'greatest hits' package of past Mario Kart tracks alongside the brand new ones. Basically, if you're craving a descent cartoon racer for the DS then you need look no further.
Apr 24, 2012A really really boring and bad game.The game has no point to it at all.The mission are so so BORING!
Apr 15, 2012this game was fun but got tiring after wards and I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gald they came out with the mario kart 7 game
Feb 13, 2012Purely the best racing game ever made. With online play (being a first for the series), missions, and tons of characters and stages to unlock, this game could keep you occupied forever. Must have for any racing fan.
Jan 23, 2012As the same with Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Kart DS is the first DS game I have ever phad and in a broad perspective, the best Mario Kart game ever made. Everything is done right in this game. Its track selection is amazing, the gameplay is the most balanced out of all the Mario Karts, it has more contents than any other Mario Kart games and introduced the greatest thing to ever happen to Mario Kart: multiplayer racing. This is the perfect Mario Kart game and one of the best games on the Nintendo DS.… Expand
Dec 14, 2011For something made in 2005, this game is underrated. It may be one of the best video games ever produced that year. Nintendo has upped its game. Extremely recommended for 7+ kids and adults all alike.
Nov 27, 2011Although there has been some complaints, I thought this was one of the best ds games ever!! You start of with 4 or 5 people, with only a few karts, so it is quite boring, but then if you get better, you get even more karts, I am now on one of the last things you can get, he is called B.O.B and he is great. You can also go online and race against other people from other parts of the world!! You can also "link up" with friends or family if they don't have the actual game and you can have a blast! There is soo much to this game, I have lots of things to do on it aswell still! I would recomend it to children over 3 yrs old :)… Expand
Nov 15, 2011"Mario Kart" is a great multiplayer game with many characters and fun stuff to do...with friends!!!! Co-op rocks!!! BUT. It gets too repetitive due to the lack of single-player. If your fine with that, you'll live with the game.
Nov 11, 2011I wouldn't call it the best in the series, but other than having its moments, it has fantastic gameplay that captures the feeling similarly to Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart.
Oct 28, 2011Mario Kart DS, The fifth game in the Mario Kart series and the second game in the Mario kart Series for Nintendo's portable consoles is what would be expected to anyone who has played the previous or future titles in the series, it is a competitive racing game with a large variety of strange and wacky items, power ups and weapons to use with a large cast of Mario series characters which include Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Peach, Toad, Donkey Kong and King "Bowser" Koopa along with four unlockable extra characters. The game's main mode Gran Prix consists of eight Cups, four cups with original race tracks and 4 cups with random tracks from older Mario Kart releases. There is a Mission mode for challenges and boss battles, a single player Ballon Battle mode and Shine Runners mode with AI opponents, a Time Trail mode for you to practice for best times and race ghost data. There are also multiple multiplayer modes including a Download Play demo for friends to try out (your friend will play as a Shyguy of a random colour and you will only have access to two of the eight cups), wireless multiplayer which includes "Balloon Battle" "Shine Runners" and "Gran Prix Modes" and Wifi multiplayer modes which consists of a Gran Prix of 4 races on tracks voted by the players against different player types with include "Regional" players from your general area, "Worldwide" players from all over the world, "Rivals" with similar online records to you and "Friends" which you have added to your friends list via registering their friend code. The Wifi multiplayer game gives more than enough replayablility and excitement to encourage players to keep coming back for more and to ensure that buyers get value from their purchase. There are some annoying parts to Wifi multiplayer that needs to be addressed however, some racetrack environmental hazards are disabled to stop players online from desyncing or laging with other opponents, You can't drag items behind your kart to protect yourself from damage for similar lag reasons (this can be somewhat solved by skillfully dropping your item right before a weapon collides with you to block it), there is quite a bit of players online with vulgar usernames or avatars or with hacking tools in use in an attempt to ruin the fun of the game and there are frequent trends of players disconnecting if they feel they are going to lose or it they assume a player is hacking or cheating even if they are not. An amazing game that is well worth the price you pay for it but primitive Wifi multiplayer services (from 2005, one of the first Wifi games for DS) and frustrating behaviours of online players can be a tad bit annoying to get used to.… Expand
Aug 1, 2011People can nitpick about minor issues, but here's the truth. Mario Kart DS is a great racing game, and that's hard to deny. It's addictive and very fun to play. Great game!
Jul 20, 2011Mario Kart DS offers all the polished gameplay and peerless multiplayer mode you'd expect from a Mario Kart Game. Ther's plenty of depth too with the excellent mission mode, battle mode, and tons of hidden karts and characters to unlock. Personally i would have liked a few more original tracks but you can't have everything eh?
Jul 15, 2011Mario Kart has lots of tracks, they look great, and they are really fun. There are lots of characters, who also look great, and are a lot of fun. There are lots of vehicles, that, surprise surprise, look great, and are lots of fun. Basically, everything looks great, everything is a lot of fun, and there is a lot of everything. This is Mario Kart, with great controls, lots of gamemodes, and tons of replayability. This is the perfect mobile Mario Kart game, and one you shouldn't miss.… Expand
May 25, 2011Even though Mario Kart Wii supports 12 people in WiFi, 4 is enough for frantic action in WiFi on Mario Kart DS. The smooth controls, great graphics, and excellent soundtrack make this game a gem. What I DON'T like in this installment, however, is the abuse of the drifting in WiFi.
May 7, 2011Every Mario Kart game is biased. I was playing multiplayer with my friend and I noticed whenever she was first there was absolutely no blue shells. When I was first I got absolutely annihilated. Plus it's all the same and little skill is needed.
Apr 27, 20118.5/10 = Great = A fun portable racer that's accessable and innovative with it's online features. Got repetitive for me though.
Apr 24, 2011One Of The Best Games Ever Made! Great Great Great! I Was So Shocked How Much I Loved It!
Mar 25, 2011A great game for a pretty good price. It's a load of fun with friends but the multiplayer over wi-fi usually feels too buggy, laggy or even sometimes has cheaters. The tournaments are great and the game even has a mini-games area. It has a bunch of vehicles and characters that have different sets of cars. You can unlock more cars by playing through the tournaments. The cars can even have customizable logos that you make!
I say pick this game up if you like Cartoon like racing. Mario is generally always good.… Expand
Mar 14, 2011This game is simply epic. There is so much to do, and so many different character/kart combinations to race. My particular favorite is Time Trials- an addition to the game that makes it never get old. This game is one of the many outstandingly enjoyable Mario games on DS.
Jan 16, 2011Shame this game has gone missing somewhere. Oh yes AnonymousMC. A PSP is a portable PS2. No wait. The games on it suck and there's only a few games worth playing on it. The DS is original and not like the Wii most of the games are not shovelware. Just what I'd expect from a Sony Guy. Oh the game. Sorry. The graphics are really good for a DS game, the game is really fun to play, the multiplayer is really good, the tracks are fun to play on and some Retro tracks are back and the music is back and has not been messed around with too much. The only two bones I have to pick with it though is that there's not much tracks to race on and Shine Runners is just a stupid idea. If you own a DS and don't have this, this game needs to be added to your collection.… Expand
Jan 8, 2011If you are lloking for a great Mario adventure to pass the time, don't miss out on Mario Kart DS. Including all the great extras, it would be a great addition to any DS collection. There is no story line to go along with the game, but the simplicity and dynamics of the game will keep you playing for hours on end.
Dec 29, 2010Four or so years on, I'm still playing it. That's how great and addictive this game is. It had geat depth and the Mission mode is a nice addition. The Vs mode will have you coming back for more like it has with me over and over again complete with some of the best tracks in the series. Online is solid, if slightly empty. The only dissapointment is the lack of characters. Although Yoshi was there, so I'm not too bothered. Besides that, it's a solid racer that is a worthy entry into the Mario Kart series, despite it lacking the series staple of having you and three other mates huddled around a TV racing each other.… Expand
Dec 25, 2010Mario Kart DS is a racing game, in which the player races in a kart against other racers as one of 13 characters, each with three karts to choose from. While racing, the Nintendo DS's top screen offers a third-person perspective of the player's kart, while the bottom touchscreen shows the race's current standings, items carried by each racer, and a map of the course. The bottom screen can be toggled to show either an overview of the entire course, or a bird's-eye view of the player's kart and the immediate vicinity, including nearby racers, course hazards, item boxes, and incoming attacks. Each course features item boxes that the player can drive through to receive a randomly selected item, which the player can use to gain an advantage over other racers. Some items allow the player to attack other racers to slow them down, while other items can be used to speed up the player's own kart to pass other racers more easily. Thank you Wikipedia, this game is absoulete excellent.… Expand
Oct 16, 2010This game goes perfect in every way almost. The drifting mechanics feel pefect if you dont drift at all you fell perfect the courses provide so much variety. your oppenets drive perfectly and put up a fight. But this game strives th most with multypler. It has single card ds download, multycard ds download, and it even has online multyplayer. The online multyplayer isnt as fun as the ds download thogh. Mostly because your sitting next to your freinds so when there pulling up to the finish line at moo moo farm and you use three perfectly timed mushromms to take the lead and break his hopes of breaking your 7 game win streak you can rub it all in your face. The career mode is nice increasing in difficulty not because you oppenets are getting better but you getting slower making you have to use you powerups more wisley. There is also missions that your character takes place in but i never realy got into these because there not actually races there mor varied but not as fun. The cast af characters and karts is great although it had to be cut down so the game could fit into the hardrive that the ds offers. THe only reason I gave this game a nine is because im harsh and the online multyplayer is choppy.… Expand
Sep 24, 2010No question, one of the best video games I've ever played. I've played this game for nearly 5 years, and I'm still hooked on Mario Kart DS. I love it!
Sep 16, 2010Mario Kart is as enjoyable as ever- and with online / local network play and over thirty tracks to choose from, the DS title is a more than welcome addition to the series. The lack of DS graphical power is certainly not as issue here, with the gameplay being as tight and as intense as it always has been. It's very difficult to find someone who doesn't enjoy playing Mario Kart in some shape or form, whatever the age, and the same can certainly be said for this latest hand-held release.… Expand
Aug 23, 2010A near flawless Mario Kart experience, but could have beniffeted from being released later in the DS's timeline, so as to include more tracks and characters. Even saying that, MArio Kart DS is packed with content, featuring 32 tracks and a decent amount of characters. With sme smooth and solid grpahics for DS, this is a definitive racing experience, and has a lot more soul than the Wii version. With another player, the rel fun begins, and the spirit of Mario Kar comes alive- pure multiplayer fun.… Expand
Mario Kart Ds is definitely the best portable racers if not the best portable game ever, it has good graphics fun gameplay, good local multiplayer and online, and great controls, but by no means is the game perfect. Mario Kart Ds is a new installment in the long running series of games from Nintendo. The Mario Kart games are racers with a twist, power ups. In the game there are many power ups that will give you the edge on enemy racers. All the power ups in Mario kart are varied and strange, for example there are green shells that you use as projectiles, and red shells you use as heat seeking projectiles. Like I said Mario kart is not perfect but Its problems are few and small problems, but the problems are still there. One problem is that the game is very easy on any difficulty, so if your looking for a racer were your biting your nail hopping you will win you should look some were else because this isn't it. Mario kart's other problem is that while it is very easy it sometimes also feels cheep because the enemy racers will hit with multiple power ups (like shells) one after the other till you go from 1st to last. Overall Mario Kart ds is a great new installment to the series.… Collapse
Aug 13, 2010This is a brilliant racing game, the best on DS. With loads of characters and tracks, challenges, and battles it will really have you coming back for more. Very highly reccomended.

Everything about MKDS comes together into a surprisingly compelling package, a portable racing game on par with anything ever to appear on a console.
Reason alone to own the DS platform. All of the fun that has been intrinsic to the series is intact, and the much-anticipated online component simply seals the deal. This is best game in the series by far, and perhaps the best kart-style racing game ever to come along.
It's hard to imagine how Nintendo's going to improve on what they've done for this stunning portable rendition. There's so much gameplay and depth in this design, moreso than the series has ever had in the past.

To the casual observer they were a group of kids playing a summertime pickup basketball game outside a Golden Gate apartment complex.
To Cpl. Dale Dear and Cpl.Yesenia Pedraza of the Collier County Sheriff's Office, they were kids in serious need of, well, a basketball.
"They were playing basketball with a soccer ball,'' Dear said. "We took out a basketball from our car and began playing a two-on-two game with them."
Similar scenes featuring kids and deputies have been playing out in neighborhood communities around Collier County since mid-June when CCSO launched "Have A Ball This Summer!" The grass-roots, community-based program seeks to build relationships between kids and deputies while engaged in a positive activity.
Throughout the summer, the trunks of many marked CCSO patrol cars will contain a basketball, a football and a soccer ball. If a deputy is between calls and spots kids congregating, he or she will stop, take out a ball and toss it around with them while getting to know them. At the end of the informal encounter the deputy will leave the ball with the kids as a memento.
CCSO has purchased several dozen balls to get the program started. To keep it going, boxes have been placed in each of the CCSO substations throughout the county. Members of the community are invited to drop off their gently used sports balls such as basketballs, footballs, soccer balls and volleyballs for the program.
Cpl. Dear and Cpl. Pedraza left the basketball with the kids who were playing hoops outside Naples Place Apartments, 1800 Sunshine Blvd. on June 24. They designated one of the kids as the ball "keeper."
"As we were leaving, they ran to the edge of the parking lot to thank us for being there," Cpl. Dear said.
Kids are starting to approach deputies, even if just to say hi, thanks to the "Have A Ball This Summer!"
On a recent day a group of kids ran up to deputies in a patrol car outside the Peach Plum Apartments in the 1600 block of Sunshine Blvd. in Golden Gate.
"They wanted to know when we were going to play football and soccer with them," Dear said.
It's not just kids who are excited about the 'Have A Ball' program. Parents and other adults who live in the communities have also approached deputies to thank them for their involvement.
The program's continued success also depends on involvement from the community.
Members of the community may drop off their gently used sports balls between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at any of the following locations:
North Naples substation, District 1
776 Vanderbilt Beach Road
Naples, FL 34108-8707

- FitzFitzDined on 11/18/2014A central location with knowledgable staff, fine food, and an upbeat atmosphere without being frantic. FitzSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/17/2014Aside from the seafood chowder (which was great) the food was less than average
- Overall, just a great experienceNinjaBuddha13Dined on 11/9/2014Went on a Sunday night, so it was very quiet letting my date and I engage in our conversation without needing to raise our voices at all. The staff was attentive and very good at knowing when to be there and when not to. For example, my water glass was never empty, but our sever was definitely not hovering. The atmosphere is great. You can dress pretty much as formally or casually as you want and not feel out of place. The food was simply outstanding. It tasted great and was presented very nicely. It was also brought to our table very shortly after we ordered. Overall, just a great experience.Special Features:
- Great spot-NickiDined on 11/7/2014My husband and I really enjoyed Spring Orleans! The service was great and the food was awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love it!SessieDined on 11/2/2014We have been going to Springs Orleans since it opened. Love the food and are addicted to the beignets. The brunch is really New Orleans . Their offerings include Etouffee, gumbo, cheese grits and shrimp. Lots of pastries and fruit. There are also scrambled eggs, bacon bagels and roast beef. Everything is very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Springs OrleansOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014Very good food, service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal, nice place to take a group.Special Features:
- Best Place EverOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/31/2014I love this place. This is the 2nd time I've eaten there and they have made me a customer for life. I love the food, the atmosphere, the service, everything is absolutely spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yummy!BeachykeenDined on 10/24/2014We had a fabulous meal here on a Friday night. Great food! I had the best shrimp and grits since leaving N'awlins years ago. My husband had the steak and was super impressed as well. Great drinks too. Will need to save room for dessert next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great comfortable settingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014My dinner with my daughter was wonderful-our server, patiently waited for us to stop talking and read the menu so we could order-he accomodated my daughter's request for a particular wine, and in general was excellent at serving us-we both commented on the magnificent tin ceiling that has been retained, and the colorful artwork displayed. Our meals were excellent, topped off with the dessert platter-we had a great evening-Special Features:
- Perfectly simpleOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/14/2014An amazing view, food selection, and staff. Could not have been more pleased with dinner and the way we were treated. The best food and the friendliest staff I have ever had in colorado. We will be customers for life.Special Features:
- Quiet dinner with friendsdenniq56Dined on 10/12/2014We went early to take advantage of happy hour (30% on all alcohol). Service was good and the food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I would sayPg13Dined on 10/11/2014My lady had the Étouffée, I make a very good very of this and that does make me picky, but this was not a good meal. We took some home to try the next day and see if it was any better and it really wasn't. I have the red beans and rice and it had a burnt taste to it, like the pan was burnt and they still serve it. The best thing we had all night, strangely enough and not New Orleans cuisine was the French onion soup. This is about the fourth time that I have been there, the other three times or for lunch, but my lady really wanted to go so I went and kept my reservations to myself. She fully degrees with my opinion now that she is eating the food at this restaurant. I will not ever go back...
- Very Enjoyable EveningSeasonedDinerDined on 10/11/2014We don't get downtown too often so we are selective in our dining locations. Springs Orleans was genuinely service oriented, working with us on our reservation change and accommodating a last minute addition of our grandson to the reservation. The piano player made the ambience feel more warm and welcomed. The food was very delicious and the portions were quite adequate (we left with doggie bags). We summed it up as a very enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- hoped for a better experienceunimpressedDined on 9/27/2014I had hoped to be one of the ones who had a better experience despite reviews being mixed. It was my wife's birthday but that did not mean anything except to the hostess who was the only person that acknowledged it. Our table was right by the server station between the booths and it was the most unromantic place. Food and service was mediocre. The blackened catfish was good but the voodoo rice was pasty and inedible. The website stated it had live music Fridays and Saturdays, and there wasn't any.
- Friday eveningBubbaDined on 9/26/2014The food was good but way overpriced. Just because you have an executive chef doesn't mean you can charge extra. I would prefer a different restaurant in town for southern, cajun food.Special Features:
- One time OnlySpecialOccasionDinerDined on 9/23/2014We tried Springs Orleans for the first time and gave the food mixed reviews. The food probably would have tasted better if we hadn't paid so much for it -- it was too expensive for the value received. They should have paid more attention to taste and less to presentation which was not as trendy as they may have wished and in one case was just comical; it was good for a laugh! We tried 5 entrees. 2 were considered "very good". In 2 other meals the diners were disappointed, and the last was in part good. We did enjoy the desserts. Our young teen ordered a half meal and would have walked away hungry if it weren't for the dessert. I thought having this option was nice though. On this week night we had no problem conversing in the diner.Special Features:
- OutstandingLuv2dineDined on 9/6/2014Thanks Molly for great service and recommendations! This was our first time here. We were seated immediately. We order cocktails based on waitress recommendation. Good job! We had the blackened catfish and shrimp. It was to die for and the voodoo rice out of this world! We topped it off with banana pudding. OMG, just like what grandma use to make! We will be going back. Thanks for excellent service, nice size portions, and a scrumptious meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- About how the pasta were cookedBirthdaydinner2014Dined on 9/2/2014The pasta weren't fully cooked, which made the dish tate fade. The entrees were OK. This is not the best restaurant I have been in.Special Features:
- Great food- possibly new serverAngieVIPDined on 8/30/2014the rest it.of .the staff was great, but the server, we had to ask for our drinks twice. the manager brought us our check and processed itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent ServiceroadwarriorVIPDined on 8/28/2014In reading reviews,, the trend seemed to be that food was good but service was severely lacking at Spring Orleans. Jenn greeted me promptly and offered suggestions for dinner choices. She brought delicious chips and dip which she said were made in-house daily. She offered bread with my crawfish and shrimp etouffee'. Jenn also stopped back by my table and offered a glass of wine as happy hour was about to end. It was a very nice dining experience made complete by outstanding service. Thank you, Jenn!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumColoEddieDined on 8/23/2014First time at Springs Orleans but will definitely be back. Unfortunately it was a breezy evening so we couldn't sit outside, but we really enjoyed our cozy booth for two. The service may have been too good as our appetizer came out in less than 5 minutes and our dinner arrived within 5 minutes of completing the appetizer. This was are only complaint since we weren't here for a power lunch. The food was absolutely amazing. I am a Colorado native, so my Cajun palette is not too experienced but the spices, sauces and seafood were all incredible. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gave Up One Hour After OrderingMarkDined on 8/22/2014We decided to try dinner at Springs Orleans despite the prior comments on Open Table about poor service. Sadly we should have listened to the comments. We gave up and left after waiting an hour from the time we placed our order. The restaurant wasn't even half full at the time.
- KenDisappointedDined on 8/22/2014The food was good. The restaurant was too noisy for our taste but it was buzzing. The service was the sore point. Our waitress was very friendly but slow. We waited quite a long time for her to come and take our order. The restaurant had a complimentary dish of chips and dip that she did not bring until our appetizers had already arrived. I noticed two tables near us had their chips immediately when they sat down. Understand this was just one waitress. Others seemed to be working harder. Overall I would probably not return to Springs Orleans.Special Features:
- Still the sameTarheel1991Dined on 8/16/2014This was our second trip to Springs Orleans with similar results. Waiter, John Michael, seemed to have better things to do. Ran out of water. Still no bread with etoufee or other pasta dishes. Food was good but over priced. Needs bread on the table or at least along side to sop up sauce. Piano too loud if you have to sit near it. Room needs some sound work as it is too loud when full of people. I think if a table doesn't order a bunch of drinks the wait staff basically ignores it. Could be a much better experience.
- Here's some good Cajun & CreolesusanatthecastleVIPDined on 8/14/2014I loved the étouffée sauce. We had the shrimp version & it was rich and creamy with just the right back burn. The Cajun Caesar was exactly what you would expect, crisp romaine with a nicely spiced dressing. The banana pudding was terrific. In fact, maybe the best I've had in Colorado.
- What a treat...........YUM !stevegrimVIPDined on 8/9/2014Took a chance on this one and we were IMPRESSED! Each of the items, from appetizer, to entree, and even dessert were TREATS to be savored. A definite return visit to try ALL of the rest of the menu items............yay !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableLabcDined on 8/2/2014The food was very good, even though the restaurant was busy we were not rushed. Nice choices, creative. We plan to return. It is fairly loud, try for a booth if you want to converse with more than one person.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 241 reviews are from the Springs Orleans reviews archive.
- MomoftwoDatenightgemDined on 7/29/2014For a great dinner out, this is the restaurant to choose. We always have superb food with good service and the ambience is outstanding. It is dimmed but not dark and the decor gives the feel of New Orleans in a very tasteful manner. We chose two appetizers that were excellent, the blue lump crab cake and blackened popcorn shrimp. A third appetizer ordered could not compare to the other two, the disco fries. I would not order them again. Two entrees that were real standouts were the crawfish etouffee with steamed rice and the blackened Mahi-Mahi with voodoo rice and an add on of crab meat hollandaise. True delicious decadence!! The desserts we ordered and all loved were banana pudding and bread pudding. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014The food was very good and the drinks were well made. However, our server acted like he had somewhere he'd rather be, even though the restaurant was not particularly busy. We're not difficult customers - we know what we want, no special orders, etc., but he made us feel like we were bothering him by even placing our order.
- 3 swings and a strikePricyVIPDined on 7/25/2014I've visited 3 times with groups for dinner; each time hoping for a tasty experience and each time disappointed. Breakfast is exceptional, however. The food is what should define a restaurant, and it really lacks in quality due to overall blandness and is highly priced ($20-35/ entree yet small sizes don't make it a value).Special Features:
- Terrible ServiceCuisineExplorerDined on 7/25/2014It seemed that our evening went down hill from the moment we were seated, and it all stemmed from an un-attentive wait staff. We had wave our waiter over while he chatted with the hostess. The table next to us had another wait person and they experienced the same thing. In fact they got up and walked out. The floor manager didn't seem to have a clue, and I never saw him interact with any tables. As for the food I would call it average, no complaints concerning the food quality or presentation.
- Amazing family dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014My mother-in-law wanted to take us some place "nice" for dinner. There are lots of choices in Colorado Springs, but not all of them offer notable gluten-free options, a kids' menu, and a great wine list. Everyone had fun dressing up and the food was wonderful . . . except for the 2 mini-burgers on the kids' menu. Those were burned and overcooked. When we let our server know, we replaced it with a burger from the regular menu. Sadly, it took a little too long for the replacement burger, which looked fabulous, but my son enjoyed eating from everyone else's plates. Thankfully, they only charged us for the kids' burger, which one of us took home and enjoyed the next day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food always great, Service not soOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/14/2014We've been to eat dinner twice. Both times the food was excellent and indulgent. But, we had a different server each time and BOTH times, the service was poor. Our server didn't smile one time and she took quite a long time to get our order. She was also serving the table next to us and NOT ONCE as she passed us several times acknowledge if we needed anything. I guess we'll have to start eating the food as take-out so we can enjoy the food without the grumpy waiters.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- had a great mealOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/12/2014dining with my family, we had very good food and excellent service. Terrific attention to the food needs of my various family members - vegetarian, peanut allergic. Great vibe, good menu - wonderful experience!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing SpecialTraveller47Dined on 7/5/2014Attached to Wyndham hotel. Ambiance similar to chain restaurant. Food OK but overpriced.
- food and service were greatJohnDined on 6/25/2014Started of with The Refresher. Loved the Grilled Gator Bites. Tuna and Mahi Mahi were AMAZING. Bread pudding and cafe olé great finisher. on top of that the service was excellent. Perfect anniversary celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful mealfoodieDined on 6/16/2014Calamari and gator bites were excellent. We all had creole dishes. They were spicy and delicious! We practically licked the plates clean. The pecan tart was the perfect dessert. Service providers were attentive and friendly. We had a great time and look forward to going again and trying other menu options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food, decent pricekmcf2132Dined on 6/15/2014We had Sunday brunch here. The food was average and sometimes we had to wait for an extended period for a buffet item to be replaced if it was out but the environment/ambience and service was good. It was well priced for the flavor; if you just want a decent priced Sunday buffet I would recommend it.Special Features:
- Great place for dinner!1stTimerDined on 6/14/2014We showed up 15 minutes early for our reservations, but were still seated immediately, the service was great, great sense of timing, they really came over to us just when we needed, and were never overbearing about how good the food was, were genuinely nice. The food was excellent, I ordered the blackened popcorn chicken for an appetizer while my wife had calamari, and then at dinner she ordered the grilled salmon while I had the cowboy rib-eye. Best steak I have ever had. Also the chicken was very tasty, almost thought about making that y meal and ordering more of it. It was quite windy while we were there, so we ate indoors, but they have a great outdoor area with hanging lights that would be fantastic once the sun went down.Special Features:
- Fantastic Father's Day BrunchfoodieDined on 6/14/2014The food was great and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The server was attentive and the beignets were fantastic as usual.Special Features:

Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 11/9/14
DULUTH, Ga. -- Former Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones was free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday on a battery charge, according to jail records. Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call for a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife in Duluth. Gwinnett County Detention Center records say Jones was booked into the jail around 3:45 a.m. and was released on 2,400 bond by 11 a.m. Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their center fielder. He has 434 career home runs over the span of 17 seasons in the majors. Jones earlier this month signed a 3.5 million, one-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.

Farmington Hills police search for attempted home robbery suspect
Updated On: Aug 13 2012 05:30:51 PM EDT
Police in Farmington Hills were searching Monday for a suspected armed robber in the area of 10 Mile Road and Springbrook Drive, between Orchard Lake and Middlebelt roads.
Police say the suspect attempted to break into a home in the 23000 block of Cora Street. The Farmington Hills police chief is asking residents to remain vigilant as the search continues. Anyone with information is asked to call the Farmington Hills Police Department at 248-871-2600.
Police tell Local 4 a woman was returning to her home when she found a man with a gun inside her garage. That man was arrested after fleeing the home. The woman had called police and officers were able to take him and his gun into custody.
Police were searching for a second suspect.
They described the suspect as a black man about 20 years old, standing 6 feet tall with a medium build and wearing a black T-shirt and black pants.

Taylor Swift carried off another mature and sophisticated style statement at Sunday's Golden Globes.
She walked the red carpet wearing a wine-colored Donna Karan Atelier backless dress, accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Rene Caovilla shoes and an Oroton clutch.
Brrrrr. It was pretty chilly late Sunday afternoon on the Golden Globes carpet in Beverly Hills.
No wonder three of the top fashionistas -- Globe nominee Naomi Watts (The Impossible), Jennifer Lopez and reality star-turned-designer Nicole Richie -- all wore long gowns with long sleeves.
PHOTOS: Golden Globes Red Carpet Arrivals
Girls creator, actor, writer and director Lena Dunham admitted on the Golden Globes red carpet that she would rather be at home, sitting on her bed, eating dim sum and reading the tweets of her followers and fans of her HBO series, which aired tonight.
No such luck. Instead she was all gee-gawed up in a burgundy satin off-the-shoulder gown -- one of her best red carpet choices so far.
We got worried there for a while. It actually looked like black's moment -- its very, very long 20-year moment -- was coming to an end, and we'd have to burn our entire wardrobe. That's how strong this summer of color-blocking was: It nearly knocked black on its back. However, we learned at the Golden Globes from various chic actresses that the "new black" is embellished, beaded, striped with white, or detailed with polka dots and sheer fabric.
At Saturday's BAFTA Golden Globe bash at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Les Miserables star Amanda Seyfried was overheard telling Hugh Jackman that she was going to wear a white gown to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
And darned if she didn't, turning up in a stunning, delicate white lace Givenchy gown with sexy, sheer panels.
But, oops and double oops.
Zooey Deschanel did it. So did Claire Danes. Jessica Alba wore a shade of it. You could say Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard are in it too. In a sea of black or white -- or black and white -- red orange, often referred to as poppy (the most fiery color around and one that seemed to have its moment last summer), was the standout color of the night.
So you're a Golden Globe nominee and you think you've selected a unique hue -- a pale blue gown -- for the Golden Globes carpet.
No such luck.
Zero Dark Thirty best actress nominee Jessica Chastain's aqua gown was the same color as Rosario Dawson's dress, which also happened to be a little more figure-flattering than Chastain's.
Can you say red hot? Claire Danes and Jennifer Lawrence heated up the Golden Globes red carpet in sizzling scarlet gowns on Sunday.
It's not all that embarrassing since they are in quite different categories: Danes as best actress in Homeland and Lawrence nominated for her role in the big screen's Silver Linings Playbook.
But it kinda is ... considering they are both young, hot nominees and fashion faces.
New mom Danes wore an Atelier Versace scarlet gown.
Johanna Johnston actually was wide awake with jet lag this morning after flying from London to L.A. on Wednesday night.
The Lincoln costume designer found out Wednesday night that her next project —- Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse — was postponed indefinitely and was very disappointed because she had been looking forward to the futuristic costumes. She also had "an odd and restless night" worrying about the effect of the cancellation on her crew.
Many of the actresses at last night's People's Choice Awards opted for bright bold colors, such as Lea Michele in hot pink, Chloe Moretz in screaming yellow.
But Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence faced off in basic black.
PHOTOS: People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Arrivals
Both nominated for Golden Globes for two physically demanding, dramatic roles, Anne Hathaway and Naomi Watts will be closely watched on the arrivals carpet Jan. 13. And both have been changing up their predictable red carpet looks lately, leaving their safety zones for new silhouettes and bold colors, perhaps inspired by their recent artistic turns. For example, Hathaway lost 25 lbs.
Here's the first look — call it a teaser — at Katie Holmes's new ad campaign for Bobbi Brown cosmetics.
The official ad campaign will hit magazines in February. But in this ad, she's smoldering in creator Brown's new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick, which is available online and in Sephora stores later this month.
Kate Middleton has been a grand ambassador for British designers since becoming part of the royal family. But at least one designer thinks that her Impact is far less than Kim Kardashian's.
In 2012, we noticed Kerry Washington wore some pretty chic little numbers, including the feisty and flirty peach embellished Gucci cocktail dress she donned to October's Art & Film Ball at LACMA. But now, while out promoting the awards season feature Django Unchained, she's pretty much outdone herself in three spring 2013 looks, all very different, all with European origins worn to European premieres.

Analysts say energy management will be key to the growth of home control systems in coming years but note that the category still has room to grow. In the meantime, manufacturers expect to roll out additional capabilities. Several companies are building intelligent recommendation engines that can offer energy-saving advice based on the home's energy usage. Some brands already offer sensors that measure particulate matter or carbon dioxide in the air, though a representative from the U.S. Department of Energy says more research is needed to know how to monitor air quality the best.
The largest growth opportunity for energy management may come from utilities. Several already are installing "smart meters" that provide two-way communication between the home and electric provider. The meters will enable load-management efforts, where the utility can shut off certain appliances at critical energy peaks, and targeted variable pricing programs that charge different rates based on the time of day.
Energy management system providers are riding the smart-meter boom, licensing products and software to utilities, which can offer them to residents as part of an energy-efficiency program. Greenbox, for example, offers a Web-based service through utilities that lets users monitor energy use by time of day, cost, or carbon footprint, and plans to furnish real-time monitoring and control capabilities as upgrades.
Utilities allow consumers access to the technology with a lower barrier to entry because the electric company installs the device for free, says Matt Smith, vice president of marketing for Greenbox. "Because the infrastructure is put in place [by the utility], it's something homeowners can leverage going forward," he says.
But by combining other products with its baseline offering, smart-meter programs also give builders an opportunity to offer those utility customers a customized energy management solution with better service than the utility can provide. The smart-grid initiative "is definitely going to be an absolute plus for integrators," says Michael Tangora, president of Menands, N.Y.–based integration firm Tangora Technologies. "It's just getting us further involved with consumer awareness."

New York Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith is "very, very likely" to opt out of his current contract after the season and test the free agent market, according to Moke Hamilton of Sheridan Hoops.Smith has a player option for next season, and a source close to Smith tells SheridanHoops.com that it is "very, very likely" that he will opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent this summer.Before writing Smith off as another greedy professional athlete, you should first look at his current salary. The Knicks are paying him $2.8 million this season, which is far below market value. In fact, Smith has to look no farther than teammate Steve Novak -- who's earning $4.05 million in 2012 -- to see that his services are undervalued.If he does hit the open market, Smith will be doing so at just the right time. The gifted shooter was recently named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, and he's averaged career highs across the board; 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game during the regular season.This could be trouble for the Knicks, who figure to be limited in what they can offer Smith. Whatever the case, Smith figures to cash in following his impressive season.Follow @hoopsinjurynews

UTi Worldwide says it is raising prices for shippers after the global freight forwarder saw its profit margins squeezed amid rapid growth in demand in the company's fiscal first quarter.
UTi said stronger air and ocean freight volume pushed revenue up 37 percent in the three months ending April 30, but the forwarding and logistics operator's net profit grew only slightly to $10.1 million because of tight capacity and higher shipping rates.
Shipping volume returned close to the level of two years ago, UTi CEO Eric W. Kirchner said, with rising demand driving a 54 percent gain in air freight gross revenue and a 42 percent in ocean forwarding total revenue, pushing overall gross revenue to $1.06 billion. But net revenue grew only 18 percent, and was up only 7 percent when adjusted for currency fluctuations.
That left UTi's net profit up only 2.3 percent over the same three-month period a year ago.
Kirchner said UTi now is pressing to pass along the higher rates to its shipping customers.
"Our freight forwarding results were constrained by yield pressure caused by very tight capacity and higher transportation rates," he said. "We are adjusting our pricing to reflect these higher rates, yet rates continue to be volatile on many trade lanes.
"It is difficult to predict when yields will stabilize, as it will depend on the future rate and capacity environment and our continued ability to adjust pricing. We are intent on achieving our targeted margins, which may adversely impact volume growth in future months. However, we maintain our goal of growing faster than the market," said Kirchner.
