Now that Nintendo has committed to online gaming with its Wifi connection service for the DS, it wants to show the world. To this end, Nintendo has released an advert for Mario Kart DS, which highlights the title’s multiplayer aspect.

The ad demonstrates the game’s multiplayer features through several people watching a Nascar race on TV. When one person throws his food in disgust at the screen, he’s surprised to see that the hotdog goes straight through the screen. The renegade hotdog disrupts the driver’s view, and he swerves to avoid crashing.

It’s not long before a bunch of other people are throwing pizza, ironing boards and squirting mustard at the cars. It’s an entertaining representation of the things you can do to slow down friends in a multiplayer game of Mario Kart DS.
