Mario Kart DS has been out for a good while now. I bought me a copy, and strongly suggest anybody else that owns a DS to do so. Its a great game, with even better online multiplayer. Ahhh…. Nintendo WiFi… Anyway, one of the cool features about the game is the ability to create your own icon, decal, image, whatever you want to call it, to represent … YOU! Unless you are a professional 2D artist your drawings are not going to come out looking that beautiful… Until now! I came across this website that has an online converter, where you can upload an image from your hard drive, and it will turn it into the 32 x 32 pixel image you need for Mario Kart DS, AND, it shows you how to draw it, pixel by pixel. ^-^ You can find the site [here]

For those of you who have NO idea on what your doing, here is a little “walkthrough”.

Step 1 : Click Browse…
Step 2 : Choose a picture that you want to convert. (try and make is kinda small/simple for better outcome)
Step 3 : Click on Closest Color (it usually gives me the better looking icon)
Step 4 : Click Make it a decal!

Once this is done it will take a second to load and then Poof! There is your icon. It will then show the icon on the lower half of the page. The bigger scaled picture is how to draw it on your DS, while the smaller one is how it will look on your Kart.

Well I hope this helped out on “tricking out your sick ride” Hehe… Anyway have fun. Post comments of the pictures you uploaded to show others.
