Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Quests are challenges you can do on your own, any time you want. Some are simple questions, others are things you need to do in game, such as time trials.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.

BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.

I played a lot of this one. Being handheld gave me the ability to bring it with me wherever and race a course or two. Most importantly is where Dry Bones made its debut as a racer. And I was particularly proud of the Star of Life emblem I made for the game.
10/5 stars!!
I have very fond memories of all of us sitting around in Iraq playing Mario Kart DS late at night getting pissed at each other.
I distinctly remember making someone so mad they bit their DS during a match!
This one was a shocker. I loved the Nintendo DS, but mainly for turn-based games where quick, detailed action wasn't necessary to communicate to the player, and have the player react to quickly. Then Mario Kart DS came out, and suddenly I'm racing through intricate courses, getting pushed around by waterfalls and macked by shells, and loving it. This was a great execution of Mario Kart on the DS, and I bought this game for my dad when he was stuck in a hospital bed, and it totally helped him survive.
If memory serves, one screen was used for the player's view, and one was the map, or could be toggled to the rear-view, which worked out super well. There were a good number of maps to choose from (find some of them brought back to life in Mario Kart 8 map selections), and multiplayer over WiFi was nuts. Also good Kart customization, if I recall correctly. Great game.
