This video was originally meant to be uploaded before the Mario Kart 7 videos. But I did 2 recordings the same week MK 7 was out and each one had separate issues.

The first AVI raw recording is 10 GB and if you don't know AVI dislikes playing files greater than 4GB. Apparently you can use AVI 2.0 recordings via Virtualdub screen capture but I haven't found a way to keep it fully synched with the sound.
The second AVI raw recording was split into 4 (after 8 races) and combine them into 1 MP4 video, it works but I forgot to sort out the sound recording which means the 1 hour video had no sound whatsoever.

So basically this is my third AVI raw recording and the first time playing through Mario Kart DS 2 weeks after playing Mario Kart 7. Boy the mechanics do feel a lot different, the drifting mechanics especially, I screwed up Rainbow Road (2nd Race) so easily but I still managed to get first place. The rest of the races (3 to 32) were much better.

So here is some questions for those who don't know:

What is All Cup Tour?
All Cup Tour was originally a cup exclusive to Mario Kart Double Dash where you clear all of the courses in a single sitting. This cup hasn't returned since but there is a way to play this by sorting out the options on VS Mode. To make it feel like Double Dash's All Cup Tour I set the number of courses to 32 with random choices (the same track never gets played twice).

Mario Kart Wii also has a way of doing an All Cup Tour similar to DS that SDA even has a published run on the site:

Sadly you CANNOT do this in Mario Kart 7 because solo VS mode does not exist... which is just dumb. To make things more bizarre during Grand Prix there isn't an In-game timer. The touch screen map is missing a few features seen on Mario Kart DS including:

Item Boxes, Bullet Bills (Airship Fortress) Coloured arrows when racing against a ghost (Time Trial), and you can change the touch screen map not only by touching the screen but also by pressing Y which you can't do in MK 7.
