An extreme experiment into the wireless capabilities of the Nintendo DS saw four sky divers play a multiplayer game of Super Mario while plummeting towards Earth at 120 miles an hour:"It was a rush," said Myers. "Playing in the air was pretty exciting. It was also incredibly difficult. Some of the problems were that when you were jumping, you needed to bring both hands together on the DS, and it seriously decreased your stability."
Yet, notwithstanding the risks, the four sky divers proved that an ad hoc network set up using the wireless functions of a Nintendo DS works perfectly at distances of nearly 400 feet while falling 120 miles an hour.
