Definitely buy Mario Kart regardless. Great game single and multiplayer for a wide range of peeps.
I personally like games like Hotel Dusk, Phoenix Wright, or the new Zelda.

Zelda PH has given me a lot of gaming pleasure so far, and I have quite a long way left to go before finishing the game! I think the controls works wonderfully.
I would recommend Zelda any day.
Here are my favorite single player games on the DS, all of which took me some time to complete, because I wanted to get all of the extras.
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow:
-- AWESOME game. My favorite DS game to date.
Castlevania Portrait of Rune:
-- Not as good as C: DS, but still a great game. It has its own strengths, it just took a little bit longer for me to get into it.
Zelda Phantom Hour Glass:
-- A bit too easy, but it's a GREAT game and would probably be my favorite if not for C: DS. It has lots of little things to do. I've been playing it for about a month now. I just got all of the items, so will beat it this week.
Magical Starsign:
-- FREAKING PLAY THIS GAME. Especially if you like RPGs. It required a bit of time for me to get into and it's very odd at first, but it ended up being so enjoyable. I played it over a period of 3 months. I really hope they make a sequel.
Mario Kart:
-- I unlocked every bonus on this game and had a blast. But I think that since it's such a great multiplayer game is the reason I spent so much time practicing and unlocking the extras.
I need to mention Nintendogs. But prepared to be consumed if you get into this game. I had to put it down because it was taking up so much of my time. I felt guilty at first for doing so. My weef also gave me some weird looks as I played this game for months and months and months...
Anyway there are soooooo many good games on the DS. I missed out on a few because I just don't have the time to play them all.

I decided on more brain training I said I wanted to get a game that would help my brain and I have lots of fun games for my Wii plus I'll get Mario Kart when that comes out for the Wii

Club-House Games (or as it's called in Europe.. 42 all time classics) is a great little package too though.
So many games that you can just pick up and put down in short bursts, that its my most played DS title.
I enjoy brain training, and more brain training too though.

I currently have Brain training, more brain training and mario kart ds which I think will keep me occupied for awhile
