How do I become smart

You don't. It's something you're born with and if you're not born with it you spend life as a drooling retard.

Have good genes. 84% of a human's genes are active in the brain, so if you have bad genes it's very likely going to manifest in your brain and make you less intelligent.

Other than that, eat healthy, exercise, get enough sleep every night, avoid activities that cause brain injuries, practice the things you want to be good at.

I don't know about any DS games but here's what works for me:
- math or anything to do with numbers
- playing an instrument (memorization, hand to eye coordination, doing different things with each hand at the same time)
- something creative (you can say that playing an instrument counts but most people only play other people's compositions)
- debating (testing and refining your ideas, learning quick thinking and responding etc.)
- acquiring new information, things you didn't know before (don't just learn more about something you're already into)
- learning some difficult physical activity that requires a lot of precision (for me, it's breakdancing)
- learning a foreign language (you tend to think differently when your thoughts are in a language different from your native)
- playing some kind of tactical competitive game (chess, D&D, even stuff like Call of Duty)

That should be enough, start from there and expand as things become easier.

Bruh, just study a lot and try to learn various subjects that will help you in the world. As I would describe it, the more you know, the better. Get into art, literature, music production, science, or whatever floats your boat. Its good to know these things even if you dont care about such things because in the long term. You could use that information to your advantage.

You read books. Find a subject that interests you.

I read about my profession, interests. Atleast once a day.

I’d go further. Read anything that catches your attention. Shitty sci-fi, your lonely aunt’s bodice rippers, classic literature, autobiographies of professional wrestlers and rock stars, visual dictionaries and fact books, etc. One interest leads to another—an author’s throwaway line may get you asking questions, which leads to a whole new set of interests.

Beyond guiding them away from porn or otherwise harmful materials, you should let kids read whatever attracts their attention. Pokemon leads to training animals leads to zoology leads to how zoos are built leads to an interest in civil engineering. Let the goddamn slippery slope work for you for once.

I would also caveat that you should read a physical book. The internet offers too many ridiculous distractions.

Start liking girly traps. I must warn you, trap love and intelligence is a chicken and egg situation. It's unclear whether smart people are more likely to love traps or are trap lovers more likely to be smart.
