The DS is made to offer up three different ways of playing multiplayer depending on the game.
1.) Single Card Download Play
This allows the player the become a wireless download host to other DS owners in the immediate area. Other players can download part of the game temporarily to play against one another. This option is activated from the DS menu.
2.) Multi Card Play
A DS game with this label allows groups to share their data and progress with one another and play with their respective customized characters. This option requires every player to own a DS and to have a copy of the game. This option is activated in-game.
3.) Wifi
Some games come with free access to online servers set up to connect players from around the world on their DS. As long as you have access to a Wifi hotspot, you can connect to other online DS owners with the same game. This option requires some connection setup and is activated in-game.

No. The NDS lite cannot play 3DS games in the first place so it will not be able to link with a 3DS. However, the 3DS is backwards compatible, meaning it'll play NDS games so it can link with the DS lite if playing a NDS game.

You can connect two Nintendo DS consoles together in Pictochat, DS Download Play, or in the Multiplayer feature of many games.Pictochat allows you to send messages and drawings to each other.DS Download Play allows many consoles to play the same game, with only one DS having a game. Not all multiplayer games support DS Download Play.Games can have local multiplayer or wi-fi multiplayer, in which case you can connect to a DS anywhere in the world, as long as they're online too.
