====================
(2) Introduction
====================

One of the most entertaining aspects of Super Mario DS is the many
Touch Screen
oriented mini-games that were included. There are 36 in all, and
most of them
are very fun and challenging. They also offer a major source of
competition for
high scores on message boards.

When you first get the game, 2 games for each character are
unlocked. You must
get the rest of them in the main game by catching rabbits scattered
throughout
the castle. When you catch a rabbit, they give you a key. The key
unlocks a
mini-game in the Rec Room. Each character can find 7 rabbits, making
9 games
each, and 36 total.

=====================
(3) Yoshi's Games
=====================

Most of Yoshi's games are skill oriented. You have to think fast and
act
quickly to win them. These are probably among the first games you
will unlock.


Wanted!
-------
In-Game Description:
It's easy to get lost in the crowd! Find the one who disappeared
and touch
him. There he is!

Gameplay:
When the game starts, you will see one of the characters' faces
on the top
screen, and a whole bunch of little ones on the bottom. Your goal
is to find
the face on the bottom that matches the one on top and tap it
before the
time is up. You get a 5 second bonus when you find it, and a 10
second
penalty if you tap the wrong one. You can have a maximum of 50
seconds. As
you get to higher levels, it becomes much more difficult to find
them.


Loves me...?
------------
In-Game Description:
Play this mini-game for advice on your love life! Pluck the
petals to find
out how your crush feels about you.

Gameplay:
Not really a game, but you tap the petals on the flower to take
them off.
You see the old "Loves Me" and "Loves Me Not" thing on each
petal, and the
final one is supposed to determine if your crush loves you back.
You get to
see Yoshi plucking petals on the top screen. If you get the same
thing 3
times in a row, it becomes either "Really Loves Me!" or "Really
Loves Me...
Not!" The flowers range from having 21 petals to 1 petal. For
reasons
unknown, the flower that appears after a 1 petaled one strangely
loses all
its petals. They all just fall off, and the face is sad, but no
message is
shown. Another fun thing to do is catch the petals after you pick
them and
play around with them.


Hide and Boo Seek
-----------------
In-Game Description:
Rub the Touch Screen where the Boos are hiding! For the first 15
levels, you
get 3 seconds to find them. After that, you only get 2 seconds.

Gameplay:
When the game starts you will see ghosts flying around on the
bottom screen.
Then the Boo on the top screen will pull the light switch,
leaving you in
the dark. You must quickly rub back and forth where you think the
ghosts are
to expose them to light. They continue moving in the dark, so you
will need
to predict where they will be. If you get them all within the
time limit,
you go on to the next level.


Puzzle Panel
------------
In-Game Description:
Match the Touch Screen picture to the top screen. Touch a panel
to turn over
the surrounding panels. Harder levels will take more turns to
solve.

Gameplay:
This puzzle game can get quite tricky. You will see two grids,
one on top
and one on bottom. Your goal is to make the bottom match the top.
Tapping a
square on the bottom will make it and the 8 surrounding tiles
flip over. You
have a limited number of flips, so be sure to think it through
before you
tap. There is only one way to solve each puzzle, and you get 3
tries per
puzzle to find the solution. If you don't, you lose.


Boom Box
--------
In-Game Description:
Each time you open a treasure chest, you'll hear a sound. Open 2
chests with
the same sound. Win by matching all pairs!

Gameplay:
This is just a matching game with sounds instead of images. Tap a
chest to
hear a sound, then tap another one and try to get the same sound.
Once you
get a match, they disappear. Get rid of all of them to go to the
next level.
You can only make 3 non-matching pairs before you lose. If you
don't make
any mistakes on a level, it says "Perfect!" Some sound effects
can be
difficult to distinguish from one another; some even require you
to pay
attention to which speaker it comes out of.


Tox Box Shuffle
---------------
In-Game Description:
Oh, no! Yoshi's trapped in a Tox Box! Find which one he's in to
save him!

Gameplay:
This is one of those classic 3-cup shuffle things. Yoshi will get
put in a
box, and the boxes will shuffle around. You must keep track of
which one
he's in, and tap it when they're done moving. As you get to
harder levels,
there will be both a green and a blue Yoshi. You must remember
where both of
them are, because it can ask you for either one. You can guess
incorrectly 2
times per level before you lose.


Which Wiggler?
--------------
In-Game Description:
Touch the Wiggler on the Touch Screen that matches the one on the
top
screen. Choose carefully, though; he has a terrible temper.

Gameplay:
All you have to do for this one is tap the Wiggler on the bottom
screen that
is the same as the one on the top screen before the time is up.
Watch for
the patterns on its body sections. Later levels will have many
more Wigglers
that move all over the screen. A correct answer gets you a 5
second bonus,
while a wrong one takes 10 seconds off the timer. If you click
the wrong
one, they will all turn red and get angry. You can't tap them
until they
have stopped being mad. You can have a maximum of 50 seconds. If
you click
the wrong one, they will all turn red and get angry. You can't
tap them
until they have stopped being mad. You lose when the timer runs
out.


Mix-a-Mug
---------
In-Game Description:
Line up the slots on the Touch Screen to form a face. Win more
coins by
matching the center face in the slots to the one on the top
screen.

Gameplay:
This is a simple slot machine-like game. Tap a slider to stop it,
and try to
line up the face that is shown on the top screen. If you get it
right, you
get 3 coins, if not, you lose 3. You lose if you have 0 coins.
Make sure to
complete the face on the top screen, as you will be penalized
even if you
match up one of the other faces. My suggestion is to tap the
bottom slider
first since it's fastest. Then you can more accurately stop the
other two.


Puzzle Panic
------------
In-Game Description:
This mini-game takes Puzzle Panel to a whole new level. Put on
your thinking
cap. You're going to need it.

Gameplay:
This game is exactly like Puzzle Panel, only with a larger grid.
Your task
is to make the bottom grid match the top one. Tapping on a square
flips it
and the 8 surrounding tiles over. You are given a set amount of
taps when
the level starts, so be careful and think it through before you
tap. You can
get it wrong three times per level before you lose.

=====================
(4) Mario's Games
=====================

Mario's games require lots of skill. They involve falling Marios,
Koopa shells,
and lots of line drawing.


Mario's Slides
--------------
In-Game Description:
Guide Mario down the slides to the Star. Draw lines on the Touch
Screen to
create new routes for him. Collect 5 Stars to move up a stage.

Gameplay:
There are 4 vertical lines when the game starts, and a few
horizontal lines
on the top. Mario's head will go down one of the lines, and it
will take
every horizontal line it comes to. Try to guide him to the star
by drawing
lines between the main 4 on the bottom. Your lines stay there for
5 levels,
so don't make it to crazy or you won't be able to finish the next
levels.
Your lines disappear at the end of the 5th level. Then the level
gets harder
with either more lines on top, quicker speeds, or multiple Mario
heads to
guide. Hit the arrows on the side to make Mario fall faster. You
lose when
Mario lands in a Piranha Plant.


Bounce and Pounce
-----------------
In-Game Description:
Mario's in free fall, but he can bounce back if you touch him.
Stomp the Fly
Guys, but make sure he doesn't fall off the Touch Screen.

Gameplay:
3 Marios will fly up on screen, and you must make them fall on
top of the
Fly Guys on the bottom. Tap on the Marios to make them spring
into the air.
You can sort of steer them by tapping on their sides to make them
go in the
other direction. After you defeat the Fly Guys, you will get to
the next
level with more of them in harder positions. They can even get
smaller,
making them difficult to hit. You lose after you drop 3 Marios.
High Scores
are counted as the highest level you got to.


Sort or 'Splode
---------------
In-Game Description:
Guide Bob-ombs to the black carpet and Bob-omb Buddies to the red
carpet. If
you bring in a wrong colored Bob-omb, it will blow up!

Gameplay:
This game is very intense. You will see a red box on the left and
a black
one on the right. You must drag the Bob-ombs that come out of the
top and
bottom doors into the boxes of the same color. They will not blow
up if they
are in their own boxes. If you don't drag one into its box fast
enough or
if you put one in the wrong box, it will blow up. It will also
destroy the
other Bob-ombs in the area. After one blows up, it will count up
your score
as the number of Bob-ombs that are safe in their box. If you fill
a box with
40 Bob-ombs, it will empty them out and add them to your score,
and you can
continue playing. Also note that the Bob-ombs can't walk into the
boxes, so
you don't have to worry too much about them wandering into the
opposite
colored box.


Trampoline Time
---------------
In-Game Description:
Draw a line on the Touch Screen to turn it into a trampoline. You
can draw
up to 3 lines at a time. Help Mario bounce to safety!

Gameplay:
Several Marios will drop down from the top left, and you must
guide them to
the door on the right that is lit up. Draw lines on the Touch
Screen, and
they will turn into trampolines. You can angle them to make Mario
bounce a
different direction. Bounce him into the correct doorway to get
more points.
If he gets near the ledge beneath the door, he will grab on and
climb up.
The big trampoline at the bottom only lasts 3 bounces. After
that, you have
to be very careful not to let any fall. You can miss 3 Marios
before you
lose. Your score is the number of Marios that made it to the door.


Shuffle Shell
-------------
In-Game Description:
Use the paddle to push the Koopa shells to the target. The closer
the shells
land to the center of the target, the more points you will earn.

Gameplay:
This game is just like shuffleboard. Drag the paddle at the
bottom into the
shell above it to knock it towards the target. You get points
depending on
how close to the middle you were. If it doesn't land on the
target, you get
none. You get 5 shells, and the total score is added up after all
of them
have been hit. Be careful not to knock your good shots off the
target!
Here are the values of the rings:
Blue - 100 Points
Outer White - 300 Points
Red - 500 Points
Center White - 1000 Points


Bounce and Trounce
------------------
In-Game Description:
Mario's surrounded by Fly Guys to trounce. Touch him on his left,
right, or
center to make him bounce in that direction.

Gameplay:
This game is very similar to Bounce and Pounce, except it is
point based and
not level based. Three Marios will fly up on screen, and you must
make them
fall on top of the Fly Guys. You get a point for every one you
land on. Tap
on a Mario to make him bounce into the air. Tapping on his left
will make
him fly up and to the right, and vice versa. After you land on a
Fly Guy,
more will come. They come in all different sizes and move around
the bottom
screen. You can drop 3 Marios before you lose.


Connect the Characters
----------------------
In-Game Description:
Draw lines to match the characters' heads to their bodies.
Press "GO!" when
you're finished to see how you fared!

Gameplay:
You will see four heads at the top of the screen, and your goal
is to make
them fall to the correct bodies. Draw lines between the four main
ones to
create different paths. Each head will take every horizontal path
it comes
to. After you're finished placing lines and are confident they
will fall
correctly, press go to see if they make it. If they do, the heads
will go
back to the top in a different order, and you have to do it
again. Notice
that your old lines are still there, so it can get pretty
complicated after
a few turns. Make sure when you are placing lines that fixing a
line for one
head won't mess it up for the others. Every 5 turns your lines
are cleared
away, and it gets more difficult. There might be different
characters'
heads, or pre-drawn lines on the top screen.


Shell Smash
-----------
In-Game Description:
Hit Koopa shells together to score points. Hit many in a row for
even more
points. Score even higher points by smashing green shells
together.

Gameplay:
This game is quite crazy and entertaining. Smash the green shell
as hard as
you can with the paddle. It should hit the other shells at the
top, and they
will go flying. They will bounce all over the place, and you get
points
every time they hit each other. The score between the shells
increases
depending on how many times the shell has hit another. Green
shells give you
massive points if they hit, up to 2400. A whole bunch of green
shell
collisions can easily raise your score by tens of thousands of
points. You
get five shells, and your score is added up at the end.


Trampoline Terror
-----------------
In-Game Description:
Only players with superb stylus skills will be able to make Mario
bounce
through the rings!

Gameplay:
Draw line on the touch screen and they will turn into
trampolines. Put them
where Mario will fall, and he will bounce up off of them. Try to
angle them
so that he will go through the rings. You get extra points if you
go through
multiple rings in one jump. After all rings are gone, more will
appear in
different patterns. Pretty soon, more Marios will come also. This
adds to
the confusion as you must make sure none of them fall. The big
trampoline at
the bottom only lasts 3 bounces. After that, you have to be extra
careful
not to let Mario fall.

=====================
(5) Luigi's Games
=====================

All of Luigi's games are gambling games, mostly cards. Some of the
games can go
on for a very long time. Note that you only get a high score if you
quit while
you're ahead. If you do quit without losing, you can also come back
later and
continue with the same number of coins.


Memory Match
------------
In-Game Description:
Pick two matching cards to make them disappear. Clear all cards
to win.

Gameplay:
You are presented with several cards, and you must match all
pairs to win.
Tap them and they will flip over. If the two you tapped match,
they will
disappear. Otherwise, you lose one of your 3 coins you can bet
per turn. Try
to remember which cards are where so you can make matches. If you
finish a
level, you get 6 times the remaining coins you bet. You lose a
star if you
miss 3 times, and you gain one if you finish the level. The more
stars you
have, the more successful you have been. They do not add to your
score,
though. You lose when you run out of coins.


Pair-a-Gone
-----------
In-Game Description:
Touch 2 identical cards that are connected vertically,
horizontally, or
diagonally to make them disappear. Clear them all to win!

Gameplay:
The game starts with a lot of cards with symbols on them. If you
see two
identical ones that are touching on the side or diagonally, tap
them to make
them disappear. After they disappear, the rest of the cards will
shift up to
cover their space. If the cards get moved in such a way that no
more matches
are possible, you lose as many coins as there are cards still on
the table,
then Luigi deals again. If you manage to get rid of all the
cards, you get 5
coins. After the first level, Luigi has more cards to deal to
you, making it
longer and harder. The stars keep track of how many levels you
have
finished. You lose after you run out of coins.


Picture Poker
-------------
In-Game Description:
Get a better hand than Luigi to win! If you're confident your
hand is best,
increase your bet!

Gameplay:
Luigi will deal you 5 cards. Your goal is to get a better hand
than him. Do
this by getting combinations of groups of the same card. Look up
at the
chart in the top left screen to see the different combinations
and their
multiplier values. The symbols in the chart do NOT correspond
with the ones
on the cards, however. You could get five mushrooms and still get
a 16x
multiplier. Anyway, look at your cards and see if you have any
matches. If
you have any cards that don't match, you might want to get rid of
them and
get some new cards. First, adjust your bet by tapping the bet
thing in the
upper left of the Touch screen. Then tap the cards you don't want
anymore
(optional). Click Hit/Hold and you will get new cards and Luigi
will compare
his hand to yours. If you have a better combination, you will get
your bet
times the multiplier coins back. If not, you just lose the ones
you bet. In
the case of a tie, the symbols on your cards are judged on the
value scale
on the bottom left. Whichever person has the highest valued cards
wins the
hand. You lose if you run out of money. The stars on bottom of
the top
screen represent the ratio of winning to losing hands you've had.
If you
have any stars, it means that you've one that many more hands
than you have
lost. If you have none, it means that you've lost more hands than
you have
won.


Mushroom Roulette
-----------------
In-Game Description:
Guess where the ball will land on the roulette wheel. Guess
correctly to win
coins!

Gameplay:
The game starts with a ball spinning in the roulette wheel, and
you have 5
coins on the table. If you want to bet on where the ball will
stop, drag the
coins onto the square of your choice. You can choose from the 12
red or
black symbols, or put them on the colored diamonds. If you get
the correct
symbol, you get 12x the number of coins you bet on that square.
If you bet
on the diamond, you get 2x your bet back if it lands on that
color. You can
put up to 5 coins on a single square. You can also put coins on
the lines
between squares. If either of the squares it's touching wins, you
get 6x
your bet back. Putting coins between 4 squares gets you 3x your
bet. You
lose when you run out of coins.


Mario Slot
----------
In-Game Description:
Touch the spinning slots to stop them. Get 3 items in a row to
earn coins!
The Superstar is wild.

Gameplay:
This slot machine features great classic Mario artwork. First,
you can
adjust your bid at the bottom of the screen. Then tap a spinning
wheel to
make it stop, and do the same with the other two. If you get any
of the
combinations listed on top, you get the number next to it
multiplied by your
bet. The Super Star acts as a wild card, so if you get it and two
of the
same thing, you get rewarded for three of that symbol AND the
single star
multiplier. They do not compound, however. You get rewarded for
each of them
separately.


Lucky Stars
-----------
In-Game Description:
From a pair of cards, pick the one with more Stars to win coins.
Beat Luigi
at his own game!

Gameplay:
Luigi will deal 2 cards, and you want to choose the one with more
stars.
First adjust your bet with the counter in the upper left of the
Touch
Screen, then tap a card. If yours has more stars, you get double
your bet
back. If not, you lose your bet. You lose when you run out of
coins. You get
a star on the top screen whenever you win. They keep track of how
many more
times you have won than Luigi has.


Pair-a-Gone And On
------------------
In-Game Description:
This game of Pair-a-Gone goes on forever! Test your skill and see
how many
cards you can clear. Go for the record!

Gameplay:
This game is just like Pair-a-Gone without the levels. Luigi will
deal 20
cards, and you must get rid of them by tapping two adjacent or
diagonal
cards with the same picture. After you tap them, they will
disappear and the
rest of the cards will shift up to take their place. Luigi will
keep dealing
more cards until their are no more matches possible. Unlike
Luigi's other
games, the you do not have to quit to get a High Score.


Memory Master
-------------
In-Game Description:
If Memory Match was a piece of cake for you, try out this harder
version.
You now have more cards to play with.

Gameplay:
This is just like Memory Match, except you have more cards and 5
chances.
It also reveals some of the cards to you at the beginning. Tap
two cards to
flip them over. If they match, they disappear. If not, you lose a
coin. You
have 5 coins, and you lose when they're all gone. You get 5 coins
if you get
all matches. Try to remember the locations of the cards so you
can make more
matches and not rely on luck. Each time you finish a level you
get a star,
and you lose one if you don't. They tell you how many times more
you have
won than you have lost.


Super Mario Slot
----------------
In-Game Description:
Touch the spinning slots to stop them. Get 3 items in a row to
earn coins!
The Superstar is wild. Are you feeling super lucky?

Gameplay:
This game plays exactly like Mario Slot. Exactly. The only
difference is
that you have a much higher chance of winning. First, adjust your
bid at the
bottom of the screen. Then tap a spinning wheel to make it stop,
and do the
same with the other two. If you get any of the combinations
listed on top,
you get the number next to it multiplied by your bet. The Super
Star acts as
a wild card, so if you get it and two of the same thing, you get
rewarded
for three of that symbol AND the single star multiplier. They do
not
compound, however. You get rewarded for each of them separately.

=====================
(6) Wario's Games
=====================

Wario's games are pretty random - and fun. They can get pretty crazy
at times,
so keep focused!


Bob-omb Squad
-------------
In-Game Description:
The parachuting Bob-ombs are destroying your flowers! Use your
slingshot to
knock them out of the air. Hit Lakitu to blow them all up.

Gameplay:
This game is very popular. Your goal is to protect your 4 flowers
at the
bottom from the falling Bob-ombs. Drag the slingshot with your
stylus to
pull it back and then let go. A rock will fly up, destroying all
the
Bob-ombs in its path. The farther you pull it back, the higher it
will go.
If you hit Lakitu at the top, all the Bob-ombs on screen will be
destroyed.
Each Bob-omb can destroy one flower if it makes it to the ground,
so you
have four chances. If you start to miss a few, you can even pull
the
slingshot up and shoot downwards to get them.


Snowball Slalom
---------------
In-Game Description:
Rub the Touch Screen to roll the snowman's head to the goal
before time runs
out! Rocks will slow you down, as will touching his head!

Gameplay:
This game can be very difficult. Take your stylus and move it up
and down
next to the snowman's head. Do not make contact with the screen
on the way
down, because it will slow you down. The faster you do it, the
faster the
snowman will go. Rubbing more to the right will make him roll to
the right,
and vice versa. Try to avoid the rocks. Watch for them on the top
screen and
steer out of their path. It you hit one, you will stop and lose a
lot of
time. Do not touch the snowman's head, as it will also slow him
down. If you
make it to the finish line, it will display your time. The lowest
times make
it to the High-Score list.


Bingo Ball
----------
In-Game Description:
Launch a ball into a numbered slot on the Touch Screen. That
number will
light up in the top screen. Get 3 numbers in a row to score!

Gameplay:
In this game you are given 12 balls, and you must launch them up
into the
pegs. Drag the plunger down, and let go when the ball rolls on.
It will go
up, and bounce down into one of the slots. The number of the slot
will light
up on the grid at the top. Scoring is as follows: 100 points for
every
number that is lit up, 500 for every row of three that is lit up,
10000 if
you fill every number, and 2000 for every ball you have left if
you fill all
the slots. The highest possible score is 20900.


Coincentration
--------------
In-Game Description:
Pay attention to where the falling coins land. Touch the blocks
to retrieve
the coins. But if you choose the wrong block, your game will end.

Gameplay:
The game starts when Wario tosses up a Coin Purse, and then tons
of coins
cascade down to the bottom screen. You need to keep track of
which blocks
end up with coins on them, then tap them after they're done
falling. If you
get one with coins, it adds them to your score. If it is empty,
you lose.
If you get every coin (40 in all), it says "Perfect!" and adds
you to the
High Score list.


Psyche Out!
-----------
In-Game Description:
Are you psychic? Can you guess what's on the card's other side?
Maybe if you
stare at it long enough, a vision will come to you.

Gameplay:
This game has a trick to it. You will see a card on the top
screen, and you
have to use your "psychic" abilities to see it. What you really
have to do
is look carefully at the card, and you can see an outline of the
shape on
the other side. Tap the one it matches on the bottom. It gets
harder to see
as the game moves on, and some objects, like the cloud, can be
very hard to
make out. After 5 levels it will tell you you're lucky, then you
will
have more cards to choose from.


Slots Shot
----------
In-Game Description:
The bars swing open when a ball goes in a Piranha Plant. Sink the
ball into
the pipe to trigger the slots Switch. Get 3 items in a row for a
bonus!

Gameplay:
This game is a cross between pinball and a slot machine. You have
9 balls to
start with. Pull back the plunger and let go when a ball rolls
on. It will
shoot up, and bounce around. The mushrooms act as bumpers, and
the green
ones disappear for awhile if they get hit. If a ball lands in a
Piranha
Plant, the gates on the pipe will open. If one land s in the
other one, the
curved blue thing that blocks the pipe will disappear. Then, if a
ball goes
down it, it will hit the button and start the slot machine. If
you get 3 in
a row, you get a special bonus. The holes near the bottom return
any balls
that land in them back to the beginning, letting you shoot them
again. After
a ball goes in one of them, it closes up for the rest of the
game. Scoring
is as follows: 300 points for every mushroom that was hit, 3000
for every
ball that went in the pipe, 2000 for every ball that went in one
of the
holes, and up to 10000 points, depending on the symbols, for
every time you
won the slots.


Lakitu Launch
-------------
In-Game Description:
Shoot as many balls as you can into the tubs within the allotted
time.

Gameplay:
Your goal is to launch ball into the shells being carried by the
Lakitus.
Pull back on the slingshot with your stylus and let go to launch
the balls.
The farther you pull back, the higher it will go. Try to aim it
so it will
fall into one of the moving shells. At the end of the 30 seconds,
it will
count up how many you made. You have unlimited balls, so feel
free to shoot
tons of them aimlessly. After the Lakitus catch a few of them,
they will
fall under the weight for a couple seconds. They usually catch a
few of the
falling balls when they do this.


Intense Coincentration
----------------------
In-Game Description:
There aren't as many falling coins this time around, but that
won't stop
Wario. Watch the coins carefully!

Gameplay:
This is a harder version of Coincentration. There are fewer
coins, leaving
less room for guessing. Wario will toss a Coin Purse up, and
several coins
will fall down. Try to remember which blocks they land in, and
tap them
after they're done falling. If the block has coins in it, they
are added to
your score. If not, you lose. If you get every coin (there are
16), it says
"Perfect!" and adds you to the High Score list.


Giant Snowball Slalom
---------------------
In-Game Description:
Roll the snowball over a longer course! As before, avoid rocks
because
they'll slow you down.

Gameplay:
This is a harder and longer version of Snowball Slalom. You must
rub your
stylus up next to the Snowman's head, and it will roll. It will
begin to
build up speed, and you must avoid the penguins and rocks.
Hitting a penguin
makes the snowball smaller, which may be helpful near the end.
You must make
it to the end in 40 seconds to win. You can see how far you are
on the scale
on the right of the screen.
