A lovely little DSiWare game that honestly becomes a pretty tough, well-designed movement-based puzzler. I love that we were able to get short, fun, experimental first party games like this bc of DSiWare

It's honestly a shame games like this are lost to time with the closure of WiiWare and Club Nintendo... and this one is great! It honors Nintendo's first foray into toys in a silly mini game with great music. it's a relic of several old ages, all at once.
I remember how, during this era, this game felt totally excessive and uninteresting among the other NSMB's, but I think it's a pretty well made game. The emphasis on coins is fun! I'd get a kick out of this game on Switch with HD rumble, if that ever happened.
After 12.5 years of revisiting this game, I finally rolled credits! Thanks to all my friends, and most importantly @arrispect.bsky.social for helping me finish this weirdly tough, experimental, super fun Nintendo game.
It embodies the sheer multiplayer fun Ninty is known for!
This is the kind of game I'll be chewing on for a long time to come. The story itself is beautiful and heart wrenching, but the fact that this game was completed in honor of the dev who started it before passing is... Haunting, in a good way. I'm glad this story got to be told.
It is truly wonderful that fans put the effort in to make this experience available in the modern era, and to English fans!
Honestly plays like a super high-quality LttP romhack. It's fun as heck and the music arrangements are stunning!
A game equally beautiful in its visuals, music and game design. I slept on this-- it probably would have been among my favorite games in 2024 if I played it at launch. The music especially is goooorgeous
I would love more of this world and its cute puppet protag!
