Minigames
Engage in a set of stylus driven mini-games with 1-4 people. The games you can play depend on the number of players. There are 5 categories of minigames, each representing a different style of play. The catagories are: Action (Games based on skill with the stylus), Puzzle (Games based on intelligent though), Table (Games based mostly on luck), Variety (Games that do not fit in other genres, not a genre in 2-player) and 1-on-1 (Games where you actions affect the other player, and vice-versa. 2-player only).
Some of the 1-player games are exactly the same as those in Super Mario 64 DS. When playing multiplayer, only one game card is needed.
