Gameplay
The game is presented in 3rd person. Using the Nintendo DSi's D pad the player moves around their character to capture flags and return them to their base. The player may shoot firecrackers at opponents in an attempt to pop them away from the player. If the player is hit by a firecracker the player drops his/her flag (if the player is holding one) and is popped from where they were.
There are 3 main types of characters the player can be.
- Wheeled: Wheeled characters move quickly on land, but slowly in water
- Fish: Fish swim quickly in water but move slowly on land
- Flying: Flying characters move at moderate speeds above land or water
Reception
Despite not featuring major changes over its predecessor, Wiiloveit.com gave the game a 28/30, considering it to be a "must-download" with an "almost unbelievable" cost.[2]
