Save the Turtles by Sabarasa is a game that transports players to over thirty-two exotic beaches where they attempt to guide tiny turtles to their new home. The stylus must be used to rub and tap the DSi’s touchscreen, dig out eggs from the sand and line up reptiles while keeping an eye out for seagulls, crabs and litter.

Players need to aim rockets to their matching colors in the sky to set off an explosion and earn points while timing them to better their Wow Meter, unlock surprises and rockets. It features fifteen challenging levels for each world, high-score tracking, five themed environments, original music and more.
Nintendo DSi Metronome is a software that can aid users in keeping tempo when playing an instrument. It reproduces a rhythm by playing sounds based on adjustable beat and tempo settings. Nintendo’s Game & Watch: Ball title and two other metronome designs can be utilized to record the player’s own sounds for the metronome to use. There’s also the Donkey Kong Metronome minigame that has Mario jump over Donkey Kong’s barrels in sync with sounds made into the microphone to match the beat.
Nintendo DSi Instrument Tuner software may be implemented in tuning an instrument by aligning tonal pitches. Sounds can be fed into the microphone to measure the difference with a target pitch or a sample tone can be heard to help with this task. A choice of three tuner designs as well as adjustable standard musical pitch and notation come with the program. A ‘Tuner Fight’ minigame challenges players to pop balloons as they rise from pipes by making tones that match the exhibited pitches.
Super Yum Yum Puzzle Adventures by Mastertronic is a puzzle game that has a chameleon called Leon as the central character. His mission is to rescue his babies from Ms. Tum Tum’s belly. The game is designed with forty-eight levels across four worlds and special Nintendo DSi features. Gamers have to navigate several hours of mind-bending gameplay while Leon eats his way through fiendish puzzles, licks fruit to switch colors and selects the right combinations of fruit to finish each level.
