The game is about Yoshi and Baby Mario or Baby Luigi. Its graphics and characters are from Yoshi's Island. The game uses the DS's touch screen a lot. It uses the microphone as well. The challenge in the game comes from playing the same thing over and over to get the best score, similar to the classic arcade games of the 1980s.
