Captain Falcon's Twister Race

- tilting the GamePad from a vertical position steers your craft
- racing to survive, not against other racers
- ghost of your previous race will appear
- top-down view on GamePad
- more traditional view on TV
- make sharp turns and avoid obstacles
- entering tunnels will block your view

Yoshi's Fruit Cart

- get Yoshi to a door that will only unlock once you've collected all of the fruit that's set out on a map
- control your 'Yoshi Cart' by drawing a path on the GamePad's screen
- when your path reaches the door, the game prompts you to let Yoshi begin
- GamePad doesn't display the fruit, just the basic map
- TV won't show the path you've sketched out
- both screens use textures and shapes that exist on the map's background to guide your path
- if you reach the door without all of your fruit, it won't open
- this results in you losing a life
- roughly 50 stages to complete
- obstacles like moving fruit, holes and more
- 'fast travel' to later levels once you've reached them

- Animal Crossing Sweet Day features two levels to play in
