-No actual menus, just an overworld where you talk to people.
-Online multiplayer (yay...)
-Seven acts of two levels plus a boss
-No autosaving. it must be done manually
-Four vehicles to travel around the island, using the stylus to map out the journey, and then to dodge obstacles, pick up rings, etc. during the travel minigame
-Speed of the game is suited very well to the DS
-Four different characters to do the levels
-Traditional-looking enemies
-Transition from top to bottom screen not distracting
-Boss battles take place on two screens in a 3D environment, and the bosses have an energy bar instead of a set number of hits required to defeat them
-No voice acting Smiley
-Plot quality is fairly typical for a light-hearted platformer, and not very dramatic
-Overall rating: 7/10
