    Overview

    A collection of short games that test problem solving and thinking skills. Scores are based on speed, as all games give only a moment to complete as many puzzles as possible. You can play the games freely in Practice, earning medals based on your performance. Test mode challenges you with five games, one from each category, and gives you a grade based on speed and accuracy. There is also a wireless Versus mode with single or multi-card play available.
