 hack link April 4, 2009
There are 3 circuit classes - Beginner's, Advanced and Master's - each containing 5 circuits made up of several events from different sports. The circuits involve a special opportunity to win called the "Circuit Chance" which will double the points you earn in 1 chosen event. Contestants earn up to 10 points each match which are added to all the match points to determine the winner of the circuit, who earns a trophy.
Gift for granddaughter March 7, 2009
My granddaughter played this game with her friend and asked for one for her Nintendo DS. She enjoys the challenge of the competition.
Fun for kids! March 4, 2009
Reader,
This game is amazing. Of course I lost it 4 weeks after I bought it, because of the awful size, but I really want to find it again because of how fun it is! Play as any of your fave characters from the gang, plus maybe a character from Sonic's squad. You should really buy this because it is definetly NOT a waste of money. Go out and buy it now!

 Not good in the long run... February 10, 2009
So I was excited about getting this game - I couldnt wait to try it out and I played all the time because I wanted to do it all... Win all the trophies and medals unlock all the special stuff! There are endless options... But some of the way you play each "sport" is weird and there is too much stylus play (that ended up messing up my touch screen and have since had to get a replacement). Ended up gettin rid of the game please dont waste the money on this game. I've read the other reviews and it looks like it might be better getting this on the Wii.
Great game for ages 12 and up January 9, 2009
I bought this game for myself but thought it would be okay for my two children to play, ages 7 & 6. I love the game although there are many steps, controls, and actions, etc to remember. It's really not age appropriate for younger children under 12 because of this reason. Any adult or older child would have fun playing it though. There are many different modes to play it in and the game is very challenging. You use all the buttons and your stylus for the game, sometimes separately and sometimes together. I'd recommend it to anyone who is a Mario or Sonic fan or anyone looking for a game that has a few challenges.
