The mighty mustached plumber, Luigi, and Mr Toad have been kidnapped and imprisoned so there's no one else who can do the job. Peach travels with a gold-colored umbrella with blue ruffles called Kasaa which may be used as a walloping weapon as well a wind buffer. When Peach is hopping from platform to platform, she'll get additional lift from the opened umbrella to make the distance. Her legs, after all, aren't as muscular or beefy as Mario's to land the big jumps. When a body of water is encountered, Peach flips the umbrella over and sits on it to sail across the expanse. To bounce away foes, Peach may perform a twirl move <more>

PS2 Mawaza JPN
 PS2 Mawaza - Late Import
   Sony's latest puzzle game features a mobile character who runs around a playfield and creates triangle shapes by linking light lines from post to post. Once the triangle is created, it may be swung by one of the posts to knock into other triangle to blink it from the screen. Three characters may be used:
A lad named Axcel, a lass named Winkle, and a big Panda dubbed D-D who has the words "King of Panda" printed on its prodigious belly. Before the action begins on each stage, the camera may be swiveled around the playfield to get a comprehensive view of the puzzle at hand. Press "O" and the action begins. Axcel does not have to press any buttons when pulling lines out of spherical posts. Just run next to them and wait for one to jiggle and then run to the next post to link lines. The goal is to create triangles between three posts and then knock the triangles into other triangles.
To get a feel for the game, three tutorials are available as follows:

* Tutorial 1 - Character moves and twists triangles by grabbing a post and swinging it against other triangles. The aim of the game is to swing triangles until they contact adjacent triangles upon which time they disappear from the screen. Once completed, mosey on to the exit. <more>
 
 


PSP Brain Trainer Portable JPN
 PSP Brain Trainer Portable - New Import
   The logo of Tokohoku University, Sendai sits on the front of Sega's latest PSP game. In case you're wondering, the logo depicts a brain underneath a samurai helmet. The Brain Trainer software includes brain exercises which are based on the work of Ryuta Kawashima, a professor of neuroscience at Tohoku U. Ryuta Kawashima conducted research which showed that elderly test subjects who suffered from dementia improved dramatically when they were inducted into a regimen of math and reading-out-loud exercises. Ryuta found that these two simple activities helped the communication skills and motor functions of the elderly test subjects. Sensing a sensation, Ryuta Kawashima trademarked his mental exercise program under the name of Learning Therapy and he wrote two books called Nou Kitaeru Otona no Doriru (Drills for adults to train their Brains) with different math exercises and passages to read. The books were a success in Japan and sold more than 2 million copies. Earlier this year, Kawashima's learning program reached the Nintendo DS and now the PSP is a recipient of more brain training courtesy of Ryuta's groundbreaking work. At the outset of the interaction, players enter their name, date of birth, and other personal details. You are then shuffled into a classroom where a guide introduces you to the exercises. Input is entered through the four face buttons. For example, an arithmetic problem appears on the left portion of the screen and the possible answers are shown on the right side of the screen. Press the face button that corresponds to the answer and you're off to the next problem.
