Game Synopsis
«©NCS»
Mash up the famous characters from Dragon Quest
and Super Mario Bros in a Monopoly-like board game
and you have the latest incarnation of Enix's
Itadaki Street. The goal is the accumulation of
property and capital while your protagonist roams
around a board.
At the outset of each game, four players stand on the starting
point. The first player throws the dice and then
moves the allotted spaces as dictated by the die.
Some spaces on the board feature bonuses which
yield gifts while other spaces serve as property
that players can buy. Once you're a property
owner, you can charge fees to anyone who lands on
your space so it's sort of like collecting rent.
The ultimate goal is to accumulate such a surfeit
of property and capital that you overwhelm your
competitors. Mr Toad is present in the first level
along with a Blue Slime and a Platypii but more
characters such as Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong,
Yangus, Bianca, Jessica, and many others appear in
later levels to join in the board game action.

NCS Game Notes
» Upon starting the game, you're prompted to
select a save slot from three that are available.
Next, enter your name in furigana, katakana, or
English. We named our character Slim because
there's only four letters allowed and we were
hoping to input the proper name of "Slime" in
honor of the blue slimes. Afterwards, select a
male or female protagonist and customize the face,
hairstyle, and clothing. Once finished, the boy
character performs a backflip while the girl
character does a twirling dance before the game
begins.
» You're initially greeted by Mr Toad who
accompanies you into the game world. The first
opponent is a blue slime but nine other question
blocks await to reveal more opponents after the
blue slime is defeated. The four players who start
the first game are you, the blue slime, Mr Toad,
and a white duck creature from the Dragon Quest
NDS game. The position that the players take their
turns is decided by a number randomizer. The
highest numbers determine primacy. The first level
looks like a squat version of the number 8.
» The first board starts with trumpets
blaring and a view of a pink and grey colored
castle on the top screen. The touch screen shows
the four participants and an overhead map of the
play board. The various characters throw the dice
and walk their alloted spaces on the playboard
which are marked with numbers, bonus icons, and
other symbols. Your job is to buy properties when
you land on them and build a little empire while
your competitors are all doing the same. Everyone
starts with 1200 credits at the outset. If you
land on a Question Mark, Diamond, Heart, Spade, or
Club, you'll be able to choose a card out of a
screen full of 8x8 them that give a special effect
such as transporting all other characters onto the
space. If you land on the Casino square, you can
play a game of Pachislot or a card game.
» Once you have property, anyone who lands
on it is charged a duty for landing on your spot.
It's not much at first but the property can
developed so that hundreds of credits are exacted
from anyone hapless to fall into your domain.
» There's one level that takes place aboard
a somber galleon and another that's at the Mario
Stadium baseballdiamond. There's also a Mario Kart
stage and a Super Mario Bros stage that's shaped
like an "M" to play upon. A total of 14 stages are
available to enjoy and conquer.
» Multiple gamers may engage in 4-player board
game challenges by way of the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi
opposition mode where online connected players can
get together. If you're local and want to play
against someone nearby who also has the Itadaki
Street DS game, you can connect wirelessly and
play. Finally, if there are three players in the
local vicinity who want to play, they can download
code from your copy of the game and then play a
4-player match.
