About
Carnival Games (known in Europe and Australia as Carnival Funfair Games) is a party video game for Wii, Nintendo DS and iPhone, with a re-release for Nintendo Switch. It was the last game published by Global Star Software, before it was absorbed into Take-Two Interactive (and what is now 2K).
Despite mixed reviews by most gaming websites and critics, the game was a commercial success. The Wii and DS versions of the game sold over six million units as of June 2010, which, according to the NPD Group, was the third best-selling third-party game on the Wii.

Gameplay
The game consists of various mini-games with a funfair theme, such as Alley Bowling, Lucky Cups, Nerves of Steel, Hoops, Day at the Races, and Buckets Of Fun. These are set up through five different themed areas of the carnival. The player can even win virtual prizes depending on their score. There are many easter eggs hidden as well.
The player can also play the multiplayer mode with up to four players by selecting a booth. Games includes ka-pow and hole in 1.
Reception
The Wii version received "mixed" reviews, while the DS version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
The former version received a "Double Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 600,000 units in the UK.
