Reception

The DS and PC versions received "mixed" reviews, while the Wii version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Common criticisms include the short game play for the $40 price point (Wii version). In Japan, where the Wii version was ported for release on March 27, 2008, Famitsu gave it a score of 22 out of 40.

X-Play gave praise to the graphics and the Wii version's animation, although giving criticism for the game having only six mini games, and found the game to be frustrating due to the game having difficulty reading the movements of the Wii Remote. GamePro called the DS version "a fun rental. But if you decide to shell out full price for a collection of repetitive mini-games, you need a lesson in spending, my son."
