Thanks Jen. My mum is now very, very addicted to New Super Mario Bros. Can't play it to save her life (and gets frustrated at it because it's rated as a 3+ game), but still addicted. Dr. Wotshisname is going to be somewhat annoyed if she ever gets around to going back to some Brain Training (she'd played it every day, almost without fail, until Christmas Day).

Glad she's happy with them

Tell her not to worry about being frustrated by Mario, it's got some tricky bits in it that have annoyed me enough times but it's still fun

Having said that, I did get annoyed at my cousin's Scooby Doo game Boxing Day because it kept not doing what I wanted it to do

She's doing all the minigames and not paying much attention to the proper game yet. Having played Brain Training since getting the thing she hasn't really 'got' using the buttons yet. She got even more frustrated after giving it to Dad for the first time and getting knocked straight off the high score in one of the minigames.

The minigames are great fun

I got really hooked on the one where you have to spot the face in an increasingly larger crowd of Marios.
It's all a matter of practice so I'm sure she'll get the hang of everything soon enough

my mum played my DS for the first time ever this christmas and she's normally very much against getting involved with my consoles but she got well into Brain training!
