This Nintendo land game is from yoshi's adventures where you ride in a yoshi kart which also are in Mario chase In this game you have to draw a line on the gamepad to the door collecting all the fruit along the way and avoiding all obstacles. But you only have so much movement between fruit or you run out of energy and it's game over. There are special doors that take you a X amount of stages forward and special power up to, make sure to get them all! The only things you see on the gamepad are doors and the yoshi kart, everything else is shown on the gamepad. Challenge accepted!

Octopus Dance

This is one of Nintendo lands games that is about copying the dancers moves exactly, earning you a "perfect" or a "good". You can either look at the game pad or the TV screen but the dancer will sometimes reverence the way your facing. Additionally a squid will come down and spay ink on one of the screens. This game is in in a 3/4 orientation meaning every "round" is 3 moves in a row each "round" gets faster.

Donkey Kong's Crash Course

Takamaru's Ninja Castle

Captain Falcon's Twister Race

This fast paced game is based off Nintendo's F-Zero staring Captain Falcon. You hold the WiiU game pad vertically and tilt left or right to turn down the track you also can tap and hold or tap the screen to slow down. But be warned each stage is time if you don't get to the checkered link before time is up its game over, it is a race after all. there are two other ways to game over hitting a red spiked thing which are every where at the last four stages or flying off the track by hitting a rainbow ramp at an angle even a small one... There are 12 stages in all each having its own challenge. Good luck racing!
