DSiWare

DSiWare (alternatively Nintendo DSiWare)[1] are downloadable games previously found on the Nintendo DSi's digital storefront, and on the Nintendo 3DS' eShop. Just like WiiWare, DSiWare titles could be paid using DSi Points. Seven Super Mario games and two Super Mario applications were released, in addition to one Super Mario-related Nintendo DS retail title digitally re-released for a limited time. The Nintendo DSi Shop was shut down on March 31, 2017,[2] but DSiWare titles continued to be downloadable via the Nintendo 3DS eShop until its discontinuation on March 27, 2023.

Trivia[edit]
- When a customer bought DSiWare, they would see Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad with their Super Mario Advance sprites throwing small blue balls into a box, slowly filling it with blue. When the box was completely filled with blue, it would turn on its side and look like a present before getting transported to the DSi Menu. Unlike WiiWare and Virtual Console for the Wii, the buyer needs to open the "present" first before playing directly, which was reused in the 3DS eShop.
- The game Electroplankton Beatnes has the Super Mario Bros. invincibility theme as one of the background tunes to choose from, complete with other sound effects from the game.
