There are two (currently) Japan-only Mario DSiWare downloads that aren't mentioned. However, they don't really seem to be games, they look more like applications to me, so I don't know how to handle them. They are the following:
*''Nintendo DSi Dentaku: Famicom Mario Type'' &ndash; A ''Super Mario Bros.''-themed calculator (dentaku means calculator). ([http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsiware/calculator/index.html official site] - [http://www.gamekult.com/images/J000095041/ screenshots])
*''Nintendo DSi Tokei: Famicom Mario Type'' &ndash; This time it's a clock (tokei), ''Super Mario Bros.''-themed again. ([http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsiware/clock/index.html official site] - [http://www.gamekult.com/images/J000095595/ screenshots])
What do you think to do with those? I'm sure they have to be covered in some way, but in which way? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 15:29, 15 May 2009 (EDT)

There is already an article on ''[[Mario Family]]'', which isn't really a game, either. There are bits of info on the DSiWare applications on IGN: [http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/957/957227p1.html Calculator], [http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/965/965140p1.html Clock]. Would anybody have something against articles on those "games"? Otherwise, I would create stubs for them. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 12:13, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

-:The "games" have been added by another user in the list, and no one has complained, so it might be okay. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 09:42, 2 June 2009 (EDT)
-== Game & Watch ==
-As confirmed [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsiware/game_and_watch/index.html here], Game & Watch games will be released for DSiWare in Japan. I added the two ''Mario'' series games ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' and ''Mario's Cement Factory'' in the list, but now also the other games have been added. The one and only reason that there are articles on those is that they are included in the ''Mario'' themed ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series. They are not an actual part of the ''Mario'' series, so I'm not sure if they should be really in the "List of '''Mario''' DSiWare games." What do you think? I also noticed that some non-''Mario'' Game & Watch are handled like "real" ''Mario'' games, such as ''[[Ball]]'' (this game was even released prior to any game starring Mario). --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 07:23, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
-:It containts Mario, it stars Mario, it is entirely based around Mario, it's a Mario game. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
-== 3DS Release Dates ==
-We should add a section stating the release dates on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] for these games. Quite a few of them have come out already, so we should get working on it. {{User:SKmarioman/sig}}
