'''''Yakuman DS'''''<ref>"''In the Japanese mah-jongg game Yakuman DS, Toadsworth appears as a competitive opponent.''" &mdash; [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Toadsworth|Toadsworth trophy description]], ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''</ref> (役満ＤＳ) is a {{wp|riichi mahjong}} game for the [[Nintendo DS]] produced by [[Nintendo]] and released in 2005. It features various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters. In 2006, Nintendo re-released the game with an added online mode, under the name of '''''Wi-Fi Taiō Yakuman DS''''' (Wi-Fi対応 役満ＤＳ). The game is named after the rare winning hands called ''yakuman'' (役満) that are worth 32000 points (48000 if east/dealer).
'''''Yakuman DS''''' is a mahjong game for the [[Nintendo DS]] produced by [[Nintendo]]. ''Yakuman DS'' is based on the Chinese game [[wikipedia:Mahjong|Mahjong]], featuring various ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' characters. The game was released in 2005 by Nintendo. One year later, Nintendo released the game again with an online mode, with the name of '''''Wi-Fi Taiō Yakuman DS'''''. Neither version of the game was released outside Japan.

===The Opponents===
[[File:Opponent Selection Screen - Yakuman DS.png|frame|The opponents selection screen.]]
[[File:Opponent Selection Screen - Yakuman DS.png|frame|The opponents selection screen.]]
The difficulty of each opponent is shown in the game with [[Super Star|Star]]s; the more Stars that an opponent has, the more challenging they are to face as an opponent. Every opponent has different stats of Attack (effort on winning the hand), Luck, Skill (good strategy), Speed (speed on declaring ron (ロン) or tsumo (ツモ), and Defense (effort on preventing others to win). They all have different AI, and their style of play is described briefly behind the character's picture in the upper screen (while in the character selection screen). Due to ''Yakuman DS'' only releasing in Japanese, the descriptions are roughly translated to English here. The opponents are:
*[[Goomba]]: The easiest opponent, but may win sometimes.
====Default====
*[[Princess Daisy]]: Normal opponent; she never melds her tiles, unless if it is a "closed kan".
<gallery>
*[[Shy Guy]]: An easy opponent; he melds his tiles frequently.
GoombaYDS.png|[[Goomba]] [[File:Star SM64DS.png]] <br> Does not understand mahjong very well, but he may sometimes win the game.
*[[Koopa Troopa]]: An easy opponent; he melds his tiles frequently, unaware of getting a yakuless hand.
DaisyYDSMug.png|[[Princess Daisy]] [[File:Star SM64DS.png]][[File:Star SM64DS.png]][[File:Star SM64DS.png]] <br> She will try to use riichi to add an extra yaku and also do a closed tsumo. She will always look for a win.
*[[Boo]]: Normal opponent; he may win with a concealed or melded hand.
