Trivia
- When the customer buys DSiWare, he or she will see Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad (from Super Mario Advance) throwing little blue balls into a box. They will see the box start to be filled with blue. When the box is completely blue filled, it'll turn on its side and look like a present. Then it gets transported to the DSi Menu. Unlike WiiWare and Virtual Console for the Wii, the buyer needs to open the "present" first before playing directly.
