Trivia

The loading screen that appears when a game is being downloaded.
  • 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. This was reused in the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
  • The game Electroplankton: Beatnes has the invincibility theme as one of the background tunes to choose from, complete with Mario sound effects.
