Nothing to do with Tetris, but great nonetheless.

The best rally racing game ever made. No question.

A great action puzzler with slightly obtuse mechanics and a penchant for scratching up your DS touch screen. Sadly you could do better by wildly swiping at the screen than in considered play.

Kuru Kuru Kururin sums up what I think is so great about the sort of games Nintendo published in the days of GBA, DS and Wii. It’s an unorthodox action/puzzle/maze game made by a third party best known for their scrolling shoot ’em ups. No other company would have the balls to release a game like this, never mind as part of a console launch line-up.
Fun fact: it was prototyped as an arcade game.
The sequel, Kururin Paradise, perfects the concept.

Distinctly average game, with nice enough graphics.
I used to live for time on the bus to play this amazing game.
2008
Best Mario Kart.
2006
One of the Wii's many hidden gems.
2007
Peak Nintendo User Interface Design.
2010
A blast multi-player and Derby Dash goes down as one of the all-time greats.

Unfairly criticised because of a bad Nintendo stage presentation.
Takes a lot of skill to be good as this game and unlock everything.
Check out "perfect plays" on YouTube and read the comments to see how much this game means to a lot of people.

The Wii version is totally different to the other platforms so I feel should be listed separately. It's a very good game.
The Xbox 360 version runs 60fps and is also a great game.
Play both!

Peak Monkey Ball. Wii version is better than the Switch remake.

Not as good as the PlayStation version.
2009
Dull.
