Compete as Donald Duck in 6 mini game events to get the highest score. Events include sack racing against Daisy, boat push also against Daisy, boot throw, pie carrying, pogo bar jump, and pole vaulting over a river.
 
Good Bad
  • Simple controls
  • Events play differently from each other
  • Can practice any event
  • Nice graphics
  • Understanding Japanese not required
  • Limited appeal as a single player game
  • Some events require very precise timing
  • Very repetitive
  • Events like pie carrying are very boring
  • Events like pole vaulting and sack race are frustrating

4 Although interesting for a round or two with friends, you'll quickly become bored and frustrated with the games. Some games are so easy you'll never lose (boat push) while others I've never been able to complete (pole vaulting).
