Help Dora and Boots get out of Wizzle World and make it to Dora's birthday party on time. In the Wii version, you hold the Wii controller like handlebars to jump, climb, swing through a forest and slide down a mountain. In the DS version, you trace, tap, shout and scribble your way through challenges, such as riding a unicorn over the rainbow, floating in a magic bubble across Sea Snake Lake and traveling through the Dancing Forest. Note that the ratings apply to the Wii version. A parent helper feature makes it possible to help if needed. Games include Card Match (concentration), Balloon Pop (counting), and Dress Up (matching).
