"Hello, Yoshi!" Are you ready to play? With this free application from the little-kid-friendly My Mario brand, you and your kiddo can play with Yoshi's face and delight in all his various expressions. ■Make Silly Faces Team up with your kiddo to see how silly Yoshi can get when you pull and stretch his face or take turns poking and spinning him around. Tap on the ? Block in the top-left corner of the screen and select an icon to make items—like a Super Mushroom, a Super Star, or pipes—and even enemies appear alongside Yoshi. ■Peekaboo! Invite Yoshi to play peekaboo by tapping on the leftmost icon in the ? Block menu. Boo may even make a guest appearance! ■Built-In Breaks Good night, Yoshi! Yoshi gets tuckered out after playing for a while and will fall fast asleep. At that point no amount of poking can wake him up! This is a great opportunity to take a break and help parents limit their child's screen time. If you want to keep the fun going, you can turn off this feature by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen when the application starts. ■Play Offline There's no need to be connected to the internet to play this application. After you download it, you're good to go! Operation is not guaranteed for all devices that meet the operating conditions. It may not work properly depending on the device's performance and specifications, device-specific application usage conditions, etc. Please be sure to read the Health and Safety information provided in the application settings before you start playing. Settings can be accessed by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen when the application starts to access the menu. ©Nintendo

GG Royale

Features
Read full description

Sixty players drop in. One walks away with the crown. GG Royale is a battle royale built out of mini-games. Every round throws all surviving players into a brand-new game — and when the timer hits zero, the bottom half is eliminated. Survive, and you advance. Fall behind, and you're watching from the menu. 60 -> 30 -> 15 -> 10 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1. Six rounds. No pauses. No second chances. NO QUEUE. EVER. Every lobby fills instantly with AI opponents, so a match starts the second you tap play — no waiting room, no half-empty lobbies, no dead servers at 3am. Plays fully offline, too: on a plane, on the underground, on no signal at all. A DIFFERENT GAME EVERY ROUND You never know what's coming next. The game picks at random from thirteen hand-built mini-games, each with its own physics, controls and feel: • Slide&Fly — carve down hillsides and launch into the sky • Green Gem Glider — thread a fragile plane through impossible gaps • Rune Match — match runes against the clock • Bubble Royale — pop your way up the board • Data Drift — drift through a collapsing datastream • Arcane Override — out-cast the system before it locks you out • Hex Link — chain hexes into combos • Core Unit-X — run, roll and survive the core • Planet RW302 — explore a hostile world • Magma Rush — outrun the rising lava • Hyperlane — a full 3D lane-runner at breakneck speed • Vine Master — swing vine to vine and never touch the ground • GG Racer — hold the racing line and keep your nerve on the turbo Master one and you'll still get wrecked by the next. That's the point. GHOST RIVALS You're never grinding alone. A translucent rival plays right alongside you, driven by a real score — pull ahead and you'll watch them fall behind you; slip up, and they'll glide straight past. Every round is a race you can see. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock operators, skins, emotes and lobby effects. Pull off the win and your operator takes the podium with the emote you picked. Earn coins in every match and spend them on the look you want. COME BACK STRONGER • Daily rewards that escalate across a 7-day streak • Three fresh daily challenges every day — clear all seven days for gems • Per-game mastery: level up each mini-game separately and prove which one is really yours • Practice mode: any game, any time, no elimination, no pressure BUILT FOR QUICK SESSIONS A full match is minutes, not hours. Eliminated? You're back in a new lobby in seconds. It's the game you open in a queue and the game you lose an evening to. Free to play. Play in your language — GG Royale is fully localized. Drop in. Outlast everyone. Take the crown.
