Storyline[]
There is something unusual happening in New York City! Meet the Wizards of Waverly Place. They are almost average folks with a little something up their sleeves. Play through five exciting episodes as Alex Russo, one of your favourite teenage wizards in training. Cast spells, and join in the mischief and hilarious fun of being a wizard!
Wizards of Waverly Place allows fans on the Nintendo DS to play as their favorite wizard-in-training, Alex Russo --played by rising star Selena Gomez on the show --casting magical spells and participating in mini-games to complete tasks and acquire new magic skills. Players can experience the lives of the Russo kids as they explore locations from the show, including the Waverly Sub Station, the Lair, Tribeca Prep, the Russo loft and many more.
Dodgeball, a tournament game in which the player must dodge balls thrown from opponents at them, and/or catch the ball in mid-air and fling it back, in an attempt to hit them. Each opposing player hit by a ball is then kicked from the game, but in this game, you can be hit several times before losing. Balls can be picked up from the court anywhere they lie, and thrown at opposing players.
Locker slamming, a Simon Says style game, in which you manually close lockers on the bottom screen in a matching order to the lockers slamming closed on the top screen. Sandwich making, in which you are required to place food items on a sub sandwich, and apply condiments in the correct order to win. After each successful sandwich made, you start a new one, and must complete a set number before time runs out.
Flying books, in which winged books are floating on the top screen, with their spines exposed. Each book has a letter on its side, and you must grab books from the air with your stylus and drag them into the correct book slots on the bottom screen to spell the answer to a trivia question. These trivia questions are based on information from seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show.
