Inspired by the 2011 Sony Pictures feature film, The Smurfs for Nintendo DS is a collection of mini-games and musical activities. Young gamers can decorate cakes, conduct symphonies, and play dress-up with Smurfette. By completing mini-game challenges, players can earn virtual Smurf figurines, reminiscent of the vinyl miniatures collected around the world since the 1960s. Much of the game is intended to be played with the DS held sideways, like a book. Interactive, read-along stories, based on the plot of movie, are also featured.
