Nintendo ds longplay 038 yakuman ds
Yakuman DS(役満DS) is a mahjong video game for the Nintendo DS produced by Nintendo, a successor to their 1989 Game Boy game Yakuman. It features the modern Japanese mahjong rules (with riichi and dora) and various characters from the Mario video-game series.
The original version was released in Japan in March 2005 by Nintendo. In September of the following year they re-released the game with an online mode and the revised title Yakuman DS with Wi-Fi Support(Wi-Fi対応役満DS,Wi-Fi Taiō Yakuman DS). Both versions were released only in Japan and with predominantly Japanese text.
In Japanese mahjong the term yakuman can refer both to the rare high-scoring limit hands and to the largest score limit that can be applied to a winning hand under Japanese mahjong scoring rules.

Play Modes
Free Play mode- In Free Play mode the player can freely choose opponents, rules and options.
Challenge mode- Win by fulfilling a given set of conditions with a given set of opponents. Initially easy, normal and hard "courses" are available. Completing these unlocks characters and an expert course.
Ranking mode- The character chosen starts at rank 20. He/she plays against the other characters to ascend and possibly become rank 1 (the top 3 opponents are Petey Piranha, Bowser, and Toadsworth in ascending order). Note that the ranking system works by winning points from beating other players; thus the top opponents do not need to be unlocked in order to ascend above them.
Local multiplayer- A game for multiple players (up to 4), all within range of the DS wireless radio.
Online multiplayer (2006 edition only) - Like online multiplayer for other DS games, with the same Friend Code system. Voice chat is available.
