Gameplay[]
Wii[]
Unlike the Carnival Games, Players take place in a carnival that has a circus tent. First, they must design their avatar to be a ringmaster of the show. Later, they can play the mini-games in the show to earn Barnum Bucks and unlock the two new tours, such as Barnums FUNundrum or ZING! ZANG ZOOM!. They can use Barnum Bucks to spend on prizes. However, you can't spend Barnum Bucks all the time, so you must spend them carefully.
Nintendo DS[]
Similar to the Wii version, players select and design an elephant for the show. There is no show elephant, like Baby Barrack or any other elephant. The elephant must eat well, stay clean and healthy and get daily exercise. Before the elephant is about to go to the show, it must practice, play and show off its behavior. You can dress up your elephant to let it feel beautiful, for example, you can let it wear any costume. The elephant must be clean by soaping and scrubbing, also hosing. You must keep his or her pearly whites clean, smooth and its eyelashes straightened. Players must also use their stylus to remove the rocks and file its toenails.
