Sonny with a Chance: So Random! is a Nintendo DS game based on the show Sonny with a Chance
From a press release of the game:
Disney Channel's series Sonny with a Chance has come to the Nintendo DS. Titled Sonny with a Chance: So Random, the title “allows players to experience random and humorous events inspired” by the series— so don't expect any grand, over-arching narrative.
Choose your favourite character from the series— Sonny, Tawni, Nico, Grady, or Zora— who becomes your player in a digital board game. Along the board, your aim is to get the most fan mail, by playing mini-games, experiencing random events, and “wacky power-ups”. The games are inspired by episodes of the series, and power-ups include whip cream pies, party tickets, and banana peels.
So Random takes you through five different boards, based on locations at the So Random and Mackenzie Falls sets, backstage areas, and the Prop House. You can even customize your character with costumes from the series.
Two of the 40 mini-games are only available if you play on a Nintendo DSi, though the game is compatible with the normal DS.
Gameplay[]
You and three other characters from So Random advance through 5 different boards, trying to collect the most fanmail. You begin with either choosing to be Tawni or Sonny, but as you advance through the game you can unlock Grady, Nico, and then Zora.
There are 40 mini-games you can play during each board game level, and most of them are references to older episodes. Along the way, you can collect power-ups to help aid you in the quest to get the most fanmail.
At the beginning of each level, there are a set of challenges presented to you.(Ex. Get 90 fanmail, complete a mission, etc.) The more challenges you finish, the more things you unlock in the game's store. The game's store contains costumes for your characters, such as their prom outfits from Promises, Prom-misses, or their costumes from previous sketches. You can also unlock the ability to download mini-games to play with your friends.
You can also meet and receive missions from Marshall and Chad during gameplay. Chad and Marshall also sometimes appear in mini-games, as does the dog Gassie.
This game has almost all of the sketches in season 1 and none in season 2.
