Paper Airplane Chase, known in PAL territories as Paper Plane, is an action game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DSi’s DSiWare service. It is a spin-off of the WarioWare series, featuring an enhanced version of the minigame of the same name in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!. It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in PAL territories on April 3, 2009 and in North America on April 27, 2009 for 200 DSi Points.
Gameplay
There are three modes – the first is Endless, the original version included in Mega Microgames! which places the player in a randomly generated course, requiring him or her to guide a paper airplane through it as it descends, attempting to get as far down as possible; Time Attack, which places the player in pre-created tracks, requiring them to get down to a certain point as fast as possible; and Race Mode, a two-player competition that is played on one DSi, with one player using the d-pad and the other using the face buttons. There are a total of eight courses in the game.
Reception
Ryan Zacher of Nintendo Life gave the game a 8/10 score, praising its pickup-and-play form factor and low price point alongside the newly added modes. In contrast, Mark Bozon of IGN gave the game a 5/10 score, criticizing the game for its shallow gameplay and lack of content.
