Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training
Puzzle series started in 2005
A series where the brain is exercised by performing simple maths problems and reading aloud, among other things. The game calculates your "brain age" based on your performance in these tasks. By repeatedly performing these exercises on a regular basis, the brain is trained more thoroughly and your brain age gets younger.

Make good use of your boxes so that Qbby can reach the goal. In this game, boxes can now be placed in two different places, so instead of needing to choose one solution, you can now mix and match them. For example, you can now simultaneously bridge a gap and shield yourself from hazards, and there are plenty of new stages that test this new versatility.
