Six Flags Fun Park (Nintendo DS): What Mr. Mayor Wants

In the 2008 Nintendo DS game Six Flags Fun Park (developed by Brash Entertainment / 7 Studios), Mr. Mayor tasks the player with revitalizing a rundown Six Flags park to attract tourists and boost the local economy.

Core Objectives

• Build Rides & Attractions: Roller coasters, thrill rides, family rides, water rides — unlocked via minigames.
• Complete Minigames: 40+ Wii-style minigames (motion controls on DS touchscreen) — ring toss, whack-a-mole, shooting galleries, rhythm games — to earn "Thrill Points" (currency).
• Meet Visitor Demands: Guests have thought bubbles (hunger, thirst, restroom, specific ride types). Satisfy them to increase park rating.
• Customize Park: Place paths, scenery, shops, restaurants, benches, lamps.
• Unlock Areas: Expand into themed zones (Looney Tunes, DC Super Heroes, etc.).
• Achieve "Mayor's Goals": Specific targets (e.g., "Build 3 coasters," "Reach 5-star rating," "Earn 50,000 Thrill Points").

4. Watch guests arrive → Manage needs.
5. Park rating rises → Unlock next zone / Mr. Mayor gives next mission.

Reception Note

Critically panned (Metacritic ~45/100) for repetitive minigames, poor controls, shallow management. But for kids/DS completists, it's a light Tycoon-lite with Six Flags IP.
