The IconBob levels (which are exclusive to this version) are done using the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad. The gameplay on the Nintendo 3DS version is almost identical to the Wii version, but instead of the uDraw Tablet (since the Nintendo 3DS isn't compatible with it), the touch screen is used. The game requires the use of the now-discontinued uDraw GameTablet by THQ. Each nanogame has a short time limit of less than 10 or 5 seconds, depending on the nanogame, and players would have to rely on quick thinking and reflexes to finish each nanogame. Similar to WarioWare games, players get to play mini-games, dubbed Nanogames, in quick succession in order to proceed.
