About

Pokémon Dash is a 2004 racing game developed by Ambrella for the Nintendo DS. Players control Pikachu in competitive races against other Pokémon, navigating courses by swiping the DS touch screen to steer and regulate speed. The game makes use of varied terrain, with Pikachu able to traverse bodies of water by riding on Lapras and cross aerial sections via hot-air balloon. The title was among the early DS releases designed to showcase the system's touch screen functionality, centering its core mechanics entirely around stylus input rather than traditional button controls.
