About this game
Mechanic Master for the Nintendo DS includes gameplay akin to The Incredible Machine, where players need to drag objects onto the screen to create Rube Goldberg devices (inventions intended to carry out a single purpose in chain reactions) in order to defeat aliens, as well as rescuing humans trapped in cages.
The main storyline involves players constructing various objects to save Earth from an alien invasion.

The game includes 3 gameplay modes to choose from.
In Classic Mode (the game's main mode), players need to complete over 100 levels by using a variety of objects from the Touch Screen such as shifters (to change the flow of gravity), laser pistols to cut thorough several obstacles to progress further and even aerosol cans to blow aliens off the screen.
In Drawing Mode, players are given the opportunity to solve problems similar to the Classic Mode, but this time the items have been set up for you.
Here players need to draw circles (to create portals) and ropes in order to get a machine running.
The Level Editor allows players to create their own levels, as well as sharing them with other fellow players using Multi Card Play.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Mechanic Master for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mechanic Master to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2008.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
