All the well-known characters of the series will appear in a typical, humorous story created especially for the game: the magician Zebedee, the shaggy dog Dougal, Florence the adorable girl, Ermintrude, the pink cow with red spots, and many more. On Friendship Day, Zebedee promises Dougal a valuable gift if he is able to help everyone in the village. The world of the “ The Magic Roundabout ” is brought to life in a number of mini-games and bonus missions with lovingly designed graphics. The game makes creative use of the different platforms' unique controls: for example, players control the flight of a paper plane by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS, or uncover hidden objects by " shaking " the mouse cursor on the PC, or the Wii Remote in the Wii version.
