Sonny with a Chance for DS is inspired by the show within a show called "So Random," a popular sketch comedy show for kids. Sonny Munroe, played by Demi Lovato, is the talented 16-year-old who moves from Wisconsin to Los Angeles to join the cast. The game gives players the opportunity to experience completely random and humorous events with the "So Random" cast, Sonny, Tawni, Nico, Grady and Zora, as they compete in more than 40 mini-games, with two designed exclusively for Nintendo DSi.

Inspired by familiar episodes seen on "Sonny With A Chance," the mini-games include pie throwing, puzzle solving, races, rhythm-based games and other "So Random" themed activities. Successfully completing these mini games puts players in the lead to win the most fan mail. Along the way, players also interact with their show producer Marshall and their rival Chad. They can also run around a game board inspired by locations from the TV show - the "So Random" and "Mackenzie Falls" sets, prop room, cafeteria and more. Additionally, players can customize characters with memorable costumes from the show. Sonny with a Chance will launch in 2010, timed to coincide with the second season premiere of the Disney Channel series.

Sonny with a Chance include access to DGamer, the online community exclusively for Disney gamers on Nintendo DS, allowing them to chat with other players and unlock additional items in their game.
