Review Electroplankton Varvoice (DSiWare)
Repeat ad nauseum.
Electroplankton is a group of unique sound-manipulation applications all bundled together as one DS title.

Electroplankton Varvoice News

About The Game
Varvoice plankton memorize the sound of human speech and repeat it over and over.

By resonating the vibration with their water-droplet-shaped body, the plankton produce sounds that closely resemble the human voice. The body can expand and contract at will. By changing shape, they can easily manipulate the sound of the voice. Words that the Varvoice memorize and play back in reverse have a particularly strange ring to them. Researchers refer to this phenomenon as Varvoice inversion.
