The only source of the energy for more than 10,000 years in a world without electricity, gasoline or nuclear power, Elebits are mischievous and mysterious creatures that have been essential to the growth of mankind. While humans and Elebits have always lived in harmony, a recent lightning storm has caused them to act strangely, abandoning their duties and hiding throughout the world. Players take on the role of a young boy named Kai as he searches to find out what happened to the Elebits and restore them to their original state as friendly partners of humanity.

Using the unique Wii Remote, the player's movements match that on the screen, which includes rotating, throwing, pushing and pulling objects. Through the more than 25 stages in ELEBITS' single player story mode, gamers will encounter more than 15 different types of Elebits, each with their own unique personalities that will require a different strategy to successfully capture.

Elebits also features an in-depth Edit Mode that lets players create their own stages by selecting the exact placement of every item and Elebit in the area. These levels can then be traded in-game with other players using Nintendo's WiiConnect24 service.
