Anyone knows this puzzle minigame for DSi

Question

I played this game a few times at a friend and I want it myself, but I do not know the name. Perhaps any of you can identify this game:

It was a 3d puzzle minigame for the DSi (possibly more platforms, but I don't know). The game itself took place on a 2d "chessboard". There were different "levels", which mostly consisted of a different themed background and a different size of grid (7x7, 20x20).

As a player or computer you control a "team". The team had a color, red, green, blue or yellow. Each team consisted of 1-4 characters. For each character you could choose out of a few characters, each with different properties and strength/weaknesses.

The gameplay went like this. Each "turn" or "round" (it was a turn-based game) you could choose one action for each of your characters. One action consisted of "do nothing", "move" or "move and do ability".

There were various gamemodes, at least two:

Derby - Each team spawns at a side of the map, the last team to survive wins. If a certain amount of rounds passed the game ended and the strongest surviving team wins (this was calculated on some sort of score).

??? - This was 2v2. Each team spawned on one side of the map. The first team to eliminate the other team or reach the opposite team's spawn point wins.

Each character had 3 abilities, and 1-3 hearts of life. There were at least 5 (maybe one more) characters in the game:

• A healer. This character looked like a blob of slime. It had 2 hearts and the abilities "heal - heals one character for 1 heart", "protect - protect characters directly next to me from one heart of physical damage" and "spell lock - prevent other characters from casting spells within ? blocks of me". This character can move 1-2? block each turn.
• A physical sweeper. This character looked like a mushroom with a big hammer. It had 2 hearts and the following abilities: "attack - he sweeps with his hammer and hits 3 positions at once", "counter-attack - if he gets attacked by a physical attack he parries and counter-attacks" and another ability. This character could move 1 block each turn.
• A tank. This character looked like a stone golem. It had 3 hearts and the following abilities: "attack - hit one position for 2 hearts and self for 1", "push - push the character in one position directly adjacent one position away" and "defend - defend itself for one heart of physical damage". This character could move 1 block each turn.
• A special sweeper. This character looked like a bird. It had 2 hearts and the following abilities: "attack - attack 2 position in front of the character with fire for 1 heart of special damage", "spell lock - see healer" and "dodge - avoid one attack completely". This character could move one block every turn.
• A ninja. This character looked like a bat and had 1 heart. It had the abilities "attack - attack adjacent position for 1 heart of physical damage", "special attack - attack diagonal position for 1 heart of special damage" and "power up - power up one character directly adjacent so that physical attacks of that character do twice the damage".

This is all I could remember, I hope it's enough info to recognize this game. If you need clarification, feel free to ask.
