How would you make a broom and dust pan attachment work for the Wii?

That's the question Mario Weiss was faced with when he went to a four-day workshop held by Britta Pukall of Milani Design & Consulting in Zurich. He was the lucky artist to draw both the Nintendo Wii and the brush/pan set. So now, his goal was to combine the two products and somehow make something legitimate that he could defend.

So he went to work on a project that worked with the Wii's "clean, childlike, and [socially] friendly image." The project is one aimed towards an active playstyle, as Weiss triumphs the Wii as a console that not only brings families together, but has the effect of getting kids up and having them move around when they play videogames.

According to Weiss, "I wanted to go a step further and developed a controller clip-on brush set for a new game, Sauberman. The aim of the game is to work through different levels with different game genres, having to clean up messy situations created with usual gaming actions."

So, how would you have designed a brush and pan Wii game? I'm drawing a blank as to what to do here, because all that's popping up in my head are janitor jokes. And none of them are funny, I assure you.
