Any good DS games that don't use the shoulder buttons?

Or atleast something with customizeable controls or minor usage of them. Because the shoulder buttons on my sister's and mine don't work from over-pressing or something. It's annoying not being able to backdash in Castlevania, or drift in Mario Kart or something. But I can change the controls in Castlevania and still do battle mode in Mario Kart. So, are there any others out there?

Games that use the L button sometimes are fine though, because the L button mostly works on my sis's DS.

The Professor Layton games, the Ace Attorney games.

Retro Game Challenge, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, NEW Super Mario Brothers (technically), the Dragon Quest games, there's actually quite a few.

Dragon Quest IX does use the shoulder buttons; however they are mostly used for rotating the camera.

Sands of Destruction only uses the shoulder buttons for the same thing if I recall.

In other words...completely optional uses.
