Pretty cool! I love the 3DS UI.
I think you should separate the objects that i've marked on another layer and use a zindex higher than the carousel, that will prevent it to fade and you can use another transition styles to create new effects, like i did on swineapple and stranger stuff.

@Chicago32 also you should brush up on the specs required for certain systems. No way the 3ds will ever be run on a pi.
