So I logged onto my old DSi a couple minutes ago to DL the free Four Swords game, and I noticed I still have 800 points to spend. What should I get?
I have Shantae and the Mario vs. DK game, and that's it.

Cave Story and both Dragon's Lair games. That is all.

They put Dragon's Lair on DSiWare? Really? What's the compression like?

It's not bad at all. There are some times when the "flash" telling you which direction to go doesn't appear, but really, do you need that anymore? Hell no you don't. Unless you're a girl. You aren't a girl are you?!

Aside from Josh's suggestions, you should also download X-Scape, the sequel to that Japan-only Game Boy that relatively few people ever heard of.

I will second X-Scape and Cave Story (thirded?).
I also like:
Snapdots, the Nintendo puzzle game. It's like Picross, but you add/subtract blocks by firing them from the edges of the screen, around obstacles. (500 points)
3D Mahjong It's Shanghai/Mahjong Solitaire. I've probably spent the most time with this game.  (500 points)

I ended up getting Dark Void Zero, which was 500 points, and then a 200 point shmup called Dark Spirits. I wanted to get Cave Story, but it was 1000 and I only had 800. I considered one of the Don Bluth games, but I already have them for Wii. So now I have a 100 points, and I can only buy points in set increments of 500 and 1000. Meanwhile games cost 200, 500, 800, or 1000.
I have to get to zero points, cuz of OCD, so I guess I'm gonna buy 2000 points, then get Cave Story, a 500 point game, and three 200 point games.

I agree, Dr. Mario makes for a great toilet game.

Why did nobody suggest PiCTOBiTS? If you like NES games you'll enjoy it doubly, it's freaking fantastic.
