Part 1
Embark on your journey in Another Crab's Treasure! This guide covers the essentials to get you started, from basic controls to your first steps in the vibrant world.
Alright, welcome to the wild and wonderful world of Another Crab's Treasure! Think of me as your buddy who's already been through the wringer and is here to make sure you don't get too lost or frustrated. This first part is all about getting your bearings, understanding the basics, and setting you up for success. We'll cover how to move, interact, and what your immediate goals are. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it looks, and we'll take it one step at a time.
What's the Goal Here?
Basically, you're a little crab in a big, messy world, and you need to find your way. Your main objective is to gather 'Shells' – these are your currency and your armor. You'll be exploring different areas, fighting off other creatures (some friendly, some less so), and generally trying to survive and thrive. Think of it as a treasure hunt where the treasure is anything you can stick on your back for protection or style!
Your First Steps: Movement and Interaction
When you first get control, take a moment to just move around. Get a feel for how your crab scuttles. You'll be using the left stick to move and the right stick to look around. This is super important for spotting enemies, finding items, and generally not walking into danger. You'll also have a button for attacking – usually a quick jab or swipe. Don't be afraid to experiment with this early on; you'll need to learn your basic attack patterns.
Finding Your First Shell
The most crucial thing you'll do early on is find your first 'Shell'. This isn't just any old trash; it's your primary defense. Different shells offer different stats and abilities. You might find a rusty old can, a broken bottle, or maybe even a fancy teacup. Each one will change how you look and how you defend. Keep an eye out for these – they're usually scattered around the starting area. Pick up anything you can!
The First Encounter: Don't Panic!
You'll likely run into some small, weak enemies pretty quickly. They might look a bit intimidating at first, but remember, you're new, and so are they! Use your basic attack and dodge. Dodging is key – learn the timing. Most of these early critters have predictable patterns. Hit them a few times, dodge their counter-attack, and repeat. Don't get greedy; it's better to play it safe and chip away at their health.
- Explore Everything: Seriously, poke around every corner. You never know what useful item or hidden path you might find.
- Conserve Your Health: You don't have a lot of it early on. Try to avoid taking unnecessary hits.
- Experiment with Shells: Don't just stick with the first shell you find. Try out different ones to see what suits your playstyle.
- Talk to Everyone: NPCs might give you hints, quests, or just some funny dialogue. It's worth interacting with them.
We're just getting started, but by mastering these basics, you'll be well on your way to tackling bigger challenges. Keep this up, and you'll be a shell-swapping, crab-fighting pro in no time!
Part 2
Discover how to unlock the Tmail service and Treasure Hunting Club in Another Crab's Treasure. Learn about scanning for networks and earning rewards.
After obtaining Carpenter Pants as a swept treasure and completing a hunt with no new results, Sweeper will reveal the Tmail service. This service is available through the Nintendo Wi-Fi network and requires an open WEP network or a WEP network with a known key.
You will then receive instructions on how to join the online Treasure Hunting Club (www.clubtreasureworld.com). This website allows you to exchange in-game treasures for other treasures.
The next step involves scanning for networks. Simply turn on the game, put it in scan mode, and move around the world. Every new network encountered will be logged. At the end of a scan session, you will receive either a piece of treasure or stardust, which can be used to purchase treasure from a man who needs to refill his fuel tank.
(SSTAR0) SHOOTING STARS
The first shooting star is awarded when you begin scanning, regardless of nearby Wi-Fi points. Shooting Stars are granted based on three criteria: Time, Day, and Moon Phase. The following tables detail the appearance of Shooting Stars. A simple method to obtain these is to leave your DS in scan mode for a week.
Awards are given on the following basis:
- Hourly

GALAXIES (GALA00)
The game's scanning world is divided into Galaxies, Clusters, and Constellations. Since smaller sections contain items from larger ones, only Galaxies are listed here as the official ticklist of items to acquire. These items can be obtained through scanning or by purchasing them with stardust. Some items must be bought, as they are never found by scanning, likely to encourage selling stardust to the man to help him leave.
Each Galaxy is followed by its associated item ticklist. Use this master ticklist to track your progress.
