Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use the D-pad/Control Pad to move and perform Sense Move (see Special Actions).
  2. 2
    Press the A button to enter or exit Morph Ball mode.
  3. 3
    Use the 1 button to fire your beam, or hold it to charge the Charge Beam. Releasing the button fires the charged shot. Holding 1 while entering Search View retains the charge. In Morph Ball mode, the 1 button drops bombs or Power Bombs (hold until the Charge Gauge is full, then release). You can also perform a Five-Bomb Drop by holding 1 until the Charge Gauge is full, then morphing. In Morph Ball mode, the 1 button also performs a Morphing Charge Beam (hold until the Charge Gauge is full, then unmorph).
  4. 4
    Press the 2 button to jump. Holding the 2 button down allows for a higher jump. While pressing the D-pad, the 2 button performs a spin-jump. In Morph Ball mode, the 2 button performs a spring jump, which can be bounced by pressing 2 as you land.
  5. 5
    Press the Plus button to display the map screen.
  6. 6
    Press the Home button to display the HOME Menu.
Tips
  • Jumping height is button sensitive; hold down the 2 button for a higher jump.
  • You can retain a Charge Beam shot by holding 1 and entering Search View.
