Welcome to Battle Mode! I'm Ciela, and it's my job to tell you all about how to play this game! In this game, players take turns playing as Link...
And as three big, evil Phantoms! Players battle it out for the most points.
First, touch to the left to move left. To stop this tutorial, press START anytime.
Not there! Sheesh. Try tapping the △.
Right! Just like that, you can move by touching the direction you want to go! OK, next I'm going to explain the rules!
Run up and tap one of the △s. Any one is fine. Just tap it!
The △ that you're holding is called a Force Gem. You can earn points by carrying these back to your base! Because you are on the red team, your base is the one with the red floor. It appears on the map on the top screen as well, so take a look! When you're holding a △, you will be able to see where Phantoms are.
C'mon, let's try taking a △ to your base!
Tap your own red base to put down the △フォース and keep going!
The area that you are standing on is called a safe zone! Only Link can enter safe zones. Magic keeps the Phantoms out of them! Phantoms can't see Link when he's in a safe zone, so you can trick them. And remember, if a red or blue △ is placed on a safe zone, it will turn yellow. Next, I'll explain the top screen!
Tap the red floor to place the △. Once you place it, move on!
If you drop the △フォース on the red floor, it'll turn red and you'll earn points. But if you drop it on the blue floor, your enemy will earn points. So don't do it! The △フォースs come in small, medium, and large sizes. Bigger ones are heavier but worth more points. Run along to the next topic!
Look at the top screen! Do you see the hourglass and some numbers? That's your time limit. If time runs out, you'll switch sides. Then it's your turn to be the Phantoms. You'll take turns like this. Once each player has had three turns, the game ends. Whoever has the most points, wins! Next, I'll explain the Phantoms.
Draw lines on the map to set the path the Phantoms will walk. Touch any Phantom on the lower screen and draw lines to make one move. Try drawing a line to the right to make a Phantom move to the right!
You did it! During a game, move the three evil Phantoms to catch Link. Touch all of the icons and draw lines to make each of them move. Try it! Even after drawing a line, you can tap a Phantom and redraw a line. Press the L and R Buttons to change the camera view. Once you're done, move one of the Phantoms so that it will catch Link.
OK, next I'm going to show you how to catch that wily Link! Move the Phantom that is moving right farther that way, toward Link. If it gets close to Link, it will attack! If it hits Link, you'll switch sides.
Last, I'm going to tell you all you need to know about helpful items. Shortly after a game is started, helpful items will appear on the screen.

You've done all 16 Big Plays! See the Postman in the main quest!
You can see the Phantoms when you are holding a △. Use this advantage!
Don't carry big △s around! It's faster to throw them as you go.
The higher your score, the stronger Link becomes! He'll carry big △s with ease!
Link won't appear on your foe's map when he is in a safe zone.
Complete Big Plays to add to your Battle Points!
Players who use items well have a big advantage!
Complete five or more Big Plays at once to earn a Combo Bonus.
Put a △ that is your foe's color in a safe zone to make it yellow!
You can draw paths for Phantoms from the start of the starting count.
Up: Yay! Left/Right: Whoa! Down: Boo!
Press the L or R Button to swap between the Phantoms on the top screen!
One follows Link, one blocks Link's path, one predicts Link's movements.
Beat someone with more Battle Points to earn more Battle Points!
You're better off getting lots of small △s instead of one big △!
One way to attack your foe is to break all of his helpful items!
If you collect all of the Force Gems in one place...
Force Gem Point Values: Big: 15 points. Medium: 5 points. Small: 1 point.
Place Phantoms close to the △s to protect them from Link!
