How To Play

Rule 1

• "Howdy! It's me, Yoshi!!"
• "I'm here to show you how to play this game. I've got lots to show, so pay attention."
• "This is the cursor! To the right, or left. From top, to bottom. It can move freely!"
• "You can use either the A or B Button. This is how you can arrange the panels!"
• "If you want, you can drop them, just like this!"
• "Align three or more like panels vertically or horizontally, and they will disappear!!"
• "You can make more disappear. Keep going, and don't miss any. Ah, there's one more!"
• "You can even raise the whole stack by pressing either the L or R Button."
• "But don't hit the top or the Game is Over!!"
• "Now it's time to teach you about Combos and Chains!"
• "It's a little harder to clear this way, so you're rewarded with a higher score!"
• "A Combo is when you clear many panels simultaneously. Watch this!"
• "Clear 4... Clear 5... Clear 6... And... even Clear 10!!"
• "Now, on to Chains! First a x2 Chain! Or maybe a x3 Chain!!"
• "Well, that's it for this lesson!"
• "In the next lesson, I'll teach you some advanced techniques! See ya!"

Rule 2

• "Welcome back! I've been waiting for you."
• "This lesson is a bit more difficult, so if you don't mind... Pay attention!"
• "Let's cover Chains. Really, they're pretty easy, and all the kids are doing them."
• "First, place these... and most importantly, if you move this panel, you can form a Chain!"
• "Hurry! Hurry! See! I did it[sic] I got a x2 Chain!"
• "I'll do it again, a bit slower though... First, you place one, then..."
• "Slide this one over. A x2 Chain!"
• "Next, this one... It's a x3 Chain!"
• "You can clear lots of panels forming Chains this way!"
• "Forming Chains like this are called Skill Chains."
• "This is a very important technique. So, keep practicing, and it'll come easy!"
• "OOPS! I forgot to tell you a little something!"
• "When you form Chains the sound the panels make when they disappear changes!"
• "And... should you form a Super Chain, a lovely fanfare will sound!!"
• "Hmm... Let's see... Did I tell you about "Stop"?"
• "When you do a Chain or Combo, the stack will stop rising for a short time."
• "Yes! 4 Cleared! While the fireworks go off, keep clearing panels. Don't hesitate!"
• "When you are in big trouble, they'll stop a little longer."
• "At that time, a "Stop" mark will appear."
• "Then, you'll hear someone shout quite loudly, "Stop!", and the stack will stop."
• "Oh no, it looks like the Game will be Over!! Whew... It's OK now..."
• "In the next lesson, I'll introduce you to the VS. mode! I just can't wait!"

Vs. Rule 1

• "I've been waiting for you! I'm so glad you came to see me again."
• "This time, the lesson is about the VS. mode."
• "In VS. your goal is simple. Make your opponent lose the game."
• "As you play, the [!] panel will appear."
• "Clear the [!] panel and you'll attack your opponent."
• "See! A nice garbage block will drop onto your buddy!"
• "You can also attack by using Combos and Chains!"
• "This example shows what happens when you Clear 4!"
• "Clear 5! Clear 6!! Clear 10!!!"
• "The more cleared at once, the more severe your attack!"
• "Now... let's see how Chain attacks work."
• "x2 Chain! x3 Chain!! x4 Chain!!!"
• "Progressive Chains will create thicker garbage blocks."
• "To clear the garbage blocks, you need to..."
• "Oh, I guess I'll wait 'til the next lesson to teach you that. Bye!"

Vs. Rule 2

• "This time, we'll learn how to clear garbage blocks!"
• "Uh, oh!! My opponent just sent me a present!"
• "At a time like this, where you clear panels is important."
• "If the panels are touching the garbage block, then..."
• "It'll transform into panels! Quickly, continue to clear them!"
• "Incoming!!! Different colors are cleared the same way!"
• "If like colored garbage blocks are touching..."
• "They will all be transformed at one time!"
• "But, any different colored blocks won't transform!"
• "You will need to transform each individually."
• "When dealing with thick garbage blocks..."
• "Only the bottom line will transform."
• "Each layer must be transformed seperately[sic]."
• "It's kind of hard though!"
• "That's it! Lesson's over!! School's out!!!! Now go play!!!!!"
• "If my explanations were too fast to understand..."
• "Choose "HOW TO PLAY" on the "SELECT" screen again!"
• "Well... see you again! Bye bye!"
