[edit] Controls

The controls use the Wii Remote for players 1-4 and attachments (e.g. the Nunchuk and Classic Controller) for players 5-8. There are 3 modes for the Wii Remotes; baton (hold upright and tilt left to right), gun (where the player points at the direction they want the ball to go), and easy gun (which is the same as gun except that it also shows where the player is aiming). For the Classic Controller, players use the two analog sticks to move the pointer on the screen. On all of them, you push down on the d-pad to swap balls (down on the analog stick for the Nunchuk).

[edit] Gameplay

[edit] Puzzle

In puzzle mode, the player clears the screen of all the colored balls. When three balls clump togther, they will disappear. This version includes other types of balls, such as support, star, flame, and rainbow balls, which perform different functions. Every 10 level, the player can participate in a shooting round, where he or she may obtain one of the above-named other balls.

[edit] Shooting

In shooting mode, the balls fly in from all sides of the screen. The balls are of four colors and must be shot with the cursor color matching their own.

[edit] Endless

Endless mode is puzzle mode without an end. The player's goal is to stay alive for as long as possible and obtain as many jewels as possible before dying.

[edit] Versus

Versus is the multiplayer mode. Eight players may connect. Players race to get as many jewles as possible before their time is up.
