DIRECTION PAD (D-PAD)
This is the Direction Pad. I like to call it the D-Pad. Use this pad to control my
movement. If you want to make me move left, you need to press Left, the left side
of the D-Pad. If you want to make me move right, you need to press Right, the
right side of the D-Pad.
You can also use the Direction Pad (D-Pad) to edit text. Press Up and Down to
scroll through letters, numbers, and symbols. Left and Right are used to move
the cursor position. The cursor position is the place where the letter, number or
symbol you choose will be placed.
ACTION
Whew! This button does a lot. You’ll have to press this button to choose an item,
activity, or game. You’ll also use this button to enter your answers to questions or
problems. Some of the games that take place during our adventure use the Action
button in different ways. Depending on the activity or game you’re playing, this button
can make me jump, run, or stop. Cool, huh?
CANCEL
This is a great button! If you think you’ve gone to the wrong place and you need
to go back, press this button. Press this button if you need to change your answer
to a question. This button is used in different activities. If it has a special use in
an activity, its use will be explained in the activity and game directions shown later
in this book.
MENU
This button takes you to the menu screen while playing in Adventure mode. In Activity
mode, pressing it takes you to the Activity menu.
