This shows your record in all
Versus matches to date.
The more chains you create, the more bearings you send to your opponent.
Bearings can be destroyed by eliminating a group of marbles next
to the bearing.
If you launch a marble at an attack item, you can use it against your
opponent. You can also boost the power of attack items by destroying an
item to set off a chain.
This item causes marble-deflecting pillars to appear on your
opponent’s screen.
This item causes smoke to billow forth from any point you touch
with your stylus.
This causes a marble-engulfing black hole to appear on your
opponent’s screen.
This object warps the trajectory of your opponent’s
launched marbles.
The virus causes marbles in your opponent’s line to turn
into bearings.
Choose a time limit.
This screen displays the location of
marbles in your opponent’s line, as
well as his or her score and handicap.
If you’ve set a time limit
for the match, a clock
will appear here.
Score and handicap
settings are shown here.
See page 21 for
information on the
different items.
This blue gauge builds up as you
create chains. (On your opponent’s
screen a red gauge builds up.) If
your opponent puts together a
chain, it will blast into this gauge
and decrease the number of
bearings you can send.
Choose the rail shape. Only one shape will be
available the first time you play.
Choose whether or not to use attack items
(other than bearings).
Set handicaps. A positive number sends more
bearings to your opponent when you create
chains, while a negative number sends less.
