To navigate through the game, use the control icons which can be accessed by
pressing RIGHT or LEFT when the character is in downtime animation mode. To
choose from all of the different things you can do with your Neopet, you first need
to know what the different icons mean. These will allow you to control what you
and your Neopet do, and when you do it.

First, the aim of the game is to gain as many trophies as possible, earn NeoPoints
and get the highest Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels possible. This is
done by playing games and earning NeoPoints so you can
buy cool items for your Neopet.
PORTS
There are three ports below the screen that allow
rapid access to the Gaming ( Dice), Feeding
( Food) and Doctor ( Hospital) modes. Just insert
the bottom of the Neopet into the port to activate.
AISHA FACE
Here you can scroll through all the different
bio information of your Neopet. You can check
on its height, weight, personality, etc. Just press & to scroll
through the information.
BOOK
Here you can check the status of your Neopet's Health, Happiness
and Intelligence levels. These levels are affected by how you play and
treat your Neopet. Feeding and sleeping on time make the Neopet's
Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels go up. Toys and Petpets
affect the Neopet's Happiness and Intelligence.
Lack of sleep, feeding and interaction (with Petpets and toys) will
make your Neopet's levels drop, which may cause your Neopet to
leave you.
TROPHIES
Three of the four games in this toy allow you to play for Trophies that
you can earn at three different levels. You have to gain a certain score
in a specific level to get the trophy. In Techo Says, 900 NeoPoints is
needed to get a promotion, 900 NeoPoints for a Negg Drop and 180
NeoPoints for Poogle Race.
For example, if the NeoPoints gained on Techo Says level one
accumulated to 900 NeoPoints, you can get the third place trophy of
Techo Says and reach level two. You need to gain 900 NeoPoints in
level two in order to get the second place trophy of Techo Says and
promote to level three. If you win another 900 NeoPoints in level three,
you will win the first place trophy for Techo Says.
When all three first place trophies have been achieved, you will
receive a Rare Item Code that can be viewed in the Trophy section.
Type this code into the www.neopets.com/code page to receive a
special item that is unique to people who have completed this
part of the game.
FOOD
Your Neopet needs to be fed regularly (three times per day) so you
must remember to give it food. First, you must purchase the food
items from the food store, which will automatically store the items in
the Burlap Sack. You can, however, access the food directly by
pressing ENTER when the FOOD icon is highlighted. This will take
you to the list of food items you have purchased.
To select something to eat, toggle down the items (allowing them to
scroll across the screen so you can read the whole word). When the
one you want to feed to your Neopet is highlighted, press ENTER and
the screen will ask "DO YOU WANT TO USE?". Select YES to
