'''Shooting Mode:''' | |||
This is the main mode in the game. The aim is to press the A button or tap the touch screen as fast as possible. If you manage to beat a certain pre-set score, you can watch the melon explode which is quite satisfying and master will show his appreciation. | |||
See if you can earn his respect and once you have that, you can aim to beat Takahashi Meijin's astonishing average of 16 Shots per second! | |||
'''Clock Mode and Stop Watch:''' | |||
The clock is just a simple clock that reads from the consoles internal clock. There is also a basic stop watch. The maximum time is 100 minutes then the timer will start again. Start or stop the timer with the A button and reset it with the B button. | |||
'''3 Slot Mode:''' | |||
Your classic slot machine with 3 reels. The original device did not include this but flash versions found on the internet do. It is added by showing some fruit to improve the feel of playing a real slot machine. Check out the prize table for what you can win. | |||
'''4 Slot Mode:''' | |||
Exactly the same as the 3 slots but a bit harder because now you have to match 4 reels. The reward for winning this mode is double that of the 3 Slots Mode. Feeling lucky? | |||

This is the main mode in the game. The aim is to press the A button or tap the touch screen as fast as possible. If you manage to beat a certain pre-set score, you can watch the melon explode which is quite satisfying and master will show his appreciation.
See if you can earn his respect and once you have that, you can aim to beat Takahashi Meijin's astonishing average of 16 Shots per second!
Clock Mode and Stop Watch:
The clock is just a simple clock that reads from the consoles internal clock. There is also a basic stop watch. The maximum time is 100 minutes then the timer will start again. Start or stop the timer with the A button and reset it with the B button.
3 Slot Mode:
Your classic slot machine with 3 reels. The original device did not include this but flash versions found on the internet do. It is added by showing some fruit to improve the feel of playing a real slot machine. Check out the prize table for what you can win.
4 Slot Mode:
Exactly the same as the 3 slots but a bit harder because now you have to match 4 reels. The reward for winning this mode is double that of the 3 Slots Mode. Feeling lucky?

Known issues
There are no major problems with the game at all. Sometimes you may experience connection problems when using the WiFi Transfer mode and the game may not get past the connecting screen. In this case, reboot your DS and try connecting before entering any of the other menus. If the problem still persists then the problem must lie within your DS connection configuration.
