Game Options
When you begin Turnabout, you'll find three options: Puzzle Begin, System, and Edit. If you complete Begin Mode, you'll find another option called Puzzle Main. Review these important features before playing.
System Menu
Use the System Menu to save, load, or modify the sounds and appearance of your Turnabout gameplay. Turnabout features over 100 rounds, so it's important to save often.
Saving and Loading
You can save your puzzle progress or load your accomplishments from a previous Turnabout session at the System Menu. Turnabout requires one block of memory on a Memory Card. •
To save a game, highlight "SAVE" and press the X button.
Option Menu
Beneath "SAVE" and "LOAD" on the System Menu, you'll find the word "OPTION."
•
Highlight "OPTION" and press the X button to open the Option Menu.
•
Here you can modify music, graphics, sounds, and other features.
•
If you're new to the game, leave these features on default settings.
Puzzle Modes
Begin Mode features 50 challenging Turnabout rounds. If you successfully complete all of them, you'll open another 50 rounds in the hidden Main Mode!

If you get stumped, skip ahead. Moving on to other rounds allows you to return to old challenges with a fresh perspective.
You must complete at least seven rounds in a row to open up the ten rounds on the next row.
The Ol' Mental Rewind Trick
While a few puzzles seem overwhelming at first, most advanced levels have solutions that require no more than ten to fifteen steps. Hardy veteran players often solve tricky sequences by visualizing the puzzle backwards. They note the location of the last block and then figure out where the ball needs to be to land on that block. From that point, they follow the imaginary path of the ball backwards until they see a spot where they can position the ball to begin solving a previously unsolvable puzzle. Edit Mode
You are the game designer in Edit Mode! Create, playtest, edit, and challenge your friends to over 50 customized Turnabout rounds. You'll find infinite challenges for players of all ages and abilities.
Just Add Vision
Edit Mode features fifty blank stages for creating custom puzzles. It offers all the same pieces found in the regular game.
There's one important design rule: You must build a border around your creation before you can playtest it.
