You can pause the game at any time by pressing START. A menu will be displayed with the following options:
Continue
Return to the current game.
Progress
Open a map that shows the area of the magical world that you are currently exploring. This map keeps track of the Princesses you have found by displaying their gems above the area where you found them.
It also shows the total number of Magic Charms you must collect to earn special fireworks, lights and fountains that you can use at the end of the game.
Magic Charms
You will find many Magic Charms scattered throughout the adventure. Collect as many as you can to gain extra fireworks, lights and fountains for your display in the My Show - Finale.
Be quick to catch them, though, or that nasty monkey, Brutus, will snatch them away before your very eyes!
Keys
You will find one gold, one silver and one bronze Key in each of the four areas of the enchanted world. These Keys unlock gates that lead to various activities you must complete. Any Keys you find will be displayed at the top of the screen.
Pressure Platforms
Sometimes Genevieve™ will need to stand on pressure platforms scattered around an area to open pathways or unlock doors.
Dance Star
Whenever you find a princess, you will return to the Central Pavilion where you can play a round of Dance Star and teach fantastic new dance moves to each princess you find.
The Vial of Elixir
The Vial of Elixir is your ultimate goal. You will need to complete all three activities in each of the four game worlds to find it.
The Enchanted Glen
Your adventure begins in a beautiful, magical glade among shimmering trees and sparkling pools. Explore this area to find the Golden Flute.
The three parts of the Flute are hidden in different places throughout the Enchanted Glen, and you must play a game to win each part. A floating disk marks the location of each game. Twyla™ will lead you to them.
Gemstone Juggle (First Part of the Flute)
The first part of the flute is hidden behind leaves in the branches of a magical tree. When apple-gems fall from the tree, press the directional buttons or use the left analog stick to move Twyla™ left and right and bounce the apple-gems back into the branches.
Knock the leaves loose until you find the flute. Three correct hits will completely uncover the flute and a fourth hit will dislodge it.
