HOW TO PLAY
The cursor is used to mark your current position and to identify the desired flare to be captured. The Guideline that extends from the floating Cursor indicates the direction of the Cursor. Using the Left Analog Stick, move the Guideline to the desired flare. The Cursor will move across the Guideline to the desired flare. Press the button to capture the flare. The flares that can be captured are indicated by a Catch Cursor.
Catching the Flare
Seizing the flares with the Cursor is called a "catch." The Catch Cursor is displayed when there is a flare that can be caught at the tip of the Guideline. While the Catch Cursor is displayed, press the X button to move the Cursor across the Guideline and capture the flare marked with the Catch Cursor.
The captured flares are marked with a Catch Mark and the color of that flare is added to the Catch Display. Press the button to flash the captured flares. At least 3 flares of the same color must be captured before you can flash them into an explosive extravaganza.
After you have captured at least 3 flares of the same color, you may successively catch more flares of the same color. However, flares marked with the Catch Mark cannot be captured again. Match the Guideline to the flares and catch by pressing the Ⓧ button.
Flashing
Detonating the flares is known as "flashing." Press the Ⓞ button to flash (detonate) all of the captured flares when more than three flares of the same color are captured. Special items may appear when flares are flashed (detonated).
The on-screen Catch Display will be highlighted to identify when flares can be flashed (detonated). When flares are flashed, the Play Meter will replenish slightly. If you catch three or more flares of the same color, press the O button to detonate all of the captured flares
