Main game

The gameplay involves two characters fighting it out in a 3D arena with items and obstacles. Items can be used to help the player beat the other character and obstacles only get in the way of the characters. In Event Battle, once the player has beaten enough enemies, each character's rival will appear. Event Battle is completed when the rival is defeated.
