Patapon 3/Controls

The Patapon series is quite unique in its control system, instead of pressing a button and having response, you are sending commands.

A command is a sequence of 4 buttons, timed with the game's rhythm. Once playing, there would be a white flashing border as a visual guide, plus the music itself should help you.

you input your 4 beats command, and then wait 4 beats for them to complete it. For example: And so on...
 * 1) User input: PATA PATA PATA PON
 * 2) Patapons preform: PATA PATA PATA PON (lasts 4 beats).
 * 3) User input: PON PON PATA PON
 * 4) Patapons preform: PON PON PATA PON

Drums
There are 4 drums, each is assigned with one of the 4 face buttons of the PSP.
 * - Pata
 * - Pon
 * - Don
 * - Chaka

Songs
Songs, or commands, are sequences of 4 specific drums:

Fever
As you play, you will notice a worm appearing on the top left of the screen. This is the Fever worm, and it indicates... That's right, your Fever.

Once you achieve a perfect timing on all 4 beats, while having a combo of over 3 times, you'll gain Fever. While in Fever, attack and defense are both boosted. Also uberhero mode can only be preformed during fever.
