Negima!? Neo-Pactio Fight!!

General Info
Gameplay is for 1 player in Story Mode, and 1-4 players in Battle Mode. Attacks: There are three standard attacks, and one high-powered attack that each character has; here, they are classed as Basic Attack (B.A.), Unique Attack (U.A.), Ranged Attack (R.A.), and マギステル·アーツ (Magister Arts).
 * All battles have four characters, the rest being A.I.

Story Mode
Go through the story as one of the 10 playable characters. As the story unfolds, you will go through 6 battles. They can have variant rules, including one type where you can't use your attacks, and have to win a Special Event as the match instead.

Battle Mode
In battle mode, you can select either 1 Player Challenge, or 1-4 players battles.
 * 1 Player Challenge: Fight through as many battles as you can.
 * 1-4 player battles: Essentially your standard multiplayer battle mode. Can be done as free-for-all, or teams of 2vs.2. Can set the time limit, turn on/off Special Events, choose the field, etc.

Pactio
While in Pactio Form, your attacks won't change in strength with the Stamina Meter. It becomes the time limit for the Pactio, and will slowly deplete; when it runs out the Pactio ends. Also, touching a Pactio Card while under the influence of a Pactio will make the card vanish instantly with no effect (you can do this to prevent opponents from using it).
 * You can increase the duration of Pactios by getting Stamina restoration items.
 * Of course, this won't allow for multiple Armor attacks, since using the attack fully drains the gauge.

Selecting a Pactio

 * 1a) Move Nunchuk in a circle motion to slow the cards' rotation.
 * 1b) Hold [A]+[B]and pull the Wii-mote back to select the Pactio passing in front (closest to the screen). (Makes a "fuwa~" sound)
 * It's not easy to pull off, but can be done. It's even harder on the other control styles...
 * 2) Just let it be random (do nothing).

Suka Pactio (GREEN CARD)

 * Changes your attacks to something pathetic.
 * Can't dodge or recover during aerial knockback.
 * Can't pick anything up. (Can still recover health)
 * Can become large if you get a Stamina restoration item. (of course, that also means you stay in Suka form longer)
 * does that have a beneficial situation???

Cosplay Pactio (BLUE CARD)

 * Powers up your attacks (also makes some of them larger/more projectiles).
 * Effectively Invincible. (I've not tested for limits, if any)
 * All attacks have no Stamina Cost, so you can spam your favorites, worry-free!
 * Get Stamina-recovery items when you get below 50% stamina to help make it last as long as possible!

Armor Pactio (RED CARD)

 * Completely Invincible while Armor Pactio is active.
 * Can't use any attacks, or pick up items.
 * You can still gather HP/Stamina restoring items.
 * マギステル·アーツ (Magister Arts): Trigger with [A]+[B]+Wii-mote (pull back); depletes Stamina Meter.

Playable Characters (10)
Details on the characters and their attack stats
 * The numbers are the attacks' stats. Shown as: [Power/Stamina - Cosplay Power], exept for Magister Arts, which only show [Power], since they have not cost and end the Pactio after use.
 * Remember this: Stamina is the "cost" for an attack. When your stamina gets low enough, your attacks will get weaker/smaller/fewer projectiles.
 * While in a Pactio, your attacks won't drain your Stamina meter; instead it shows how long it will last. Also, while in Cosplay Pactio, some attacks get more than just a damage powerup, such as Evangeline's R.A. increasing to 7 projectiles.
 * The names of the attacks are given as directly stated in the game. Kanji may not yet be translated, and thus shown as "????"; also, Katakana English words will be shown in their English spelling.

Negi Springfield

 * 1) Power: D
 * 2) ????: A
 * 3) Stamina: A
 * 4) Speed?: A
 * dodge direction: backward
 * B.A.: [03/08 - 05] "????" (1-hit combo; wide hit area)

 * "Magister Arts": [22] "????" (controlled attack; rotate angle, slow rotation)
 * Negi doesn't actually have a Pactio in this game (notice that his "cards" are faded), so he either becomes a Chupacabra (Suka), powered up (Cosplay), or casts a mighty spell (Armor). It's the same effects either way.
 * He hadn't done one himself in the books at the time this was released; he has since done so, and uses it to EPIC effect! (His gives him the ability to call upon the Artifact of ANY person he has made a Pactio with, such as Asuna's Magic/Ki-Cancelling-Harisen!!!).

 * I don't know how to trigger the 3-book version, but she definitely has two versions. Maybe involves Wii remote or full Stamina Meter?

Support Characters (22)
In the game, they are listed in their class order, minus those that are playable. You 'equip' up to 2 per person (no duplicates) before a battle. They give various power-ups as support, but trigger only once each in the battle.
 * Sorted here by effect type, then class numberl.
 * Who you equip matters more than just their effect.
 * Several characters have a Best Partner, which can either be a Playable Character or a second Support Character. Either way, when they are teamed up with that person, their support effect will be much more useful. Those people are noted next to them.

Stages
There are 6 Stages available in the game, though you can only select 5 to play on at first. (I don't know if the last one can be unlocked for standard play. Also, I don't know their names, so I've just numbered them for now, and put the descriptions. hopefully this will be corrected correctly.)
 * Sometimes, swarms of creatures will appear and attack the players. Beware of them.
 * Falling off of a stage will cause damage (about 1/8?), then you are returned to the field (unless you were defeated by that).

(Mahora City Courtyard)
This is effectively the most basic Stage in the game, with a Ferris Wheel in the background and a roller coaster that runs by the area. Watch out for the spinning cups though; break them or avoid them.

(Bridge at night)

 * Occasionally the center area will suddenly tilt, making you more likely to get dumped off the edge.
 * The side areas might retract, making a large hole, sometimes right under you...

(Ruins?)

 * Stone faces in the corners will occasionally shoot fire either across the sides of the field or diagonally through the center (their eyes glow orange before they fire)

(Behind Mahora Gakouen's giant clock)

 * Has several rotating areas. There are statues that can be attacked to reverse the direction of the rotating.
 * There are two treads in the upper area, which lead to drop-offs.

(Mahora Gakouen Library Island)

 * A statue might appear that when attacked drops a giant wash-pan on the main field area

(Millennium Tree area?)

 * (no special details yet, other than it's not available from the beginning)

Special Events
These are kind of like mini-games that occur during a battle, but do matter afterwards. (the names are not official, or even necessarily correct; hopefully this can be corrected)
 * Several can appear in one battle, but never at the same time.
 * However, in Story Mode, there are some battles that are really just the mini-game, during which you can't use attacks to win.

Collect the Coins
Touch the coins to get points. There are Bronze (1 pt.), Silver (3 pts.), and Gold (5 pts.) coins. (They are officially called Coins)

Break the Statuettes
Attack a Statuette to get a point. Use wide-hitting attacks to destroy them faster (and before your opponents).

Creature Toss
Pick up a "chick" and toss it into the "magic well" (located around the center of the field) to get a point.

Defeat the Mogura
Attack the Mogura (large, bunny-like; appear via spell-circles) to get points. Be careful, the Mogura can also attack you! (They are officially called Mogura)

Gather the creatures
Pick up creatures and toss them into the cup that is by where you started.
 * You can also pick up explosives to throw into opponent's cups and reduce the number of creatures in their cup.

Items
There are various items that will appear during gameplay. Here we'll detail what they do.

Touch-trigger Items

 * Manjuu/other food stuff: Healing
 * Juice/(others?): restore Stamina Meter
 * When Stamina-restoring items are used by a person in Suka Pactio form, they will refill the Stamina Meter and become larger. (not sure if it actually makes them stronger... it DOES make them a bigger target.)
 * Pactio Card: Triggers Pactio Mode (invincible while transforming)

Throwing Items
Some items have variant appearances, based on the Stage being fought on.
 * Crate: Throw to do damage. When it breaks open, it releases several various items.
 * Freeze Ball: Pick up and throw to freeze opponent(s)
 * Flame Ball: Pick up and throw to injure opponent(s) and set them on fire (does continuous damage for a while)
 * Smoke Ball: Pick up and throw to injure opponent(s), also does knockback
 * Bomb: Pick up and throw to injure opponent(s). Detonates on impact, or after a time period.
 * Time Bomb: Pick up and throw to injure opponent(s). Detonates after a time period.
 * Bowl of Ramen: Pick up and throw to do damage, with maybe strong knockback. (HUH?! and does it do anything else?)

 * Grab item: [Down] (on Wii Remote's D-pad)
 * To throw the item, either hit [Down] again, hit [A], or shake the Wii Remote, whatever is more efficient for you.
