DS Touch Pad Controls

You can use the Stylus button to control the game. Most of the features mentioned in the Common Controls section can also be controlled with the Stylus thanks to a number of buttons displayed on the screen. Most of these buttons will be displayed along the right side of the screen, and have a small icon showing the button normally associated with the action, as well as some descriptive text or image telling you what the button will do.
