        Gameplay

        The player adventures through Andalasia and New York City as Giselle, Prince Edward, and Pip, each with their own style of gameplay.

        Giselle

        As Giselle, the player uses the control pad to navigate through the game by performing cartwheels, climbing walls, and swinging on bars.[1]

        Songs: By singing songs in different types of dresses, Giselle can affect her world in different ways. The player sings a song by tracing symbols that appear on the touch screen with the stylus.[1]

        Dresses: The player can use the items collected throughout the game to create or enhance dresses or to create new materials. Using the stylus, the player mixes the required ingredients in the mixing barrel on the touch screen.[1]

        Animal Helpers: As the player meets new animals throughout the game, they can be summoned for help with tasks such as retrieving objects or distracting enemies.

        Edward

        As Edward, the player uses the stylus to interact with the surroundings, and to wield a sword to battle enemies.

        Battle Mode: Success in a mini-game determines the power given to Edward in battle (higher attack, defense, health, or energy). Using the stylus, the player must perform the sword actions on the touch screen.[1]

        Slow Motion: When Edward's energy bar is full, the player can use invulnerable slow motion attacks.[1]

        Horseback Riding: The player uses the stylus to control Edward's horse.

        Pip

        In a series of mini-games, the player uses the control pad and stylus to avoid obstacles and make it to the finish line while collecting items for Giselle.
