Learning

There is a decent amount of dialog in the game, using simple every day language in large easy-to-read text at the bottom of the screen. It only goes to the next page when the player hits A, so they have as much time as they want to read it.

In each town, there are people who need the player's help. That help might be finding a lost balloon, attracting customers to a hot-dog stand, or helping a ghost. Everything is done through taking photos or talking to people All the game's mechanics are .
