~ THE SHOP ~
It's one of the most important part about Link. The Shop
will allow you to waste your rupees hardly earned, in order to equip you for
the next matchs. There are many things to say about this topic.
How to activate/deactivate the shop ?
-
In order to use the shop, it must be activated in the
Customization's options.
-
The shop is available by
default in the Arcade modes (Arcade and Team Arcade).
-
In the other modes, the shop is unavailable
(because there's only one match in these modes).
Consequences of the shop's
activation.
When is the shop openable ?
-
You can open the shop since you're
in one of the Arcade modes (Arcade, Team Arcade and Team Coop).
-
You can only open the shop at the
beginning of each battle, just before the first round starts.
-
You must have at least 50 rupees
to access to the shop.
-
You can only open the shop
from the second match.
-
So, the Shop isn't available in
Training, Versus, Team Versus, and Watch modes.
-
In Team Arcade with a Team Turns,
you can only open the shop if Link is the first to fight (so, it's you to
well manage the order of the fighters before the beginning of the next
match !).
-
In Team Simul, if there are two
Link, only the first to open the shop will be able to buy objects for the
current match. If you play in cooperation with your partner, look after
having a good concord in order well balance your equipments. And if you
play without taking care of your partner, be the quicker to react !
How to open the shop ?
-
First of all, and it's imperative,
you should ABSOLUTELY NOT press
on one of the game's buttons
( , , , , , )
during this phase, otherwise, the shop will disappear and the fight will
begin. So, you must let the intro poses normally take place.
-
Note, in the same idea, that you
can only press the directions keys and the
button during this phase.
-
When the shop is openable, Tingle
appears at the top of the screen, suspended to a balloon, at the very
beginning of the fight, when Link arrives.

-
When Tingle stops moving down, you
have a few less than two game seconds to press
.
-
If you do it, Tingle's balloon will
explod, and Tingle will fall on the ground, and run run away.


-
The firs object appears : you're in
the shop !
-
If you don't press
(or
if you press it too late), Tingle goes away in the air, and the fight
begins.
How to use the shop ?
-
Once you've open the shop, that is,
once the first object is displayed, you can make scroll as you want the 25
objects it contains. For this, simply use the
and
keys.
-
You can scroll the objects either
by pressing the directions keys several times, or by holding them.
-
The objects you can buy are
normally displayed. Contrariwise, those you can't buy are translucent.





or even :


-
If an object can't be bought, the
main reason (but not necessarily the only one) for which you can't
buy it is displayed (cf. previous screenshots).
-
For each object, the number of required rupees and the
required experience level is displayed at the bottom, on either side of
the object.

R: Displays the number of required rupees.
E: Displays the required experience level.
-
When you want to buy an object,
simply press
or
. Then,
you're debited of the object's cost, and you'll be able, as soon as the
fight will begin, to use the abilities related to this object. Once bought,
the object becomes translucent (except for the bottles and their contents,
if you still can buy some of them).
-
You can buy as much objects as you
want (as long as your cash and your level allow it) in the same session.
-
It's not possible to resell a
bought object.
-
When you have finished with the
shop, you can press
:
the Game Boy Advance will then turn off and will go out of the screen.
When it has disappeared, the fight can begin.

-
You can also press one of the six
hit buttons : the game immediately turns into fight mode, and the Game Boy
Advance disappears.
-
Likewise, if after having bought
one (or several) object(s), you have less than 50 rupees, then the Game
Boy Advance turns off and automatically goes away from the screen (like if
you have pressed
).
This simply because with less than 50 rupees, you can't buy any object.
-
But be careful, nevertheless, the
opposite isn't true : even if you can't buy anymore objects, if you still
have 50 rupees or more, the shop won't automatically turn off (this will
perhaps be implemented in a next version...)
