consumption. Reopen the system

to resume play.
This function is not available in

multiplayer.

3 Saving and Erasing Data

Saving Data

automatically saved to your save

file. While saving is in progress, the

icon will be displayed at the top-

left of the upper screen.

● Do not turn the power off and
on repeatedly or remove the
Game Card or SD Card while

saving. Make sure not to reset

the system during saves or get
dirt in the terminals. These
actions could result in
permanent data loss.

● Do not use external accessories

data, as this can lead to an
inability to progress or loss of

save data. Any modification is

permanent, so be careful.

Erasing Data

file selection screen and highlight

the file you wish to erase, hold

4 Beginning a Chapter

Move Out!

Choose SOLO from the
main menu, and then

touch MOVE OUT! You

will be able to choose

the chapter and
difficulty, and then begin playing.

The Fiend's Cauldron

Before beginning a

chapter, you can
place hearts in the

Fiend's Cauldron to

alter the chapter's
Intensity. The higher the
Intensity, the more difficult the

chapter will be, but you will

receive more hearts for

completing it and earn better

loot.

About Hearts

Hearts can be obtained in various

ways, such as defeating enemies
or dismantling weapons. You can
use them to alter the Intensity of
chapters or redeem them for new

weapons.

Gear

Here you can choose

which weapon to use
in the chapter and
equip powers that
grant special effects
during gameplay. After equipping
new gear, it can be helpful to test it
out in the Practice Range.

Arms Altar

This is where you can redeem hearts

for new weapons, or fuse multiple

weapons together to create new

weapons (the weapons used in this

process will be lost) . You can also

dismantle unwanted weapons,
converting them into hearts.

Idol Toss

Place an egg into

the tray, then slide the

tray downwards and
release. This will send

the egg flying into the

sky, where it will turn into an Idol. It
is also possible to use multiple eggs
at once.

Eggs can be obtained by

progressing through the game, or by

spending Play Coins accumulated on

your Nintendo 3DS system.

Note: For more information on Play

Coins, please refer to the Operations

Manual for your Nintendo 3DS

system.

You will obtain new treasure by

Treasure Hunt

fulfilling certain in-game conditions.

Circle Pad Pro

If you attach the Nintendo 3DS

Circle Pad Pro (sold separately) to

your system, you can use the Right

Circle Pad to control Pit instead of

the main Circle Pad on the left.

If you do not have a Circle Pad Pro,

you can still change the settings
from the Options menu (p. 14) so
that Pit's movement is controlled
with , ,  and .

Please attach the Circle Pad Pro

either before launching the game, or

while the game is paused.

Note: For detailed information on

setup and use of the Nintendo 3DS
Circle Pad Pro, please refer to the
Operations Manual of the accessory.

correctly...

Right Circle Pad

If the Right Circle Pad is not

responding correctly, or it is sending

signals to the software without being

touched, follow the instructions
below to calibrate the accessory.

● Calibration

❶ While the Title Screen is

displayed or the game is paused,
press ,  and  at the same

time.

❷ Follow the on-screen instructions

to calibrate the Right Circle Pad.

● This calibration function is not
available during multiplayer.

● Calibration of the Nintendo 3DS
system's Circle Pad can be carried
out in the System Settings. Please
refer to the Operations Manual for
details.

7 Failing a Chapter

If the health gauge is

depleted completely,

Pit will enter Crisis

mode, in which the
health gauge does not
appear. If Pit takes too much
damage while in Crisis mode, the
chapter will be failed. You will be
given the option to retry the chapter

from a specific point (Continue),
return to the Move Out! menu or
change gear (this last option will not
be available in certain chapters).

As failing the chapter causes the

Intensity to lower, the loot you have

gathered will become slightly less

valuable.

● If you pick up a Drink of the Gods
item during Crisis mode, the
health gauge will be immediately
refilled.

● Pit will recover from Crisis mode
automatically after a short period
of time.

8 Far Away

with up to five other players over

friends to join.

❷ Adjust the rules (only the player

who created the room can do
this) and equipment you would
like to use, then select MOVE
OUT! to begin the game.

Note: If you choose to play with

friends, registered friends will be

friends your online status from the

main friend list in the HOME Menu.

Joining from the

Friend List

It is also possible to

FRIEND'S GAME to launch this

software and join your friend's

multiplayer game.

local wireless.

You Will Need:

player

● One copy of the software per
player

Connection

Procedures

❶ Either choose an

existing room to join
or select CREATE

ROOM and wait for

the other players to
join.

❷ Choose the rules (only the player

who created the room can do
this) and equipment you would
like to use, then select MOVE
OUT! to begin the game.

10 Rules

In multiplayer, there are two

possible game types to choose from.

Light Versus Dark

A team battle in
which players fight
three-on-three. If
there are fewer

than 6 players
present, the rest of the positions will
be filled by CPU players (characters
controlled by the computer).

❶ When a player on your team is

defeated, your shared Team Life
gauge will be depleted. (The
amount depleted is proportional
to the value of the weapon used
by the defeated player.)

❷ When a player's defeat causes

the Team Life gauge to be
emptied completely, that player
will transform into a powerful
angel.

❸ The first team to defeat the

enemy angel wins the game.

Free-For-All

A battle where all other players are
considered enemies. Defeat as many
opponents as possible within the

time limit. The player with the
highest score at the end is the

winner.

11 AR Card Battle

Select the icon from the main
menu, or the icon from the Vault,

to battle using KID ICARUS:

UPRISING AR Cards.

Note: KID ICARUS: UPRISING

AR Cards can only be used with this
game.

How To Play

❶ Point the outer

cameras at an

AR Card, and an
Idol will appear.
Up to three Idols

can be displayed at once.

❷ To make the Idols battle, place

two AR Cards so that their lower

edges directly face one another,

then press  or touch FIGHT!

Only two cards may participate in

any one battle.

Note: You can take pictures of your
Idols with  or . These pictures

will be saved to the SD Card, where
they can be viewed from the

Nintendo 3DS Camera application on

the HOME Menu.

About Idols

Idols are 3D models of characters

and other game elements. Some

Idols can be obtained in the main

game's Vault, while others
appear from AR Cards.

Using AR Cards

● Place the AR Cards on a flat,
well-lit surface. Adjust the
distance and angle, keeping the
AR Cards within the sights of the
outer cameras, until they are
recognised correctly.

● Ensure that the whole AR Card is
visible on the upper screen. If
part of it is not visible, it may not
be recognised.

● Use AR Cards in areas where they
will not be illuminated directly by
sunlight or light from other
sources, as this can interfere with
the outer cameras' ability to
recognise them properly.

● If an outer camera is dirty, wipe it
with a soft cloth before you
begin.

● If the AR Cards are bent or
folded, they cannot be
recognised by the system. Ensure
that any AR Cards in use are flat
on the surface.

When using AR Cards, it is

necessary to physically move

your Nintendo 3DS system. Make
sure you have plenty of space to

move around the cards and see

them from different angles. You
should also keep a firm grip on
the system at all times.
Avoid making forceful movements
with the system or parts of the

system, as this can lead to injury
or damage to surrounding
objects.
