®

HARDWARE SYSTEM, GAME CARD OR

SAFETY INFORMATION.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

WARNING - Seizures

• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns,
such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.

• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition
should consult a doctor before playing a video game.

• Parents should watch when their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or
your child have any of the following symptoms:
Convulsions Eye or muscle twitching Loss of awareness

Altered vision Involuntary movements Disorientation

• To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.

2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

4. Play in a well-lit room.

5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.

WARNING - Radio Frequency Interference

The Nintendo DS can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including
cardiac pacemakers.

• Do not operate the Nintendo DS within 9 inches of a pacemaker while using the wireless feature.

• If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the wireless feature of the
Nintendo DS without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device.

• Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of wireless devices in locations such as
hospitals, airports, and on board aircraft. Operation in those locations may interfere with or cause
malfunctions of equipment, with resulting injuries to persons or damage to property.

WARNING - Repetitive Motion Injuries and Eyestrain

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt after a few hours. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

• Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don't think you need it.

• When using the stylus, you do not need to grip it tightly or press it hard against the screen. Doing so
may cause fatigue or discomfort.

• If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest them for several
hours before playing again.

•

If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, arms or eyes during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.

WARNING - Battery Leakage

The Nintendo DS contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the
battery pack, or the combustion products of the ingredients, can cause personal injury as well as damage to your
Nintendo DS.
If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and
water. If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with
water and see a doctor.
To avoid battery leakage:

• Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.

• Do not disassemble, attempt to repair or deform the battery.

• Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire.

• Do not touch the terminals of the battery, or cause a short between the terminals with a metal object.

• Do not peel or damage the battery label.

ADVENTURE MODE

This is the core of the Diddy Kong Racing DS
one-player game, a progressive story mode
that pits you against every challenge that each
of the four worlds has to offer. Make your way
through the game by collecting Golden Balloons.
These will break Wizpig’s spell and unlock course
doors, allowing you to race for more balloons
and access other areas. The game’s free­roaming, non-linear structure ensures that,
while the secrets of some courses will remain
sealed until later in the game, you’ll never find
yourself limited to a single track to race on or a
single area to explore.

After selecting one of the three save slots, all
of which will be empty initially, selecting Single
Player will allow you to choose between the
Adventure mode or a Single Race.
