The objective of Columns Crown is to collect 24 kinds of Magic Gems. A few of the Magic Gems are hidden in each of the game modes. For example, there are Magic Gems that become available if you achieve a high grade in Survival Mode, and there are those that become available if you defeat the thieves in VS - CPU mode. The conditions that must be met to obtain the Magic Gems are a secret. You can also use Game Boy® Advance Game Link® cable to exchange Magic Gems with your friends. Good luck, and do your best to collect all 24 kinds of Magic Gems.

Gems are harder for JADE and easier for RUBY, and vice versa.

Game Objective

Long before our time,

There was a small kingdom that stone like the sun, glowing with light from mysterious

jewels...

The day for Princess Dazzle to ascend the throne as Queen was approaching...

However, before she can become Queen, Princess Dazzle must complete the “Columns

Crown”, the symbol of her sovereignty.

The Columns Crown is encrusted with 24 Magic Gems. It is said that those who wear it

will have any wish granted.

...But, most of the Magic Gems were lost.

Princess Dazzle had decided to have two of her classmates look for them.

It seems that the Magic Gems have been scattered throughout the kingdom. According

to rumors, forest-dwelling thieves are collecting the Magic Gems as well. In addition,

some Magic Gems have been hidden in the Sparkle Shrine.

Princess Dazzle gave each of her friends two Magic Gems that had been left in the castle.

Now the adventure begins for the two who had been charged with fulfilling the wish of

the Princess.
