Gameplay

Players operate the claw machines by pressing and holding the A button to have the claw move to the left. Releasing the button has the claw stop and attempt to pick up anything beneath it. Specific machines may have a hammer in place of a claw; when the button is released, the hammer descends until it meets resistance, then swings. There are also machines that drop bombs when the button is released. Machines are grouped by games and will be playable for a limited time before being rotated out.

Using the machines requires plays. Five plays are sold for $1 USD. The first time the game is started, the player is given five free plays. A practice machine can be used once each day to acquire more free plays. Every ten badges collected in the practice machine rewards one free play, with some badges giving bonus plays. Extra badges roll over to the next day. Additionally, one free play may be given during promotions.

Badges are put on the Nintendo 3DS's HOME Menu in the slots used by applications. Certain badges will also open applications such as the Nintendo eShop, Mii Maker, and the Nintendo 3DS camera. Badges may also be put on folders. Players can also post snapshots of their Home screens on Miiverse to show off their badge arrangements.

Badges are grouped into sets by which machine they are in.
