Guitar
A lightning bolt-shaped guitar, featuring Pikachu's tail in its design, is placed on the lower screen, which can be played with the stylus. Pikachu dances on the top screen to the music made.
Measure
In the measure game mode, Pikachu catches a Magikarp on the top screen, and throws it to the lower screen. The player uses a measuring stick to measure how long the Magikarp is; the longer the Magikarp, the happier Pikachu gets.
Xylophone
A xylophone appears on the lower screen, and can be played with the stylus. Pikachu dances on the top screen to the music made.
Pull
In this mode, the player can pull on Pikachu's cheeks to stretch them; releasing causes the cheek to spring back into place. It is also possible to move Pikachu's tail and ears.
