Summary[]
Yuto was just an ordinary young boy in Kirakira First Street until one day, whilst searching for his sister Yui, he encountered a Wonder-Star citizen named Wanda who then became Yuto's Kamiwaza Teammate. Yuto, now a Kamiwaza Power-Shooter, has the capability to capture and debug Bugmins and summon Promins with Wanda's advice.
Together, Yuto and his Kamiwaza Teammate Wanda go on an epic ordeal to stop the evil Don Bugdez whose plan is to seek world domination, with help from the Bug Bytes, by running a Bugmin army of his own. Can Yuto and Wanda work together and save the world from the Bugmin chaos?
Gameplay[]
When a player begins a new game[]
A new game starts off with a dialogue event which is loosely based on the very first episode of the Kamiwaza Wanda anime series. After Wanda left his home planet the Wonder-Star, which was put into ice by the Wonder-King, Yuto was told to go out and pick up Yui by his mother Yuuka. On his way to pick up Yui, Yuto met up with Mirai and had a little conversation with her. Afterwards, the gameplay begins.
Overworld[]
The player gets to control Yuto in the overworld part of the game. To move Yuto around, the player has to use the circle pad or the D-pad.
There are icons that also appear on the overworld map. The first icon for the player to come across on the overworld map is an event icon which is in a form of a reddisly-pink exclamation mark. If Yuto stops on that icon, the player presses the A button to start another dialogue event.
Later on the overworld map, after the tutorial, further more icons appear.
- Coin icon: Gets the player to collect coins if Yuto runs into this icon. It in a form of an actual coin.
- Recharge icon: Gets the player to recharge Yuto's Kamiwaza Power-Shot. It is in a form of an electric battery.
- Heart icon: Gets the player to heal up the Promins. It is in a form of a green heart.
- Bugmin icon: If Yuto runs into this icon, a Promin VS Bugmin battle will trigger. It is in a form of a dark cloud with a wicked face on it. A bigger version of this icon was first seen during a main story event when the player has to defeat, capture and debug Bug-Jetmin.
Some of the paths on the overworld map can be unlocked if the player collects certain Promins by capturing and debugging their Bugmin egos.
Sometimes, the player could guide Yuto to the spot where they placed Wanda onto.
Search mode[]
In this mode, the player has to either move the 3DS left or right or use the circle pad to move the Kamiwaza Searcher's light around until the Bugmin is found and revealed. To zoom in or zoom out, the player has the press the L or R buttons. This mode can be done during quests.
Battle mode[]
In this mode, the player has to use a choice of 5 of the Promins they collected so far to battle Bugmins and other Promins. To activate the Promin's Kamiwaza ability, the player has the press the Y button whilst highlighting the Promin only if the Promin's ready to use it. If the player wins the battle, the Promins will gain EXP points. If the player loses the battle, the Promins won't get any EXP points at all.
Promin VS Bugmin battles[]
These battles can be triggered either if Yuto runs into a Bugmin icon or after a Bugmin is revealed during a quest. If the player wins the Promin VS Bugmin battle during a quest, the game will then enter 'Catch mode'.
Promin VS Promin battles[]
These battles can be done when the player chooses to take on battle-challenges collected from other players. The player has to use a choice of 5 of the Promins they collected so far to battle the Promins belonging to another player. If the player wins that battle, they'll collect some power-orbs.
Catch mode[]
In this mode, the player has to either move the 3DS left or right or use the circle pad just like how they did during 'Search mode' but to move the cursor around in order to aim for that Bugmin. To stun the Bugmin, the player has to press the A button when the cursor is on the Bugmin. Pressing the L or R buttons to get the player to zoom in or zoom out. To stun the Bugmin with a powerful shot, the player has to press the X button. Pressing the Y button will get the player to tractor-beam the Bugmin which will lead the player to capturing it. When capturing the Bugmin, the player must keep the gauge in between the 2 curves by pressing the Y button. If the gauge at the bottom of the top-screen reaches one of its ends, the Bugmin will break free from being captured. When the Bugmin icon has reached the bottom end of the gauge on the side of the top-screen, the player has to press the R button in order to debug the Bugmin. After that, the Promin, in which the Bugmin has turned into, has added to the player's Promin collection.
During the tutorial when the game enters 'Catch mode' for the first time, the player gets to play as Wanda and has to capture and debug Bug-Turbomin.
