(Editor's note: While we realise that presenting the controls for a game that you have the instruction book for may be a little on the waste-of-a-page side (unless you're playing the Japanese version and can't read the book, of course), we won't stoop so low as to include the Online controls, as they are simply the same as the normal Dreamcast Browser controls. If you don't know how to figure out these controls, we here at the GIA urge you to tear yourself away from your computer for a few brief moments to read the actual instruction book instead of relying totally on online help. After you're done, please return and click on our banner, which will make us happy, and will directly result in more online guides such as this one, allowing the vicious cycle to continue.

After that, you may continue with the guide...)
