Screens

   While this guide is mainly for the English versions of ChuChu Rocket!, early adopters who imported the Japanese release may be a bit confused by the katakana menu screens. Thus, this section provides a rough translation of what each screen in the Japanese version actually says in English. In all of the screens, the Analog Stick/D-pad is used to move between the options, while the A button/Start button is used to confirm selections, the Start button is used to move to the next screen, and the B button is used to go back one screen. Obviously, if you're playing one of the English versions, you can skip on to the next section, Battle Mode.

»Note: there must be at least one human player, and you can only select human if there is a controller of some sort in that port on the DC. Also note that you don't have to actually be able to _play_ the game with the controller in the latter part (eg. having the Dreamcast Gun plugged in will allow you to select 'human' for the port it is plugged into...)
