Game Play
Jake makes his way through the environment using
the +Control Pad to choose his direction and the
buttons to perform actions. No need to control the
camera, it’s always on Jake!
Jake changes into the American Dragon by
collecting focus points, (little blue sparkles that are
dropped by his enemies when defeated). He’ll only
stay in Dragon Mode for a short time.
Every time Jake defeats an enemy, he may drop
focus, health, a Jump In or nothing at all. Pick them
up to gain their benefit.
Focus Partially refills Jake’s focus meter.
Health Partially refills Jake’s energy meter.
Jump In Tokens that can be used to get help from a friend.
