As usual, there are various power-ups to help through the game (laser, slow ball, duplicate balls, next level, etc.) The game has one player mode, multiplayer and vs COM modes.
The one player mode consists of the Clear mode and the Quest mode.
The Clear mode is a series of 7 zones of 5 rounds each.
There is a total of 28 zones in the game.
At the end of the Clear modes, Ananke (the main character and pilot of the VAUS) frees one of his captured friends, these friend's VAUS can then be used in the game.
In the Quest mode, each previously played round is available to replay with a specific challenge (Break all blocks of one color within time limit, or ball launch limit, etc.) Each round gives points that can be used at the shop to buy in-game features to customize it (Blocks shapes, VAUS, backgrounds, etc.) The VS Com and Multiplayer are similar.
You must defeat either the Com or another friend in either Bust All or Bust Color match.
The quickest to achieve the goal wins.
There is also new power-ups that hinder the opponent.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Arkanoid DS [With Paddle Controller] for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
