Blue was summoned to get rid of the Daruma tribe, and save Raguy from the Daruma Empire that has turned the inhabitants into slaves.
You control Blue, who only has one weapon to deal with the Darumas.
You can use his leaf to whip enemies upside-down, and hurl these enemies at others.
Along the way, you can get flowers for use at the shop to buy items that will help you along the way.
These items include flower honey (increases stamina), swim fins (easier swimming), light safe (protects all your items), spikes, and ocarinas.
Later in the game, you can also get the shopkeeper to sing you a song.
This helps you break curses that are placed on you by a witch.You will also interact with other characters along the way that can also help you if you tell the truth.
You exit each stage by jumping on a huge plant.
The higher up you are on this plant, the more points you are awarded.
Every two or so stages, you have to defeat a boss before a guy in a devil suit offers you something.
You can refuse or accept the other.
If you accept the offer, you will have to pull one of four strings that will give you a life ball, more stamina, 30 flowers, cocoons, or five flowers.
You are on a time limit.
If you run out of time, a black creature appears out of nowhere, and starts firing "bird" missiles at you.
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 Journey to the Center of the Earth 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.
Adding Journey to the Center of the Earth to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2008.
