Use the stylus to note the differences.
There are two sets of powerups: hourglasses, which completely refresh your time needed for the level, and magnifying glasses, which automatically find one difference for you.
Each story begins with a certain number of these powerups, with no way to replenish them.
There are three difficulty levels, which have five, six, or seven differences to find in each image, and three stories: Dreams, Goldilocks, and Robin Hood.
Multiplayer is also included, where you can either help another player find the differences, or compete to find the differences faster.
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 Photo Phantasy 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 Photo Phantasy 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 2011.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Photo Phantasy, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
