New pop sensation Savannah Starr thinks she can top Hannah

Montana in the Music Jam Online video competition and Hannah is

feeling the heat. Worse, there’s a new girl at Seaview High School,

Josie Moore. She’s hip, she’s cool, she’s totally likeable, and she’s

totally stealing all of Miley’s friends!

The Music Jam Online music video competition is fast approaching.

To win it, Hannah Montana must play her own musical instruments in

the video – and that means practice, practice, practice. Meanwhile,

Hannah’s father (who’s also her manager) is worried that Hannah is

not keeping her life balanced between her friends and her fans. He

won’t let her enter the competition unless she gets her life back in

balance!

It’s a lot for one girl with two identities to handle. But with your help,

she’s sure to get it all done. Read on, then step into Hannah’s world

and create Music Jam Online music videos hotter than Savannah

Starr’s new videos. Then help Miley compete for friends against the

new girl, Josie Moore, and protect her reputation. And most

importantly, be there to help her keep her balancing act…balanced!

Miley’s dad wants her to keep things in “balance,”

but keeping things in balance is hard! Especially when

being a friend sometimes means spending all your time helping your

buds, when you really need to be working on your music career. So

in between doing favors Miley tries to ﬁnd the time to practice music,

create totally awesome videos, and keep her Hannah Montana fans

totally hyped. It’s totally too much to do!

adventuregamescreen

The game screen is divided into

two parts. On top is where Miley

gets around town, meeting friends

and doing favors. On the bottom is

a whole bunch of info about where

she is and where she needs to go.

That’s also where you can read

what everybody has to say.

but doing both? At the same

girls! Check the Task List to ﬁnd

out what she’s supposed to be

doing next.

Tasks with Stars next to them

help Hannah in her competition with Savannah. Tasks

with Hearts are for Miley and her competition with Josie.

And the third row? Those are special tasks that…well…

they’re special.

You and Miley will just have to do them so you can ﬁnd

out what they’re for!

To learn more about a task on the list, tap it. As long

as a task remains on the list, you can earn Hearts or

Stars from it. So if you have already earned Hearts or

Stars from a task, and it’s still on the list, try it again

to earn even more!

Note: Miley can go anywhere she wants,

but Hannah can’t (the paparazzi is everywhere)! When Hannah opens the Map, you will

be reminded to change into one of Miley’s outﬁts before leaving.

Disney Interactive Studios |HM2 – Music JAM! |DS Manual |MECH | 09.06.07

dialog

Miley’s friends certainly like to talk. After pressing the B Button to

start a conversation, a dialog box opens on the Touch Screen. Tap the

Arrow to read more and tap the “✓” to end the chat.

Most conversations happen face-to-face, but once in a while Miley will

get a call from her dad on her cell phone. Cell phone conversations

work just like regular conversations. And yeah, Dad usually calls to ask

for favors, too.

changestations

To complete some of the Fan tasks, Miley may need to enter a Change

Station and switch into one of Hannah’s outﬁts. Change Stations are

marked with special icons. When Miley is close to one, press the

B Button to enter it.

Once inside, you’ll be able to dress Hannah in your favorite clothes, or

you can create favorite outﬁts by combining separate pieces you

have collected around Malibu.

musicpractice

If Savannah Starr can play her own instruments, then so can Hannah

Montana...but not until she practices a little. Okay, maybe after a lot of

practice. Good thing playing music is fun!

Look for Music Practice icons around town. There’s one for Rhythm

Guitar right in Miley’s living room (once Miley talks to Dad about it ﬁrst)!

guitar

If you’re going to be a pop star, then you

need to learn to play the guitar. Start off

on rhythm and work your way up to lead!

Rhythm Guitar

Keep your eye on the musical notes as

they scroll down the fretboard toward

the guitar body on the Touch

Screen. When the +Control

Pad icon turns green, press

the +Control Pad in the

same direction as the icon

AND strum across all of

the strings (from left

to right) with the stylus. Lefties push the

A, B, X, Y Buttons instead.

If you’re left handed, go to Settings on the Main Menu and

change the Guitar setting to Left Handed. Instead of using the

+Control Pad to ﬁnger notes and chords, lefties can use

the A, B, X, YButtons on the other side of the Touch Screen.

Yeah, it’s tricky. But you’ll get the hang of it. To make it easier,

rotate your Nintendo DS™ 90 degrees counter-clockwise and

strum DOWN instead of left to right, just like a real guitar.

Bass Guitar

Playing bass is like playing rhythm, except instead of strumming

all the strings when the note scrolls over the guitar body, you “pick”

just one string by ﬂicking it with your stylus. You can produce a

slightly different “slapping” sound by tapping the string with your

stylus instead of ﬂicking it.

Lead Guitar

If you have mastered bass, then you’re ready for lead. Use the

same +Control Pad ﬁngering technique as before, but tap each

string instead of ﬂicking or strumming. You can “bend” a note by

holding the stylus against the Touch Screen after a tap and

then dragging the string up toward the next one.

Now you’re playing the blues!

Disney Interactive Studios |HM2 – Music JAM! |DS Manual |MECH | 09.06.07

drums

Hannah has to master the drums,

too. And guess what? Drumming

takes practice, just like guitar

playing. Use the stylus and the

Touch Screen to tap each drum

and cymbal at the right time, or

you can use the +Control Pad

and the A, B, X, Y Buttons to

sound them (see chart to the right).

Timing is everything in drums. Try to hit each drum when the target

pieces come together and turn purple.

musicvideocompetition

Once Hannah has gotten her fans super hyped about her latest video

(and once Miley has gotten her friends super hyped about her) it’s time

to head into the video studio and create another entry for the Music

Jam Online music video competition.

working with scenes

Scenes are the building blocks of Hannah’s music videos. Each video

has 12 scenes – and each scene is ﬁve seconds long. To make a

scene active (so that you can ﬁll it with music, backdrops, poses and

special effects) tap it with your stylus on the Touch Screen.

Since all 12 scenes won’t ﬁt on the Touch Screen, you can tap the

Arrow icons (or press the L Button and R Button) to scroll through

them to ﬁnd the one you want to work with. You can also “drag” the

scene line left and right while holding your stylus on the active scene

(that’s the one highlighted in yellow). However you do it, once you

have found and selected a scene, you have to ﬁll it with stuff!

adding content

Adding stuff to videos is easy. Tap one of the ﬁve icons at the top of

the Touch Screen (Music, Backdrop, Effects, Outﬁt, Posing) then tap

the arrows to scroll through your options. When you have found the

option you like, tap it to drop it into the scene.

The Music, Backdrop, Effect, whatever you have added will continue

through the following scenes – unless you change it to something else

later. Then that option will continue to run unless you change it again.

There won’t be a whole lot of choices at ﬁrst, but don’t worry about it.

You will earn more as you ﬁnish tasks for Miley’s friends and Hannah’s

fans and as you ﬁnd them hidden around Malibu.

music

You can choose one of Hannah’s own tunes, one of your own saved

compositions (learn more about making your own below) or you can

edit a song from your saved list.

backdrop

Backdrops add to the overall feel of your Music Video. Try to choose

backdrops that match the mood and tone of the song. Some include

a choice of video clips that you can add to the scene as well.

effects

Effects include a fog machine and spotlights of various colors and

patterns. Use the Arrows to scroll through your choices, then tap an

icon to select.

outt

Choosing Hannah’s outﬁt for a music video is similar to choosing her

outﬁt in a Change Station. You can choose from an assortment of

outﬁts, or you can enter the Change Station (tap the icon) and create

something new to wear just for the occasion.

Disney Interactive Studios |HM2 – Music JAM! |DS Manual |MECH | 09.06.07

pose

What’s a video without cool dance moves and dramatic poses?

It’s not one featuring Hannah Montana!

Poses are divided into three categories – Basic, Guitar, and Advanced.

As with other parts of your video, you can scroll through your choices

until you ﬁnd just the right pose, then select it by tapping it.

playing your video, scoring, and saving

After you have chosen your video’s music and everything else, tap

PLAY to view it. If the music video is part of the Music Jam Online

competition, you probably want to check Hannah’s score –

and see how well Savannah’s video did. Tap the Progress icon

to check both Hannah’s score and Savannah’s score. If Hannah’s

latest effort is falling short, try adding more elements for an even

higher score.

On the Touch Screen beneath the score, you can Save the Video, Load

another Video, Continue Editing the current video and try to pump up

its score, or Quit and return to Malibu.

mini-games

Miley has a lot to do, way too much to list here. But to give you an idea

of just how far she’ll go to win her friends back from Josie Moore (and

how far Hannah will go to top Savannah Starr on the charts) here’s a

look at a few of her more interesting tasks. Once you have completed

these tasks, they will be available as Mini-Games under Extras on the

Main Menu.

photo shoot

Being a pop star means lots of time in front of the camera, ﬁnding

just the right pose. Tap the pose (or its color) on the Touch Screen

that matches the same color silhouette on the Top Screen just as

the silhouette lines up behind Hannah and the camera shutter snaps.

Timing is key!

art project

Miley’s helping out with the United People’s Relief Fund. Her job is

creating posters and your job is dropping shapes onto a poster to

create an image that looks like the one in the example. Drag the

shapes across the Touch Screen and arrange them into a pattern

that matches the one you are trying to create.

Disney Interactive Studios |HM2 – Music JAM! |DS Manual |MECH | 09.06.07

pizza maker

Hannah and Savannah are in a race to the top of the…pizza charts?

Okay…just go with it. It’s a pizza making race.

When a pizza ticket appears on the Top Screen, tap the dough into

shape on the Touch Screen, spin the dough into a circle, drag the

ladle across the Touch Screen to add sauce (once enough sauce has

been added, cheese will automatically be sprinkled onto the pizza);

and, ﬁnally, top it with the right toppings by tapping them as they ﬂy

across the screen.

ice skating

You already knew Miley was an accomplished musician, but did you

know she’s also a talented ice skater? Well she is, but she needs your

help to pull off the tricky moves.

To get Miley up to speed, swipe the white bars on the Touch Screen.

Then, when she’s racing along, look for patterns on the ice beneath

Miley’s skates. When one appears, trace the shape you see on the

Touch Screen. If you do well, you’ll earn Combo Stars, which let you

attempt a series of three-move patterns. And if you don’t trace the

patterns well? That ice sure is slippery!

locker lady

Oliver has taught Miley most of his locker-cracking tricks. Now she

can help her friends bust their books out of their stuck-shut lockers.

To crack a lock, tap the Touch Screen with the stylus and listen. Low,

hollow sounds mean a key is hidden far from the tap. High, solid

sounds mean a key is close. You only get a few taps, so tap wisely.

When you actually tap on the locker a colored circle will appear – the

more orange the color gets, the closer you are to unlocking it. If a big

circle of blue or purple appears, you are far from unlocking the locker.

Some locks require you to ﬁnd just a key or two, but others require

you to ﬁnd a whole key-chain’s worth!

RC car racing

After Miley delivers an RC Race Car to Oliver, she gets to race it

herself!

Use the +Control Pad to steer left and right. Press the A Button to

speed up and press the B Button to brake. Collect as many stars as

you can while staying on the track and away from orange cones. If

you hit too many cones, or if you don’t ﬁnish before the timer runs out,

you’ll have to try again.

voice coach

Hannah’s voice is already sensational, but with Savannah Starr on the

rise, she needs to keep it in top form.

When you start a voice lesson, musical notes will fall toward the

Touch Screen and the paddle below. As you sing the song into the

microphone, the paddle moves left or right, depending on your pitch.

To move the paddle left, sing in a lower pitch. To move right, sing in a

higher pitch. The more notes you catch, the higher your

score. If you want to catch all of them, sing in the same pitch and

rhythm as the tune. You can Preview a tune before you sing it for real.

When you’re ready to belt it out, tap Start.

quiet voice lessons

Maybe you’re having a bad voice day, or maybe you’re at the library

and you just can’t sing right now. No problem. Just tap the Switch icon

and switch off the microphone. Instead of moving the paddle with your

voice, you can move it with your stylus. Tap the paddle and hold onto

it, then drag it back and forth to catch falling stars.

Tap the Switch icon again to turn the microphone back on. It will be

ready to go when you start your next number.

makingtunes

Making tunes is a lot like music practice, except you can record your

notes and beats, and add, remove, or edit your saved tracks. Oh, and

you don’t have to hit the notes as they fall from the top screen – you

can hit them whenever you want! Select New Tune to create a new

tune. Select Edit Tune to add new tracks or edit existing tracks on a

New tunes always begin with the rhythm guitar track. Once you have

the rhythm guitar track saved, then you can add bass guitar, lead

guitar, and drum tracks.

chord sets

When playing a rhythm guitar

track you can choose the chords

you want to play. Tap a Chord Set

icon to include that set. Each set

includes ﬁve chords and you can

choose three Chord Sets altogether.

That’s a lot of chords! When you

have chosen your three Chord Sets,

tap the Next arrow to move on to the Metronome Beat Menu.

(that’s the speed of the beat): Slow, Medium, or Fast. You can choose

Metronome Beat for the rhythm guitar but for drums, YOU set the tune

With the tune speed set, it’s time to play! Tap the Chord Set icons on

the left to activate some chords and to see how to press the +Control

Pad (or the A, B, X, YButtons if you’re a strumming lefty) to play

them. Then strum all of the strings, or individual strings (or ﬂick or tap

them, depending on the instrument) to make some music.

When you change Chord Sets for the rhythm guitar, Chord Sets for

bass and lead guitars will be the same – you don’t have to change

Chord Sets for those instruments and your music will sound that

much better!

When you’re ready to lay down a track, tap RECORD. To stop

recording, tap STOP. To listen to your recording, tap PLAY. If it

sounds great, tap the Next arrow to save the track and choose

another instrument, if you like. If it doesn’t sound great, record

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection allows multiple Disney Hannah

Montana: Music Jam owners to play together over the internet–

even when separated by long distances.

• To play Nintendo DS games over the internet, you must ﬁrst set up the Nintendo Wi-Fi

Connection (Nintendo WFC) on your Nintendo DS system. Please see the separate

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection instruction booklet included with this game for directions

on setting up your Nintendo DS.

• To complete the Nintendo WFC setup, you will also need access to a PC that has a

wireless network device installed (such as a wireless router) and an active broadband

or DSL internet account.

• If you do not have a wireless network device installed on your PC, you can order a

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (sold separately) directly from Nintendo. See the separate

Nintendo WFC instruction booklet for more information.

• Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection game play uses more battery power than other game play.

You may prefer to use the AC Adapter to prevent running out of power when using the

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

• You can also play Nintendo WFC compatible games at selected internet hotspots without

additional setup.

• The Terms of Use Agreement which governs Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection game play

is available in the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection instruction booklet or online at

www.nintendowiﬁ.com/terms.

For additional information on the Nintendo WFC, setting up your Nintendo DS, or a list of

available internet hotspots, visit www.nintendowiﬁ.com (USA, Canada and Latin America)

or call 1-800-895-1672 (USA/Canada only).

The nickname you use will be seen by others when playing multiplayer games using

Nintendo WFC.

To protect your privacy, do not give out personal information such as last name, phone

number, birth date, age, e-mail or home address when communicating with others.
