After you successfully play the GuitarAction Riff, you will return to Story Mode where
you can see the impact of the Guitar Action Riff.
Guitar Action Riffs
All three JONAS band members can playAmped and Reverb. You can help each
brother learn their own special Guitar Action Riffs as the game progresses.
Amped
Amped gives other characters, including fans, a boost of energy and activates
some objects.
Reverb
Reverb causes some machines, such as escalators and conveyor belts, to run
backwards.
Kevin’s Special Guitar Action Riffs
Distortion
Kevin can use this Guitar Action Riff to distort or change something about an
object. Try this GuitarAction Riff to wedge open locked gates.
Cover
This GuitarAction Riff makes Kevin invisible to his fans. While invisible, Kevin
can only walk or jog.
Joe’s Special Guitar Action Riffs
Power Slide
With the Power Slide GuitarAction Riff, Joe can slide under low ledges and other
obstacles. Plus, he’s invulnerable while the Guitar Action Riff is in effect.
Charm
When fans are just too close, Joe’s Charm Guitar Action Riff leaves them “star
struck” and temporarily unable to move. Use this to escape from fans.
Nick’s Special Guitar Action Riff
Power Chord
Nick’s Power Chord grants him the ability to jump extra, extra high.
JONAS Guitar Action Riff

Guitar Action Riff Effect
A Guitar Action Riff effect will last as long as part of the JONAS Power Meter remains
blue. When the meter runs out, the effect ends.
Tap the Guitar Pick icon to stop a Guitar Action Riff at any time. If you do so before the
JONAS Power Meter runs out, you can save some JONAS Power for later use.

Music Performances
JONAS band members can obviously play more than simple guitar riffs –they perform
the hottest hits for their fans!
Perform on the Guitar
Watch the +Control Pad icons as they fall from the top of the Touch Screen and
across the guitar strings. As the icons cross the strings, press the corresponding “note”
on your +Control Pad (Left, Right, Up, or Down), and strum or tap the strings as the
icons pass the marker.
To clear a song and advance to the next episode, fill the bar until the lighting on the set
changes color.
Choose Performance from the Story Mode menu to play a song you have cleared
whenever you like. You can replay a song at higher difficulty levels to really test your
chops.
The JONAS Fans
The JONAS band members have a ton of fans. Most of the time adoring fans are great
to have, but sometimes they get a little over-enthusiastic. Excited fans will try to steal a
piece of clothing, which causes unexpected wear and tear on the band members'
outfits.
When the JONAS band members are out and about, keep an eye open for fans and try
to maintain some distance. Once a band member has been noticed, run! And if running
doesn't work, tap the guitar pick icon and distract fans with a Guitar Action Riff so you
can make your getaway.
Fashion
The JONAS band members are keenly aware that clothes make the man. Not only must
their outfits be stylish, they must also be in good condition. With so many fans wanting
to snatch a piece of their clothing, it's no surprise that their outfits endure so much wear
and tear. Fortunately, outfits can be exchanged and repaired. To do so, just visit the
Stellavator in the Firehouse Loft.

Change Clothes
Once in the Stellavator, you put together an outfit by choosing pieces from four
categories: Shirts, Pants, Shoes, and Accessories. Tap a category to review your
options and then drag and drop an icon onto the avatar to wear it.
Repair Clothing
When a piece of clothing has taken too much wear and tear, visit the Stellavator and
make it look like new again.
Collectibles
The JONAS band members find musical inspiration almost everywhere. Look for objects
that appear to have black music notes floating out of them. Tap those objects on the
Touch Screen to release the musical notes hidden inside.
Collect the blue notes to fill the JONAS Power meter.
Gold hearts are the most precious collectible of all. Collect these from JONAS band
member fans after performing the Amped GuitarAction Riff. Trade gold hearts at Misa’s
Pieces in exchange for clothing and special items.
Saving the Game
Your Disney JONAS game saves automatically after important milestones and key
story events. You can also save at anytime by visiting the Smoothie Stations in the
game and following the on screen prompts.
