Meteos: Disney Magic is played with your Nintendo DS system turned
sideways. If you’re right-handed, play the default way with the bottom
screen (Touch Screen) on your right and the top screen on your left. Or
switch to left-handed mode with the bottom screen (Touch Screen) on your
left and the top screen on your right by selecting Options on the Main menu.
Select Handedness and then click on Left. Flip your Nintendo DS around and
you’re ready to play!
Make your selections on the Touch Screen and then check the top screen to
see an explanation. Medals and high scores will be saved. Once you quit out
of story mode, you will have to start from the beginning to reach the stage
you were on.
Once you’re in a game screen, use your stylus to select and drag blocks
across the screen. Match three of the same blocks and a rocket-propelled
boost will send all the blocks you selected and the ones above them
into the air.

Special Blocks
Wild Blocks
Wild Blocks can be used as a substitute for any other block,
like the Joker in a deck of cards. Move a Wild Block next to
two blocks that are the same and all three blocks will launch
into the air!
Rocket Blocks
Double click a Rocket Block and you’ll launch three blocks in
a row – the Rocket Block and the blocks on either side of it,
no matter if they’re the same or not.
Replacing Blocks
Double click a Replacing Block to change all the blocks of a
single color into a different color! If you use Replacing Blocks
right, you can launch lots of blocks with ease!
10
Playing the Game
Play by using your stylus to slide
the stacked blocks one at a time
up and down or right and left.
Match three or more of the same
block vertically or horizontally to
launch the blocks upward. If the
blocks get launched all the way
to the top of the screen, they turn
into magical abilities that can
help your Disney friends.
The more blocks you try to launch, the heavier they get, and it gets harder
to launch them off the screen. Once blocks have been launched into the air,
try lining up even more blocks to make them all shoot up higher. If you line
up rows of matching blocks while other blocks are already in flight, the
whole stack launches even farther!
SPECIAL GAUGE
You can use your special ability to help clear
the screen even faster. Wait until the Special
Gauge is full, and then click the gauge to
launch your special ability!

12
Special abilities
To use Special Abilities, wait for your Special Gauge to get filled
up. The gauge fills as you play through the game. When it’s full,
touch the gauge to use one of three Special Abilities. Each stage
uses a different special ability, so be sure to know which one you’re
activating when you touch the Special Gauge. In Story Mode, you
cannot choose which ability to use. In other modes, you will be given
the option to choose which one to use.
11
Nitro Boost
Touch the Special Gauge to activate Nitro Boost and your blocks
will launch with much more force. Watch out for the ‘B’ to appear
on the Special Gauge.
Slow Mode
When you activate Slow Mode, the blocks move a lot slower so
you can match more of them. Watch out for the ‘S’ to appear on
the Special Gauge.
Horizontal Block Movement
On the levels where you can’t move the blocks horizontally
(in Expert difficulty), activate this Special Ability to move the blocks
side to side. Watch out for the ‘H’ to appear on the Special Gauge.
