As you fill these stamp sheets, Pretty Cure from other series also make appearences and will give you special items.

There are four settings in this game: The shop, work room, Town, and Fashion Show stage. Below is a list of each location, its features, and mini games. You can tell how well you did on a minigame by its border colors: Gold, Silver, or Bronze.

Shop
The shop is where the girls will have customers coming to make request. By tapping a character with an arrow mark above their head, they will make a request. For tips on how to make items, please see the section below this titled "Work Room". After so many customers, the shop gains 2 more advanced re-designs.

Besides this, there are 5 things to you can click/tap:
 * 1) Hanging sign next to the doors: This allows you to change the theme of the store. Each girl has one theme, fitting her personality. Tsubomi's is pink with flowers, Erika's is blue with mirrors, Itsuki's is yellow with stuffed animals, and Yuri's is purple with crystals.
 * 2) Mannequins: In the upper right corner, a mannequin (or two once the shop grows bigger) stand. They can be changed to wear any clothing you have unlocked/made.
 * 3) Door: In the upper left corner is a small door icon. When you click on it, you have the option to go into town, or to the Work room.
 * 4) Curtains: in the lower left corner, whenever you click the curtains you can pick the character you wish to dress up or play with. This character will make comments when you use them, and talk with you while making items or playing minigames.
 * 5) Heart/Chypre: after you get so many stamps, A big heart will be on the door, and Chypre will usually appear at the bottom of the screen while holding a letter. This means that a special guest has arrived and upon clicking the heart, they will appear and give you an item.

Dress up
As stated above, when you click the curtains you will be taken to a screen to choose one of the four girls. Once you made your selection, your taken to the dress up screen. On the side, a small body model appears that lets you click on 4 segments: Head, Torso, upper legs, and lower legs. By clicking the small basket like object in the lower left corner, you can pick from special costumes: Uniform, pink princess dress, blue bedtime attire, pink bunny, and kimono.

If you wish to view the outfit before you make your decision, click the mirror on the right side in order to see it. There you can change views, get a closer look and so forth. If you wish to delete/get rid of an outfit, then you must click the white and pink box in the center at the bottom of the screen. The item will then disappear forever from your inventory. Allowing you to make more of that item, should you have no more space.

Work Room
The work/sewing room is where Outfits get made. There are four minigames in total in this room, but a total of 7 clickable objects. The character you pick from the shopping screen will be shown on the top screen. The clickables are as followed:

Mini door: Like in the shop, the mini door in the upper left corner allows you to go into the shop, or outside.

Horn: A minigame that allows you to play music with the mascots! Chypre on horn, Coffret on Piano, and Potpourri with a tamborine. You can choose between two songs to play and it follows out like a typical rhythm game. On the bottom screen a music line is shown, whenever a music note reaches the inside of the red box/below the red arrow, you tap the mascot who has a spotlight over them.

Telescope: By the window is a telescope which allows you to play a minigame. The goal of this game is to tap the small stars that appear on screen, following a trace by number picture-format. Your score is determined on how well you avoid touching the objects trying to hit the star your tapping.

Notebook: On the desk is a book object that allows you to pick an image and color it! There is a total of 8 pictures to choose from: Erika and Tsubomi, Cure Blossom Cure Marine, Cure Sunshine, Cure Moonlight, Chypre Coffret and Potpourri, Coupe, and Dark Cure. Once you have made your selection you are taken to a black and white version of the image. On the right, from top to bottom is the following: Question mark/help, Paint brush size, pain colors, eraser, and a purple button that you tap when finished. You are judged by how well the image looks when you finish.

Bottle: A minigame in which you must move the bottle around collecting the right ingrediants, as indicated at the top of the screen in a heart shaped bubble/button. Four ingrediants are shown: Strawberries, banana, melon, and milk. After the ingrediants finish falling, you then use the DS pen to shake the bottle so that they mix.

Paint Can: In the bottom right corner, by clicking this you can change your name as well as the banner/sign that surrounds it. You can choose 9 of them in total: A heart with ribbons, red polka dot with thread and button, A sparkly purple frame with single ribbon, A pink fancy side hanging sign, thin green rectangle with flowers, Light blue lace/cloud with candy and donuts and cookies, pink and purple with gems and dress with heels, and gold with small corner stars.

Making outfits
Sewing Machine: The main Minigame of the entire game! This allows you to make outfits and items for your characters to wear, as well as customers. Once you click it you are shown a body with arrows pointing to each section:


 * Head: Three in total are to be chosen from. A hat, french/beret hat, and headband.

If you have too many of the body section, Chypre will appear to tell you this. In order to get rid of some please go to the changing room section in the above section.
 * Torso: You can choose from 2 tank tops, 4 dresses, and 4 long sleeved shirts or jackets.
 * Upper Leg: you can pick from 3 skirts, 1 pair of shorts, 1 knee pants, and a pair of jeans.
 * Lower legs/feet: 2 boots, 2 heels/sandles, and 1 pair of sneakers.

Once you select which piece you want, you must pick a pattern. Depending on what object and section picked, the patterns differ. Then you can pick a color, they usually are as followed: White, Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and black. But once again, they tend to differ.

Then you have to cut out the pattern by tracing it with your DS pen. Coffret will then go across the screen and you move to the next step: Sewing! To do this, you just follow the line with the machine. Depending on what you pick, the line will change directions, some being very straight, others being very curly. You can change the speed by moving the small blue button at the top of the screen.

After you sew the dress, you can decorate it as you please! Using things like ribbons/bows, hearts, flowers, and random jewelry pieces ranging from clovers to skulls to anchors to shooting stars and more. Once you pick, you can see how it looks and if you do not like it, click on the small door to go back and back another item. Once your happy, click the sparkling ball/circle in the bottom right corner.

Town
In town there are 9 minigames to choose from, and 2 fashion stages. Only one is chooseable at first, but as you play, you gain a bigger, secondary one on the other side of town. Whenever one of the locations is under an attack, you will see an icon with snackey's on it. To see how battles work, view the below section.

Mini games:

If you mess up then you have to pull the lever on the left side and you are only given 5 chances to complete the minigame.

There is five rounds of this minigame.
 * Crepes: A simple baking minigame. You circle the crepe to stretch out the pastry, then you must decorate it accordingly.

Battles
Battles work as they did in the previous game, however, it is much faster then previous. A star icon will appear, randing between 1 or 2 cures, when tapped, they will attack. Either by punching or kicking, or also unleashing their special attack.

The transformation screen and final attack screen depends on who you select.

Fashion Show
As stated above, two different stages exsist. They offer the same things, but with the second stage being bigger and more appealing, style-wise. First you select your character, then you can decide if she will be her normal form, or as her Cure self. If you click on a purple bow, where Yuri should be, then it will count as a special fashion show with all three girls taking turns. This is manditory to collect the silver heart emblem pieces that show up on the main menu by your profile.

This is rhythm-like as well. All you do is tap the yellow spheres that appear when the thin borders form its circle. On the top screen is a big heart, the point is to fill it for full points.

The stage will change depending on the song picked. From colors to small things that appear on the stage.
