Hi, and welcome to my Katekyo Hitman Reborn FAQ. You're free to use this guide
for personal use, and if you feel like reproducing it elsewhere, ask for
permission first (it's common courtesy) or else I'll shoot you with my "denying
will" bullet! Just like that.

|1. Introduction |
 ----------------

This game is based on Katekyo Hitman Reborn, a manga series about Tsuna, a boy
who, against his own will, gets trained to become the 10th boss of the Vongola
family by Reborn, an internationally famous hitman especialist in the
"dying will" bullet.

Let's go!

 --------------
|2. Game modes |
 --------------

In the title screen, the first time you play you'll see the Story Mode and the
Demo Mode. After that, the option to Continue your saved game and the Casino
will be added.

The Demo Mode allows a friend with another DS to see a sample of the game
(three minigames).
Its main use is to unlock the episodes 33, 36 and 41; to do that, you have to
follow these steps:
-On the first DS, put Reborn's game and go to the Demo Mode, and then tap any of
 the 3 minigames.
-On the second DS, power it on without a game and go to "DS Download Play" (the
 one besides the Pictochat). Wait until a Reborn option apears, and tap on it.
 Wait again and the minigame will start. 
-After the first DS goes back to the screen with the 3 minigames, you can turn
 off the second DS and start over. The second, the fifth and the tenth time you
 do that you'll receive a wanted poster.

 --------------
|3. Story Mode |
 --------------

In the story mode, you'll go through various episodes, completing different
tests (mini-games) in order to proceed. These tests are categorized by "types"
in the game, tests of each type becoming more difficult as you go on (note that
my description of each "type" is not a direct translation, since I don't know
japanese).
If you lose at any of them, you'll have the option to continue, but to do that
you must draw circles with the stylus until the energy bar fills up.
