How to Play Franklin's Great Adventures
Quick start
From the Main Menu choose Story mode with the D-Pad and A. Explore Woodland as Franklin and follow the on-screen directional arrow to the person or place needed for the next story event; you may wander, but only the arrow’s objective advances the adventure. Help residents and give presents to raise their Friendship gauges. Before each mini-game, read its own instructions: winning it unlocks that activity in Mini-games mode, where it can be replayed for a better result.
Controls
Use the D-Pad to navigate menus and move around Woodland; A selects or interacts, while B returns to the previous menu. Mini-games deliberately change the action: the D-Pad positions objects, the cart, brush or rake, and A places or picks objects, colours areas, pedals, fills sails or keeps the kite aloft as instructed. In the skateboard game A jumps and Down ducks. Follow the instruction card shown before every activity because not every mini-game uses the same inputs.
