Gameplay

The gameplay is somewhat similar to Doodle Hex in form of dueling with magic. Players will fight it out in a stage on the top screen, while the person using the 3DS will be drawing signs to cast spells on the bottom screen. The aim of the game is to defeat opponents by getting there Health Points bar down to nothing. To do this you must cast lots of different spells and make combo attacks. Players in story mode will travel Mushroom Kingdom areas and seek rivals or shops to buy spells! Spells include the Ink Squirt Spell, Bob-Omb Blast Spell, Green Shell Shot Spell and lots more! There are also Fused Spells which are forming two spells into a completely new one, such as if putting the Bob-Omb Blast spell with the Ink Squirt spell you would get the Inksplosion Spell, these moves are very special because you must find a Mage who can fuuse spells, you will also get a sign to draw to cast the spell. Toadsworth, also manages a shop, where you can buy potions, these potions being bought then can be used at any time in battle even when used once! Unlike the Doodle Hex game, this game lacks the pets, but brings a new mode of Team Duel and Tag Duel where players will work in teams.
