Control

Analog Stick: Movement

Direction Pad: Camera Zoom

Start Button: Pause

X Button: Raise the landscape

X + Y Buttons together: Easily level the surrounding landscape (can be performed after growing large enough)

R Trigger: Take a picture

L Trigger: Transform between Doshin and Jyashin (Love and Hate Giants)

B Button: Jump

When playing as Doshin (Love Giant)

A Button: Grab and lift object in front of you

A Button: If no object is present in front of you, pressing the A button makes you grab and hoist up the landscape. This can be more convenient than Doshin’s raising power, but you can only do it really effectively after growing larger. Pressing down on the analog stick repeats the tugging process.

When playing as Jyashin (Hate Giant)

A Button: Double-fisted Smash Punch

A Button while walking: Throw a fireball

Advanced Control Notes

Under the default control option (see Options Menu), you must hold the A Button to keep from setting down whatever you are holding. However, if you begin walking you don’t need to continue holding the A button; you will only set down your object when you cease moving. To keep from dropping it when you cease moving, simply press and hold the A Button before you stop.

The secondary option allows you pick up an object by pressing the A Button and continue carrying it indefinitely. When you want to put it down, press the A Button again.

When playing as Jyashin, you can jump much higher than Doshin and control your movement in midair thanks to the Hate Giant’s wings.
