  The core challenge lies in the rhythm-based ballroom dances, where you use the stylus on the touch screen or directional prompts in classic emulators, like pressing Z and X keys to match the prince's lead during waltzes and sambas for a high score.
• Branching Romance Narratives
  Your choices in conversation and dance performance directly sway the affections of suitors, from the serious Sieger to the gentle Lawrence, deciding which of the multiple story endings you'll achieve by the grand finale at the Star Palace.
