Palette rotation
A round can now change palette as you level up. With a rotation on, each level is drawn in its own
palette. Levels 0 to 9 each have one, and level 10 starts the cycle again.
Press Up on the Palette screen to open the rotation screen. Its rotation selector picks off,
one of the three built-in rotations (hotter, colder and rainbow), or one of your own.
Above the selector, the ten levels show the four colors each one uses. Hold Select to see the seven
pieces, the text and the brick wall in one level's palette. While Select is held, the arrows step the
level.
edit rotation opens the rotation editor. Its preset selector picks a built-in rotation or one of
ninety-nine slots, and load preset, save preset and clear preset act on it, asking first
wherever a change can't be taken back. Loading a built-in rotation is how to start one of your own.
Below the presets, each level shows the number of the palette it uses. Press A on a level to change
its palette:
- Left and Right step one palette at a time, through the built-in palettes and then your saved ones.
- Up and Down step ten at a time.
- A keeps the change and B puts the old palette back.
Saving asks for a name of up to seven characters. Hold Select in the editor to see the selected
level's palette with the level shown at the top.
Only the round itself changes palette. The menus and settings stay in the palette you chose on the
Palette screen. While a rotation is on, the settings screen shows (rotating) under palette.
Digits in top-score names
A new switch, name digits on the enhancements 2 page, lets the top-score name entry use the
digits 0 to 9. They come after the letters and symbols on the wheel. The reset rows move to
enhancements 3. Off by default.
Also
Holding Left or Right on the Palette screen now steps through the palettes on its own.
Existing settings, top scores and custom palettes carry forward untouched. Rotation is off until you
turn it on.
