Gameplay[]
In this side-scrolling fighting game, the player guides Cure Black and Cure White through several stages filled with Zakennas. Both characters are active at the same time. The player can select which character to control before starting, and the other will be computer-controlled. Enemies are defeated with punches and kicks. Both characters can punch and kick, but Cure Black specializes in rapid punches and Cure White in kick combos. Hitting enemies slowly fills a heart gauge at the top of the screen. When the gauge is full, a special combined attack together with Shiny Luminous can be performed, which eliminates all Zakennas on screen (or, in boss battles, does a lot of damage). At the end of every stage is a boss battle against Zakennas also seen in the anime. Boss battles are ended with either Marble Screw Max or Extreme Luminario.
Two difficulty levels, easy and normal, are available. On easy difficulty, health restoration items are more plentiful, enemies are easier to defeat, and the uncontrolled character is more active.
When Cure Black or Cure White is knocked back in battle and the other is standing behind her, she catches her partner and her health is restored a little bit. If the health of one of them is depleted, the other can help her up again, which heals her completely (this can only be done twice).
After completing the story for the first time, Shiny Luminous is added as a playable character. The player can then choose any two of the three girls before starting each stage. Shiny Luminous plays a little differently than the other two. Whereas Cure Black and Cure White use regular attacks, Shiny Luminous uses a force field which is both a weak attack and defense. Also, instead of the combo attacks used by the other two, Shiny Luminous attacks with an energy blast that looks somewhat like Heartiel Action. This energy blast hurts Zakennas instead of freezing them, and also heals the other girls if they stand in its path. Both the force field and energy blast are slow actions, which makes Shiny Luminous quite vulnerable in battles against multiple Zakennas.
There are three minigames: frying takoyaki at the Tako Cafe, mixing colored liquids at the science club, and shooting at the goal in lacrosse. To play the minigames, the player needs to collect the Pollun dolls that appear in the main game. One doll is expended each time a minigame is played. If one of the two Game Boy Advance Pretty Cure games (Futari wa Pretty Cure: Ariena~i! Yume no Sono wa Daimeikyuu and Futari Wa Pretty Cure Max Heart: Maji? Maji!? Fight de IN Janai) is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, a fourth minigame is added to the selection: finding Fuji-P in a crowd.
Finally, there is also a notebook with all the pictures and videos seen in story mode. These are added to the notebook after finishing each stage.
