The game is meant to be played by holding the [[niwanetwork:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] sideways. Left-handers have an option to change the position of the visual gameplay to allow easier playing. The game primarily uses the Touch Screen. The controls, just like every other game in the series, are very basic. There are four main mechanics used, both for all of the [[Rhythm Game]] available to play and just getting around the game itself. These controls are tapping, holding, sliding and flicking, in addition to the 🄻 and 🅁 buttons that are used in exclusively [[Rockers 2]]. The Start button is used to pause during a [[Rhythm Game]]. | The game is meant to be played by holding the [[niwanetwork:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] sideways.
