Tag Mode

Phantom Hourglass uses Tag Mode to swap ship parts and treasures via Nintendo DS 'tagging'. To tag another system, both DS's must be in Phantom Hourglass's Tag Mode at the same time. The tag will be automatic.

Freedle of Mercay Island has boxes set up. Each player can put an item in any box and speak with Freedle to open Tag Mode. When you receive a new treasure the magic boxes containing it will bulge and wiggle. From this point, simply open the boxes to claim your new treasures.

A Tag Mode battle is also possible in two manners. As DS Download Play (2 DS systems and 1 gamepak), battle data will not be recorded. 2 DS sytems and 2 gamepaks may 'tag' one another and play Battle Mode; results will be recorded.

Due to the fact that Tag Mode utilizes the DS's wireless capabilities, Tag Mode will drain your battery faster than normal playing.
