When the forces of good, evil, and everything in between clash in a battle of epic proportions, there's only one place for the fight to unfold: on your Nintendo DS. The world of Jump Superstars is a world of absolute insanity, combining characters from Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Steel Ball Run, and many, many more popular Japanese comics. Unfortunately for us in the west, the world of Jump Superstars is reserved exclusively for those in Japan.

Unless! The amazing battle is available to DS owners 'round the world daring enough import Jump Superstars. The game is very heavy on Japanese text, leaving us English speaking heathens with just the surface of the game to explore. That is, until we here at IGN crafted this complete Jump Superstars guide to get you around the hurdles of a massive language barrier.

At the Menu screen press L or R to change the color of the ink you use to draw with on the bottom screen.

As you play through the mission mode, you'll unlock various cards that you can use for forming your own battle deck. Some of these cards will come incomplete, and they'll have open slots that need to be filled. Fill these slots with the single-tile character cards in order to make use of the larger cards.

Finding the right single-tile card to fit into the larger card can sometimes be a pain, but there's a trick to make it easier. First, find out how many tiles make up the larger card you want to complete (usually 3-5). On the card selection screen, select the button on the top menu (fourth column) that displays only the cards with the number of tiles that make up your chosen card. Scroll down to select that card (the incomplete cards are labeled with a purple badge) and place it in your deck.

Back out to the card list and then press the top menu button that restricts the card list to a particular team (second column). Pressing this button should remove all cards from the list temporarily. However, if you press the top menu button (fourth column) to disable the tile-count restriction you'll be left with a list of cards that match the team of the incomplete card in your deck. This leaves you with just a few single-tile cards to try out, eliminating a lot of fuss when trying to complete the "empty" cards.

When making a deck with at least 1 battle character, 1 support character, and 1 help character, press START while holding a direction on the D-PAD to change the color.
