Required to Collect All the Badges

If you are aiming to collect every Badge (trophy) in the game, playing through Mission Mode is required. There are many difficult conditions to clear in Mission Mode, so first completing the main story missions in Story Mode is recommended.

Collect Treasure!

Transporting Treasure is the Main Task of this Mode
