Troubleshooting

Game not loading or crashing.

Ensure your Nintendo Switch system software is up to date. Try restarting your console and relaunching the game. If the issue persists, consider redownloading the game from the eShop or checking the game card for damage if applicable.

Controls feel unresponsive or incorrect.

Access the game's settings menu to customize control mappings. Ensure your Joy-Con controllers or Pro Controller are properly connected and charged. Try recalibrating your controllers via the Nintendo Switch system settings.

Poor performance or frame rate drops.

Close other applications running in the background on your Nintendo Switch. Ensure the console is not overheating; allow it to cool down if necessary. The game is designed to run smoothly, so significant drops may indicate a system issue rather than a game fault.
