To navigate through the game, use the control icons which can be accessed by 
pressing RIGHT or LEFT when the character is in downtime animation mode. To 
choose from all of the different things you can do with your Neopet, you first need 
to know what the different icons mean. These will allow you to control what you 
and your Neopet do, and when you do it.

DICE
Lets you play games.
SHOP
Lets you buy food, toys and Petpets for your Neopet.
BANK
Lets you check your NeoPoint balance.
SLEEP
Lets you put your Neopet to rest, or wake it up.
First, the aim of the game is to gain as many trophies as possible, earn NeoPoints 
and get the highest Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels possible. This is 
done by playing games and earning NeoPoints so you can 
buy cool items for your Neopet. 
PORTS
There are three ports below the screen that allow 
rapid access to the Gaming (     Dice), Feeding 
(    Food) and Doctor (     Hospital) modes. Just insert 
the bottom of the Neopet into the port to activate.
AISHA FACE
Here you can scroll through all the different 
bio information of your Neopet. You can check 
on its height, weight, personality, etc. Just press     &     to scroll 
through the information. 
BOOK
Here you can check the status of your Neopet's Health, Happiness 
and Intelligence levels. These levels are affected by how you play and  
treat your Neopet. Feeding and sleeping on time make the Neopet's 
Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels go up. Toys and Petpets 
affect the Neopet's Happiness and Intelligence.
Lack of sleep, feeding and interaction (with Petpets and toys) will 
make your Neopet's levels drop, which may cause your Neopet to 
leave you.
TROPHIES
Three of the four games in this toy allow you to play for Trophies that 
you can earn at three different levels. You have to gain a certain score 
in a specific level to get the trophy. In Techo Says, 900 NeoPoints is 
needed to get a promotion, 900 NeoPoints for a Negg Drop and 180 
NeoPoints for Poogle Race.
For example, if the NeoPoints gained on Techo Says level one 
accumulated to 900 NeoPoints, you can get the third place trophy of 
Techo Says and reach level two. You need to gain 900 NeoPoints in 
level two in order to get the second place trophy of Techo Says and 
promote to level three. If you win another 900 NeoPoints in level three, 
you will win the first place trophy for Techo Says.
When all three first place trophies have been achieved, you will 
receive a Rare Item Code that can be viewed in the Trophy section. 
Type this code into the www.neopets.com/code page to receive a 
special item that is unique to people who have completed this 
part of the game.
 
FOOD
Your Neopet needs to be fed regularly (three times per day) so you 
must remember to give it food. First, you must purchase the food 
items from the food store, which will automatically store the items in 
the Burlap Sack. You can, however, access the food directly by 
pressing ENTER when the FOOD icon is highlighted. This will take 
you to the list of food items you have purchased. 
To select something to eat, toggle down the items (allowing them to 
scroll across the screen so you can read the whole word). When the 
one you want to feed to your Neopet is highlighted, press ENTER and 
the screen will ask "DO YOU WANT TO USE?". Select YES to
