In Multi-player mode, you can draw or invite other players to create drawings together. Only one player can draw at a time. Activities 9 When one player is holding down the Write button and drawing on the pad, it will appear on the other players' LCD screens. During this time, the on screen cursor of the other players will disappear indicating they are not able to draw. Once the player who is drawing releases the Write button, then the other players will have a chance to draw, and the cursor will re-appear on their screens.

If you'd like to erase the drawing all at once, hold the Erase button and press the OK button. Other players will also see the drawing being erased from their screen at the same time. Other players will not be able to erase until the first player releases the Erase button and the cursor re-appears on their screens. You can create, send or receive messages in this activity.
