Download Play

Download Play is an application and feature of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS that allows players to locally and wirelessly download content from other systems. The feature is specifically known as DS Download Play when Nintendo DS content is involved and Nintendo 3DS Download Play when Nintendo 3DS content is involved.

Overview
The main purpose of Download Play is to allow for local Multiplayer gaming using only a single copy of the supported games. To use it, players without a copy of the game they wish to join must launch the built-in Download Play application on their Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS, while the "host" player launches the game itself and selects the Download Play mode within. The game will transmit a temporary copy of itself to the other player(s) which remains on their console until it is powered off, allowing them to play freely with the host player. Due to memory limitations, some gameplay features may be absent during Download Play.

In, Battle Mode can be played between two players through Download Play. The host player's rank is not affected during Download Play.

In, Battle Mode can be played with up to four players through Download Play. The host player's rank may change during Download Play.

In, three players can play cooperatively through Download Play; the Coliseum battle mode is not supported.

Download Play in comes with numerous limitations for the joining player(s). While the process of unlocking NaN Levels, NaN Drablands Challenges, and NaN Outfits is the same as in the full game, the NaN Linkss are bound to the Multiplayer lobby in TFH:. Therefore, several NaN Outfits are unavailable due to Download Play not allowing for certain unlocking conditions to be met, or certain NaN Materials to be collected. Orders for custom NaN Outfits must be placed with TFH: within the lobby; however, as TFH: is slower at tailoring than TFH: herself, the TFH: will not be completed until the NaN Linkss return from the next TFH: they visit, and he is only willing to craft up to two NaN Outfits for each joining TFH:, besides the TFH: they wear by default.

The TFH: cannot be unlocked or selected by the joining NaN Linkss, but it can still be played by allowing the "host" TFH: to select it. The joining NaN Linkss also cannot collect NaN Hero Points or NaN Friendly Tokens, obtain the TFH: to take screenshots, or view information about TFH:'s NaN Materials or NaN Freebies, and all of the game's music is replaced with the 8-bit versions normally heard by wearing the TFH:. The joining NaN Linkss can, however, have their progress and collected items saved automatically, and resume this progress the next time they join via Download Play. This progress will also be carried over to the full game, should they acquire it.
