[edit] Story
Upon booting up the game, the player is introduced to the "Star Sweep", an elderly man who searches the universe for treasures, with aid of a robot named the "Wish Finder". The Star Sweep's ship crash-lands on Earth and the player is asked to refill the ship with stardust (its tank must be full before exiting Earth). The Wish Finder is tasked with helping the player, and it is revealed that it is a highly advanced robot with the ability to change various parts.
[edit] Gameplay
The game utilises Wi-Fi signals from the player's surroundings to "pick up" stardust and treasures. These treasures can then be used to form musical arrangements, customise the Wish Finder, or change the environment of the game. Stardust is not only used to refill the empty tank of the ship; the Star Sweep will give players treasures in return for 20 units of stardust, and 10 when the full moon appears. This changes with the DS's internal clock.
