==Gameplay==

To clear Orbs from the Orb field, the player must match three or more horizontally or vertically. The player drags an Orb with {{button|3ds|stylus}} to adjacent positions, swapping with the Orb already there. As long as the player does not let go of the Orb, they can move it as much as necessary within five seconds once they start moving it, allowing them to arrange for Combos in a single turn. After completing this, all matched Orbs are removed from the Orb field and accounted for as damage to enemies. The Orb field then cascades all Orbs down and fills the Orb field once more; this may result in more Combos, known as "skyfall Combos".

===Branching paths===

During courses, player may occasionally encounter a branching path in a course, with two different colored Orbs hovering above each path, representing which Orb color the player needs to clear most of from the Orb field to take its path: for example, if the player wishes to take the path with a Fire Orb above it, they will need to clear more Fire Orbs than other Orb types to proceed. The player will remain at the branching path until they clear either Orb colors at that branching path, and the player's Skill counter will not decrease until they do so (the player can use Skills that change Orb types, however). What appears at the path can vary from signs, [[Warp Pipe]]s, to [[Gold Block]]s. Proceeding on a path with a sign allows the player to continue on the "main" path, while entering Warp Pipes takes them to different areas before returning to the main path. Gold Blocks in branching paths do not show which Orb type the player needs to clear most of, but clearing with the right Orb type will cause the Gold Block to produce a [[Beanstalk]], taking the player to another area. If the player clears the same amount of Orb types for a Gold Block as a Warp Pipe or a sign, the player automatically takes the path of the latter instead.
