When a selected characterin possession of a ballenters a centering area, a button switch imagefor 'centering' is displayed on a second LCDprovided with a touch panel. If the player touches the button switch image, the selected charactermakes a 'centering' pass. The target point for the centering pass varies depending on which portion of the button switch imagethe player touches.

This adds variety to the action of a player object by a simple operation, thereby making the game more fun.
