Mingle Mode

From The World Ends With You

Mingle Mode is selected from the cellphone menu. During this mode:

• Nintendo DS's that are also running Mingle Mode will exchange "ESP'er" contacts, and grant you access to the ESP'er's shop from which you may purchase some of their items. Each ESP'er is worth 50 MPP. Also, if you mingle with an ESP'er, you gain some bravery.
• Nintendo DS's running any other games with wireless communications (including Pictochat, but not DS Download) will add "Civvies" contact, but have no special value. Coming across a DS Download Station in certain stores or using the Wii's Nintendo Channel to send a DS demo while in Mingle Mode will trigger a Civvie contact. Also, some games on the Wii that take advantage of using a DS in any way (such as Pokemon Battle Revolution's ability to transfer items to the DS and use it as a controller) may count as Civvies too. Each Civvie is worth 20 MPP.
• Some other wireless noise may generate "Alien" contacts, although it is widely believed that Aliens are a random occurrence that is not affected by other wireless devices (ie: for those people living way out in the countryside with little to no access to friends with DSs.) As far as has been tested, wireless devices such as cellphones, Wii Remotes, the PSP Browser, and wireless PC Routers will not trigger Alien contacts. Each Alien is worth 100 MPP.

All the points gained during Mingle Mode are added to the player's equipped deck, but those points are lost if the battery dies during wireless communications. For this reason the game includes a setting to automatically quit Mingle Mode should the battery begin to run too low.
