For the Alice in Wonderland DS Game, How Do You Use the Caterpillar?

In Disney's animated movie Alice in Wonderland, the caterpillar is a pivotal character that helps Alice escape her nonsensical and sometimes frightful dream world. The caterpillar also had a role in the non-animated film released in 2010, directed by Tim Burton. In the same year, Nintendo partnered with Disney to release a video game inspired by the Tim Burton movie for the Nintendo DS handheld game console. Characters played in the game include the caterpillar, named Absolem, along with the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat.
