How to Button Mash on the DS

Whether you defeat the evil lord or become a mortality statistic may depend on your arm speed. For circumstances where you need to repeat an action rapidly, such as firing a weapon, gamers use a technique called the button mash. This technique presses a button in rapid succession over an extended period of time. Many gamers move their fingers up and down as quickly as possible; but to achieve super speeds, you must involve your whole forearm.

     Place your middle finger and your thumb together above the button.

     Move your forearm (not your wrist) up and down in as small and fast a stroke as possible, hitting the button with your middle finger.
