How to Use the Djinn in 'Patapon 3'

"Patapon 3" is part of a series of rhythm-action games for the Sony PlayStation Portable handheld video game console. Each of the four buttons on the right side of the PSP corresponds to a different drum beat. By pressing specific onscreen button combinations, the player controls the game troops, allowing them to move forward, attack, retreat, and so on. The game also features a Fever Meter, which allows players to summon magical creatures called Djinn. These creatures are indispensable to your arsenal, and integral to winning the game.
