Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon an information processing program which causes a computer of an information processing apparatus which controls display of a virtual object located in a virtual space to at least: in a first state, display a first virtual object having a three-dimensional shape in the virtual space and control movement of the first virtual object based on movement instructions received from an input device, wherein in the first state a region where the first virtual object is moveable in the virtual space is restricted to a first region; in a second state, display a second virtual object different from the first virtual object and having a planar shape in the virtual space and control movement of the second virtual object, wherein in the second state a region where the second virtual object is movable in the virtual space is restricted to a second region different from the first region, when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the first state, (1) switch from displaying the first virtual object, having the three-dimensional shape in the virtual space, on the first region to displaying the second virtual object, having the planar shape in the virtual space, on the second region and (2) switch to the second state in which the movement of the displayed second virtual object, based on movement instructions received from the input device, is restricted to the second region; and generate an image of the first virtual object or the second virtual object taken by a virtual camera located in the virtual space.
