Stylus Mode and Dual Mode

Stylus Mode and Dual Mode are two alternating control schemes for Metroid Prime Hunters. The game is designed to be playable with either all button controls or button and stylus controls, as well as to accommodate left- and right-handed players. This results in multiple control schemes. For example, in Stylus Mode, aiming the Arm Cannon is done using the stylus on the touch screen while the bounty hunter being controlled (only Samus in Adventure Mode) moves using the direction pad (A B X Y in left-handed mode), and in Dual Mode, the A B X Y buttons and control pad are used to either move Samus or aim her Arm Cannon respectively depending on the mode. Jumping is accomplished using the L or R Buttons in Dual Mode for left- and right-handed players respectively, or by double tapping the touch screen in Stylus Mode (Stylus mode also allows jumping using either the face buttons or the D-pad depending on which isn't being used for movement). Visor swapping, weapon selection, and Alt-Form activation are always activated with the touch screen regardless of play mode.
==Manual==
"You can select either Stylus Mode or Dual Mode to play the game. Both modes support right- and left-handed controls. You can change the control mode by selecting CONTROLS under OPTIONS (page 13)."
==Trivia==
*There was a third control option in Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt, Touch Shoot Mode. It would allow players to shoot enemy holograms by touching them with the stylus. This control option was not present in Hunters.
