===Emotional Spectrum Practice===
Emotional Spectrum Practice, or ESP for short, is an exercise activity formulated by Tulip to help one become more beautiful. ESP regimens are taught by Dendra at the eastern side of town at the base of the observatory. The player must participate in two ESP sessions, featuring 10 and 15 rounds respectively under standard mode rules, as part of the Alfornada Gym Test. In subsequent visits, Dendra will continue to offer ESP sessions, in two different modes: Standard and Knockout.
During an ESP session, Dendra will prompt the player to press either the X, A, B, or Y button before a short timer expires. Each button corresponds to a color-coded emotion that the player must mimic, and it is possible for the same emotion to be chosen multiple times in a row. If the correct emotion is given, the timer will pause briefly, and the current round will be marked as a success even if the player later switches to a different emotion. No penalty is given for expressing the wrong emotion, and the timer will keep running while still allowing the player to switch to the correct emotion. It is possible to input the correct emotion multiple times in the same round, but this does not provide any additional points.
Standard mode offers four different courses of increasing difficulty (more rounds and a shorter timer per round): Nice 'n' easy, Moderate, Vigorous, and All-out. This mode will end in failure if at any point the player has accumulated seven more unsuccessful rounds than they have successful rounds, and no reward will be given in this case. If the player reaches the end of the session without having too many unsuccessful rounds, they will receive various Berries as a reward.
Course 	Rounds	Successful roundsrequired to finish	Time per round	Reward
Nice 'n' easy	15 	5 	3.0 seconds 	3 copies of one random Berry:
Moderate 	20 	7 	2.3 seconds 	3 copies of one random Berry:
Vigorous 	30 	12 	1.6 seconds 	3 copies of one random Berry:
All-out 	40 	17 	1.2 seconds 	Same as Vigorous, plus one:
In Knockout mode, a single unsuccessful round at any time will end the session. Dendra will continue for a maximum of 151 prompts, divided into phases of increasing speed. After each phase, there is an opportunity to rest, in which the game will not proceed to the next phase until the player presses any button.
Phase 	Rounds(cumulative)	Time per round	Consolation prize forfailure during this phase
Phase 1	10 	3.0 seconds 	None
Phase 2	15 (25) 	2.3 seconds 	One copy of a random Berry:

Phase 5	81 (151) 	1.0 seconds 	10 copies each of two randomBerry types from above
