One of the reasons I struggled with my short hands-on demo with “Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi” was an awkward control scheme.

I was forced to use the stylus for certain actions and the A/B/X/Y buttons for others. Switching between the two made holding the DS a little awkward.

That won’t be an issue next time I play it, though. No one told me there were multiple control schemes available in “Mushroom Men,” one of which is completely stylus based (just as I’d hoped!). The title’s public relations team recently relayed these details to me.

For a peek at the complete list of control options, including a left-handed mode for gamers like Stephen Totilo, keep reading.
