On the sides, there are indicators that pressing {{button|gc|l|wii|padl}} opens the [[Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard menu#Piklopedia|Piklopedia]] and pressing {{button|gc|r|wii|padr}} opens the [[Piklopedia and Treasure Hoard menu#Treasure Hoard|Treasure Hoard]]. | ||
The bottom of the screen contains information about the area that is currently selected. This includes the area's name, and the number of treasures collected in the above-ground part of the area and in each of the area's [[cave]]s. (Before repaying the debt, just the number is displayed, but after repaying the debt, the number and the total number is displayed.) If all treasures in a cave of above ground have been collected, the number will sparkle. There is also a [[day]] counter. The player can press {{button|gc|start|wii|+}} to open a prompt, asking them if they wish to remain in this menu or go to the [[title screen]]. | |||
