A demo of the game was launched before the game's release, on the European eShop, on {{date|22|June|2017}}, and on the Australian eShop on {{date|5|July|2017}}. At the title screen, players can choose which "file" they want to play: "(A) Intro & Tutorial", "(B) 1-A: First Expedition", and "(C) 3-A: Crystal Tunnels". Players can only open it 30 times, but completing a stage allows the player to return to the title screen. Pressing {{button|3ds|select}} or {{button|3ds|start}} during gameplay has no effect.
