Minigame Guide
| Trigger Reflex Trial | Use a firearm to hit as many targets as possible within the time limit. More successful hits give a higher score. | Prioritize groups of targets and easy targets first. Avoid wasting time chasing one difficult target. |
| Precision Express Handling | Operate a train along the railway and reach the destination before time runs out. | Study the track layout before making turns. Brake and change direction early, especially near junctions. |
| Maze of Frost and Foresight | Guide the little Jack Frost through the stage and reach the exit by using special constructs. | Check the exit first, then plan the route. Some platforms can move Jack Frost and Prime Ice Constructs vertically or horizontally. |
| Roly-Poly Domain Raid | Defeat enemies during the Combat Phase, increase your Snowball Level, and use snowball abilities during the Snowball Phase. | Build up Snowball Level before using the special phase. Group enemies together and save snowball abilities for the strongest wave. |
