What to study

The Pack menu is an inventory that never leaves the world: a translucent bar of three item icons hangs over the live garden, the selected item (Idler's Alert) gets a one-line description of exactly what it does ('Recall idle Pikmin to wherever you sound the alert'), and Y Confirm / B Close close the loop at the footer. Because the menu is translucent, the goal meter (50 of 80) and the 02:29 countdown stay visible above it, so opening an item never costs the player the exam clock. That is the Dandori design in one overlay: timed collection where even the pause for items is priced in seconds. The frame carries the Treehouse stream's picture-in-picture hosts inset at top right.
