Beginners are not very good at starting chain reactions, so they should concentrate on steadily removing jewels instead. Removing jewels of the same color in a diagonal line is the greatest feature of Columns Crown. There are often times when the greatest number of chain reactions can be set off by giving preference to areas for diagonal removal as the jewels pile up. One trick is to pile up the hard-to-place pieces to the right or left. You can arrange jewels that have already landed for a short time by using the A and B Buttons. Another trick is to arrange jewels right after they have landed when the speed of the falling jewels increases. 14 VS-CPU Mode Battle the thieves in this mode.
