1. Select Nintendo eShop on the HOME Menu to launch Nintendo eShop.
2. Select the account you want to use.

   • Any letters and symbols not used with prepaid codes (i.e. O, I, Z, commas, hyphens, etc.) will be disabled from the on-screen keyboard.
5. Select Confirm to confirm. The game will begin downloading once the code is confirmed.
   • The game icon will appear on the HOME menu, with a download status bar. The status bar will disappear once the game download is complete.
