This one caught my eye a while back, but I was put off my the fact that I never saw SS using the two-monitor setup of the DS.

There are no touch-screen features in ZX, and the main gameplay is on the top screen. Each of the "advanced" Biometals (that is, the ones you get defeating bosses) has a different effect on the bottom screen:

• Hx shows a life meter and weakness diagram for enemies you're facing;
• Lx has a fairly large map and a Cyber-elf that detects hidden objects;
• Px has a much smaller map, but one which shows hidden passages and enemies;
• finally, Fx has a "Buster Edit" screen, as that Biometal's main weapons can be adjusted to travel in different directions.

It's like the automapping/monster library features for Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - useful, but not something that makes for a good screenshot.
