Dragons Luna and Ash battle storm clouds to win sunlight crystals and rainbow pieces so they can rescue the Dragon Kingdom from the evil storm cloud, Sagrus.

Players use the D-pad to help the dragons fly into clouds to correctly spell words or identify shapes, numbers, letters and letter sounds.

Connect for Online Games & Activities
There are many reasons to get connected using the LEAPFROG Connect Application.
By connecting the LEAPSTER2 handheld to the computer, kids can:
• Upload, print and share art created on the handheld!

• Additional resources and activities.
• Recommendations to help their child continue progressing on the LEAPFROG Learning Path.

We recommend you connect your LEAPSTER2 handheld to your computer regularly and frequently to keep your child's custom LEAPFROG Learning Path up to date. Additionally, by connecting often, you ensure that your child's rewards data and LEAPFROG Learning Path information is saved in the device's memory. Connecting infrequently could result in the loss of this valuable data.

To further prevent loss of this information, we recommend that you install an optional SD card (sold separately) in your LEAPSTER2 handheld. An SD card will extend the memory capacity, allowing for longer play times between connect sessions.

Note: Unless connected to a computer, the LEAPSTER2 handheld will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Press the On/Off button to turn the unit back on. If connected to a computer, the LEAPSTER2 handheld will remain on for the duration of the connection.
