Quests
The gameplay during a Quest is similar to Patapon, although it does not use rhythmic-based button inputs. The Felyne party is not controlled directly. Instead they are given three types of commands via the SQUARE, TRIANGLE, or CIRCLE buttons. The "Forward Arrow" will command them to move forward. The "Stay Arrow" will cause them to either burrow or stay put. And a third specialized command; for example "Rest", "Attack", "Bomb", "Flute", etc can be chosen. Based on the commands you choose, various events will occur. Choosing the right commands will progress the party to the end of the quest.

Those Quests can be accepted from the Village's Guildhouse. Download Quests will also be available.

Pig Racing
Ride on your Pugi/Piggi and race with other players to the finish line.

Data Transfer
Transfer your favorite Felyne Comrades/Cooks to the Airu Village from existing MHP2g save data.
