Yakuman DS Visual Translation Guide

Yakuman DS is a Super Mario-themed mahjong game for the Nintendo DS, featuring online multiplayer and several pages of rules that can be customized (including Open Riichi!)
Since it's entirely in Japanese, I thought I would make a translation guide, so here it is

As for the calls, they should be pretty easy to figure out since they only show up when you can use them, but just in case, here they are in Japanese and English:
Pon - ポン
Chi - チー
Kan - カン
Riichi - リーチ
Tsumo - ツモ
Ron - ロン

If there isn't a Wi-Fi option, then you have the original version of the game, which doesn't have online multiplayer

For those people who wouldn't be caught dead being seen playing something as childish as a Mario game, simply set Voices to Real, turn off Face Graphics, and enjoy your Serious Business mahjong game
Options Page 2
One Hand Mode changes the controls so you can play with just your left hand, presumably to make it easier to play mahjong in class without getting caught
Support gives you hints on which tile to discard, and which ones are risky
I don't know why it wouldn't let me turn on the pictochat option but I think it's supposed to let you search for people using pictochat nearby
