Benefits
- can practice on a simulated board
during gameplay
until you see a move you like

- can move the power meter
higher than normal to shoot harder

- draws lines to show where the balls
will bounce ahead of time (an aimer)

- auto play option

Once you understand how the simulated board works, you'll see it basically ensures victory in the game.
