When a game is '''pause'''d, all action on the screen stops, giving players the opportunity to take a break in the middle of a match. Pausing also allows for players to abandon the match using L, R, A, and Start, and allows for players to look around the screen by adjusting the camera angle and zoom. Pausing can be turned off if the players wish for it to be. In both games, pausing is activated by pressing the [[Start/Pause Button]].

In general, it is considered very rude to pause the game willy-nilly.  Exceptions to this rule include having to pause the game because the phone is ringing, you ''really'' have to go to the bathroom, etc. However, it is possible to disable the ability to pause the game.
Pausing the game for minor reasons is generally frowned upon as it can disrupt gameplay, though there are, of course, exceptions. Pausing can be disabled if the players so choose.

When a game is paused, all action on the screen stops, giving players the opportunity to take a break in the middle of a match. Pausing also allows for players to abandon the match by pressing a certain button combination which varies by game. It also allows for players to look around the screen by adjusting the camera angle and zoom. Pausing can be turned off if the players wish for it to be. In both games, pausing is activated by pressing the Start/Pause Button.

Pausing the game for minor reasons is generally frowned upon as it can disrupt gameplay, though there are, of course, exceptions. Pausing can be disabled if the players so choose.
