Mary-Kate and Ashley: Pocket Planner includes a journal, a calendar, a calculator, and a stopwatch, among other things. It may be used to construct "to-do" lists and schedule appointments for girls. When you hold your Game Boy or Game Boy Color up to any touch-tone phone, the phone book will automatically dial numbers for you. Save data about yourself and your pals, then use the Pocket Planner to evaluate the data, including determining which of your friends are the most compatible. Make a list of secret messages and send them to a friend's Mary-Kate and Ashley Pocket Planner.
The Pocket Planner also comes with four games and unlockable goodies such as photographs of the twins that can be printed with the Game Boy Printer, which is available separately. "Ask Ashley," a tool where you may seek for solutions to critical issues, and the "Crush Tester" are two more features.
