While on the Navigational Map, hit the  button to enter the Gummi Garage. In the garage, you will be able to build and customize many different Gummi Ships. When you first enter the garage, Chip and Dale will give you a very detailed tutorial on how the garage works.
After the tutorial, you can look over everything they covered in the Help option of the menu.
Garage Controls
Building ships in the Gummi Garage can be somewhat overwhelming at first. If you make a mistake, simply hit  to return to Select Mode. And from there continue to hit  until the main menu is brought up.
Below we will go over each of the 3 different modes inside the Gummi Garage. |

Beginning a new ship
To make a brand new Gummi Ship, select the garage option. Here you will see a complete list of all of the Blueprints you have gotten thus far. The green blueprints are from ships found within the game. The Blue ones are of ships you ahve created and saved. These ships can be changed and designed to your liking.
The green ones have to be built to the specification of the plan first. If you do not have enough blocks, a message will appear telling you this. You can still build the model with the blocks you have, but the ship will not be complete. Once a model has been started with a blueprint, you can add or remove Gummi Blocks, then save it to a new blueprint. |
Select Mode
In Select Mode, you can choose the Gummi Blocks you wish to place individually, or by class. The calsses are:
Cockpits
Engines
Armor (Divided into 3 categories)
Wings
Special Blocks
Weapons
As you cycle through the blocks, watch for the class icon in the lower left of the screen. The quantity of each block is listed under the class icon.
The Gummi Block on the left side of the screen is the one that will be placed when Build Mode is entered. Before placing it, you can change its color by using the spraywhich is purchased from Cid in Traverse town. When you are ready to begin building, press  or to enter Build Mode. |

And that is about all there is to building a Gummi Ship. It is best to play around and experiment with your ship. Try to find a good balance between attack and defense. Overall, just have some fun with it. It might be frustrating at first, but as you get the hang of it, you will be able to master making a fantastic ship.
If anyone wants to submit their Gummi ship, and what it is made of, please email me a pic, and a listing of the parts used. I will be more than happy to add them here for everyone to see. And as always Happy Gummi Ship Building!
