CHARACTERS

Junior

Spark

-------------------------------------------------------------------

HINTS..............Use these three special techniques to speed up
the action.

*Climb up quickly by grabbing onto two vines at once.

*Slide down quickly by holding onto one vine.

*HIGH JUMP (SECOND ROUND)
A well-timed press of the "A" button will allow you to jump all the
way to the moving island using the springboard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SCORING.............................Four Ways to improve your score.

*FRUIT ATTACK
Additional points for getting fruit. Drop the fruit on the enemy.
Knock out several bad guys at once and get a special high score!

*BONUS POINTS
When you reach the key, bonus points are added to your score. The
bonus points you get depend on how long it takes you to reach the
key; the longer you take, the lower the bonus. Time runs out at the
same time the bonus points go to zero, and Junior is finished.

*JUMPS
Jump over a nitpicker or spark to successfully escape their attack
and get additional points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

*ADDITIONAL POINTS WITH THE KEYS (FOURTH ROUND)
Additional points are given for each key inserted into a keyhole.
You can insert two keys at once using both hands.

BONUS: If your score goes over 20,000, you get an extra Junior.

BEWARE!
Watch out for the following: getting bitten by a snapjaw, getting
pecked by a nitpicker, colliding with a spark, and falling from a
vine. Each time one of these happens, one Junior disappears. When
all Juniors are gone, the game is over.

LOOPS
After clearing the fourth round and saving Papa, the first loop is
over. Next, challenge the second loop. The number of enemies and
their speed increases. Compete to see who gets the highest score
or the highest loop!
