GAME'S COMPONENTS
This is a great adventure game which is divided into two main stories.
Story 1- Goku and Friends (Stage 1- Stage 6)
Goku and friends are on a big mission to find and secure seven crystal
balls. During this thrilling adventure, they meet Nora and Pudgy.

Story 2- Mysterious Army's General Attack (Stage 7- Stage 10)
Goku's quest for the seven crystal balls begins again. There is a
mysterious army blocking Goku's mission to find the crystal balls.


At the end of Story 1 and Story 2, the Dragon Emperor appears and
grants Goku and Nora their wish.

The object of this game is to collect seven crystal balls. But Goku,
in order to continue his long, adventurous trip, has to replenish his
power by eating food, or to strengthen himself by using weapons.
These food items, and other that he can use to strengthen himself
are sometimes in the enemy's hands, or hidden in secret places.

------------------------------------------------------------
This game consists of four different scenes.

1. TRAVELING SCENE
Goku travels to many different places looking for the crystal
balls. On the journey he experiences many adventures. Goku has
to try to get the least amount of damage from the enemy, and
to maintain his power.

2. MYSTERIOUS SECRET SCENE
Somewhere in the Traveling Scene, there are secret passes, a
Treasure House which contains various items, or the enemy's retreat.

3. COMIC BOOK STYLE TALKING SCENE
While Goku is traveling, he has many conversations with Nora,
Pudgy and other people who provide him with very important
information. Listen carefully to these conversations, since they
contain some very helpful hints.

4. ACTION-PACKED FIGHTING SCENE
Goku fights desperately against the evil enemy characters. Many
of them are just waiting for him, and setting up vicious traps.

-----------------------------------------------------------
SECRET TECHNIQUES
1. Make sure that Goku finds the capsules.
Inside the capsules there are power food which increase
Goku's power. There are also other items such as Magic Poles
and Wind Waves that assist him during his travels. But be
careful! The capsules sometimes contain enemies also.

2. Try to keep Goku's power level up.
Goku's power level is very important. At the start of the game,
Goku's power level is 100, but as he gets hungry, or when he
fights the enemy he gradually loses his power. When Goku eats
a drumstick he gains power worth 20 point, while the cake
is worth 100 points. The maximum power that Goku can get is 150.

3. Smash the boulders.
During Section 1 entitled the "Turtle Hermit," Goku can not
move forward because there is a large boulder blocking his
way. If Goku keeps striking at the boulder, he should be able
to smash it and may find something there.

13
------------------------------------------------------------
4. Use Wind waves carefully.
Wind waves are very powerful weapons. The Turtle Hermit and
Goku are the only ones who can use this technique. Make sure
that Wind wave is used only when this special technique can
conquer the enemy. Remember, only Wind Waves can extinguish
fires! Super Wind wave, which is the powered up version of Wind
Wave, enables you to shoot three Wind waves in rapid succession.
(With Super Wind Wave the following symbol will appear in the
upper left hand corner of the screen: S {turtle shell}.)

5. Magic Pole.
This is the weapon which has two times more strength or power
of destruction than the punch. The Magic Pole enables Goku to hit
enemies that are further away, making it easier for Goku to beat them.

6. Sandwich.
By eating a sandwich, Goku can run much faster for a limited time.

14
---------------------------------------------------------
7. Swift Cloud.
By riding on Swift Cloud, Goku can fly over to nearly the end
of the scene. Try to find Swift Cloud when it appears suddenly
on the Capsule Roulette.

8. King Minos' Trap.
In Section 6, "King Minos," during the action-packed fighting
scene which is King Minos' trap, if Goku walks on top of the
flame, he'll lose power rapidly, and his movements slow down!
Be careful!

9. Pudgy.
In Section 2, "Pudgy," Goku has to find Pudgy who has transformed
to a village girl. Since Goku cannot identify a boy or a girl, he
has to attack everyone with a ? on their faces. Some people run
away screaming, while others run after Goku.

10. Keys are very important.
Keys play a very important part in Goku's adventure. For example,
in Section 2, "Pudgy," Goku has to make sure that he picks up all
the keys that Pudgy has dropped, or

15
-----------------------------------------------------------
he'll have trouble later. Therefor, you have to make sure that
as many keys as possible are picked up.

11. Run after the Rabbit Gang.
In Section 5, "Rabbit Gang," the Rabbit Gang has transformed
Nora into carrots, and they've run away with one of the carrots
as hostage. Even if Goku gets the four carrots, if he's missing
the fifth carrot, he can't do anything to help Nora. Don't lose
sight of the Rabbit Gang. But be careful, because if Goku
touches a Rabbit gang, he will turn into a carrot!

12. Hidden Caves.
There are sometimes hidden caves where rocks or trees are
not aligned, or in some cases, in houses. Inside of these caves
are capsules that contain weapons or power that will help Goku.
But if Goku travels further on, there won't be any hidden caves
in some scenes.

By using these secret techniques, I hope you can collect the seven
crystal balls which will enable you to call

16
----------------------------------------------------------
the Dragon Emperor. There are a lot of hardships awaiting you. Good Luck!

SECRET OF THE DRAGON
If Goku collects all seven crystal balls, the Dragon Emperor
appears to grant him whatever wish he wants. Well, what
kind of wish can he get?

BEWARE! THE FOLLOWING ARE DEADLY.
1. When Goku loses all of his power.
2. Falling into holes, etc. during the action-packed fighting
scene. (The game ends if you make one of the above mistakes.)

Note * When Goku enters caves or houses, you have to stand right
in front of the entrance, otherwise you can't enter. There are
times when Goku can't enter at all.
* When you want to go back, you can only go back in two moves
vertical and horizontal.
* Power of Magic Pole will disappear at the end of each stage,
so Goku has to get new weapons at each new stage.
* Keys and crystal balls are sometimes hidden in blocks or
vases, so try to punch them whenever they appear.
