[HOW TO PLAY]_________________________________________________________________

the enemy's balloons.

The Characters (Pictures go with the names.)
Lightning, Giant Bubble, Propeller, Player 1, Player 2, Enemy, and Fish.

Play
Game A (1 Player Game)

* The enemy on the ground blows up a balloon, takes off and flies around the
  sky.
* Use the Control Pad and buttons A and B to control the player and make him
  bump into the enemy.

                                                                      [Page 5]

* If the player manages to hit the enemy from aboce, the enemy's balloon will
  pop and he'll come floating down with his parachute.  If you manage to hit
  the enemy again on his way down, he'll drop into the water and disappear.
* If the parachuting enemy is allowed to reach land, he'll blow up another
  balloon and take off again into the sky.  If he does, he will be even
  stronger than before.  Attack him again when he is on land and try to boot
  him into the water.
* If the enemy hits the player's balloons, one of them will pop and it will be
  harder to fly.  If both balloons pop, the player will fall into the water.
  In this case, you lose the player.
* When the enemy sinks, a bubble will float up from the water.  If you can pop
  this, you get extra points.
* If you fly too close to the water, a fish might stick out his head and eat
  you up.  Watch out!
* If the game goes on for too long, there is a thunder and lightning storm.
  To avoid getting hit by lightning, pop all the enemy's balloons as quick as
  possible.

* After three rounds of the game, you get a bonus round.  Try and pop as many
  of the balloons as quickly as possible.
* If one of the player's balloons has popped, it'll reappear in the bouns
  round.
* In the bouns round, even if both balloons burst and the player falls, you
  don't lose a man; the player bounds back up into the sky again.
  (for 2 players)

                                                                      [Page 6]

* As the rounds continue, the propeller will eventually appear.  Be careful!
  If you touch it, it'll send you flying.
* If a player flies off the left side of the screen, he reappears on the right
  side, and vice-versa.

Game B (2 Player Game)

* The basic idea is the same as in Game A.
Team play: Here, the 2 players cooperate with each other.  One player tries to
           burst the enemy's balloon while the other player tries to rip the
           enemy's parachute and together they send the enemy down.  If both
           players cooperate successfully, the game will end quickly and
           you'll get a very high score.
Competetition: The players get in each other's way, sabotage each other, and
               do whatever they can to send the other player down.  Try to
               burst the other player's balloons and block his flight so that
               he is forced down.  You can also use the spinning propeller to
               get the other player.

Game C (Balloon Trip)


* The scene drits slowly left to right.
* Taking care not to get hit by lightning, the player tries to pop as many
  balloons as possible.
* During the game, your ranking position out of 50 people is displayed at the
  top right corner of the screen.

                                                                      [Page 7]

Hints

Games A and B

1. Kick the enemy when he's blowing up his balloon.
2. For top marks, burst the enemy's balloon and then rip his parachute while
   he's on the way down.
3. Try to burst the bubble that appears after the enemy has sunk into the
   water.
4. Use the propeller skillfully to dodge the enemy's attacks or as a tool in
   your attack.  You can use the propeller's power to yourself far away
   quickly.
5. Avoid getting hit by lightning.
6. Avoid flying too close to the ware, or you'll be gobbled up by the fish.
7. Pop every balloon on the bonus round for extra points.

   right, and the lightning as it moves up and down.
