TRANSCRIBED ORIGINAL NINTENDO GAME MANUAL AND INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Nintendo Entertainment System Gyromite Pak.
This game requires R.O.B., your Robotic Operating Buddy.

OBJECT OF THE GAME/GAME DESCRIPTION

In this action-packed game you've got to keep R.O.B.'s gyroscope spinning
in order to assist Professor Hector, the mad scientist, in defusing all the
bombs in his laboratory. R.O.B. will move the columns blocking he
scientist's way so he can get to the dynamite before it explodes. Master
the technique and you can get R.O.B. spinning two gyros at the same time.
But don't take your eyes off the screen for too long-because anything can
happen in Gyromite!

  --------------------------------------------------------------
Please read this Instruction Booklet to insure proper handling of your new
game, then save it for future reference.

Caution: Misuse or mishandling of the spinning gyro can cause physical
injury. Read this Instruction Booklet for proper and safe use of gyro and
gyro spinner BEFORE operating R.O.B.'s accessories.
Please follow the instructions in the NES Instruction Manual to properly
set up your NES and R.O.B.
  --------------------------------------------------------------

SETTING UP FOR GYROMITE GAME PLAY

1. Turn on the power switch on R.O.B.'s main body. R.O.B. should start
automatically and stop in the standby position (arms open, body at the top
of the center shaft with arms facing forward).
If R.O.B. does not assume the standby position, switch the power off and
switch it on again.
Please note that R.O.B. will not move when his batteries are down.
  --------------------------------------------------------------
Names of R.O.B.'s parts and attachments:

There's a full page pic here, it shows R.O.B. with his gyro spinners and
controller holder.
  --------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up R.O.B. a. Insert one D size battery into the spinner and place
the spinner into position No. 1 on R.O.B.
Caution: Do not place fingers or foreign objects in the gyro spinner.

b. Attach the hands (2) to R.O.B.'s arms.

c. Set Controller 2 in the tray with the A and B buttons in front of the
actuators (not upside down!). Place the tray into positions 2 and 3 on
R.O.B.

Note: The controller connected to controller socket 1 becomes Controller 1.
The controller connected to controller socket 2 becomes Controller 2.
  --------------------------------------------------------------
d. Set the gyros (2) in the holder. Place the holder into positions 4 and 5
on R.O.B.

Note: The gyros are intended to be played with the Gyromite Pak ONLY.

4. Insert the Gyromite pak into the control deck and turn on the power
switch.

during Game A.

3. Control Pad: The control pad has two functions. It can control R.O.B.
(blue screen in Game A, black screen in game B) or Professors Hector and
Vector (Black screen in game A).

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

GAME MENU AND GAME PLAY

Test mode-This is used to focus R.O.B.'s eyes onto the TV screen. (See NES
Instruction Manual)
Direct-This game helps you get accustomed to moving gyros with R.O.B. Your
commands go straight to the TV screen which sends signals to R.O.B.

Up: Raises the arms
Right: Turns the arms to the right
Down: Lowers the arms
Left: Turns the arms to the left
A button: Opens the arms
B button: Closes the arms
  --------------------------------------------------------------
R.O.B. makes three kinds of movement:
1. Grasps and releases objects.
2. Raises and lowers objects.
3. Turns and carries objects to the left and right.
A gyro in set in motion by the spinner will not fall as long as it is
rotating-even after it is relocated to the tray. You can then move the
other gyro after the first one is spinning on the tray. Practice the
commands one after the other so you can get used to operating R.O.B.
Skillfully moving the gyros will be helpful when you play Game A or B.
Press the select button to return to the select mode menu.
  --------------------------------------------------------------
Game A-1 player
Characters:

   * Prof. Hector
   * Prof. Vector
   * Dynamite
   * Turnip (used as a decoy)
   * Smick (eats turnips and bites professors)
   * Gate (Red)
   * Gate (Blue)

  --------------------------------------------------------------
This is an exciting game in which the Professor and R.O.B. Cooperate to
remove all the dynamite and prevent a big explosion. The screen scrolls
sideways to espose more bombs.
There are 40 phases for this game mode. Use the A and B buttons while the
select mode menu is displayed to select the phase you want.
  --------------------------------------------------------------

Game Play

1. The Professor has to move past a spot where dynamite is laid in order to
remove it. He must remove all dynamite in the time given. By using R.O.B.
and the gyros, you can help him by raising and lowering the blue and red
gates that block the Professor's way.
2. So long as the background of the screen is black, you operate the
Professor with controller 1.
3. To control R.O.B., press the start button and the background of the
screen turns blue, meaning that Controlle 1 sends commands to R.O.B. (Robot
Transmission Mode).
4. After transmitting, the background of the screen changes automatically
from blue to black and control goes back to the Professor.
5. If you want to send another command to R.O.B., press the start button
again and then press the necessary command button.
6. One important thing to remember when raising/lowering gates with the
gros is that placing a gyro onto the blue tray lowers the blue gate;
placing a gyro onto the red tray lowers the red gate.
7. You don't have to bother spinning a gyro to move only one gate up and
down, but sometimes both gates have to be opened to let the Professor pass.
In this case, spin one gyro with the spinner and place it on either the red
or blue tray, then R.O.B.'s hands will be free to put the other gyro on the
other tray.
8. Smicks, the killer bugs, are lying in wait somewhere on the screen and
you will lose the Professor if he is bitten by a Smick.
9. Smicks like to bite Professors; but even more than Professors, they like
turnips. If you offer a greedy Smick a turnip, his favorite food, he won't
attack the Professor.
10. Use the A button on Controller 1 to make the Professor pick up and put
down the turnip.
11. Move the gate up and down to crush the Smicks and gain 500 points.
12. There are 6 bundles of dynamite (some of which might be hidden and
invisible) per phase. Each bundle of dynamite removed gives you 100 points.
13. The time remaining after all dynamite has been picked up will be added
to your score as extra points.
14. The Professor disappears if he is bitten by a Smick or if the time is
used up. The game ends when all three Professors have disappeared. (Note
from Spaz: Contrary to this, you get FIVE professors)
15. To pause during the game, press the select button during play. During
pause you can view the entire scene by pushing the control pad. Press the
select button again to release the pause. If the start button is pressed
during pause, the screen will return to select mode list and the game will
end.

  --------------------------------------------------------------
Game B: Here Professor Hector is walking in his sleep. Move the gates up
and down with R.O.B. and the gyros to prevent the professor from being
bitten by a Smick. Try to help the Professor pass through smoothly. There
are 25 phases, starting from R=01 (Phase 1) The Professor comes out of the
tunnel on the left and walks determinedly to the right. When he passes a
rope, he always climbs up to the top and jumps down to the right. If a gate
is closed, he will just keep walking in place.

In this game, R.O.B. is operated directly by Controller 1.
Operate R.O.B. to position gyros and move the gates up and down. Lead the
Professor safely to the tunnel on the far right.

There are holes here and there where Smick is lying in wait. If you don't
operate R.O.B. carefully the Professor will fall into one of th holes. If
this happens, and Smick bites him, the Professor is lost. The game ends
after all three professors are lost.

If an arrow appears on the way, the Professor has to go in that direction
or he will fall into a hole and get bitten by Smick. Watch out for these.

As the professor advances, you gain points. Everytime you overtake an
arrow, you get 100 points. If Smick is crushed by a gate you get 500
points.

Various courses appear one after another. If all 25 courses are completed
successfully, the walking speed of the Professor increases and the game
gets more difficult. See how many phases you can clear.

Press the select button to pause during the game. To continue playing,
press the select button again. If the start button is pressed during a
pause, the screen will return to the select mode list and the game will
end.
