GAMEPLAY
●Checkpoint
If you find the Checkpoint Marker, make sure to touch it. This allows you to restart the Act from this location, should you lose a life and have any remaining.
●Rings
If you possess even one ring, it will protect you from losing a life upon taking damage. When you take dam- age, you will lose all the rings you possess, making yourself vulnerable. If you collect 100 rings, you will earn an extra life.
●Time Limit
If you set the Time Over settings ON in Options (p.15), the Time Counter will start to flash when the time limit nears. If you do not clear the Act before the time limit expires, you will lose a life.
GAMEPLAY
●Breathing Underwater
Some Acts contain underwater areas. You cannot stay underwater for long, so you must resurface or find an air bubble to breathe. A countdown will start if you hold your breath too long. When the countdown ends, you will lose a life.
●Act Cleared
Reach the Goal Marker before the time limit expires to clear the Act. Your performance will be evaluated and displayed on the Result Screen.
Pause
During the game, press START to pause the game and display the Pause Menu. Select CONTINUE or press START again to continue the Act. Select GO BACK to quit the current Act and return to the Zone Select screen.
NOTE: The Pause Menu does not open with Acts which have not been enabled for selection in the Act Select screen (p.23). In this case, you can only pause and unpause the game.
