HOW TO PLAY
Your goals within the game include winning trophies and reaching the highest Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels possible. These goals can be achieved many different ways, most notably by playing games and earning NeoPoints, which afford you a number of options, including the ability to buy cool items for your Neopet.
PORTS
There are five ports below the screen that allow rapid access into the game. Place the bottom of your Neopet into the port for activation.
CHARACTER FACE
You can view your Neopet’s profile here. Scroll through all the different bio information of your Neopet (Name, Age, Gender, Likes To Do, Greeting, Strength, Defense, Movement, Height, Weight). Simply press the and buttons to scroll through the information.
BOOK
This book is designed as your Quick Reference Guide. Here you will be able to check the status of your Neopet’s Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels. These levels are affected by how you play with, and how you treat your Neopet. Feeding and sleeping on time makes your Neopet’s Health, Happiness and Intelligence levels go up. Toys and Petpets affect your Neopet’s Happiness and Intelligence.
Lack of sleep, feeding and interaction (toys and Petpets) will make your Neopet’s levels drop and may cause your Neopet to leave you.
TROPHIES
This will tell you how many NeoPoints you need to obtain in order to win one of four trophies, and also if you have won any of the four trophies. You will earn NeoPoints from each game you win.
There are a total of four games where trophies can be earned: Ultimate Bullseye, Yeasty Bread Tomato Toss, Turmac Roll, and Negg Drop. When a trophy is attained by the efforts of the player, it is displayed on the screen.
In order to earn a trophy you must get a score higher than the goal score. The goal score for each game is different. When a score is reached that beats the goal score a new level will be unlocked and a trophy will be awarded. The goal score breakdowns for each game are located in the game descriptions section. When all trophies are won, a Rare Item Code™ will be released that, when entered into the web site at www.neopets.com/code, will yield a special online prize.
FOOD
You must remember to feed your Neopet three times a day. You must purchase the food items from the food store, which will automatically store the items in the Burlap Sack. You can access the food directly by pressing ENTER when the FOOD icon is highlighted. This will take you to the list of your food items that you have purchased.
Using the and keys, choose a food item from the list that you want to eat and press ENTER. You will be asked "EAT NOW?" and given the options "YES" or "NO". If "YES" is selected, you will see the icon for that item flashing and then the animation of your Neopet eating, followed by a gratifying phrase.
Your Neopet likes to eat regularly, every day at: 7:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. At these times, you should select the food icon to feed your Neopet.
If you feed your Neopet on time, you will receive 50 Health points for healthy food, or 50 Happiness points for treats.
•Caution: Don’t overfeed your Neopet! Extra food does not add any more health, but will still make your Neopet gain weight! Extra treats will add 10 Happiness points but will also add more weight, which will make he/she lose 30 Health points.
•Tip: If you feed your Neopet after Hint time, you only get half the points.
•Tip: If you do not feed your Neopet at all, he/she will lose 40 Health points and 30 Happiness points, and will lose weight.
