You must work you waythrough 11 levels of wacky landscapes and wild enemies.  In each levelyou need to consume enough Nibbley Pibbleys to activate the scale thatwill open the door to the next area.  Good Luck!----------------------------------------------------------------------page 4CONTROLLER OPERATIONFor the 1 player game use controller 1.For the 2 player game use controllers 1 and 2.Controller 1/Controller 2(Picture of the Controller)Control Pad:  Moves your snake.A Button:  Makes your snake jump.B Button:  Flicks out your snakes's tongue.  Makes you snake swim against a water current.  Open a lid that your snake is on and release its contents.START Button:  Starts the game.  Pauses the game during game play.----------------------------------------------------------------------page 5HOW TO PLAYThe object of each stage is to eat as many Nibbley Pibbleys (thecolorful spherical beings in this world) as you can and make it to theexit.  Move your snake using the Control Pad and eat the NibbleyPibbleys by hitting them with your tongue (the B Button).  To progressto the next level, your snake must be a certain length.  When you eata Nibbley pibbley, you length increases as follows:		Color of Nibbley		Pibbley consumed    Value		----------------------------		Other Color         1 unit		Your Color          2 units		Yellow              3 units    NOTE: FOUR units are required to gain ONE snake segmentYou will find Nibbley Pibbley dispensers here and there.  They shootout Nibbley Pibbleys for your consumption.  Look Out! Sometimes theyshoot out dangerous bombs!If your snake is hit by an enemy (any moving object besides theNibbley Pibbleys), your snake will lose one segment.  If your snakeruns out of segments, you loose one snake.----------------------------------------------------------------------page 6Most of the enemies that you encounter can be defeated by multipletongue hits or by jumping on them (use the A Button for this).  If youeliminate an enemy by jumping on them, you will get more points thanby using your tongue.Your snake's tongue can be made longer by picking up tongue extensions(up to three).  This does not affect the strength of the tongue or itspower--it only increases the distance that you can shoot your tongue.EXITING EACH LEVELKeep eating the Nibbley Pibbleys until you snake's tail begins toflash. This lets you know that your snake is heavy enough to go to thenext level.  Somewhere in each level there is an exit that must beopened up before you can go through it.  Somewhere else in the levelis a scale.  If your snake is long enough,  jump on the scale.  Thebell will ring and the door opens--you may exit at any time.5000 points are awarded to the first snake through the door.  When youexit the level, you lose all of your segments and your tongueextensions. A bonus is awarded--1000 points for each segment andextension.bonuses will also be awarded for the amount of Nibbley Pibbleys eatenthroughout the level.----------------------------------------------------------------------page 7LOSING SNAKESYou start the game with 3 snakes.  The number of snakes remaining isdisplayed at the bottom of the screen.  You can increase this numberby finding extra lives--flashing snake heads with thier mouths closed!You lose a snake when:  1. You are hit by an enemy and have no snake segments left.  2. Your snake falls too far (more than 4 verticle blocks)  3. The timer at the bottom of the screen reaches zero.  4. Your snake lands on a sharp object.  5. A falling object squashes your snake.If you lose  all of your snakes, your game is over.  If you have anycontinues left (you start the game with 2 continues), you may pressany button to "PLAY ON".  In the game it is possible to gain morecontinues--Look for the open mouthed flashing snake heads.----------------------------------------------------------------------page 8HOW TO PLAY A 2 PLAYER GAMEOn the title screen, press the SELECT Button to choose the 2 PLAYERoption.

Be careful though, sometimes a bomb  disguised as an extra life will appear and explode upon contact with  the ground.  Don't be confused, the REAL extra lives flash.Ice Foot:  Similar to Big Foot, but tougher. To defeat it, you must maintain a  steady stream of hits.  Its energy level instantly recharges if you  miss one hit!Snakedozer:  Blue Snakedozers will shove you off the edge of the cliffs if you  don't jump over them.Bladez:  Bladez are hidden in the floor and have a nasty habit of appearing  right under you!  Remember where the Bladez are because they will  always appear in the same place.Anvilz:  Anvilz try to squash your snake.  There are three colors of anvils.  Each color acts differently.Pin Cushions:  A poisonous plant that shoots deadly spines. It is wise to destroy  them quickly.----------------------------------------------------------------------page 11Record       Jump on = 750 points  Tongue shot = 500 pointsMushroom     Jump on = 750 points  Tongue shot = 500 pointsKrazy Seats  Jump on = 750 points  Tongue shot = 500 pointsIce Block    Jump on = 750 points  Tongue shot = 500 pointsPin Cushion = 500 pointsBig Foot    = 5000 + 200 points for each tongue hitIce Foot    = 5000 + 200 points for each tongue hitMetal Trees = 500 pointsBeach Ball/Snow Ball/Meteorite = indestructibleCollecting any object = 1000 points  Tongue Extension  Extra Life  Clock  Diamond  Speed up  Reverse  FishtailNibbley PibbleysOther snake's color = 100 pointsYour snake's color  = 200 pointsYellow              = 300 pointsIn Bonus levels the player that eats the last Nibbley Pibbley gets5000 points----------------------------------------------------------------------page 12Hints and Tips1. For more points, try to defeat enemies by jumping on them insteadof using your tongue whenever possible.2. Open every lid using the B Button. You can find many things fromextra time to bonus rooms.3. Try finding hidden lids.  There could be a hidden warp or two!4. Sometimes you may have to sacrifice a segment of your snake to getup to a high ledge.  See if you can find these areas!5. As with all video games, practice makes perfect.  There are a fewtricky jumps in Snake Rattle N Roll that will probably take a while tomaster.  For example, some jumps may require you to jump down twospaces and to the left on space (in one jump!).Good Luck!----------------------------------------------------------------------FCC regulations and Warranty information...
