So, who are we to argue?-------------------------------------------------------------------DEFENSIVE ITEMS (CONTINUED)PICKING UP ITEMSTo pick up an item, simply move Jerry until he touches it.  Theobject will then disappear from the playing area and be added toJerry's inventory.CHEESECheese is good... very good.  Collect all the cheese you can find.Each small piece of cheese you collect will earn Bonus Points atthe end of each Stage.  Large wedges of cheese recharge Jerry'sstrength level during play.-------------------------------------------------------------------JUMPING & CLIMBINGJUMPINGLike most mice, Jerry is very fast and agile and can jump greatdistances.  However, he can also make shorter jumps.  You cancontrol how high and far Jerry jumps by holding down the Jumpbutton (the A Button) for different lengths of time.If you press and hold down the jump button, Jerry will make his biggest jump.  If you just tap the jump button, Jerry will makea softer, smaller jump.  You will need to continually rely on yourmastery of jumping as you progress through the Stages of the house,so Jerry's advice is to practice, practice, practice!CLIMBINGJerry can also climb up and down certain objects in the house likewires and power cords.  To make Jerry climb, position him in frontof the objects to be climbed and press the Up arrow on the Control-------------------------------------------------------------------JUMPING & CLIMBING (CONTINUED)Pad.  Jerry will grab on and start to climb up for as long as youkeep the Control Pad pressed or as long as there is room to climb.While climbing, you can pick up speed by jumping straight up.  Bysimultaneously jumping and keeping the Up arrow pressed, you canclimb from one surface to another.  This is another important skillyou will want to practice.NOTE:  If you jump while climbing without keeping the Up arrowpressed, Jerry will fall off the climbing surface at the end ofthe jump.MOUSE HOLESThere are mouse holes hidden in some levels of the house.  Someof these lead to Bonus Stages where you can collect lots of cheese.Others are exits to the next level in the house.  Enter them bypressing the Up arrow on the Control Pad.-------------------------------------------------------------------LOSING A LIFE/GAINING A LIFEWhile cats have nine lives, mice ordinarily have three.  Some of theobstacles Jerry may encounter will cause him to lose a life.  Othersmerely diminish his strength--although repeated encounters with thesame type of obstacle will eventually result in Jerry giving up alife.When all of Jerry's lives are lost, the game ends.  However, you willhave 10 seconds to press the START button to continue the game atthe Stage you left off.  If you continue, your score will be resetto zero.  You may do this twice in a row, after which the game willautomatically start over from the beginning.Mice can gain extra lives, too.  For every 50,000 points you rack up,you will receive one Bonus Life.TOMPeriodically, Tom will appear to try and thwart Jerry's rescueattempt.  Use your marbles (the ones in your inventory and the onesin your head) to outwit Tom.  If you can get to the attic and beatTom, you've won the game and the life-long admiration of your littlenephew, Tuffy!-------------------------------------------------------------------HI TECH EXPRESSIONS584 BROADWAYNEW YORK, NY  10012
