These units can be replenished alongthe way, but there are opportunities to collect an extra THREE energy unitsby defeating some of the large guardians (bringing you heart quota up to apotential FIVE, allowing you to now sustain five 'hits'!).The top left of the screen displays you energy information; the number ofhearts shows how many energy units you have in total - the 'solid' onesshow how many hits you have left before losing a life.                                   - 6 -MoneyAlong the way, Gomez can collect moeny, shown as $.

The Mansion is enormous, and hisjourney will take him inside, outside, above and below. Walking, flying andswimming, Gomez must keep his wits about him at all times,as danger lurkswithin every scenario. If anything, the Mansion is even weirder than theFamily, and nothing is quite as it seems, but careful exploration of wallsand other features may prove very rewarding.The only information Gomez has is a cryptic note handed to him by Thing:                         ThE bIg BiRd, ThE sInIsTeR                           cEnTiPeDeS aNd ShApE-                            sHiFtInG sNoWmAn ArE                        gUaRdIaNs Of ThE hEaRt.

At this point, you canexplore around outside, or enter the front door by pushing Control Pad UP.Note that this action is used each time you wish to enter a doorway oropening.On entering The Mansion, Gomez has a choice of doors to enter, eachaccessing a different (and very large) area of the house. These can beplayed in any order, but some are better (and easier to completed thanothers.                                   - 11 -Within each area are a number of strange creatures who will do their utmostto hinder Gomez. The only way to eliminate these guys is to jump on them -but watch out; if any of them has a pointed or spiked head, you must avoidhitting them!Each door from the Hall of Stairs will lead, ultimately, to one of the BigBad Guys, and therefore a major reward - either a captured member of theAddams Family, or an extra Heart.Also, there are items scattered around the mansion that can assist Gomez inhis task (see PICKUPS). Many of these are in plain view along the way, butnothing is as straightforward as it seems! The Addams Family, andeverything associated with them is WEIRD... especially their home! Secretdoors exist everywhere; of course, these doorways are usually invisible tothe human eye, so exploration of walls and floors is highly recommended.Look out especially for inconsistencies in appearance. It is all verydeceptive, but highly rewarding if discovered!                                   - 12 -Each time you rescue a member of your family, they will make their wayimmediately to the Music Room. Here, Lurch sits at his organ and plays atune. Each member of the family gives Lurch a portion of music to play.This tune will build up gradually, as Pusgley, Granny, Wednesday and UncleFester have been rescued. Once they are ALL congregated in the Music Room,Lurch will have the entire tune to play which will open up the secretpassage leading to the underground chambers,and eventually...Mortica!SwitchesAt strategic places within the Mansion are Switch-Blocks, sometimes markedON or OFF, and sometimes just shown as a patterned block. Jump up to hitand switch these blocks. The result can be discovered further down yourpath (or maybe back the way you came!). These usually make platforms appearor provide access to otherwise inaccessible places. YOU must figure outwhether they should be switched on or off - experiment!                                   - 13 -End-of-Level Bad GuyAt the end of each major area of the Mansion, you will confront a LARGE BadGuy! To defeat it, you must stomp on its head a number of times, whileavoiding it and any projectiles it may launch. An ENERGY METTER will appearon the right side of the screen to display how many hits you need to defeatthe Bad Guy. Accomplish this, and the reward makes it all worthwhile!ContinueWhen you lose all of your lives, you are allowed to CONTINUE the game, ifdesired. When this option is selected, you will restart from the Hall ofStairs in the Mansion. However, you will retain however many HEART unitsyou had when you last played, and whichever members of the family you haverescued.PasswordWhen you score a major achievement, such as gaining an extra HEART, orrescuing a member of the Family, you will given a password - MAKE A CAREFULNOTE OF THIS! Next time you play the game, you can input your password toenable you start with the same number of Hearts, and Family rescued, as youhad last time you played. You will, however, restart the game in the Hallof Stairs.ThingBy some of the doors, you will see a box labelled A. These are Thing'sboxes, and if you jump under them, Thing will spring out and reveal a cluefor the section you are playing. These can be REALLY useful!                                   - 14 -                                  PickupsThere are many items scattered throughout the Mansion (and beyond) whichwill aid Gomez in his Quest.SMALL HEART : Replenish one of your Heart energy-units, if applicable -these will NOT add to your overall Heart Quota.DOLLARS $ : See MONEY1-UP : Increases your lives by 1.SHIELD : Makes Gomez indestructible for a limited time. The shield effectis portayed as a 'star trail'. A noise will sound just before your shieldexpires.SWORD : Allows Gomez to 'eliminate' any enemies by jabbing at them, bothfrom the side and below. You retain this weapon until you are hit by acreature (you will not lose energy, just your weapon).GOLFBALL : Allows Gomez to throw golfballs at his enemies to destroy them.This works in the same way as the SWORD, excepted he cannot throw upwards.RUNNING-SHOES : Makes Gomez move faster and jump farther. You can losethese the same way as the SWORD.FEZ : If Gomez jumps into this floating hat, it becomes a 'Fezi- Copter'and allows him to fly about for a limited time by repeated pressing of theJUMP Button. The 'Fezi-copter' will be operative until you enter through adoor. At that time, it will flash to signify the remaining few seconds itis operative.POINTS : As well as gaining points by collecting items and stompingenemies, there are 'invisible' points scattered throughout the Mansion. Youcannot see these, but if you touch them, an indication appear on screen (inunits of 1000).                                   - 15 -                                Playing Tips- Trees are a good place to begin, then find somewhere cold.The Big BAd Guys at the end of these sections may be dangerous, but theyare not Heartless.- Going back through the same door does not always lead you back to thesame place.- Jumping and jabbing upwards with your sword may enable you pick up anitem that is usually out of reach.- There is always a 'safe spot' when confronted by a Big Bad Buy. Find thisand you should defeat him easily.- Use the creatures as 'springboards' to jump on in order to reach anotherwise inaccessible spot.- Map your progress - remember, the Mansion is HUGE and you don't want toforget where you're going (or have been!).- Platforms may materialize in mid-air as you walk across - be brave!                                   - 16 -
