Capsules give your scout ship different abilities.  Catchthem by positioning yourself under them.  Your ship will absorb and usethem immediately.S Capsule  If your ship has been changed by a capsule, the S capsule will return  it to a normal scout ship.T Capsule  It creates a force field behind your ship to deflect a missed ball.  It will only deflect one ball.M Capsule  This allows you to destroy multiple Blocks in a row (except Gold  Blocks).  Your ball travels right through them.L Capsule  It equips your scout ship with lasers.  To blast your lasers, press  the A or X Button.G Capsule  It forms a glue-like field around your ship so that you can hold on to  balls until you press the A or X Button.E Capsule  The length of your ship is extended to almost twice its original size.D Capsule  The D capsule generates eight balls from the original ball.  Keep all  of them in play as long as you can.B Capsule  Catch this capsule to open a warp gate between levels.  Go through  this gate to enter a new level.P Capsule  An extra scout ship will be added to your fleet.  P capsules are very  rare.-------------------------------pgs. 12-13-------------------------------BLOCKSYou will be faced with three kinds of Blocks:  Normal, Silver, and Gold.In addition to the Blocks, you must fight Doh's henchmen.  They appearrandomly and you must fire many balls or laser beams to defeat them.Normal Blocks  These are the most common Blocks, and they come in many different  colors.  They hold the capsules.  One hit will destroy these Blocks.Silver Blocks  The Silver Blocks do not hold any capsules.  They are also harder to  destroy.  You will need to strike them several times.Gold Blocks  It's impossible to destroy Gold Blocks.  Instead, use them like walls  to bounce your balls into other Blocks.-------------------------------pgs. 14-15-------------------------------TIPS FROM MISSION CONTROLBack at Mission Control, Commander Therle has some good advice for hisscout ship pilots.  Pay attention to his tips, and your chances forsurvival will increase.  The lives of all your people depend on yoursuccess.High Speed  As soon as you are familiar with piloting your ship, go to the Option  screen and increase the speed.  You will find that it is easier to  destroy Blocks when you move at high speeds.Grab the M  Catch the M capsule as often as you can.  Being able to fire your ball  through multiple Blocks at once is the best weapon your ship can have.  You can cover a lot of space this way.Watch the Ball  As you race through the barriers, keep your eye on the ball, not on  your ship.  As your skill improves, you will be able to move the ship  into position automatically.Let Some Go  Don't risk losing your ship just to grab a capsule.  You could fail  your mission that way.  Let the capsules that are hard to catch fall  off the screen.  You may be better off without them.Defeating Bosses.  The huge bosses are difficult to defeat, but not always impossible.  Use your head to think up ways to strike them with the ball.  Each  boss has his weak spot -- you just have to find it.---------------------------------pg. 16---------------------------------IMPORTANT:WARNING:  Copying of any Nintendo game is illegal and is strictlyprohibited by domestic and international copyright laws.
