Bird, and the 'toadallyawesome trio, Zitz, Rash and Pimple, otherwise known as the BATTLETOADS.The portal is switched on and the Gamescape is revealed: a rolling plain withfour figures barely visible in the distance.Gradually, the figures get closer and are seen to be four Psyko Pigs mountedon horseback - the Pigs of the Apocalypse.* Page 4Suddenly, the Pigs gallop straight at the portal, bursting through it andinto the test room. One of them grabs Michiko Tashoku and leaps back throughthe portal.  When Zitz tries to stop them, he is clubbed senseless and drapedover a saddle. Before anyone else can do anything, the Pigs of the Apocalypseare galloping away into the Gamescape with their two captives - and to makematters worse, the Gamescape begins to leak through the portal into ourworld!A prerecorded message flashes up on the Gamescape screen, confirmingProfessor T. Bird's suspicion that the evil genius,* Page 5Silas Volkmire, and his malevolent partner, the Dark Queen, are behind thekidnapping and the Gamescape leakage, and it is soon revealed that he iscorrect: Silas has hooked himself up to a Gamescape Generator somewherebeyond the portal, with the wicked intention of transforming the entire worldinto his very own Gamescape Kingdom, over which he and the Dark Queen willrule. Meanwhile, Michiko and Zitz are being conveyed to his dreaded lair, theDark Tower, where they will be destined for doom if anyone tries to stop him.But he must be stopped! - and Rash and Pimple are the 'toads to do it!* Page 6                          CONTROLLING THE ACTIONUp - Move up.Down - Move down (except for Revenge of Karnath and Tracktor levels where down is duck).Left - Move left.Right - Move right.Double Tap Left or Right - Run left or right.Double Tap Left or Right, Then Press Button B - Run left or right, then perform a Smash Hit.Button B - Action.Button A or Y - Jump.Button X - Pick up/put down.Top Buttons - No function.Start - Start game/pause game.IN SELECTION SCREEN:Select - Gives you STEREO/MONO/SOUND EFFECTS ONLY options.Up/Down - Enables you to choose from the following player options: 1 PLAYER 2 PLAYERS A - 'Toads can hit each other. 2 PLAYERS B - 'Toads cannot hit each other.* Page 7                                SCOREBOARDLives are facially featured.Energy is the stuff that puts the battle in BATfLETOADS! Points are 'toadallynumerical.* Page 8                               HOW TO PLAYAs soon as the BATTLETOADS materialize inside the Gamescape on KhaosMountain, you'll find the welcome far from friendly. Crazed Psyko Pigs, scarySkeletons and a gigantic petrified Pig are gonna be trying their beastly bestto stop you from getting any further. So hit 'em hard!And this is just for starters, 'toad. The dire duo have plenty more wherethis came from, in the shape of infested trees, a terrifying tunnel, ravagingreptile lairs, rickety roller-coaster rides and much more! Each filled withgruesome baddies or hazardous obstacles - and sometimes both!Baddies are the hordes of computer-generated villains that the twisted mindof Silas Volkmire has created. Their sole purpose is to stop you fromreaching the Dark Tower, where the evil genius holds your friends captive.* Page 9Obstacles are a variety of unpleasant walls and spikes, designed to catch theunwary 'toad off-guard. Often hidden and always fatal, they're every bit asdangerous as their more mobile counterparts. To successfully continue yourawesome mission, you must eliminate all the baddies and avoid all theobstacles on every level.But watch out, 'toad, 'cuz they're not afraid to attack! And if your greenbody collects too many blows, it's a one-way ticket to the ground! 'Cuz eachBattletoad has a limited life span.Fortunately, it's not all one-way traffic, as the 'toads are more thancapable of holding their own if the going gets tough. At your disposal are anawesome arsenal of fearsome punches, kicks, slams and throws, which only aBattletoad can activate. Although the 'toads are experts in* Page 10hand-to-hand combat, don't hesitate to use certain objects as weapons, shouldthe situation arise.While this fighting prowess will deal with most situations, certain levelsdemand expert racing skills. Test your talents on the Speeder Bike and theTracktor, but always remember - it's survival of the fastest!Finally, you'll reach Volkmire's lair, where the ultimate showdown begins.Once inside, you'll have a chance to experience the gloom and unrivaled fearthat the Dark Tower has to offer, full of unpleasant surprises for a weary'toad. Only by overcoming all of this, and confronting both the Dark Queenand Silas Volkmire, will you be able to free your friends from their evilclutches.* Page 11                                 BADDIESSILAS VOLKMIRE - The evil genius who designed the Gamescape, and intends toturn the world into his own computerized kingdom.
