This afternoon however it was all about to change.It started out like any other day, Clayton going off to school, leaving hisfather at home with his experiments. Today, however, his father was on theverge of a fantastic breakthrough and Clayton could barely keep his mind onhis lessons. As soon as the last bell rang, Clayton raced home hoping toget there in time to help his father with his work.Half a world away another person eagerly awaited Professor Putty'sbreakthrough.Through the smoke of his magic cauldron the eyes of the wicked witchdoctor, Jobo, looked down upon Mudville. Would this upstart professor beable to do what only he, the great Jobo, was able to do? To turn livingcreatures into clay! There was only one way to know for sure, to go therein person. With some incantations and a puff of brimstone he was on hisway.Clayton ran up the porch and into the house only to be knocked to the floorby an explosion coming from the basement. Startled and a little bit scaredClayon looked up to see his father smiling with success. It had worked! Theclaymorph serum worked! Suddenly there was a second explosion and in acloud of smoke the witch docter Jobo appeared. Claiming the powers overclay were his alone, Jobo demanded the serum and its formula.                                   -[3]-Professor Putty was not going to let his breakthrough go without a flight,but he was powerless to stop the wicked Jobo. Seeing that he was not goingto get his way Jobo seized the professor and turned the protesting Claytoninto a ball of clay, escaping in another puff.Now its up Clayton to rescue his father, and the serum, which will turn himback into a little boy. He will face many dangers as he travels to the endsof the earth, and possibly beyond, if he is to finish his quest. To aid himin his quest, Clayton had the ability to transform into five differentanimals with the help of different pieces of clay he may find along theway. Each of the five animals has its own abilities and skills, and he willneed them all as he runs, jumps, flies, swims, and climbs passed anythingin his way.                                   -[4]-CLAYThroughout Clayton's travels in the land of the Claymates he will findcolored pieces of clay. Clay allows Clayton to transform into the differentanimals characters. When you have Clayton pick up a piece of colored clayhe transforms into the animal of that colour. For example, if Clayton picksup a grey piece of clay he becomes Oozy, picking up a purple piece of claywill transform him into Goopy, etc. If Clayton transforms from one clayanimal to another, he will also get a wandering Orb.                                   -[5]-CAST OF CHATACTERSMucksterClayton transforms into Muckster when he gets a red piece of clay. Likemost cats Muckster has razor sharp claws. They come in handy when Mucksterneeds to defent himself against ene- mies and cling to the sides of trees.Muckster can climb up and down the trees; getting to places others cannot.All of this makes Muckster a rather arrogant feline. He believes he is thebest Claymate.OOZYBy collecting a gray piece of clay, Clayton becomes Oozy the Mouse. Oozy isable to run faster than any of the other Claymates and defeats his enemieswith his mighty roar.Once Oozy starts running, nothing can keep up with him. Thanks to atechnique called Blaze Processing, it is possible for Oozy to accelerate tohis amazingly high top speed. He will seem like a blur, screaming acrossyour television.One of Oozy's other attributes is his small size. He is also able to slipthrough many holes which other Claymates, like Muckster, can only lookthrough.                                   -[6]-GOOPYClayton can transform into Goopy by picking up a purple piece of clay.Goopy can swim around the sea with ease, zipping by enemies who get in hisway. He is also able to jump onto the shore whenever he wishes. Goopy isonly able to stay on dry land only as he can hold his breath. If he cannotget back to the water in time, he will become the clay ball again. Goopydoes not like anything getting in his way and will spit air bubbles atenemies to clear them out of his path.GLOBMEISTERWhen Clayton finds a brown piece of Clay, he can become Globmeister theGopher. Globmeister is able to burrow into the ground through loose dirt,getting into caverns none of other Claymates can reach. The deeper the holehe needs to dig, the happier Globmeister becomes. While happy with diggingholes throughout the world, Globmeister also collects acorns in his sparetime. He can throw his collection of acorns at enemies trying to stop himfrom digging, there is nothing which makes Globmeister more unhappy, so healways makes sure that he has as many acorns as he needs.                                   -[7]-DOH-DOHBy merging with a green piece of clay, Clayton can take on the form of Doh-Doh the Bird. Doh-Doh is able to fly into the air by flappung furiouslywith his wings. Although he is not very graceful, he can still fly overenemies and up into the sky to places none of the other Claymates canreach. He also needs a runway to get up enough speed to leap into the air.He can only get in the air by taking off like an airplane. There was notenough clay when Doh-Doh was made, so his wings are much smaller than theyshould be. Because of his small wings, Doh-Doh tires easily while flyingand can only stay in the air for a short time. When Doh-Doh runs short ofbreath he will stop flapping his wings and fall to the ground. Because heis made of clay, he never gets hurt by any of these falls and is ready tojump into the air right away.                                   -[8]-PLAYING THE GAMEStarting the GameBegin by inserting the Claymates Game Pak into the Super NintendoEnterainment System and turning the Power Switch ON.

When a robot hits atree, a rock, or a fence it will turn. By moving the rocks and carts youcan have the robots turn when you want.                                   -[19]-You will want to make the robots move towards the axes and bombs. When arobot moves onto one of these objects, it will pick it up and begin toflash. The robot still does not know how to get to the obstacle inClayton's path, so you will have to steer it with the rocks and cartsagain. Once the flashing robots finds an obstacle, it will clear theblockade out of Clayton's path.If any of the robots are stuck in a part of the map where they cannot helpClayton, he can send the robots back their entry place by punching themusing the Y button.

Goopy can swim quickly through the water while the clay ball onlymoves slowly.                                   -[25]-CONTINUING THE GAMEAs soon as Clayton has lost all his lives the game is over and the continueGame screen will appear.
