Note: In the interest of product improvement, specifications and design are subject to change without prior notice. CONTROL FUNCTIONS ----------------- Toobin' is for one or two dudes (or dudettes). You can be either BIF or JET, the world's baddest party animals on water. Plug your controllers into Port 1 and 2. CONTROL PAD - Moves Bif or Jet. Select Button - Select score/Inventory display. Start Button - Start/Pause game. B Button - Throws a can to the left. A Button - Throws a can to the right. Controller 1 Controls BIF in 1- or 2-player games. Controller 2 Controls JET in 2-player games, or BIF in 1-player games. THE SCREENS ----------- Title Screen When you first load the game cartridge, a Title Screen appears. Press Select or use the control pad up or down to choose between 1 or 2 player modes. Note: If you hang out here for a while, the Credit Screen appears. If that happens, you can press the Start Button to get back to the Title Screen, dude. Press Start to start the game (like, it takes a real rocket scientist to figure that out!). Transition Screen After you go into the whirlpool at the end of a river, the Transition Screen appears. When you're ready to hit the waves again, press any button to start. THE GAME -------- One Player: you're on your own, dude. Two Players: you're Bif, and you take turns with Jet competing to win the game. Special One-Player Mode You can use both controllers to control Bif in One-Player Mode. This way, you and a friend can play at the same time. Like, maybe, one of you could control Bif's movement in the river while the other throws the cans. That way, Bif'll have one hand free for holding a cold one. Pause If you want to stop in the middle of a game, press the Start button. The game will stop and the screen will fade out and then fade back. Press the Start button again to keep on playin'. Special Items to Pick Up - Treasure chest: 200, 500 or 1000 points, dude. - Floating can: pick it up to add to your stash (9's the max you can have). - Sixpacks: looks like six cans, but you actually get more. You lose your sixpack when you sink or when you hit a whirlpool. - Gates: go through them to increase the score multiplier. Miss one, and your score multiplier gets, like, totally wiped out. - Beach Ball: pumps you up. - Patch: you need these to repait your toob. - Letters: totally toobular things to have. You can get a new toob and 3 extra patches for three letters, and you can get a big bonus for all seven letters. HINTS ----- According to BIF: Like, feel your way dwon those waves, dude, and use that awesome Control Pad. But stay away from those sharp things, you know, or throw cans at 'em to sink 'em. Oh, and like, pick up cans and things that look cool. Most of yer enemies think that cans are totally uncool, and they'll scare away or freeze when they get hit by one. I counted 33 different enemies, 9 obstacles and 49 rivers, but like, I never was too good at math, you know. So, like, don't sue me if I didn't count 'em right or somethin'. Anyway, when you see the cooler at the second party, if you're like, totally ecological, you'll get those big points. And you'll totally deserve them, dude, because class 9 is, like, really tough. JET's Motto: A patch in the hand is worth two of anything in the bush. Don't get spastic and wipe out if you miss something. Like, just keep cool, man. TROUBLE-SHOOTING ---------------- If the game-pak doesn't work the first time you try it, re-insert the cartridge 5-10 times to clean the contacts. Also, stay cool and try pushing the Reset button.
