= = = = = = = = = = 1.Story = = = = = = = = = = You play Master Higgins, an odd-looking islander seeking to rescue his girlfriend who has been captured by aliens. You will travel from island to island in search of Tina (your aforementioned girlfriend). Along the way you will encounter all sorts of foes. You will have to make your way through eight islands in order to reach your goal. If this story sounds familiar it's probably because it's almost the exact same one as in the original Adventure Island. = = = = = = = = = = 2. Controls = = = = = = = = = = Control Pad- Cardinal direction you wish to move in A-Fire weapon if on dinosaur, throw axe if walking by foot B-Jump In order to do a super jump press up and the direction your jumping in when you jump. Other important things: The energy bar at the top of your screen is very important. If it runs out you die. In order to keep it full make sure to get plenty of fruit. = = = = = = = = = = 3. Items = = = = = = = = = =

Fruit- The most common item in the game, this gives you energy and points Milk- Full energy and 2000 points Meat- See Milk Skateboard- Speed Up Fairy- Temporarily makes you invincible Egg Plant- Drains your energy, making it very easy for you to die. = = = = = = = = = = 4. Dinosaurs = = = = = = = = = = Blue Dinosaur- Shoots electricity from it's tail Maroon Dinosaur- Shoots fire balls from it's mouth Swimming Dinosaur- Swims quickly underwater Pterodactyl-Flys and drops bombs while you ride on its back Keep in mind that while riding a dinosaur your energy runs out more quickly than when I personally find the pterodactyls next to useless, and find the blue and maroon dinosaurs the most useful = = = = = = = = = = 5.Walktrough = = = = = = = = = = (A note: The levels you play are chosen depending upon which egg you chose. I always pick the first egg so in order to use this walkthrough you should do the same. No matter what you always end up playing 7 of the possible 8 levels on the island. The only ones you definitely play are the first and last levels on the island.) ======================= ISLAND ONE: FERN ISLAND ======================= Level 1-1: This should be a real breeze, just pick up the fruit as it appears, and dodge or kill the enemies you discover along the way. Should take you all of 3 minutes. If you're on your skateboard about halfway through the level a dinosaur will come and help you out. 2nd Jungle Level: You should have no trouble here, follow the same process as with level 1-1. You can skip this entire level if you find the hidden key towards the end of this level. Pyramid/Temple Level-This level shows you as going to a pyramid but you instead go to a short easy level outside with a maroon sky as the background. This is a very easy level, much like every level on the first two islands Cave Level- Open the first egg to get a skateboard. A matter of seconds later you should be upgraded to a blue dinosaur. Another easy levels as long as you manage not to get hit. Pink Sky Level- Yet another easy level. You should have at least one dinosaur by now, but if not you can earn another by killing the crow near the end of this level. Lava Jungle Level- This is another easy level. Just be careful not to fall in the lava and make sure to upgrade to a maroon dinosaur by

finding one in the egg early on in the level. Platform Cave- Basically this is just an easy upward climb. Make sure to get the milk on the right near the end for full health Boss Level- This is basically a slightly harder of the earlier Lava Jungle Level. There is a Pterodactyl in one egg that may come in handy against the boss at the end of this level. ======================= ISLAND TWO: LAKE ISLAND ======================= 2-1- Hop on the skateboard found in the first egg that you see. Watch out for the boulder as you go up the hill early in the level. Right before the large hole in the ground crash into a rock on purpose and then kill the crow and collect its egg to upgrade to a maroon dinosaur 2nd Jungle Level (I believe you have to play this one)- The simplicity continues. You have the opportunity to change to a purple sea dinosaur but I wouldn't recommend taking it, as long as you have one in your reserves. Underwater Level- This is another easy level, although it can be hard to control your character underwater at first. 3rd Jungle Level- Just as easy as the previous two found on this island. Make sure to get the invincibility fairy and milk found in eggs. 2nd Underwater Level- Use the same strategy you used in the first, seeing how they're practically clones of each other. Platform Cave- The only tricky part here is jumping on the moving, spiked, platforms, and even that isn't much of a challenge Boss Level- A bit of a challenge. Make sure to avoid the spikes early on in the level and be careful not to crash into any enemies and you should be all set. =========================== ISLAND THREE: DESERT ISLAND =========================== 3-1- This is where the game starts to become a bit of a challenge (although it's still pretty easy). Get the skateboard at the beginning of the level and be careful not to crash into any enemies. Make sure to pick up the meat towards the end of the level for full energy. Desert Island Beach- This level hosts the introduction of falling coconuts, so from now on be on the look out for them on any beach levels. Also make sure to look out for the foxes which may ambush you from behind in this level. Cave- This level has some very tricky jumps, so take your time. Halfway through there should be an egg containing a blue dinosaur. Pink Sky Beach- A pretty easy level, just take your time to avoid the fire and the mosquitoes and you shouldn't have too much trouble. Desert Level- Another fairly easy level. Just watch out for the scorpions and be careful not to sink into the quick sand and you should

be all set. Boss Level- See desert level ======================= ISLAND FOUR: ICE ISLAND ======================= Level 1(Ice Mountain 1)- A bit of a challenge. There are a few difficult jumps here and there but you shouldn't have too much trouble, just take your time. Ice Mountain 2- Watch out for the fires that seem to be everywhere (must be cuz of the cold). Once again a few difficult jumps here and there but overall not to hard. Ice Forest- Another easy level. At the end of the level make sure to get the key hidden in an egg for a chance at tons of fruit, energy and points. Ice Beach- Watch out for all the white pigs in this level and make sure to time your jump over the fire at the end of the level and you should have no problem Ice Plain- Early in this level there is a hidden egg, which will get you a key. Pick it up and you will be brought to a dragon that will be kind enough to give you an item. Watch out for the penguins in this level as they will drop snowballs down that can kill you quite easily. Underwater Level- This plays just like all the other underwater levels you've seen so far with the exception that you go in and out of the water. Boss Level- The only hard part to this one is one to do it with just Master Higgins simply press up making the jump. If on a dinosaur use it's firing an inch from the ledge and while he's still going and you should make it no problem. ======================== ISLAND FIVE: CAVE ISLAND ======================== Level 1 (Cave One)- This plays just like all the other caves you have visited so far in the game. Only time that this is a challenge is the end when you have to jump on some moving platforms. Forest- This is also just like all the other forest you've played so far. Halfway through the level jump on the spring for a ton of energy. You can get a purple water dinosaur from the egg at the end of this level if you want. Cave 2 (Lava Cave)- About halfway through this level you can find an egg with a key in it that will allow you to skip the rest of this island. I suggest that you do. If you choose to play this whole level through don't take a because it will drain your energy way too fast. Be prepared to have to make another one of those mega jumps at the end of the level. large jump. In order and right while ability while about really fast hit jump

Cave 3 (Vertical Cave)- This is a bit of a challenge. There is a blue dinosaur halfway through this level; make sure to get it. Cave 4 (Water Cave)- This level is really easy _if_ you make sure to use the purple water dinosaur. Just use the dinosaur to swim through the water and be careful not to run into any enemies and you should be all set. Left Mountain Level (appears as a mountain on the screen)- There is a hidden egg halfway through this level that contains a key that will bring you to a hidden area full of fruit. Make sure to watch out for the foxes that will try and ambush you. Right Mountain Level- The only thing to watch out for here is there will be a place where there will be a drop between two platforms and an egg in the middle of them; DO NOT get that egg, it contains an egg plant which will drain you of all your energy. Underwater Level (appears as a mini-island)- You can get a 3rd axe about halfway through this level and I recommend that you do, just in case you lose the others. As always in this type of level simply use a purple dinosaur and take your time and you should have no trouble at all. Beach Level- An easy short level, just be sure to avoid the boulders, falling coconuts, and fire. Vertical Cave (Cave 5)- Make sure to break the first egg for a milk, you'll need the full energy. Try to avoid enemies and finish this level as quickly as you can, because there is little fruit in this level, and you may run out of energy and die if you don't. Boss Level- Simply use a water dinosaur and beat this level and take your time and this level should be a cake walk. ======================== ISLAND SIX: CLOUD ISLAND ======================== Level 1 (Forest 1)- Watch out for the purple mosquitoes. Make sure to get the egg at the end of the level, which should contain a pterodactyl. Underwater Level- You really have to take your time in this level or you won't make it far in this level. Make sure to pick up the axe that is found towards the bottom of the screen near the middle of the level. Mountain Level 1- This level is kind of hard so make sure to take your time. Take special care not to get hit by the octopuses that that spring up from the water, as they appear quite suddenly. Bottom Right Cloud- This is another hard level. Make sure to time your jumps well and take your time so not to collide with enemies and this will be much easier. Mountain Level 2- There are a few challenging jumps here but just time them well and you should be all set. Vertical Cave- You may want to ignore all the enemies and just go through as quickly as you can because there will be very little energy to find in this level. If you want there is a maroon dinosaur in the

level, but be aware it may be time consuming to get it. Forest 2 (Pink-skied forest)- A very easy level. The second half of this level doesn't even contain enemies., and the first half contains very few. Lava Cave- Also not a very challenging level. Make sure not to fall into the lava and watch out for bats and you should have no trouble. Beach- You have to watch out for the foxes that ambush you in this level, because they appear a lot. Other than that you should use the same strategy you use the same strategy you always use. Boss Level- Just play this using the same strategy as all the previous cave levels and you should have no trouble at all. If you have a pterodactyl in reserve you'll probably want to use it. ============================== LEVEL SEVEN: VOLCANO ISLAND ============================== Level 1 (Mountain Level 1)- Once again take your time and watch out for the octopuses and you shouldn't have any problems finishing this level. Pink-Skied Forest- Nothing important in this level, just be careful to avoid the mosquitoes. Lava Cave- There are a lot of fire balls popping up from the lava in this level, so watch out for them. Also make sure to time your jumps well so you don't fall into the lava. Mid-Right Mountain- Be sure to take your time because there aren't many enemies in this level but when you do find them they'll be in fairly large groups. Grey/Green Cave- Be very careful in this level, or you're bound to get hit by a fireball. Beach- Follow the usual strategy. Halfway through this level near the pit make sure to kill all four crows to earn an egg containing a maroon dinosaur. Pink-skied Forest 2(found between the two tunnels)- This level has enemies swarming everywhere but luckily most are fairly slow, in fact some may not even move at all, so this level shouldn't be much trouble. Left Volcano- Follow the same rules as the mid-right volcano, the two levels are very similar. Boss Level- This level is actually quite a challenge. First of all make sure to be careful of the volcanoes and the lava rocks that they shoot out at you. Shortly after the 2nd volcano don't open the dinosaur egg because it contains an energy-draining eggplant. Towards the end of the level watch out for the small lava pits in the ground. ====================================== ISLAND EIGHT: DINOSAUR ISLAND (last level!) ======================================

Level One- A pretty easy level. All you should do is make sure to not get hit by the snowballs the penguins throw and you shouldn't have a lot trouble beating this level. Underwater Ice Level- This is yet another easy level. Make sure to watch out for the spiked balls floating in the water. About halfway through the level you can get a spare axe, I recommend doing so, just in case you need it. Ice Cave- This level is hard. Watch out for the large pieces of ice falling from the ceiling and also be careful not to stand on the ice platforms above the large hole towards the middle of the level for too long as they will collapse on you. Upper Forest- Watch out for the foxes that will sneak up on you in the beginning of this level. After that you won't find many enemies and the ones you do see will go down pretty easily. Underwater Cave- Simply use a underwater dinosaur and you will have little trouble with this one. Right Volcano- Make sure to watch out for all the volcanoes and fireballs in this level. There are few enemies in this level, luckily, so just worry about avoiding the fireballs and volcanoes and you shouldn't have a whole lot of trouble. Left Volcano- Almost a clone of the right volcano, just a few more enemies. Grey/Green Cave (Vertical Cave)- Pretty much a clone of the other vertical caves, except with a few more enemies. Watch out for the bats; they appear out of nowhere and are very, very, fast. Also make sure to take your time jumping over the two torches at the end. Soon as you make it over a bat will attack you, so be on the lookout for it. Bottom-Left Mountain- The enemies in this level is a cinch so you should be able to take them out without any problem. However some of the jumps in this level are close to impossible if you're rushing through, so take you time, trust me it'll be quicker than trying to rush through and dying all the time. Boss Level- Take a purple underwater dinosaur and make sure to hurry through here, because there is only one energy power up in this whole level, a milk you find about 1/4 of the way through. About halfway through there will be a pool of water, jump in with your dinosaur and make sure not to get hit, and hurry through, while making sure to toss your axes at every enemy you see. After you get out of the water run into the first enemy you see to get rid of your dinosaur and go as quickly as you can through the rest of this level, because you should be running short on energy. = = = = = = = = = = 6.Bosses = = = = = = = = = = Fern Island Boss: Living Wall Level: 1.5/5 This is the first and easiest boss. Simply throw your axes center of the wall and if any of the green spheres get too destroy them using your axe. This guy should be no trouble Difficulty toward the close just at all,

especially not if you have a dinosaur. Lake Island Boss: King Hermit Crab Difficulty Level: 2.5/5 Just wait for the crab to stick his head out of the shell and then unload axes on him like a mad man. He should go down in a 4 or 5 rounds. Desert Island Boss: Sand Scorpion Difficulty Level: 3/5 Wait for him to finish firing then just throw as many axes as you can before he disappears. If you want you can just not use the platforms at all, although they help. Ice Island Boss: Giant Octopus Difficulty Level: 3.5/5 This boss is the hardest yet, but still not much of a challenge. Stand on the middle block of ice move from end to end of it, depending on which side of the room the octopus is at. Also be careful to avoid the blocks of ice falling from the ceiling. Cave Island Boss: Mutant Moth Difficulty Level: 3/5 While not a very big offensive threat this guy is pretty hard to hit. The time you're most likely to hit him is when he is in the middle of the screen. Simply stand on the right platform and unload all the axes you can on him. Cloud Island Boss: Blue Hawk Difficulty Level: 3/5 This guy is pretty easy, the only trick is to use a hit and run technique. Throw 3 or 4 axes at him, jump up a cloud, later, rinse, repeat. This might take a while but it works pretty well and you have a low risk of getting hit if you keep moving. Volcano Island Boss: Blue Scorpion When the scorpion is on the bottom big platform stand on the ground and throw your axes at him. Dinosaur Island Bosses- Boss One: Green Hanging Scorpion. Difficulty Level: 2/5 Simply stay on the left side of the screen and toss your axes at him and he'll go down in no time. Dinosaur Island Bosses- Boss Two- Blue Bug: Difficulty Level: 4/5 This boss will teleport to all four corners in this order: top-right, bottom-right, top-left, bottom-left. Keeping this in mind go to the opposite side of the room that he's in and unload your axes on him, making sure to keep moving so that he can't target you with his bullets. = = = = = = = = = = 7.Contact information = = = = = = = = = = For questions, comments or suggestions e-mail me at skapunk_14@hotmail.com or IM me at my AIM name skapunkdude14 or DJosefX. = = = = = = = = = = 8.Disclaimer = = = = = = = = = =
