GETTING STARTED
-----------------
First, before I proceed with this FAQ, let me introduce you to the different
objects you can collect in this game.
Pearl Necklaces: You can drop these on the ground when being approached by an
enemy. The enemy will trip and disappear.
Dart Gun and Darts: Used to temporarily stun an enemy.
Flying Fists: This weapon looks like a gun. When fired, the fist keeps going
until it is off the screen or hits an enemy. An enemy disappears when hit with
this.
Super Flying Fists: These are very much like the flying fists except that they
are slightly bigger and they don't stop when they hit an enemy. They keep going
until they are off the screen.
Bell: When you collect this, you do a flip every time you jump. You can use
this flip to get rid of enemies. This lasts until you are hit by an enemy.
Cookies: Collect five sets of four to get an extra heart.
Pizza Slice: Collect six of these for an extra life.
Whole Pizza: Gives you one extra life.
Candy cane: Gives you temporary invincibility.
Bottle: Gives you temporary speed and invincibility.

LEVEL 1: HOTEL
----------------
------------
Introduction
------------
The object of this level is to get out of the hotel safely.
The hotel level in this game is made up of seven floors:
The first floor, the lobby, will have hidden objects throughout. This FAQ will
direct you as to where to find them.
The next four floors, floors 11, 12, 14, and 15, will be played in random
order. Each of these floors will have hotel rooms, some with open doors. Unless
noted otherwise, every open hotel room will have a maid on the bed. The maid
will jump up and down on the bed and throw pillows at you. Some rooms will have
hidden objects above the beds. These items are found by jumping on the bed and
jumping back off. When you reach the end of each of these floors, turn around,
go back to the elevator, press the elevator button, and get inside to go to the
next floor.
The next floor, floor 16, will be very much like the previous four floors,
except that there will be another elevator at the other end of the floor for
you to get on.
The final floor, the kitchen, does not have any hidden items.
---------
The Lobby
---------
When the game begins, go to the right to get away from the hotel manager before
he grabs you. Jump on the first couch you see and jump off of the right side of
it. A pizza slice will appear for you to grab. When the hotel manager has
turned around and is close to the hotel door, jump back on the couch and jump
to
the left. A pearl necklace will appear for you to grab. You can now continue
moving to the right.
There is a hidden dart gun above the second lobby sofa, right above the vacuum.
Go into the gift shop. Jump up on the shelves until you can't get any higher.
Jump to the right to grab the flying fist shooter.
Jump onto the fourth lobby couch - the one right before the reception area.
Jump up. As soon as your feet touch the couch, jump again. You will be jumping
higher and higher. After doing this about four times, you will reach an upper
platform. On this platform, you will find a super flying fist shooter and a
whole pizza. At the end of the platform, you will fall through the floor and
land back in the lobby.
You will see a lobby sofa with a moving suitcase at the right end. Jump on this
sofa and jump off it on the right side (over the suitcase). A pearl necklace
will appear.
The next sofa you see will have an old lady at the right end. Above the lady is
a hidden pizza slice.
When you see a news room, DO NOT ENTER IT! There is a man inside who will grab
you if you enter. Pass right by this room.
At the end of the lobby will be an elevator and a door with suitcases flying
from it. Jump on the platform below the elevator button and keep pressing the
button by pressing UP on the control pad. As you do this, dodge any suitcases
that are being thrown at you. Keep pressing the button until the elevator door
opens. When this happens, go in the elevator. You will be taken to the next
floor - either 11, 12, 14, or 15.
Note: For the next few floors, I will list items that will be in certain rooms.
If you do not, at first, see this item in the room, it will probably be hidden
above the bed.
--------
Floor 11
--------
There will be cookies in room 1122.
There will be cookies in room 1124.
--------
Floor 12
--------
At the beginning of this floor, there will be a man who wants to grab you. Go
to the right as soon as you get off of the elevator to get away from this man.
There will be a dart gun in room 1221.
Instead of a maid, the hotel manager will be in room 1223 to grab you. Be
careful to stay away from him. There will also be a pizza slice in this room.
There will be a flying fist shooter, a pearl necklace, and a candy cane in room
1225.
--------
Floor 14
--------
There will be cookies in room 1422.
There will be a super flying fist shooter, a pearl necklace, and a pizza slice
in room 1424.
There will be a dart gun and a bell in room 1425.
--------
Floor 15
--------
There will be a man at the beginning of this floor. Go to the right as soon as
you get off of the elevator to get away.
There will be two slices of pizza in room 1522.
--------
Floor 16
--------
This floor will come as soon as floors 11, 12, 14, and 15 are completed.
There will be a bottle in room 1621.
There will be a bell in room 1622.
The hotel manager is in room 1623. There is nothing else in this room, so it
would be better off to just pass by it.
At the end of the floor, there will be an elevator. Press the elevator button
once and go inside. This will take you to the last floor, the kitchen.
-----------
The Kitchen
-----------
Jump on the boxes to the right and grab the flying fist shooter. Then, head
left.
There will be a man in your way as you proceed. Hit him once with a flying
fist. He will bend over. Hit him one more time with a flying fist before he
gets back up. Do NOT use a dart on this man - he can still grab you.
When on the conveyor belt, avoid the sprayed powder.
This conveyor belt will end at a square hole in a small machine. Jump over this
hole. If you do not, you will get sucked in it.
There will be two chef's chopping meat. Avoid the chopped pieces.
At the end of this floor, there will be a chef you have to defeat. The chef
will be throwing meat, but you do not have to duck or jump over it - it will go
right over your head. When the chef is on the floor, preferably right after he
jumps, slide into him. Do this about four or five times until he slides of the
screen. When this happens, a chef's hat will be jumping up and down on the
ground. Jump on top of the chef's hat to make a whole pizza appear. After you
grab the pizza, run to the door to the left.
------------------
LEVEL 2: STREETS
------------------
------------
Introduction
------------
The object of this level is to get to an old, broken down building owned by a
relative.
WATCH OUT! There are enemies hiding in the trees and bushes. They won't jump
out and chase you; but if you go to fast, you might hit one before you had a
chance of knowing he was there.
-------
Streets
-------
When you see the first bench, jump on it and then jump to the platform next to
it from the right. From here, jump in the tree to your left (where the enemy
is). In the tree, you will find two pizza slices. Leave the tree by falling
down the hole in the center.
Use the previous technique at the next bench. There will be a candy cane in
this tree.
Soon, the shrubbery will end and there will be a line of lampposts. Climb the
third lamppost by jumping on the bottom of it and then pressing the UP button.
When you start to slow down, jump to land at the top of the lamppost. From
here, there are small platforms you must climb to reach the top platform. Use
this map to help - just follow the numbers by going from 1 to 2 to 3 and so on:

When you reach the top, go left until you come to the end of the platform you
are on. Jump off to land on the ground. Go left until you see a sewer. Go into
it. Go right, avoiding the birds and the objects they drop, until you come to a
ladder. Climb the ladder. When you're back on the streets, continue left.
At the end of the streets, you will come to a building with a few windows. Each
of the windows will have bars in them, except for one. Jump in this window. You
will now be at level 3.
----------------
LEVEL 3: HOUSE
----------------
------------
Introduction
------------
The object of this level is to get to the roof of the building you are in. In
order to do this, you must go through three floors, starting at the first. To
get to each floor, you need a key (one per door) that you will find on the same
floor as the door it belongs to. The door, which is marked "UP," is all the way
on the left side of the screen, while the key is (usually) all the way on the
other side.
While you play this level, you must use some traps to allude the criminals,
Harry and Marv. How to use these traps will be described in this FAQ.
Don't forget - Harry is the shorter, broader criminal. Marv is the taller,
thinner criminal.
-------
Floor 1
-------
At the first trap you see, jump onto the sawhorse and then onto the wire
between the ladders. Go the left and get right on top of the left ladder. As
soon as Marv is under the large weight, jump. The weight will fall on Marv and
Harry will just keep running. Continue to the right.
There is a pizza slice all the way at the right end of the room. If you want
it, pass the living room, get the pizza, and head back.
When you're ready, go into the living room by pressing the "UP" button. As soon
as you enter the living room, jump onto the couch right behind you before Marv
grabs you. As soon as you pass the crack in the floor, you should be safe from
him. At the end of this room, you will see a large hole in the floor with the
boards projecting from the walls. Jump on the boards and fall into the hole all
the way to the right of the room. You will fall into another room. When you
fall, you should have grabbed the key in the progress. If you have not grabbed
the key, exit to the left of the screen and try again. If you have grabbed the
key, exit to the left and go into the door marked "UP."
-------
Floor 2
-------
Grab the dart gun to the left.
You will soon come across a sawhorse with a bucket of paint on the edge of it.
Shoot the bucket from the left with a dart. The paint bucket will topple over,
spilling paint on the floor. Jump over the spilled paint, and go a little bit
to the right. When Marv starts chasing you, run back the other way and jump
over the paint. Marv will get stuck in the paint and will disappear. Jump back
over the paint and continue to the right.
As you go the right, you will come across a door. This is a shortcut that takes
you farther down the room more quickly. To use the shortcut, go in the door by
standing in front of it and pressing "UP." As soon as you're in the next room,
jump over the rope on the ground. DO NOT walk on this rope - it is a trap.
Avoid falling in the hole as you jump on the boards to grab the key. When you
have the key, jump to the door to exit. You can now continue to the right.
Soon you will see a small pile of wood. When you see this, have your dart gun
ready. Walk past the wood until Harry starts to chase you. Go back to the other
side of the wood and shoot it a few times with your darts. Harry will disappear
after three hits from the wood.
Go right until you find the key you need. There will also be a bell here. Go
all the way back to the beginning of the floor where the "UP" door is. Go
through this door to proceed to the next floor.
-------
Floor 3
-------
The first door that you come across after the "UP" door will be a shortcut.
When you enter the room, jump on the beams until you grab the key. Then, jump
to the door.
Go all the way to the right until you find the key. You can now proceed to the
"UP" door to go to the next level.
------------------
LEVEL 4: GETAWAY
------------------
------------
Introduction
------------
The object of this level is to get from the building to the town Christmas tree
before Marv and Harry grab you.
Take your time on this level. Don't go too fast. There are too many enemies
that will hit you if you try to speed through the level. Just don't go too slow
or you'll get caught by Marv and Harry.
-------
Getaway
-------
Immediately run to the right. When you come to a brick wall on top of the
building, jump over it. Go to the rope where you'll slide down. Continue to the
right until you come to the Christmas tree.
---------------
LEVEL 5: TREE
---------------
------------
Introduction
------------
This is the last level in the game. This is where you try to defeat Marv and
Harry.
----
Tree
----
As soon as this level starts, grab the dart gun to the right of the screen.
You'll need to use your darts in this level.
Hit Marv with a dart and climb up the tree.
When you see Harry, shoot him with a dart and continue up the tree.
When you get to the top of this level, there will be a picture of you floating
at the top of the screen. At this point, Marv will appear and try to jump at
you. Dodge him and use your darts to keep him from grabbing you. As soon as
your picture at the top of the screen is right above Marv, press the UP button.
After hitting him three times, he will disappear. Then Harry will come on the
screen to try to jump at you. Use the same technique on him that you did on
Marv. After hitting him three times, he will disappear and you will have won
the game.
