I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

There are four stages to the game, each stage has you rescuing people and the
later ones have a time limit and other unique qualities.
Every stage has two basic parts to it though. In the first part you drive your
truck through a maze to the house with the flashing "house" sign. In the
second part you drive your truck to line up the ladder under the people/pets
that you need to rescue, then you press A to rescue them.
The game tries to make the first part harder in later levels by making the
mazes multiple screens big. The second part is made harder by having you
rescue more people/pets.
============================
Stage 01: 4 Mazes - 4 Houses
============================
-------
Maze 01
-------
The first maze for this stage is very simple, just follow the path to the
second fork. Now follow the path down as far as it goes before heading left
and following the path to the house.
[Rescue A]
Move to the cat in the tree and line your ladder up below it, then press A to
rescue it. That's about all there is to saving pets/people in this game, so
you've pretty much mastered the basics by this point.
-------
Maze 02
-------
Follow the path in front of you down past the first fork, then go right past
the store and down the first fork. Follow the path down and right to another
fork, then follow the path above to the house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 2 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 03
-------
Follow the path down past a fork, then take the left path in the next fork and
follow it down to the bottom left corner of the maze. Head right along the
bottom until you pass the gas station, then go up a little at the next fork
before heading right at another nearby fork. Finally head up from here to
reach the house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 3 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 04
-------
Head south along any path until you reach the store, then head northeast below
it. Now go up and clockwise around to reach the house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 4 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear the stage!
============================
Stage 02: 3 Mazes - 6 Houses
============================
Every maze in this stage has two houses with people to rescue instead of only
one. Be sure to pay attention to the mazes in this stage because stages 03 and
04 use IDENTICAL mazes.
-------
Maze 01
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the top right one first.
Head right and hug the gas station as you continue right to a long vertical
path. Go down a little to a fork, then head right to a wall, before going down
to another wall. Now head right until you hit the edge of the maze, then go up
to the first house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 2 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
Once you've rescued the people inside you can head towards the second house
that's southwest of you.
Follow the same route that you just took in reverse as you head left to the
long vertical path and the store. Head south next and go left at the second
fork. Go south until you can go left, then head left and follow the path to
the next house.
[Rescue B]
This house has 2 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 02
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the top right one first.
Head right until you reach the store, then go south past the store and the gas
station. Go right at the fork beyond and drive up to reach the first house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 3 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
Once you've rescued the people inside you can head towards the second house
that's southwest of you.
Follow the same route that you just took in reverse until you reach the fork
below the gas station. Go left from here until you reach a pair of large
vertical paths, then go south down either one. Head left a little and work
your way up some short paths to reach the next house.
[Rescue B]
This house has 3 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 03
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the upper one first.
Head right and take the right path slightly below you to some water, then go
right above it until you reach a fork. Go south to the gas station and north
up the path on your left, then follow the path to the first house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 4 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
Once you've rescued the people inside you can head towards the second house
that's south of you.
Follow the same route that you just took in reverse until you reach the fork at
the very top of the maze, then head right to the northeast corner of the maze.
Go down to the fork below and go south along the vertical path to your left,
then go left a little before going north along another long path. Follow the
path left past a fork, then continue along it until you reach the next house.
[Rescue B]
This house has 4 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear the stage!
=========================================
Stage 03: 3 Mazes - 6 Houses (50 Seconds)
=========================================
This stage has the EXACT same three mazes from the second stage, only this time
you have 50 seconds to get to a house or you fail the stage.
-------
Maze 01
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the top right one first.
Head right and hug the gas station as you continue right to a long vertical
path. Go down a little to a fork, then head right to a wall, before going down
to another wall. Now head right until you hit the edge of the maze, then go up
to the first house.

=========================================
Stage 04: 3 Mazes - 6 Houses (50 Seconds)
=========================================
This stage has the EXACT same three mazes from stages 02 and 03, you still have
the same 50 second time limit as well. However this time you also need to find
a key in each maze, the key shows up in a random location though so I can't
really help you with that. Basically keep an eye out for a flashing key while
you take the usual route to the house, then grab it and head to the house.
-------
Maze 01
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the top right one first.
Otherwise just keep an eye out for the key, and check elsewhere if it's not in
your path.
Head right and hug the gas station as you continue right to a long vertical
path. Go down a little to a fork, then head right to a wall, before going down
to another wall. Now head right until you hit the edge of the maze, then go up
to the first house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 2 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
Once you've rescued the people inside you can head towards the second house
that's southwest of you.
Follow the same route that you just took in reverse as you head left to the
long vertical path and the store. Head south next and go left at the second
fork. Go south until you can go left, then head left and follow the path to
the next house.
[Rescue B]

like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 02
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the top right one first.

your path.
Head right until you reach the store, then go south past the store and the gas

[Rescue B]

like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
-------
Maze 03
-------
Of the two houses in this maze, you're heading towards the upper one first.
Otherwise just keep an eye out for the key, and check elsewhere if it's not in
your path. Unfortunately with this stage being so big it's often quite
difficult to find the key and make it to the house in time, but if you keep at
it you'll get there.
Head right and take the right path slightly below you to some water, then go
right above it until you reach a fork. Go south to the gas station and north
up the path on your left, then follow the path to the first house.
[Rescue A]
This house has 4 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear this part.
Once you've rescued the people inside you can head towards the second house
that's south of you.
Follow the same route that you just took in reverse until you reach the fork at
the very top of the maze, then head right to the northeast corner of the maze.
Go down to the fork below and go south along the vertical path to your left,
then go left a little before going north along another long path. Follow the
path left past a fork, then continue along it until you reach the next house.
[Rescue B]
This house has 4 people to rescue, one in each window. Simply line them up
like before and rescue each one as they appear to clear the stage!
At this point you've completed the entire game, there isn't even an ending to
watch.

For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
