One Day...
"Sorry babe, it looks like our little date at the malt shop is postponed. It
seems I'm all tied up at the moment. Please help me out of here, or you'll see
my bad side."

You will start off near a fire hydrent. You can jump on the water it shoots up
to launch you in the air and you can go on the roof, or you can stay on the
ground and take the low route.You can just go right through these when they
stop but you can't kil them. There will also be four windows on the building
you start off in front of in this shape:
_____   _____
|     | |     |
|     | |     |
|     | |     | <------- There will be a bottle thrower here. Just wait for the
|     | |     |           bottle to stop and disappear, when it starts to fade
|_____| |_____|           away, just start skating past it.
_____   _____
|     | |     |
|     | |     |
|     | |     |
|     | |     |
|_____| |_____|

Now on the roof of the next building will be a ninja. He will just run to the
same column of the screen you are on so try to make him stay up there. They are
pretty hard to kill so try to avoid them whenever you can. Now you can just go
to the right and jump on the boxes. There won't be any other enemies up to
those boxes. Very slowly, fall off of those boxes so you won't fall into a big
hole. Now go right and jump over that big hole in the ground.

Immediately after that jump, there will be a sewer monkey. Try to jump over
that one to the best of your ability and be careful because shortly after that
will be a bottle thrower in the first second floor window. When you reach
another door, there will be a ninja on the roof. Try to just skate to the right
and forget about him. Near the end will be a ledge you can jump onto to get on
the roof but right before it will be a fire hydrent that you need to use. Jump
on that ledge and on the roof. Go to the left for a heart. Now kill the ninja
so you can advance.

Go back to that ledge and continue to the right. There will be a clown there so
kill it as soon as possible. Go to the right and at the end of that green house
will be another ninja. After you kill that ninja, jump on the boxes right next
to you. Go to the right with no worries. When you reach the first building,
there will be one bottle thrower on the second floor. Jump go by it and once
you reach the door of the next building you finish this level off.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 2:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's...
"Rescue me you little twit! My wrists are chafing, and I've already broken a
nail. Prove to me you're a real man by getting me outta here."

Right from the start, just go right and on the trampoline. Go until you get
over the next pipe that looks like this :
             _______
            |       |
            |___    |
                |   |
Trampoline      |   | <---Pipe
  |             |   |
 \|/            |   |
  V             |   |
__TTT____________|___|____

Go on the trampoline to get over the pipe if you have to. Now go to the right
and see that little spinning thing? Jump over it. I'm going to call them sling
shots for now on so you know what they are. Go to the right and that little
pipe standing by itself will hae a sewer monkey in it. Avoid the banana it
throws and continue to the right. Jump over the next sling shot too.

Go to the right until you get to a trampoline, don't jump on it. Instead, jump
over it. Go to the right just a little more and jump over the sling shot. There
will be a trampoline on the ground, jump on it at full speed and get on the
next one. You should have enough momentum to clear that sling shot at the top.
If not, just jump over the first trampoline and under the second.

Go a little more to the right for an Elvis impersonater. You will also see a
trampoline in the air. Jump on that so you can avoid a sewer monkey. Don't jump
off this ledge just yet. You have to jump to the right and land on a pipe. At
the beginning of the pipe will also be a wrench thrower so be careful. Now you
have to make a tricky jump. You have to land on the trampoline on the ground to
jump over this hole. Once you get to the other side you will land on another
trampoline but be careful because there will be a wrench thrower shortly after
that.

Continue up these pipes by using the trampolines until you reach the top. Go to
the right when you get to the top and there will be a wrench thrower. Fall down
the hole and there will be an Elvis impersonater down there. Watch for wrenches
because you can pick them up and throw them by pressing B. Just beat the Elvis
Impersonater and go a little to the right to finish off the level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 3:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's...
"I hope you can do better than that shrimp. I've been here so long my clothes
are starting to rot. Now quit being so wimpy and get me outta here!"

You start off with two ninjas to the right of you. They will be on the crates
and you have to kill them before you can get much further. The best way to kill
these ninjas is going in the middle of the crates. Look at this diagram for a
location of where to go:
                         Go here.
                  _______   |    ________
                 |       | \|/  |        |
                 |       |  V   |        |
            _____|       |______|        |_____
           |                                   |
           |                                   |
           |                                   |
____________|                                   |____________

Go there and wait for the ninjas to come near you. When they are near you punch
them, or you can just keep punching the air until they come near you. One you
kill them, go to the right just a little bit for a sewer monkey. There will be
a bomb thrower after that and there will be a sumo wrestler. Pick up the bomb
that came out of the window and kill him with it. Once you kill him, go to the
right and jump over the hole.

Jump over the crates and do it quick because there is a sewer monkey right
after it. They will throw something that will make you lose control and you
might fall down the hole so be careful. Right after that sewer monkey, will be
another sewer monkey. Jump over the crates again because this one is more
likely to throw bombs. Right after the crates will also be a clown.

Go to the right a little for two ninjas. After those two ninjas, there will be
a sumo wrestler. These are hard so be careful. Go a little more to the right
for a fire hydrant. You can use that to avoid the sewer monkey shortly after.
On the next roof is another one of those annoying sumo wrestlers. This time,
you won't have to kill him. Grab a baloon from the sewer monkey and go to the
right. After the big hole will be the end of the level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 4:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

You will start off in a level just like level two with all of those pipes and
trampolines. Right away, there will be an Elvis Impersonator. There will also
be a bat over there so try to avoid it. Now use the trampoline to get on the
upper route, if you turn the lightswitch off, turn it back on. Go to the right.
The light might turn off, just do your best to keep it on. Skate towards that
sling shot and just keep holding the right button and keep going until you land
next to a land mine, you will have to jump over that.

There will eventually be another Elvis Impersonator. Kill him and now's your
perfect chance to turn the light on again. Now go down to the ground level and
continue going to the right. Now just keep going until you reach the frog. Jump
on it for a large boost and then go through the sling shot. Just hold right
again until you reach a small ledge. Be careful on the ledge though or the
wrench will knock you off. Just keep going over the large gap by jumping on
those trampolines. After a while you will reach an Elvis Impersonator. Kill him
to finish off the level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 5:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's
"C'mon dork, get with it. I'm starting to feel a cold coming on. If you don't
rescue me soon, I'll never go out with you again."

Start off by going to the right and jumping over the crates. Now this is easy
if you can do it right. Just go to the right as fast as possible. When there is
a gap between the crates, just jump. You will have to fight that person in the
gap though. Kill him without letting the fish get to you. Now just go to the
right as fast as you can again until you reach another person you have to
fight. Kill him to advance.

Once you have killed that last person, go to the right and jump on to the
crates. There will be a sumo wrestler there. Kill him and avoid the seagull.
Shortly after him, there will be a bodyguard. Kill him as quickly as possible
again. Now just go to the right a little further to finish this level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 6:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

You will start off with an elvis impersonator in the screen. That pipe in the
middle will also drop one wrench, use that wrench as best as possible. Kill the
Elvis Impersonator to advance. That next pipe in the top of the screen will
drop a wrench too so be careful with that one. Go a little further for another
Elvis Impersonator and a pipe dropping a wrench.

You will shortly see a moving trampoline goin up and down. Get on that to get
on the pipe to take the higher route. You can take that trampoline on the
ground to get up there easier. Get the extra health over there. Before you go
back, pull that sumo wrestler towards the bombs. Try to get an easy kill there
so you won't have to fight him later. Now go left and fall down to continue
through this level.

Go on the trampoline and you will have to take the higher pipe this time. There
will be an Elvis Impersonator there, kill him to continue. Now you have to jump
over this each gap of water by either landing on the trampolines or jumping
across the pipes. After that gap will be an Elvis Impersonator, you can kill
this one easily by punching it into the hole. After that, there's another Elvis
Impersonator and this one you'll have to kill.

Go on the moving trampoline and go through the middle route. Kill the Elvis
Impersonator there and go on the trampoline to continue to the right. Stay on
the pipes and there will be a sumo wrestler soon. Use the same strategy as the
last time to kill the sumo wrestler. Now go a little more to the right and you
will finish this level off.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 7:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's...
"O.K. Goofy, I'm really getting sick of this. Demon Dan is threatening to
tickle me, and it's all your fault. Rescue me, you poor excuse for a
boyfriend!"

You start off next to a ninja. Kill the ninja and go to the right. One of those
windows will have a bottle thrower in it so be careful. There will pretty much
just be the same series of these so be cautious at all times. There will pretty
much just be ninja, bottle thrower, bottle thrower, bottle thrower, ninja,
bottle thrower, etc.

After a while you will reach some crates, that's when you know that series of
enemies ends. There will be a clown at the end. Kill him and grab the balloon
to go to the right over that big gap. Don't worry if you missed the balloon, if
you did, go a little to the left and go back and the clown will respawn. Kill
him until you can get the balloon. When you do get the balloon, go to the right
and over the big gap.

There will be one small section with a sewer monkey. Try to get another balloon
from there because you won't be able to make it all of the way. Get a balloon
and go all the way to the right and get on the roof of the next building for an
extra life. There will also be a sumo wrestler on the ground. This one you
won't even have to kill. Just go to the right and you will finish this level
up.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 8:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Kill the person in the screen already and watch the bird. Avoid the bird and
kill the person. Now jump on the first box on to the next. Fall down and wait
for the person to throw a bomb. This part is very hard so get the bomb. When
you get the bomb, go to the right. There will be a sumo wrestler, get him with
the bomb and avoid the bird. You also can NOT just drag him into the gap. You
can actually do it but he will just keep respawning so it's just a waste of
time.

After you kill that sumo wrestler, continue to the right and jump the next gap.
You will reach a bodyguard you have to beat with a sewer monkey there at the
same time. Quickly kill the bodyguard because there will also be fish jumping
around. Once you kill him, go to the right for a heart. Avoid the bodyguard you
will see before the heart too because you don't have to fight him. The next
bodyguard, you will have to fight.

Jump the next gaps and avoid the sea gull that comes up. Go by that body guard
because you won't have to fight this one either. Go to the right and jump over
the gap but make sure to avoid the sea gull there at the same time. This next
sumo wrestler is easy. Just quickly go to the right and jump on the box to the
right of him. Avoid him and wait until he walks into the water. Continue to the
right after that. Jump over that last gap and finish off the level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level 9:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's...
"If I wanted to be tortured, I would have spent the evening with your family,
snotface. I'm really in pain and what's worse is I'm actually starting to
perspire."

Start off by going on the trampoline right in front of you. This whole
trampoline part of the level is extremely difficult. What you have to do is go
along the trampolines one at a time and try not to hit any trampoline on top.
After you pass the first upper trampoline, you will have to jump two
trampolines. After those trampolines you have to pretty much just go to the
right and land. Just don't hit the ground directly at the beginning of the
ground because there is a trampoline there. If you do hit the trampoline, just
try not to hit that sling shot.

You will then reach an Elvis Impersonator. Kill him to advance and avoid those
wrenches that are falling. There will be another one that you can fight at the
same time. Go down below the pipe after you kill both of them. This part is
also annoying but it won't kill you, it's just time consuming. You have to jump
in between that pipe and the sling shot. Time your jump so you won't get hurt
by the sewer monkey. Avoid the frog just ahead of you and jump over the gap.
Get past all of these sling shots and don't hit the trampoline because it will
just make you fall down the hole.

You will have to fight an Elvis Impersonator after that huge mess. Kill him and
advance. Now you can just keep going right until you reach the end. You don't
have to kill anybody else but you will find a sum wrestler along the way. When
there is a pipe you can go on there will be sling shots over it. If you can
make it over those sling shots, you can get some extra lives and health. Just
keep going right until you finish this level up.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level10:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Start off by killing those ninjas. Try not to kill the clown but you can if you
want to. Kill the ninjas and use the balloons to get over the crates. Get a
balloon when you can and try to get on the ground to the right of the crates.
Start to float and if you start right next to the ledge, you can make it all
the way over the gaps.

Kill the ninjas here and jump over the gap to the right. You could double jump
over it and for those of you who don't know, that's when you jump and jump
again while you are still in the air. Just keep going right here. You could
triple jump over the next jump and make a quick little hop to clear the last
gap here too. Kill the two ninjas there and go a little further to the right to
finish up this short level.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level11:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's
"Listen up, dog breath! splintered wood and rusty chains are not my bag of tea.
If you're still planning on that date at the malt shop, you'd better get me out
of this mess now, nerd."

Go to the right and fall off of the crates and grab the extra life down there.
Jump over the gap just to the right of there to get further. Jump over the
crates with the trampoline and drag the bodyguard into the water. Jump off of
the crates and triple jump to make it over this jump. Go to the right until you
have to climb up those crates. Jump on to the first one and get on the
trampoline.

Keep going right until you can't go any further and go quick. One will fall
through an invisable hole and you will still have to fight the other two. Just
kill them quick and go a little more to the right. This part is tricky but it's
easy to pull off if you have more than one extra life. Just get on the highest
thing before the gap and jump to the right. You won't make it so keep double
jumping and you will get to the end but it won't finish the level. When you
can't get any further, just die. It will bring you after the big gap and now
you can just jump the last gaps to finish the level off.

----------------------------------/////\\\\\-----------------------------------
---------------------------------<<Level12:>>----------------------------------
----------------------------------\\\\\/////-----------------------------------

Meanwhile at Demon Dan's...
"It's unreal! You've nearly gotten me out of this mess. All you have to do now
is defeat Demon Dan. Good Luck! And hurry, I'm getting thirsty!"

To start, just go to the right and jump on the small ledge. Keep jumping from
ledge to ledge until you reach the next area. Go towards the end and take a
little break. Just don't let the rocks hit you when they fall down. Use the
same strategy you used last time to jump over the lava. Now just go as fast as
you can here so you won't get hit by the rocks.

At the end you will reach Demon Dan. You have to make him get hit by the rocks
to make him die. All you have to do to make the rocks fall is jump and land on
the ground. Wherever you land, the rock will fall there. Keep trying to land
near him so he will get hit. After he gets hit by the rocks a few times, he
will drop a heart, grab that. Just keep making him get hit by rocks until he
dies. Once you make him hit the rocks enough an arrow will point to the right.
Obviously, follow the arrow.

Congratulations! You just saved your date!

3.0 - Enemies                                                        [MB.03.01]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bottle Thrower - These will be in the window and you can't kill them. They will
                throw bottles out of the window trying to hit you and they
                will also bounce a little bit too. Just try to either go by
                these quickly or wait for the bottle and jump over them. Both
                strategies work.

Ninja          - These will be pretty much anywhere that you can stand on. They
                will just keep running torwards you and they will also kick
                you.

Sewer Monkey   - These will be in the sewers hiding and when you are near, they
                will come out to throw a banana at you. Just be quick past
                these and whenever you see a sewer in the ground, just jump
                over it quickly.

Clown          - These guys will fly with a baloon and throw things at you.
                They're pretty much just like those bottle throwers except
                they move.

Frog           - These will just jump side to side by kill them as quickly as
                possible. They like to turn off the light if you give them
                enough time so don't give them the time.

Elvis          - Pretty much just like the ninjas except you won't have to kill
                them to get further in the level.

Wrench Thrower - Exactly the same as the bottle thrower except they will throw
                wrenches out of a small hole in the wall. They are really hard
                to find though because they will make a hole in the wall and
                they can appear at any time.

Sumo Wrestler  - These are pretty hard to kill. They will just move around and
                you will have to kill them before you can advance just like
                the ninjas. To kill them, you have to use a bomb.

Bat            - These will grab items thrown by sewer monkeys/bottle throwers
                and they will throw them directly at you even faster. Just try
                to avoid these as much as possible because it's too hard to
                even try to kill them.

Fish           - They will jump out at you and bite on to you. Shake them off
                as quick as possible by pressing right, left, and jump a lot
                and really quick.

Seagull        - These will pick you up and fly you so you will fall into the
                water and die.

Bodyguard      - These will be just like those ninjas near the beginning of the
                game except they look different.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.0 - Power-Ups                                                      [MB.04.01]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Hydrent   - These little guys are helpful. They will move side to side and
                stop every once in a while to shoot water up. If you jump onto
                the water, it will launch you in the air.

Heart          - These will give you some health helping you survive better.

Extra Life     - Exactly what you think it is, an extra life.

Trampoline     - These will help let you jump higher distances just like the
                fire hydrant except they won't move.

Sling Shot     - No, this is not a weapon, but it does sling shot you across
                the screen so use them when you need to gain a lot of speed
                real quick.

Balloon        - These let you fly if you hold the up button on the D-Pad.
