Word: A-N-I-M-A-L
Climb up the ladder to your right to move left to find the Letter A. Next
is a climb up the mast to hit the third ledge on the masts to collect the
Letter N. Run left and take a running leap to bridge the gap to the mast
across the way, where the Letter I waits to be plucked. Climb down one
level on the mast to move right for the Letter M. All that is left is to

vine to climb to the next ledge up to find the Letter S, and then you can
choose to either: a) use the vines to the left to get to the ledge above (be
careful as it requires crawling through a narrow passage, exposing the Hero
to attack without a chance of defending himself) or, b) Head right to hop

should use the flying carpet closest to the level of the vine on the left to
reach the Letter B. Next up is a jump straight up to climb the vine there

grab the Letter G. From there, use the magic carpets to reach the ledge on
the far right, as it holds the Letter L, followed by returning to the higher

7) This section will supply solutions to each level. Keep in mind that on
this setting the Letters are hidden, the Hero will have to grab the
small letter H on a white background in the level, to uncover the
location of the Letters (or just use my walkthrough!). Just note that
they flash on and off for a very short time, making it a bit tougher to
track their locations while you deal with the enemies, but just pause the

route ahead of time so to speak).

---------------------------Level 7 Letter Solutions-------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9) This section will supply solutions to each level. Keep in mind that on
this setting the Letters are hidden, so you can double check them by just
tapping into them ever so slightly OR running right through them if
enough room exists to do so. The first method is recommended instead of
just running through them quickly, as it leaves less room for error
(especially since not all Letter have enough room to be run through
completely).
o-----------------------o
| Level Seven, Page One |
o-----------------------o
Word: F-A-M-I-L-Y
Climb the ladder and turn right to find the Letter F, followed by climbing
the nearby mast to the third ledge, which is where the Hero should run right

gap you have crossed twice already, taking the mast down one ledge to move
right to claim the Letter I. Return to the deck to grab the Letter L that
has remained there patiently, which just leaves a quick climb up the mast on
the right to find the Letter Y.
o-----------------------o
| Level Seven, Page Two |
o-----------------------o
Word: F-A-T-H-E-R
Climb the vine on the left to the top, moving left to snag the Letter F.
Next up is a run left to drop down a ledge to get the Letter A, followed by
climbing the nearby vine to move left to climb another vine up past a Letter
to the next ledge upwards. Crawl through the narrow opening, jump up the
ledges on the left to reach the Letter T, then head back right till some
vines are within reach to use to pass over the Letter on the ground so the
Hero can reach another vine to take him down a ledge. Use the vine on the
left to pass over the drop to the ledge below, grabbing the nearby Letter H,
followed by returning to the ledge above through the same route to find the
Letter E (this is the Letter you have been avoiding for a bit). This just
leaves a crawl through the narrow passage to climb down a vine to the ledge
below where the Letter R waits.
o-------------------------o
| Level Seven, Page Three |
o-------------------------o
Word: S-I-S-T-E-R
Use the three magic carpets to reach the ledge on the right, where the first
Letter S waits, followed by jumping down to a passing magic carpet to reach

to the ledge above, which is where the second Letter S is available,
followed by dropping to the ground far below to run right to claim the
Letter T. Use the three magic carpets to reach the central ledge once more,
using the vines and ladders to reach the highest area where the Letter E
sits on top of the red ladder, followed by dropping down one ledge to claim
the Letter R.
o------------------------o

there as the Hero climbs the nearby ladder to find the Letter O. Use the
nearby bunting to pass over the gap below, followed by using the pole and
buntings to climb tot he ledge on the right where the Letter T sits. Now
return to the ledge above the three magic carpets to grab the Letter H,
followed by dropping down to the lower areas to get the sole remaining
Letter there, the Letter E. Use the three magic carpets to again reach the
central ledge, climbing the ladder up one ledge to use the bunting to move
right. Continue right to the pole, climbing it to snag the bunting, this
time moving left to claim the Letter R.
For completing the seventh Letter Level, you will gain access to the
seventh secret Letter! Here is your secret Letter, the Letter O!

10)This section will supply solutions to each level. Keep in mind that on
this setting the Letters are hidden, so you can double check them by just
tapping into them ever so slightly OR running right through them if
enough room exists to do so. The first method is recommended instead of

completely).
o-----------------------o
| Level Eight, Page One |
o-----------------------o
Word: F-L-O-W-E-R
Climb the nearby ladder to move left to climb the mast to the very top to
find the Letter F. Return to the deck to grab the Letter L in the middle
area (between the two masts), then climb the mast on the right to the very
top ledge to snatch the Letter O. Now run left to drop down a ledge to get
the Letter W, which should then be followed by continuing running left to
fall to the deck to grab the Letter E on the right side of the deck. This
leaves a climb up the right mast to the second ledge of sails, moving right
to find the Letter R.
o-----------------------o
| Level Eight, Page Two |
o-----------------------o
Word: C-H-E-R-R-Y
Climb the vine to the right to get the Letter C, followed by climbing the
vine to turn elft to climb a second vine. Head left, jumping on top of the
higher ledges to get the Letter H from the top-left corner, then backtrack
to the previous ledge to crawl through the narrow opening to take the vine
as far down as possible. Now drop down to the Letter E below, then jump up
to the vine on the right to go right to claim the first Letter R. Double
back to the left to use the vine to reach the tall vine, which the hero will
climb up one ledge to find the second Letter R. Now run to the right,
hopping the small bump in the path to reach the Letter Y.
o-------------------------o
| Level Eight, Page Three |
o-------------------------o
Word: T-U-L-I-P
Use the three magic carpets to reach the central ledge, ignoring the Letter
there as the Hero uses the vine to reach the next ledge upwards, where the
Letter T rests. Drop down to the ground below, running right to claim the
Letter U, followed by using the magic carpets to get to the central ledge
once more, this time claiming the Letter L while you are there. Now use the
vines and ladder combo to get to the highest ledge, running right across the
area to get the Letter I, followed by taking the nearby ladder down to the
ledge below where the Letter P is located.
o------------------------o
| Level Eight, Page Four |
o------------------------o

using the three magic carpets to reach the ledge above. Now, ignore the
Letter on the ledge as the hero climbs to the next ledge to grab the Letter
I, followed by continuing right over the gap via the bunting. Use the pole
to climb to the bunting above, moving right to find the Letter O. Now
return to the left to fall down to the ledge where the Letter L sits,
followed by continuing down to the lowest ledge to get the Letter E from the
bottom-right corner. Now use the three magic carpets to regain the higher
ledge, followed by using the ladder to go cross the gap on the bunting.
Then use the pole to climb to the bunting, heading left to get the Letter
T.
For completing the eighth and final Letter Level, you will gain access to
the eighth secret Letter! Here is your secret Letter, the Letter O!
So, you will have got the following Secret Letters: K-A-N-H-A-R-O-O. I
am unsure as to what this means, but it may be the name of the Hero. It
could be the name of the lady that appears at the end of Page Four in
all the level loops. Either way, the game will not return to Loop One,
so keep playing to see how high of a score you can rack up!

The pink enemy, they mostly just walk around the screen, trying to inch
into the Hero. However, if they have been on the screen for too long of a
time, they will grow massively large and make a beeline for the current
location of the Hero, ignoring all other obstacles. Kick them to send them
flying. Note that these enemies take a long time to spawn from the ground.

These mystical constructs will only hurt the Hero if they crush him on the
side of the screen. They can safely be rode, though the Hero will have no
control over them what so ever. Also note that the Hero can jump through
the side of the screen to land on the flying carpet, saving him time and
making the progression upwards easier.

| Genie |
o-------o
This enemy will appear when the Hero is taking too long within a level,
popping out of a random Letter Jar. He is deadly to the touch while
floating around the screen, but he also throws fast moving projectiles that
can be cause for some concern as well. If he shows up, try to end the level
right away, especially to avoid the incoming projectiles.

| Momma Crow |
o------------o
Found at the top of most levels, they will quite often do nothing. However,
they do have the ability to drop Crows directly into the level, so be aware
when passing underneath these untrustworthy females.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
12)This section will take a look at a few aspects of the gameplay, giving
the player a better understanding and some strategies to use.
i) When riding on magic carpets, note that they pass through the side of
the screen, they will not carry our Hero with them. However, if he
jumps through the side of the screen, he may be able to land on the
magic carpet he was riding as it appears, thus saving his progress
upwards.
ii) When the Hero is on a vine/ladder/pole/bunting, his ability to kick is
lessened. This means that he can throw repeated attacks out to protect
himself, so you will need to time your kicks accurately to keep him
safe.
iii) When the Hero kicks an enemy, that enemy becomes a bowling object of
destruction to other enemies, taking them off the screen as they go.
If you manage to take out two enemies with a kicked enemy, an Item will
fly into the Hero, making him flash, which means he is invulnerable
while that effect lasts. This is especially useful to stat looking for
if the diabolical Genie has appeared, as he is a killing machine (thus
the invulnerability would be most welcome for bypassing him).
iv) Despite the wild amount of points that can be gained by the Hero, NO
extra lives are ever handed to the Hero. If there is some method to
doing so, please e-mail me with any ideas you may have on this subject.

A game that offers more in-depth playing than appears at first glance.
Give it a whirl as this is one fun (but tough) challenge for any veteran
or rookie alike on the Nintendo Entertainment System. You will need to
look past the poor graphics, but then again, graphics are not the best
part of the gaming experience of the NES anyway!
