Playing the Game
Uncle Scrooge starts every game with 3 lives. He has only a short time to find the Five Lost Treasures. All kinds of villains, ruffians, and troublemakers are waiting.
Jump on your foes to do them in. Break open rocks and treasure chests to see what they hide. If a jewel appears, run over quickly to grab it.
Sometimes an obstacle will slide away or fly up in the air when you swing at it. Figure out how to use this to knock out enemies or get unreachable items.
When you've collected all the treasures in a land, your biggest and worst enemy appears. Fight hard, and try to stay alive. If you can get rid of him, you've cleared that land and you don't have to come back!
If Scrooge loses all his lives, or runs out of time, the game is over. But if he finds the Five Lost Treasures before any of that happens, he wins, and becomes even richer than before!

The Bank
The game starts from the Duckburg Bank, where you saw the Land Chart and chose an area to search. When you run into Launchpad, answer "Yes" to his question and he'll take you back to the Bank.
Once there, deposit your treasures in the safe. The amount you've gained so far will show up on the Score Panel. Then, choose another land to search.
Launchpad can be used once in each land. Also, you cannot return to a land that you've already cleared of the final treasure.
