How to Begin
Insert your game pak into the Game Boy and turn on the power. Wait until the Konami screen appears, then press the Start button to get to the title screen. On the title screen you will see "PRESS START" flashing. Press the Start button and you are on your way!
The Films
There are four films that Monty will be showing:
•
A wild western starring Cowboy Max
•
A samurai picture with Kabuki Max
•
A sci-fi flick with CyberMax
•
A monster movie with Franken-Max
In each of these movies Buster will go through several horizontal and vertical scrolling stages and try to fight off Max's accomplices. In the climax of each feature film, Buster will meet the boss Max. You must guide Buster and defeat Monty in order to move on to the next flick.
Between Films
In between films you will see a short demo screen as Max loads the next reel. You may even choose to play one of the fun sub-games!
Your Role
You are Buster Bunny! Your mission is to change the ending of each of Monty's movies.
As Buster, you will start the game with a full life bar (shown as three hearts) and four lives. You will also have the option of using the Continue feature.
Life and Lives
Each time you get hit by an enemy character your life bar will go down by one heart. When it runs down completely, Buster loses one life and restarts at the beginning of the current stage.
If you fall off the screen at any time, you automatically lose that life. You can earn bonus lives and other power-up items throughout the game.
More Fun Between Flicks
There are three sub-games. You deserve a break between films, so why not play basketball, tug-of-war, or soccer?
Press up or down to highlight a game, then press the Start button. Bookworm will introduce each game and give you instructions.
