Getting Started
Insert the Game Pak in the Game Boy Advance and turn the system on. Select the language you want with the Control Pad and press the A Button.
Rescue Mission Six: Music Maestro Please!
Stereo systems, paintbrushes and typewriters were never as unfriendly as this! Work your way through this factory of the arts and don't waste time.
Rescue Mission Seven: Castle Castellations!
Run across blocks and escape angry flowers to get over the obstacles outside the castle. Leap on castle windowsills to reach the top of the castle and save the toys!
Flowers only attack when you get too close, so try to stay as far away from them as you can!
Rescue Mission Eight: Crazy Cars and Cranking Cogs!
Model trains, hungry cars, and crazed wind-up dolls chase you through the ins and outs of the mechanical toy factory! Remember, Dr. Maybe has a screw loose so stay on the tips of your fins!
Use the dolls and small trains to bounce up to the goodies out of reach.
Rescue Mission Nine: Sticky Sweets and Killer Cakes!
All the world's holiday cakes, sweets and biscuits are made here in Santa's confectionery factory. Battle half-baked cherry Pie Soldiers to make the sour sweets edible again.
You may find the umbrellas useful, but do be careful Pond! You're almost ready to confront Dr. Maybe!
Good luck RoboCod.
Menu Screen
When you start up the game you will need to select your country's flag so that the correct language is used. After the animation that follows, you will be presented with the main menu screen. From here you can start a new game, continue an old game, or change the game options.
New Game
Selecting 'New game' with the 'A' Button starts Pond off on his first mission outside Mr. S. Claus' toy factory.
Continue Game
If you select 'Continue game' with the 'A' Button you will be asked to enter your level code. A level code/password is given to you when you complete a theme or defeat a super toy. Remember to write this down somewhere so you can continue your game next time you turn your Game Boy Advance on!

Options
If you select 'Options' with the 'A' Button you will be able to choose from a few options.
The 'Control Style' option controls which button in the game makes you jump (the other will automatically become the stretch button). Press the Control Pad Left or Right to change the option. This manual assumes that the default 'A' Button is used for jumping.
The 'Music volume' option controls how loud the music is in the game. Press the Control Pad Left or Right to change the option.
The 'Credits' screen is selected by pressing the 'A' Button and this will list the names everyone who worked on this game. Press the 'B' Button to exit this screen.
Controls
RoboCod, we think that your Expandosuit will take some getting use to, so we've compiled this short list of instructions to help you adjust quickly.
Moving around
To move around, use your Control Pad to move Left and Right, and push the 'A' Button or press Up on the Control Pad to jump and bounce around.
Stretch Yourself
Press the 'B' Button to stretch up. If you extend to a ledge, release the 'B' Button to grab it and your body automatically snaps up! Then press the Control Pad Right or Left to move sideways. To drop down, push the Control Pad Down.
If one of Maybe's Meanies bites your tail while you're stretching, you'll snap back down, so time your stretching carefully. For long distance stretching, try wiping out the Meanies around you before you begin stretching.
Barber Pole Exits
Each factory is guarded by Dr. Maybe's El-Cheapo security system. Why is it so cheap? Because it doesn't work in the frozen wasteland of the Arctic.
The system has short circuited, allowing you to pass freely from one factory to the next, but only in order from the ground up. To exit most rooms, walk to the Barber Pole Exit when it's flashing.
Sometimes you'll have to collect all of the Elf Bombs in a room before the exit flashes, sometimes you won't (in a secret bonus room, for instance, the exits are always flashing).
In-Game Menu Screen
If you press Start the game will pause, and you'll be given two options: 'Continue' or 'Exit'. Selecting 'Continue' unpauses the game and you can continue playing.
The 'Quit' option will exit the game and return the player to the opening sequence which leads back to the main menu.
Bonus Block
Bump these blocks from underneath and collect the surprises inside for extra points. Watch out for the black bottles of poison!
Bonus Rooms
Every level has a bonus room. To get to it, you must collect all 3 golden bells on the level. If you collect all three you will be automatically transported to the bonus level after finishing the normal level.
You get more time in the bonus level by collecting clocks and watches in the normal level. When your time runs out, or when you touch an exit
