Turn ON the POWER switch. The logo screens will appear. If you don't see them, begin again at step 1.
When the title screen appears, press START to proceed to the Main Menu.

Single Player & Difficulty
Head straight for the action by choosing SINGLE PLAYER from the Main Menu. Then select either TUTORIAL, EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD and press the A Button.
The tutorial will guide you through the button commands for Jimmy and Goddard so you can be comfortable with the controls before jumping into the game. After completing the tutorial, play it again to learn how to control the other character.
Complete the tutorial with both characters then return to the previous menu by pressing the B Button. Choose a difficulty level (EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD) to begin the game!
The Map Screen

As you approach a flag, an icon of a missing spaceship piece will appear. Press the A Button to enter the new level and begin searching for the missing pieces.
After completing a level, the flag will look different. Instead of hanging on the flag pole, it will be waving in the wind.
If a red "X" flashes instead of a spaceship icon, you will not be able to enter that level until later. Try to find a different level to play instead. When all the other levels have been completed, return to the forbidden level to gain access.
Note: In Retroville, you will not be able to enter Jimmy's Lab until after you've completed all the other levels.
Mission Objectives
The goals for each level will appear before you begin playing. Also, there will be information about the evil Yokians in the area. Read all of the mission objectives before starting.
Press the A Button to enter the level.
Use Goddard to locate the metal panels hidden in the sewer. Be careful not to fall into the water and be wary of the wandering rats. Remember to use Goddard's jetpack and lasso to access all areas of the level.
