•
Use the + Control Pad to scroll through the choices.
•
Press the A Button to make your selection.
Saved Game Screen
If you turn the Game Boy OFF in the middle of a Story Game or Board Game, your game will automatically be saved for you. The next time you turn the Game Boy ON, the Saved Game screen will appear.
Choose Continue to pick up your previous game right where you left off.
If you choose Delete, another screen will appear to make sure you want to delete your game. If you choose No, you will return to the Saved Game screen. If you choose Yes, you will return to the Game Select screen, and your previous game will be erased.
Board Selection
Next, choose which board you will play. Only the Village Board is available at first.
Once you have beaten Gaston on this first board, the second board will become available. Win on the second board, and you'll gain access to the third—and final—board.
Village Board
After a brief introduction, you will see a picture of the entire board. Belle's position is indicated by a dot with a B above it. Gaston's location is marked by a dot and a G.
You will begin your adventure at the Start Square at the bottom of the board. After each of Belle's turns, Gaston will get closer to the Finish Square.
Beat Gaston to the Finish Squares on the Village and Forest Boards to move on to the Castle Board. Reach the Finish Square on the Castle Board before Gaston to warn the Beast!
Player Select Screen
Up to 4 players may compete in the Board Game, playing as Belle, Beast, Mrs. Potts or Lumiere. Choose one of the following for each character:
•
The character will be controlled by a human player.
•
The computer will control the character.
If you choose the dash, that character will not play. Two or more characters must be selected to begin the game, and at least one character must be controlled by a human player.
For each human player, set the difficulty level to easy (one star), medium (two stars) or hard (three stars). Set each computer player's ability to weak (one star), average (two stars) or strong (three stars). Once you have set the difficulty levels, press the A Button to begin the game.
Starting the Board Game
In the Board Game, you may play on any of the boards you have unlocked in the Story Game. There are also four additional boards you may play in the Board Game, but only one—the Cottage Board—is available at first. To open the other three, you must complete the Practice Games.
Finishing all the mini-games on the easy level will open one board, while completing them all on the medium and hard levels will open the other two.
The player who goes first will be selected randomly, then turn order will continue clockwise around the table. A screen will appear before each player's turn, indicating who's turn it is.
At the beginning of each player's turn, you will see a picture of the entire board. Each character's position is marked by a dot and an initial:
•
Belle - B (the B will be blue when using the Game Boy Color system)
•
Beast - B (a brown B when using Game Boy Color)
Each player will begin from the Start Square at the bottom of the board. The first player to reach the Finish Square at the top of the board wins!
The Flow of the Game
Step 1: Roll Your Die
On your turn, press the A Button to roll your die. Any bonuses and/or penalties you may have will be added to the number rolled, and your character will move that many spaces around the board.
Step 2: Event or Mini-Game
The square you land on will determine the event that happens or which mini-game you will play. Press the A Button to begin the mini-game or event.
Step 3: Pass the Die
Board Game: After you finish your mini-game or event, the next player's turn begins. You will see the entire board again, this time with each character's new position. Press the A Button to roll the die for the next player, and their turn begins.
Story Game: After finishing your mini-game or event, Gaston will get closer to the Finish Square. Then you will see the entire board again, this time with each character's new position. Press the A Button to roll the die and begin your next turn.
Pausing the Game
During a mini-game, press START to pause. To return to the game, simply press START again.
Quitting the Game
If you reach the Finish Square before Gaston on the Village or Forest Board in the Story Game, you will advance to the next board. The game will end once you beat Gaston to the Finish Square on the Castle Board or if Gaston beats you to the Finish Square on any board.
The Board Game will end as soon as any character reaches the Finish Square. To quit a game before that happens, turn the Game Boy OFF; your game will automatically be saved for you. The next time you turn the Game Boy ON, you will have the option to return to your previous game or to delete it.
