OVERVIEW
Congratulations! You now own the classic arcade game, Frogger®.
The goal of the game is simple: safely maneuver 5 frogs across five lanes of busy traffic, a fast-moving river, three lanes of treacherous logs, and two lanes of swimming turtles, while avoiding snakes, alligators, and crocodiles. You'll need lots of skill and a bit of luck as you hop to victory, while trying not to become a highway statistic.

GETTING STARTED
•
Make sure that your Nintendo® Game Boy® System is turned off, then plug the Frogger® Game Pak into the Nintendo® Game Boy® or Game Boy® COLOR System.
•
Turn on your Game Boy® or Game Boy® COLOR System. In a few moments the Logo Screen should appear.
Note: If the screen remains black on your GameBoy®, adjust the contrast dial for the screen display.
PLAYER SELECTION
Once the Frogger® Title Screen has disappeared, you may press START to display the Player Selection Screen.
•
Press the Control Pad Up or Down, or press SELECT to choose either a one or two player game.
•
When the frog icon is to the left of the desired player mode, press START to begin!
PLAYING A TWO PLAYER GAME
When playing a two-player game, each player's turn will continue until they have lost their current frog.
After the current frog is lost, the Get Ready Screen will appear indicating that the next player can begin by pressing START. Play will alternate until both players have lost all of their frogs.
HOW TO PLAY
Each player starts with 5 frogs. To maneuver the frog from its starting position to the safety of an open bay, use the Control Pad as follows:
•
Pressing Up hops the frog up the screen one lane.
•
Pressing Down hops the frog down one lane.
•
Pressing Left hops the frog to the left.
•
Pressing Right hops the frog to the right.
Avoid collisions with all automobile traffic by hopping quickly between the moving cars and trucks. Once across the road, hop onto the logs, turtles, and crocodiles to safely maneuver into an open bay at the top of the screen.
Once you have successfully placed the current frog safely into an open bay, the remaining time on the Timer Bar will be added to your score. Then you will begin again with a new frog at the bottom of the screen and a full Timer Bar.
If at any time during play the current frog is hit by traffic, or falls into the water, the player will lose that frog and will need to begin at the bottom of the screen again with a new frog. If there are no more frogs remaining, the game is over.
Press START at any time during play to pause the game. Pressing START once again takes the game out of pause and resumes play.

During play, you may collect points in the following manner:
•

HIGH SCORES

Name Entry Mode
•
Press the Control Pad Up to move forward through the alphabet.
•
Press the Control Pad Down to move backward through the alphabet.
•
Pressing the A Button enters the currently displayed blinking letter and moves the cursor one space to the right.
•
Press START at any time, to exit the Name Entry Mode.
•
Pressing the B Button erases the currently displayed blinking letter and moves the cursor one space to the left.
Note: Once the Game Boy® or Game Boy® COLOR unit is turned off, all of the player's high scores will be erased.
HOPPING HINTS
•
Be sure to hop off the logs and turtles before reaching the left or right edges of the screen, if you don't... frog legs anyone?
•
Be careful of diving turtles, once they start to dive you better hop off, or else!
•
Avoid the moving snake on the center wall at all costs, or else your hisssssstory!
•
It's safe to jump on the backs of the crocs and snakes, but not their heads!
•
Collect flies that appear in the river bays for extra points, but watch out for the gator heads that appear, for you can only hop safely into a gator, when its head is not completely visible.
•
Link up with the hopping log frog and deliver it to an open bay for extra points.
