How to Play
Energy Meter
The energy meter shows a character's current energy level. Performing special attacks with the Y Button drains energy from this meter.
If you don't have enough energy for certain special attacks, you cannot perform them. Soda and candies add energy back to the energy meter.
Player Star
Below the character portraits is a small star. In single-player mode, this star indicates which character is player 1 (human controlled) and which character is player 2 (computer controlled).
Counter Display
When you pick up certain items, or when items are required for objectives, the counter display appears along the left side of the screen to let you know what to do next.

Game Modes
Adventure
Explore the 'burbs by yourself or with a friend. It's a treacherous journey littered with traps and hazards.
Armed with golf clubs, hockey sticks, ping-pong ball launchers and your desire for partially hydrogenated anything, you'll take on new obstacles to complete your missions.
While on your missions, look out for interactive objects you can pick up and use; you will recognize them by the blue glow around the object. When you're close enough to an item, the X Button will appear over it, telling you that the object is ready for use.
Single Player
This mode allows you to navigate and enjoy the game at your own pace. With the added help of a computer-controlled buddy, you'll be able to explore and conquer things on both sides of the hedge.
Multiplayer
Get a friend to participate for exciting two-player action! The game automatically detects installed Controllers so an additional player can join a game in progress by inserting a Controller and pressing the A Button, or exit the game through the Pause Menu.
Together you can gang up on enemies and show them who rules the hedge!

Note: Two-player driving games need to be launched from the woods.
Characters
Verne the Turtle
Caring, selfless and hard-working, Verne is also neurotic and insecure. As the leader of our animal community, Verne wants to protect his "family" at all costs. To him, this means maintaining the status quo.
But as RJ's cool charisma slowly wins over the other animals, Verne begins to question himself and what's truly best for his family.
RJ the Raccoon
A charming small-time scavenger, RJ takes life and everything else as it comes. But when he takes a little too much, his carefree life is threatened.
To get out of this mess, he has to make the haul of a lifetime, conning a truly lovable bunch of animals in the process. Can he really break their hearts to save his own hide?
Enemies & Characters
Hammy the Squirrel
Hammy is a hyperactive, charming, and sweetly naive squirrel who practically vibrates with enthusiastic energy.
Stella the Skunk
Stella is a cynical skunk who feels nature dealt her a lousy hand, but she will truly strut her stuff to save her animal friends and home.
Vincent
Vincent the bear can be pretty grumpy when someone wakes him up from hibernation, and he won't forget if you mess with his food.
Gladys
Gladys is the president of the Rancho Camelot Estates Homeowners Association who rules with an iron fist and enlists Dwayne the Exterminator to rid her home of animals.

The Hedge
The ominous hedge: this is what separates the forest from Rancho Camelot Estates.
Rancho Camelot Estates
Rancho Camelot is the human community that has taken over your forest home. It's also where all the yummy snacks are stored. Tread lightly because if Gladys sees you, she'll call Dwayne the Exterminator!
Tips & Maps
Western Theme Park
Avoid the park owner, guard dog, and traps, fighting through a shooting gallery, mini-golf, and a final battle for the ultimate food prize.

This is where Dwayne the Exterminator devises his evil plans and creates the latest hi-tech artillery for his war on vermin. Your survival skills will truly be put to the test in this ultimate battle!
Vincent's Cave
Vincent the bear lives here. If Vincent sees you, watch out! You'll have to be quick on your paws to avoid his craving for forest critters.
Revive
As characters are knocked out, you can "nudge" them awake with your melee weapon, or they will rejoin you shortly if you keep going.
Attack Timing and Combos
Different melee attack moves can be executed by varying the timing of the inputs. Holding the B Button down (melee attack) and releasing can result in a stronger attack.
Golfing/Ranged Attack
Quickly pressing the X Button will result in a quick golf shot or ranged attack, while holding it down allows you to aim for better accuracy.
Carry and Toss
Characters can pick up and throw many objects; the B Button throws an item, and the X Button drops it at the character's feet. Carrying items can also help block enemy-ranged attacks.
Timed Sequences
Platform jumping and hazard avoidance sections require good timing to complete; judging the timing of these areas should help you navigate them successfully.
Hats
Throughout the game, you'll find various hats that give characters added health bonuses in addition to being fun.
Multiplayer (how to enter, how to leave)
A second player can join a single-player game by pressing the A Button on the second controller, and can leave by pressing START and selecting Exit Two Player from the menu.
