Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where the player controls Bouncer, a paddle, to rescue his friends and his love, Daisy, from the villainous Batnix. The player will break out of prison, then presumably navigate various levels, smashing obstacles with a ball, to achieve these goals.
Story
The Story So Far
Bouncer, a paddle, and Daisy, a ball, lived comfortably until Batnix appeared. Batnix vowed to have Daisy.
One day, while Bouncer was at sea, Batnix and his henchmen kidnapped Daisy. They then zapped Bouncer and imprisoned him. Batnix scattered Bouncer's friends in prisons worldwide to prevent a rescue.
In his cell, Bouncer is chained to a ball, a punishment for a failed escape. His only comfort is a picture of Daisy.
As the guards' noise fades, the steel ball leaps, smashes its chains, and frees Bouncer. Bouncer then whacks the ball, demolishing the cell walls and starting his dash for freedom.
Will Bouncer succeed in rescuing his friends, saving Daisy, and defeating Batnix? It's up to you!

Important Information
Do not insert or remove Peripherals or Memory Cards once the power is turned ON. You will need a Memory Card to save your games.
Console Setup
1. Set up your console according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual.
2. Make sure the power is OFF before inserting or removing a disc.
3. Insert the Breakout® PlayStation® disc and close the disc cover.
4. Insert the Game Controller (or Controllers; or Multi Tap and Controllers if playing Multiplayer).
5. If you want to load or save your progress during play, insert a Memory Card into Memory Card slot 1.
6. Turn ON the console and the introductory sequence will begin.
MEMORY CARDS
You will not be able to save your progress if you do not use a Memory Card. Make sure there is at least one free block on your Memory Card before beginning your game.
You cannot swap Memory Cards during play and you must leave the Memory Card in the slot for the complete duration of play. You must insert a Memory Card into Slot I on your PlayStation® or Memory Card Slot I-A of your Multi Tap (if you are using one).
If you already have a saved game stored on the Memory Card, you will be asked if you want to load your game in progress.
•
Use the UP or DOWN direction buttons to highlight your choice and press the button to select.
•
Selecting YES will restore the game to the same point as when you last saved on that Memory Card.
Warning!
Do not forget to save your progress before you quit any game.
MULTI TAP
If using a Multi Tap, it must be inserted in Controller port I. When using the Multi Tap, at least one Controller must be connected to Controller port I-A. Additional controllers should then be inserted in the sequence I-B, I-C and then I-D.
Shaped Paddle
If you are using the curved paddle, the place where the ball hits the paddle determines the angle at which the ball will be returned.
As you progress you will rescue more of Bouncer's friends. Each of these friends has special strengths that you can use to your advantage.

•

•
Press the * button to activate the current power-up.
Power-up Examples
Here are some of the power-ups you may come across while playing Breakout:
•
+1 Extra Life - Gives you an extra chance to keep on playing.
•
Big Paddle - You're less likely to miss a ball with a big paddle.
•
Grab Ball - Allows you to grab the ball and reposition it before shooting it at an object.
There are many others to collect, but you'll have to discover their powers for yourself.
COACH STEEL'S PRISON CELL TRAINING
At the beginning of the game, Bouncer is imprisoned in a dank prison cell. You've got to help him break out and rescue his friends and the beautiful Daisy. But in order to defeat Batnix, you'll need to learn a few skills.
Before you break out of prison, Coach Steel will teach you all the skills you'll need to defeat Batnix. Over a total of four challenges he will explain a new skill and then test you.
Once you have completed all four challenges he will help you break out of the prison and will also rank you on your escape. Your ranking will determine the difficulty level of the game. The higher your ranking, the more difficult the challenge you'll face.
You can change your ranking at this point if you want a more or less challenging game.
