Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game set in 50 BC, players control the courageous Gaul Asterix on a quest to rescue his kidnapped friend, Obelix, from the Roman army. To find him, players must travel across Gaul, the Roman Empire, and as far as the Egyptian Pyramids. Along the journey, players must battle Roman soldiers and evade the dangerous traps set by Julius Caesar's spies.
Story
The Plot
The peace of the quiet village of indomitable Gauls has been disrupted by a disturbing piece of news: Obelix has been captured by a Roman patrol and at this very moment is being taken to an unknown destination.
The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.
These courageous, tough, stubborn, gregarious, rowdy and merry Gauls fear only one thing: that the heavens should fall on their heads...
The Quest
One day, the peace and quiet of this small village of indomitable Gauls is broken by a disturbing piece of news: Obelix has been kidnapped by a Roman patrol. The village council convenes and Asterix volunteers to set off and find his friend.
To find Obelix, you will have to travel throughout Gaul, across the Roman Empire, taking your quest as far afield as the Egyptian Pyramids...
And all the time, you will have to battle with the Roman armies and avoid the traps set by Caesar's spies.

How to Play
Getting Started
To set off on your pursuit, insert the game cartridge into the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game console and switch it on.
A succession of screens will appear with copyrights, title, language selection, story and finally the options menu. To switch from one screen to the next, simply press the START Button.
If you do not press any of the buttons, you will automatically enter the demonstration mode. To quit that mode, press the START Button.
The Options Menu
In the options menu you can choose between one-player and two-player mode.
You can also select the level of difficulty: easy, medium or difficult. This means that those Gauls amongst you who, in the meantime, have become experts can confront new enemies and much tougher Romans.
Use the control pad to move the cursor through the options menu. To enter the game, press the START Button.
Hearts and Life Points
The maximum number of hearts displayed on the screen is 5. Each heart corresponds to one life point.
You lose a life point every time you are hit by the enemy. However, you do have the possibility of collecting hearts, which are hidden inside certain blocks.
Score and Continues
Your score depends on both the number of Bonuses you have collected and the number of enemies you have knocked senseless.
Each time this score reaches 100,000 you get an extra "continue" option, which allows you to resume the game from the start of the world you were in the process of crossing.
Pause Function
If you wish to pause the game for a moment during play, press the START Button. Press the START Button a second time to resume play.
Game Over
A game ends as soon as Asterix has run out of life points. When the "Game Over" screen appears, you can select CONTINUE or END.
•
CONTINUE: You will return to the beginning of the world you happened to be travelling through. The number written next to "Credits" tells you the number of "Continues" you have left.
•
END: You are taken back to the beginning of the game.
The Waggon
In certain worlds you will have the possibility of travelling by waggon:
•
To climb aboard, you must jump into the waggon.
•
To drive the waggon, use the left and right arrows.
•
To accelerate, keep one or the other of these directions pressed.
•
If you change direction, the waggon will gradually slow down and then travel in the opposite direction.
