The Story of Hook
Grown up and going through life as an attorney with two children, you, Peter Banning, never even considered the possibility of returning to Neverland. In fact, you can't even remember having been there in the first place!
But when the evil Captain Hook returns to grab your children, Granny Wendy is forced to remind you of those carefree days when you ran with the Lost Boys in the wild on Neverland. You see, Peter Banning is Peter Pan!
Luckily, armed with a sword, the urging of Granny Wendy, and the friendly advice of your friend Tink, you are well equipped for the adventure that lies ahead.
As Pan, you will encounter many obstacles and battle many foes in your search for the children. You will deal with Pirates and Pirate skeletons. In the forests of Neverland you will confront arrow shooting Pirates, Spiny Porcupines, and towering treetops.
In some places you will fly from one destination to another, but you need Pixie Dust to stay aloft! Along the way you will be developing your skills as Peter Pan to defeat the evil Hook and win the children's freedom.
But Neverland is a large island and Hook is a shrewd and elusive character. There are many hazards to avoid along the way and you will need to get past each of them to find Hook and your kids. So good luck, and hurry; the children are waiting!
Begin the Adventure
To enter Neverland, insert the Game Pak in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. When the Title screen appears, push Start. And so will begin your journey to the world of pirates, Lost Boys, magic, and adventure. You will have to fight your way through at least 12 levels around the island before you can find and challenge Captain Hook. Each level must be taken in turn, you cannot choose which one you will next try.
Everywhere, Hook's pirates are watching for you, ready to attack with arrows and bombs and other tricks. If you're ready, aim for the second star to the right and head straight on till morning...

Neverland Ice and Snow Region
•
Neverland Rocky Mountains
•
Neverland Waterfall and Lagoon
Neverland Forest
The Forest is heavily patrolled by Hook's Pirates. They have strict orders to stay at their posts, but each one would love a chance at beating the Pan. So watch out for them, they will come after you, and fast.
Also keep an eye peeled for cherries and an extra leaf — you'll be needing all the energy you can collect. This will be your first chance to prove to the Pirates and yourself that you, Peter Pan, have indeed returned. Move carefully and practice.
Neverland Rocky Mountains
Pirates are not known for their good hospitality. So when you see them rolling out a barrel, take off! It's not full of cheer.
If you've lost your Golden Sword, look for it here in the mazes of these ancient mountains.
Neverland Waterfall and Lagoon
Near this Lagoon is the lair of a band of magic tigers. Their breath will turn you into stone, but fortunately it's temporary.
This very difficult region is filled with wonderful things, too, like extra Leaves and One-Ups. But you will have to search carefully for them. Don't lose heart, just keep your happy thought in mind and remember everything you've learned.
Neverland Underground
Once you are plunged into the dank, dark caves you will have to find a way back to sunlight and fresh air. Always keep an eye over your shoulder — you never know what might creep up out of the inky black depths.
These caverns are home to many dangerous creatures, such as the Giant Earthworm, the Night Snake, and others that have never even been named.
Neverland Ice and Snow Region
Beware the Tigers of the snow fields. Like their cousins at the Lagoon, their breath will freeze you. But again, it is only temporary. Keep an eye out for Pirates tracking you. Some are armed with snowballs and feeling mean.
The mighty Winter Hawk lives in this region. Watch the skies for its lightning strikes. Move carefully when you are jumping across caverns or running. Glaciers are quite slippery.
Neverland Skeleton Rock
The Skeleton Rock has been haunted for as long as any Lost Boy can remember. You will be followed through the caves by a Will-o-Wisp, one of the fire spirits. They are harmless, unless you touch them - then you lose a life. If you leave the spirit, you won't be able to see.
Beware the bones of long decomposed Pirates
