Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this side-scrolling platformer, a football-obsessed boy named Marko must thwart the evil Colonel Brown's plot to conquer the town of North Sterlington using a mutating genetic sludge. Armed with a mysterious magic football, players guide Marko through the town to battle mutated animal monsters and stop the Colonel's plans.
Story
Marko's Obsession
Marko was mad . . . football mad! All day he played football and all night he dreamt about the game.
And that's the way things would have stayed, if it hadn't been for the deadly plan cooked up by the evil Colonel Brown in the bowels of his sinister toy factory.
The Colonel's Evil Plan
Not content with his lot, the cunning Colonel had devised a plan for the domination of North Sterlington. By using his latest evil invention - a deadly genetic sludge - the evil genius plans to turn the town's cute and cuddly animals into deadly sludge monsters.
In the dead of night, the Colonel's hapless helpers place toxic canisters of the sludge around North Sterlington - surely nothing or nobody can stop the Colonel's plans now!
Well, maybe there is one person . . .
A Chance Encounter
On his way to footie practice, Marko kicks his ball into a dark alley. Peering into the darkness he sees the most amazing thing - a meek rat turned into a hideous sludge creature by the Colonel's sludge. Cripes!
The mutant rat makes his move, but Marko is quicker, seeing the rotten rodent off with a quick smack of his magic football.
The Adventure Begins
Hang on a minute! A magic football? What's happened here?
Who cares? With his new ball by his side, our hero takes off into the depths of North Sterlington to see what's going on . . .

Enemies & Characters

The Rats
Vermin scurrying in below-ground areas and occasionally in the sunlight that are deadly to the touch.
Silent the Hedgehog

Busy Bees
Insects with a sting in their tails that damage Marko's football.
The Plane
Ferocious flying frights indigenous to the toy factory, remotely controlled by the factory workers.
Items & Weapons
Hearts
Picking up a heart fills an extra unit on Marko's energy bar, unless all five are already full.
Balloons
Burst a passing balloon to release a Cola Can, which provides healthy end-of-level bonuses and an instant 100 point bonus.
Stars
Collect one hundred stars for an extra life, with large stars being worth eight of the smaller variety.
Plasma Balls

Tips & Maps
Running and Kicking
Run and kick the ball at the same time to make things move faster.
Hidden Pick-ups
Try jumping around and using the ball to find bonuses that are not obvious to the naked eye.
Defeating Enemies
There is more than one way to defeat enemies like policemen on bikes or sludge monsters, so keep trying different approaches.
Special Moves
If you cannot reach an enemy by normal means, try using Marko's overhead kick or another special move.
Sludge Cans
You cannot leave certain levels without destroying all of the sludge cans.
Overhead Kicks
Overhead kicks are more powerful than normal kicks, so make as much use of them as possible.
Floating Ball Trampoline
Even when the ball is floating, it can be used as a trampoline to cross wide expanses of water or sludge.
Special Forward Header
Move left or right and press A and C while Marko is head juggling to execute a special forward header.
