Bad Custard's Discovery
Bad Custard sat down with a dusty, moldy book. Bookworms peered up at him, but he squished them.
He stroked the leather binding and caressed the gold letters. The book was titled 'Book Of Magic'.
A handwritten script at the bottom read: 'To my dearest Queenie, happy 407th birthday. You don't look a day over 350. Love from the King.'
Bad Custard opened the book, coughing as dust clouded around him. As he pried the crisp pages apart, he felt a dark power surge through him, anticipating fun.
Chapter 1: Kingsley's Origins
Once upon a time, there was a fox-cub called Kingsley. He lived in Carrot Castle, home of the King and Queen of Fruit Kingdom.
Though raised as their son, his fox features made it clear he wasn't truly theirs. Kingsley knew his real dad was a brave True Knight who had long since departed.
He was proud of his father, as True Knights were the most noble soldiers of the realm, but his father remained a distant memory.
Chapter 2: Training with Old Wrinkle
Old Wrinkle, an aged badger with a passion for deep wisdom, tutored young Kingsley in the ways of a warrior. Kingsley often wondered how Wrinkle knew so much about fighting.
Whenever Kingsley asked, the badger would reply, "Your father was inquisitive too Kingsley. And look what happened to him. Not that you had the chance to know him."
Kingsley learned Old Wrinkle's tricks, and soon could perform neat attack combos, including the ninja backflip.
Chapter 3: The Fruit Kingdom and Bad Custard
Carrot Castle's kitchens were famous for their delicious meals, from Squished Mango With Loganberry Dripping to Pineapple Lard Topped With Crusty Cranberry Croutons. Whatever they ate, they ate it with carrots.
After self-taught chef Bad Custard joined, there was a spate of food poisonings, leaving the King indisposed for days. Bad Custard was hounded from the castle.
In a rage, he stole the Queen's magic book and began learning nasty spells. The magic was strong, and Bad Custard grew more powerful.
He enslaved many soldiers, and his evil influence grew as he moved closer to his goal: to take Carrot Castle for himself.
Chapter 4: The Quest for True Knight Items
Kingsley asks how he can become a True Knight like his father to defeat Bad Custard. Old Wrinkle tells him he must search for the True Knight items scattered about the Fruit Kingdom.
This chapter hasn't been written yet. You'll have to take control of Kingsley and finish the story for yourself.
Chapter 5: Starting the Game

Jumping
Press the D button to make Kingsley jump. Press the D button while Kingsley's running to make him jump further.

Conversations
It's important to talk to all the characters Kingsley meets, as you never know what important information they may be able to give.
•
Walk up to a character and press the D button to begin a conversation.
•
If the chatter fills more than one screen, press the D button or the D button to scroll through the text.
•
Press the D button or the D button to alternate between characters speaking.

Reaching Inaccessible Places
Switches
Look out for switches that could open up closed passageways or doors. To operate a switch, move Kingsley so he's standing in front of it, then press the button.
Locks
To operate a lock, Kingsley will need a key. These are hidden about the place and have to be searched out before the lock can be opened.
Once you've found the appropriate key, move Kingsley so he's standing in front of the lock and then press the button.
Health and Energy
Kingsley's life energy will go down each time he's hit by a weapon or some other dangerous obstacle. He can also lose energy by falling from a great height or falling into lava pits or deep water.
Five Hearts
The five hearts in the top left of the screen show Kingsley's life energy. Keep an eye on the hearts, as when they all disappear, Kingsley will lose a life.
Shield and Weapons
Shield
As soon as Kingsley begins his adventure, Aunt Adeline will give him a shield which can be used to block attacks. Press and hold the button to raise the shield.
Useful Objects
Apprentice True Knights have a reputation for inquisitiveness and Kingsley is no exception. Kingsley particularly likes delving into treasure chests.
Treasure chests are littered around the Fruit Kingdom and they contain goodies for Kingsley to collect. Position Kingsley in front of a treasure chest and press the button to open it.
Treasure Chest Contents
•
Gold coins worth 10 points
•
Silver coins worth 5 points

•
Extra lives
•
Things that harm Kingsley
Some of the treasure chests will be locked shut, but the key cannot be far away.

Items & Weapons
DAGGER
It's the smallest weapon, but Carrot Castle's resident grinder has spent hours fashioning a razor sharp dagger blade for Kingsley's use. It can be used for standard, combo, and aerial attacks.
AXE
Previously used for felling giant cucumber trees, the axe delivers a crunching blow. It can be used for standard, 2-hit combo, and leaping swing attacks.
SWORD
Much bigger and heavier than the dagger, the sword is a match for any pirate's cutlass. It can be used for standard, combo, and stunning aerial attacks.
CROSSBOW
Perfect for sniper attacks, the crossbow can be fired directly or aimed for improved accuracy. Kingsley can sidestep while aiming, and the screen displays the number of available arrows.
