Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fantasy adventure RPG where players guide Cornet, a girl with a puppet companion, through Marl's Kingdom. The game involves exploring various locations on a world map and likely engaging in a story driven by themes of courage and friendship, possibly with musical elements.
Story
The Adventure Begins
A long time ago, in a little village called Orange nestled in Marl's Kingdom, there lived a girl with her grandfather. Her name was Cornet and this is her story.
Cornet had a mysterious friend, a puppet with the heart and soul of a person. Her name was Kururu.
People in Orange thought Cornet a little odd because she went everywhere with Kururu. But everybody in Orange loved the bright smiles that Cornet and Kururu always carried with them.
Everyday, Cornet would take a walk in the woods with Kururu. But little does Cornet know that today will be different. This is where our story begins.

Cornet's Song
Sung by: Cornet
I remember this song I've known it for so long
And it feels so good to hear
Sounds a little sad but sweet just the same
Lovely melody
Whenever I hear this song.
I really don't know why
It makes me shed a little tear
But I'm sure my tears will soon disappear
Because I know you 're here
Whenever I am feeling sad
And everything around looks bad
All I have to do is think of you
I know my dreams are waiting to come true
Let's go on with hope in our hearts Love will surely show us how
Let's go on, our hearts filled with dreams
Let's go on and find them now
Etoile's Song
Sung by: Etoile
You're such a lucky girl.
That's what they always say
Rich and beautiful and bright
They don't get to see what's hidden deep inside
I feel all alone
They keep telling me.
My life is so grand
What will make them understand
No one knows how truly lonely I am
Why won't they understand
I may act as if I'm strong
But all I want is to belong
Love and understanding from Mom and Dad
Is all I need to keep from being sad
If only I could just let go
Help me let my feelings show
Frog Kingdom Song
Deep inside this jungle green
Mysterious kingdom that's never been seen
Land of the frogs, a most sacred place
Amphibian paradise, wide open space
So please come to our kingdom
The sacred land of the amphibian
True Courage
Sung by: Cornet & Kururu
Why am I always feeling down?
Why am I always so afraid?
Why? Why have I given up hope?
What is it you're afraid of?
I know. It's okay. You can say I'm afraid too in the same way
I give up hope. I just can't cope
Can't give my all much longer
You're not alone. So just hang on
You must try to be stronger
You can overcome life's ups and downs
You can turn your life around
That's the meaning of true courage
So please remember
Don't you ever give up trying
Be courageous. Keep on striving
Fly to the stars
You can have hope for tomorrow
So let's hold hands with one another
We can both take one step further
Dreams can come true
Find the hope that's deep inside
Find your strength that keeps your dreams alive
Mountainmen's Song
♪ Mountainmen's Song.♪
Mountainmen, big and strong and full of fury
Mountain God, lead us on our holy journey
YO HO HO, We are soldiers of the mountain
Mountainmen, big and strong and always shouting
Amazing Pirates
We are the fearless pirates
We are the most amazing pirates
We hunt for the sunken treasure in the ocean
When we get sunburn we put on lotion
This is the life of the pirates
The stars will guide our way
We are the fearless pirates
We are the most amazing pirates
