Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a superhero adventure game where players control LarryBoy, a clumsy but determined hero, to stop the villainous Bad Apple from taking over Bumblyburg during its 300th birthday celebration. Players will likely engage in platforming and puzzle-solving to thwart the Bad Apple's "dangerous trick."
Story
THE STORY
The city of Bumblyburg is celebrating its 300th birthday. A strange spider web has appeared in Bumblyburg Park.
No one knows where the web came from, or about the clever evildoer planning to stop the celebration and take over the city.
The Bad Apple
The Bad Apple is a scary villain who has discovered the weaknesses of important people in Bumblyburg. She plans to take over the city with a dangerous trick.
Bumblyburg beware! Temptation has arrived!
A Hero Appears
A caped silhouette stands atop Bumblyburg City Hall, searching for criminals. The silhouette leaps from the rooftop, its cape catching the wind.
Children smile, mothers hold back tears, and fathers walk with confidence. The figure approaches its landing as cheers fill the air.
LarryBoy's Arrival
The hero lands, but too fast! He tumbles, creating a whirlwind of dust, and skids to a stop. Silence falls.
People look at each other, shrugging and staring at the form on the ground covered by a purple cape.
Then, a plunger appears, followed by another. Bumblyburg's superhero, LarryBoy, stands up! The crowd applauds and shouts support.
LarryBoy responds with his famous quote, "I AM THAT HERO!"
In the distance, the Bad Apple continues with her evil plan.

Enemies & Characters
GRUNTS
Temptation grunts patrol the stages looking for Larry Boy and will chase him, letting out a mighty temptation stomp. They are not too strong and can be defeated with a whirlybird attack.
THROWERS
These temptations use big temptation cannons to launch temptation spheres at Larry Boy. To defeat them, use the Whirlybird ability to deflect the spheres back at them.
Seekers
Temptation seekers seem undefeatable, but they can be defeated by luring them to chase LarryBoy over a vent.
Tips & Maps
WHIRLYBIRD ABILITY
Larry Boy spins rapidly, and his plungers hit nearby objects and temptation guards, allowing him to break objects, reveal hidden items, deflect temptation spheres, and overcome weaker enemies.
POWER DRENCHER
LarryBoy can spray webs and special targets with a squirt gun filled with sports drink to help solve puzzles, aiming with the right analog stick while holding L1.
PLUNGER GRAPPLE
LarryBoy can shoot his super-suction plunger ears at specific targets to pull objects or himself to higher areas by holding L2, aiming with the right analog stick, and releasing L2 when the cursor is bright yellow.
JUMP
Use the X button to get onto higher ledges and platforms.
DOUBLE JUMP
Hit the X button again when in the air to get LarryBoy up almost double the height of his regular jump.
GLIDE
Hold the X button after jumping or while falling to deploy Larry Boy's SMART cape and glide, helping him reach distant platforms.
Egg Timer
The Egg Timer in Parental Controls allows parents to set limits on how long you can play in one sitting.
Sheet Music pickups
Sheet Music pickups are challenging to find; pull every lever, explore every area, break objects, and re-do puzzles to discover them.
Bumblyburg activities
There's a lot to do in Bumblyburg, including talking to people to initiate fun games like Hide-N-Seek.
Special symbols
Keep an eye peeled for special symbols representing Power Drencher and Plunger Grapple targets to help you progress.
Alfred's hints
Listen to Alfred, as he often provides Larry Boy with hints, sometimes hidden within riddles, which are key to defeating the Bad Apple.
Revisiting temptation worlds
You can always go back to a temptation world to find any musical notes or sheet music pickups that you might have missed.
Taking breaks
Remember to have fun and take breaks when needed, as a clear mind can help solve tough puzzles.
How to Play
Heavy Weight Ability
LarryBoy is not very heavy. There are buttons and switches in the temptation worlds that he cannot push down with his weight alone.
With Alfred's SMART cape invention, you can hold down the button and make LarryBoy turn into a heavy weight.
Energy Ability
There are objects that need to be powered up or given a quick charge. LarryBoy will have to deal with electricity somehow.
With the Energy Ability, simply hold the button and LarryBoy will use his SMART cape to turn into a powerful source of energy. This will provide him with the power he needs to stop the Bad Apple!

Game Screen (H.U.D.)

To display them, simply hold the SELECT button. They will also display when you are being tempted, refilling, or losing UMPH from your Power Drencher.
Every time you pick up a musical note, sheet music, or find a hidden child in Bumblyburg, the total will be displayed onscreen.
Minigames
Memory
A game of memory that can be played with one or two players. Pictures of your favorite VeggieTales characters are the cards here.
To flip a card over, simply grapple it with your super-suction plunger ears! The objective is to try to flip over two cards that are the same. The player who finds the most pairs wins!
Tic-Tac Toe
Another familiar childhood game but with that special LarryBoy pizzazz. Two players try their best to outsmart each other and get three shapes in a row.
One player will have X's as their shape, the other O's. No longer is it purely a game of wits though, for now you must glide LarryBoy over to the space on the board you wish to claim while avoiding the dangerous temptation beams along the way!
Darts
How does a cucumber play darts? He slingshots himself at the board, of course (Only for superhero cucumbers - do not try this at home)!
Try to get the best score or beat a friend's score. Just slingshot LarryBoy at one of the four crazy moving dart boards, and try to score the most points!
Single Player
Bumblyburg Minigames
Hide and Seek
With all of Bumblyburg as your playground, a game of Hide and Seek is no small matter! Speak to the helpful Carrot in front of the Mayor's Office and he'll start this game for you.
Use LarryBoy's abilities to seek the children of Bumblyburg as they lie low in their best hiding spots. They can be found in alleyways, concealed by boxes, behind buildings, and even on top of buildings!
Each kid you find unlocks bonus material for you to add to your collection, so be sure to find all 10 of them.
Glide Challenges
Test your gliding, zipping, and slingshot skills in these terrific challenges. When you activate one of the glide challenges, you must fly to each glowing waypoint without touching the ground.
If you get to the waypoints within 3 minutes, you win a sheet music! There are 3 glide challenges total, so be sure to do them all as you gain more abilities!
