Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an adventure platformer game where players guide Pinocchio through his classic story, making moral choices and overcoming obstacles to earn badges from the Blue Fairy. By demonstrating truth, bravery, and unselfishness, players help Pinocchio achieve his wish of becoming a real boy.
Story
Pinocchio's Adventures
You are about to experience Pinocchio's story. As you help Pinocchio and Jiminy through the adventure, remember three important things:
•
Always choose the path of truth
•
Be brave enough to stand up to the bad guys no matter what
•
Be selfless by helping others, even when all seems lost
There are special chances throughout the adventures to help Pinocchio prove himself to the Blue Fairy. Earn the Badge of Truth, the Badge of Bravery, and the Badge of Unselfishness from the Blue Fairy and she will grant Pinocchio his wish - to be a real boy!
LEVEL ONE: AN ACTOR'S LIFE FOR ME
Geppetto has sent Pinocchio off to school, but he won't make it there with Honest John and Gideon around! Don't listen to their tales of Easy Street. Help Pinocchio choose the best path to school and don't be tempted into taking shortcuts!
Take the right road and the Blue Fairy rewards you with the Badge of Truth. Take the wrong road and...
Hint
Get the geese and naughty boys to fight each other and both will leave you alone!
LEVEL TWO: LAMPSIDE SEATING
Stromboli has forced Pinocchio to dance in his marionette show. In an effort to gain a good seat on a lampost, Jiminy must fight off the moths and bugs attracted to the light.

LEVEL THREE: "IT'S ALL FREE BOYS!"
Lampwick leads Pinocchio on a chase through Pleasure Island. Lampwick and his friends don't make it easy - they're throwing bricks and firecrackers at Pinocchio! Avoid thrown objects and help Pinocchio grab a ride on the balloons by jumping from string to string.
When Pinocchio flies up, up, and away to the next stage, he'll need your help to stay on track when he rides on a rickety old roller coaster. There are lots of broken spaces on the track, so when you come up to one, jump out of your car and into another on the other side of the break.
LEVEL FOUR: ESCAPE FROM PLEASURE ISLAND
Pinocchio learns that Lampwick's kind of fun is bad and tries to escape Pleasure Island. But once at the docks, he runs into the evil coachman. Be brave as you help Pinocchio knock the coachman into the water at the beginning and end of the level, and the Blue Fairy will reward you with the Badge of Bravery.
LEVEL SEVEN: ESCAPE FROM MONSTRO
Chased by the mighty Monstro, you must help Pinocchio and Geppetto row their raft to safety by ducking and jumping rocks. When your raft hits a big rock and breaks apart, remember to think of others' safety before your own - Geppetto's life may depend on it.
Do the right thing, and the Blue Fairy appears one last time to bestow the Badge of Unselfishness on Pinocchio. With your help, Pinocchio has proved himself worthy of becoming a real boy. The Blue Fairy waves her magic wand, and Geppetto's dream comes true!
