STARTING THE GAME
On the main menu, you can start the game, access the hall of fame (records), or access the options.
Arcade Mode
In this mode, there is no time limit; the objective is to shoot a specific number of chickens in each level. When this number of chickens has been shot, the player goes up to the next level.
Chicken Bill is attacked by egg-throwing chickens in this mode. The main character's maximum energy is 100 points, which sinks with every egg that hits the screen. The energy symbol is an energy bar placed on the left-top corner of the screen. The game ends when all energy is lost.
Classic Mode
Classic mode means shooting against the clock. You must achieve a certain amount of points to get into the next level, in addition to observing the time limit.
An alarm clock in the top left-hand corner of the screen tells you how much time you have left. The last ten seconds are signaled by the alarm. Throughout the game, some chickens carry a time bonus symbol in their claws, which lengthens your playing time. Shooting these chickens provides three types of time packages.
MULTIPLAYER
The objective in a multiplayer game is to score as many points as possible within a certain time. The goal is to shoot the chickens from under the other players' noses.
When the time runs out, the winner's name appears on the screen. The winner is the player with the most points.
HIGHSCORES
Highscores can be displayed directly from the main menu. First, the player needs to choose the proper highscore list: Arcade, Classic, or Multiplayer.
When a good score is reached, you will rank in the HIGHSCORES. The game keeps the 5 best scores in the HIGHSCORES for each category, but only during gameplay. After the player switches off the Game Boy® Advance system, the highscore list will be lost.
