Build a High Tower
Build a high tower from falling puzzle pieces. However, if you leave too many gaps in your tower wall, rising water will destroy your progress!
Puzzle pieces of all shapes and sizes fall from the sky. Jump up and catch the shape you need. After you catch the piece you want, press the A Button to rotate it and the B Button to place it in your tower.
Stack the puzzle pieces without leaving gaps! To win, you'll need to reach the top before your opponent does!
Starting the Game
Insert the Game Pak into your Game Boy® Advance and turn on the power. Press START at the title screen to access the game's Main Menu options.
Game Over
The game ends when your opponent defeats you and you are out of continues. You can also end the game by selecting the "End Game" option while the game is paused.
Egg Mania Basic Rules
Catch the falling puzzle pieces and stack them to build a tower! You start the game on the ground level. As the game begins, puzzle pieces tumble from the sky.
Position your character beneath the pieces and try to catch them. Collect puzzle pieces faster by leaping up and grabbing them.
After you catch a puzzle piece, press the A Button to rotate it into an ideal position. Press left or right on the Control Pad to move your character over the spot where you want to place the puzzle piece in your tower. Press the B Button to place the puzzle piece.
Keep an Eye on the Lamp and the Meter!
Danger Lamp
Flashes whenever a leaky row is destroyed by rising water. If water rises up to a row with a gap, the danger lamp will flash, and the entire row will collapse.
If a leaky row sinks, all of the rows above it will drop a level closer to the rising water.
Wobble Meter
Indicates the overall stability of your tower. If you build a tower with too many gap-plagued rows, the meter will turn red... and the rows with gaps will crumble.

How To Play

Tutorial

Practice Steps
Perfect your skills by completing this short and easy stage! Unlike normal game modes, you don't have to worry about enemies or a time limit here.
The water rises slowly and your sluggish opponent is in no hurry. All you have to do is build your tower to the top. Once you think you have it mastered, you can cancel as long as your tower is halfway complete.
Egg Mania Modes
Over Easy (1 to 2 players)
Over Easy is the easiest way to play Egg Mania. You'll find that you'll have plenty of time to place falling blocks and the water oozes up slower than molasses. Beginning players can complete all eight stages in this introductory game.
Once you do it, you'll be ready for the challenges in Hard Boiled.
