In this adventure game, players guide Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket through a series of challenges, including an escape from the evil Coachman on Pleasure Island.

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 Red Badge of Truth, the Yellow Badge of Bravery, and the Blue Badge of Unselfishness from the Blue Fairy and she will grant Pinocchio his wish - to be a real boy!
To learn more about how to move, please see the section called CONTROLS.
Escape From Pleasure Island
Pinocchio learns that greed 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, and the Blue Fairy will reward you with the Yellow Badge of Bravery.

Tips & Maps
JUMP
While walking around with Pinocchio on Level One, keep an eye out for water pumps, street signs, and other special objects that Pinocchio can use to jump higher and farther.
SPIN
On some levels, Pinocchio can protect himself by spinning around when near an enemy. To spin, Pinocchio must pick up a red book page.
PINOCCHIO'S HATS
Picking up a certain number of hats earns one extra try, depending on the difficulty setting: three hats on EASY, five on NORMAL, and ten on HARD.
Items & Weapons
BLUE FAIRY WAND
Pick up a Blue Fairy Wand to increase Pinocchio's health.
BOOK PAGES
Yellow, red, blue, and white pages that grant Pinocchio special moves and powers, such as flying higher on balloons, spinning to knock down enemies, jumping higher, or staying on the sea bed longer.
PINOCCHIO'S SCHOOL BOOKS
Collecting enough of these red school books earns you a chance to continue the game, requiring five books on Easy, ten on Normal, and fifteen on Hard.
How to Play
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 Red Badge of Truth. Take the wrong road and, Oh No! Pinocchio's nose grows! 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 lamppost, Jiminy must fight off the moths and bugs attracted to the light.
For more about how to move on this level, see the Controls section.
Level Three: Marionette Show
Pinocchio has his skill tested by the other marionettes in Stromboli's show. Copy the other puppets moves exactly and the audience will throw coins and bonuses in appreciation.
If you don't, well, you'll have more tomatoes than Mama Stromboli's spaghetti sauce! To learn more about the specific controls for this level, see the Controls section in this manual.
Level Four: Pleasure Island
Lampwick leads Pinocchio on a chase through Pleasure Island. Lampwick and his friends don't make it easy - they're throwing bricks and balls at Pinocchio! Avoid thrown objects and follow Lampwick as he grabs balloons and floats away.
Help Pinocchio grab one and jump from string to string on the balloons to catch him! Different colored balloons can hold Pinocchio for different amounts of time, so practice on each.
•
Note: on Easy setting, Pinocchio can stay on the first balloon he grabs and get through the level safely.
When you fly up, up, and away to the next stage, Lampwick leads the chase 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.
Be alert for bells that will switch the tracks and bonuses. At the bottom of the rollercoaster, avoid fireworks and oncoming cars. Gather as many wands, hats and books as you can before Lampwick spoils the fun!
Level Six: Search for Monstro
Help Pinocchio make his way along the bottom of the sea as he searches for Monstro the whale. Pick up clams to help weigh yourself to the sea floor. They only last a short while though, so keep finding as many as you can.
Keep your eyes open - Monstro is closer than you think. Use Sea Anemones and Manta Rays to help you cross dangerous areas and the stream of bubbles to move up and down.
Level Seven: Fish!
Caught up in a large shoal of fish, Pinocchio swims with them to get away from Monstro. Help Pinocchio stay ahead of Monstro by grabbing fish and jumping from tail to tail. The longer Pinocchio stays ahead, the more bonuses you'll collect.
Watch out for lion fish - they don't like to be grabbed - but some special fish and turtles will help you boost ahead. Watch for tuna that burp out bonuses!
Level Eight: Inside Monstro
Looks like Monstro got you anyway, but that's okay, because now you can help Geppetto get away. As you wander around the shipwreck, help Pinocchio collect firewood he can use to build a smoky fire by spinning into crates to break them apart.
Light a fire, and Monstro will sneeze everyone out into the sea. Spin into crates to break them apart. Watch out for crabs and spiky wood, and find Geppetto so you can both escape.
Level Nine: 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 rock and cracks apart, remember to think of someone else's 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 Blue Badge of Unselfishness on Pinocchio. With your help, Pinocchio has proved himself worthy of being a real boy. The Blue Fairy waves her magic wand, and Geppetto's dream comes true.
