Saving and Data Management

Game Guide: Fire
Catch the characters falling from the burning building and help them to the carriage.
•
Classic: On Easy, characters only fall from the fourth floor, but on Hard, they fall from the third floor, too, so watch out!
•
Modern: Different characters bounce to different heights, so keep an eye on which characters fall faster! Catch an egg once to see what's inside. Make sure to carry stars all the way to the carriage, but drop the Bob-ombs before they reach the carriage, or you will get a Miss mark!
Game Guide: Donkey Kong
Avoid enemies and grab the keys so you can rescue Donkey Kong from Mario.
•
Classic: Use your jump wisely to avoid the crocodiles. The sooner you open the cage, the more points you receive! Be careful timing your jump when you go for that key!
•
Modern: You can step on the Goombas and Nipper Plants, but to attack other enemies, you have to drop fruit. Be careful with your timing as you make the final approach to the cage!
Control Guide
