Story

The Kingdom of Pigg

Once upon a time, in the darkest part of the Dark Age, there was a peaceful Kingdom filled with fat, happy Piggs.

These Piggs had a passion for one thing, and one thing alone: Donuts. The best, most famous donut shop in the Kingdom of Pigg was a little place called Dark Age Donut. Dark Age Donut was owned by three friends called the Power Piggs.

The Power Piggs

•

Gilbert: The donut chef, and a master inventor to boot. He could fry up the tastiest cruller in the Kingdom, then make it seek, engage, and destroy an enemy.

•

Lotta: Worked the register, and a donut crossbow, too.

•

Bruno: The Bigg Pigg, the Hogg of Power, the undisputed leader of the Power Piggs, and official donut taster.

The Threat of Wolff

There was only one thing Bruno loved more than a good donut, and that was a good fight. He especially loved fighting the evil Wizzard of Wolff, and the Wizzard's band of ham-hungry minions.

But little did Bruno know, that he was about to face the biggest Wolff onslaught the Kingdom had ever seen.

The Assault

One morning, the Wizzard of Wolff gathered his forces on a hill above Dark Age Donut. "Once I've pan-fried those Power Piggs," the Wizzard shouted, "The Kingdom will be mine! All mine! There'll be bacon tonight, my boys!"

With that, the Wizzard loaded the last Wolff warrior into his catapult, and launched his devious and deadly assault.

Battle for Survival

Suddenly Wolffs came smashing through the windows of Dark Age Donut, and a mellow morning of donut-munching became a fur-flinging battle for survival. The jester cocked his deadly ninja arm, the swordsman lowered his sword... but Bruno was ready for them all. Or so he hoped.

Even Bruno, the greatest hero in the history of the Kingdom, had to wonder if he'd met his match this time. The Wizzard urged his forces on, screaming, "Go, my Wolffs, Go! And don't stop 'till you've got Bruno on a roasting-spit!"

The Fate of the Kingdom

And so the battle began. How it will end, nobody knows.

With your help the Power Piggs can be victorious. They can drive the Wizzard of Wolff from the Kingdom of Pigg forever. But if you fail, the Wizzard and his forces will be dining on roast pork tonight!

How to Play

Special Moves

The Butt-Slam

The butt-slam is a special move used to smash open boxes. To do a butt-slam, jump up and then push the DOWN button while in the air. To open up a box, just do a butt-slam on top of the box.

The Spin-Jump

When you're floating in a blow-hole, push right or left, then hit the JUMP button just as you're about to exit the blow-hole. You will do a spin-jump, which will take you much further than if you exited a blow-hole normally. You'll need to do spin-jumps in order to make it through certain sections of the game.

Objective

Move Bruno through the entire game and defeat the Wizzard of Wolff at the end.

Starting the Game

Insert the cartridge into the Super NES machine and turn on the power. Then, choose from the following menu options:

•

START: Select this if you want to start a one-player game.

•

OPTIONS: Select this if you want to play a 2-PLAYER game, alter the SOUND, or view the CREDITS.

•

PASSCODE: Select this when you've earned a passcode in previous play and want to jump forward quickly to more advanced levels.

Lives

Bruno starts the game with 4 lives. The number of lives remaining is indicated in the bottom left corner of the screen next to Bruno's face.

Life Meter

Bruno starts each turn with six glazed donuts, which are represented in the top left corner of the screen. Each time he takes a hit, he loses half of a glazed donut.

When all the donuts disappear from the meter, you lose a life. You can collect additional glazed donuts throughout the game in order to replenish Bruno's life meter.



Items & Weapons

DONUT HOLES

Collecting 100 of these earns you an extra life, with your progress tracked by the meter in the bottom right of the screen.

PLACEMARKER

Touching this pulsating white starburst turns it into Gilbert's face, marking the location where you will return after losing a life.
