Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this side-scrolling platformer, players control the aquatic superhero James Pond, codenamed RoboCod, who must stop the evil Doctor Maybe from ruining Christmas with sabotaged, explosive toys. Equipped with a high-tech RoboSuit, players must infiltrate a massive North Pole toy factory, navigate various hazardous levels, and rescue captured penguins to unlock new areas. Ultimately, the goal is to defuse the villain's threats and save the world before the holiday is ruined.
Story
The Threat of Doctor Maybe
In a new bid for world domination, the evil Doctor Maybe has taken over the main North Pole based toy factory and has sabotaged many of the games destined for homes throughout the world. His demands are not yet known, but world leaders are having an urgent meeting to discuss the situation in an effort to avert his treacherous threats.
Government spokesmen have not been available for comment; however, we do know that the President has cancelled all meetings and this morning left for Geneva where it is believed he will be meeting up with other world leaders.
Rumors emerged from The White House last night that security services have been put on alert and that the highly secretive and successful F.I.5.H. underwater espionage agency has been contacted.
The History of the Conflict
Doctor Maybe strikes dread in the hearts of us all, but having been thwarted in the past by F.I.5.H., it was believed that he had given up all hope of future dastardly activities. But it is now evident, that his earlier failures have made him more determined than ever to dominate the world stage.
President of North Pole Toys Inc., S Claus, who narrowly escaped from Maybe's evil clutches and first brought the news to the Oceanic Times said last night, "This is terrible news, our whole year's supply was ready for dispatch when we were overwhelmed by Maybe and his gang." Pressed further by our top reporter Lewis Lean, Claus said that he had little faith in world governments to solve the problem and that the only way to ensure world safety this Christmas was to let F.I.5.H. deal with the problem.
The Call for James Pond
Lewis Lean, the only known person outside of World leaders to have made contact with F.I.5.H., speculates that they will have to put their top agent onto the case, James Pond. He's dealt with Maybe before and knows how his evil and devious mind works.
However, Pond has been out of circulation for a while since his last encounter with Maybe and is rumored to have been involved in a highly intensive training program. It seems that our only chance now lies in the capable fins of the aquatic super hero, James Pond.

The Mission Briefing
Dr. Maybe is back! We have learned from Washington and the U.N. that he has taken over the central toy factory on the North Pole and has sabotaged an unknown number of toys disguised as penguins with tiny but lethal explosive charges. If they are not diffused within 48 hours they will be distributed throughout the globe and wreak havoc throughout Christmas.
Your mission is tough but straightforward. Infiltrate the factory and free the penguins.
Mission Intelligence
•
We don't have the keys to each factory, but when you rescue the toys in one, Maybe's short circuited security system unlocks the next door for you.
•
There is a factory section hidden on the blueprint plans of the castle. We can give you no information of its whereabouts, but this section must be found to fully complete your task.
•
You will need your new RoboCod RoboSuit to aid you in your mission, so dust it off and get ready!
How to Play
Rescue Mission 1
Jump over ping-pong bats and volleyballs, then stretch high above giant boxing gloves and golf clubs to clobber Dr. Maybe's servants of destruction.
If you're lucky enough to find an airplane, just jump in the cockpit and fly! Our spies tell us that this is where Maybe has hidden one of the sets of wing attachments for your Robosuit.
Rescue Mission 2
Rescue sinister stuffed bears and horrified hippos before Dr. Maybe devours them! Collect points and extra lives on this level to stock up for the lean times ahead.
Jump in the cannons then press the B-Button to get a boost to the top!
Rescue Mission 3
All the world's holiday cakes, sweets and cookies are made here in Santa's confectionery factory. Battle half baked cherry Pie Soldiers and Maybe's mutant caterpillars to make the sour sweets edible again.
If Barber Pole exits aren't getting you anywhere, look for secret pits and tunnels!
Rescue Mission 4
Model trains, hungry cars, and crazed wind-up wheels chase you through the ins- and -outs of the mechanical toy factory! Remember, Dr. Maybe has a screw loose so stay on the tips of your fins!
Use the dolls and small trains to bounce up to the goodies out of reach.
Rescue Mission 5
There's only one way to rescue the toys made especially for bath-time - in the bathtub. Bump the very first mystery block you see and a tub pops out for you to use.
What You See
Each factory is guarded by Dr. Maybe's el-cheapo security system. Why was it so cheap? Because it doesn't work in the frozen wasteland of the Arctic.
The system has short-circuited, allowing you to pass freely from one factory to the next, but only in order from the ground up. Explore the castle rooftops - you may find some very interesting nooks and crannies!
Barber Pole Exits
To exit most rooms, walk to the Barber Pole Exit when it's flashing. Sometimes you have to collect all Penguin Bombs in a room before the exit flashes, sometimes you won't (in a secret bonus room, for instance, the exits are always flashing).
There is more than one way to exit many rooms.
Bonus Blocks
Bump these blocks from underneath for surprises good and bad. If a meanie pops out, RUN!
If a car, plane or bathtub pop out, jump in and press B to fly.
Remaining Chances
This tells you how many chances you have left to finish the game. On one hand, the Cod counts down your Chances to catch Dr. Maybe.
In the other hand, he holds batteries for the Robosuit. Each time one of Maybe's Meanies touches you, you lose a battery.
When you're out of batteries, the suit quits working and you lose a chance. Stock up on batteries by collecting stars.
Penguin Bombs
Dr. Maybe's bombs have been disguised as penguins to hinder your rescue attempts. There are Penguin Bombs on most levels and you must deactivate all bombs on a level before the Barber Pole Exit flashes.
Tips & Maps
RESCUE MISSION 6
Vicious chess pieces and evil dominoes abound in the board games factory where you must rescue hostage toys from Dr. Maybe. Use your super stretchability to reach secret rooms and rescue unhappy toys hidden among the cards and dominoes.
RESCUE MISSION 7
Run across blocks, escape angry flowers, and leap on castle window sills to reach the top of the castle and save the toys. Flowers only attack when you get too close, so try to stay as far away from them as you can.
RESCUE MISSION 8
Work your way through this factory of the arts filled with unfriendly stereo systems, paintbrushes, and typewriters. When running on sheet music, tease enemies forward before jumping to the next bar.
RESCUE MISSION 9
Get shot out of a cannon and into adventure while collecting all you can in Dr. Maybe's circus. No secret information was obtained for this factory, so you must complete this final mission on your own.
