Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this platforming adventure based on the Shrek franchise, players guide the ogre and his companions through the kingdom of Far Far Away. The primary objective is to complete five chapters across multiple storybooks to unlock subsequent levels and advance the narrative. Players must also scour each stage to collect coins left by a Leprechaun in exchange for special rewards.
Story
The Story
In the beautiful land of Far Far Away, the King and Queen have received word that their long-lost daughter Fiona has finally found her happily ever after. King Harold and Queen Lillian decide to throw a grand royal ball for Fiona and her new prince charming. Little do they realize, of course, that Fiona's new husband is none other than the ugly ogre Shrek.
Once they receive word, Shrek thinks going home is a "really bad idea" and isn't too happy about facing the parents-and castle guards-who locked his wife in a dragon's tower. But Fiona (along with Donkey) convince Shrek it will be a good time, and together they depart for the far-out land of Far Far Away.
And so, our twisted fairy tale adventure begins.
Storybooks
Each storybook contains five chapters, and there are five storybooks total. When you first begin, you will only be able to choose the first storybook.
•
Complete all the chapters in a storybook to unlock the next book.
Collecting Coins
As you progress through the levels, you'll find coins scattered randomly about. These belong to the Leprechaun. If you can find all the coins in each of the levels he's dropped them in, he might give you something special.
•
To collect a coin, simply walk over it.
•
You can keep track of how many you've retrieved so far using the counter in the top right.
How to Play
Getting Started
•
Make sure the POWER switch is OFF.
•
Insert the Shrek 2™ Game Pak into the Game Boy® Advance slot as described in your Nintendo Game Boy® Advance instruction manual.
•
Turn the POWER switch ON.
•
To skip the introductory sequence, press START.
Note: The Shrek 2™ Game Pak is for the Game Boy® Advance system only.
Bonus Levels
The Leprechaun is hiding somewhere in each level. If you find him, he'll warp you to a special arena where you can play a bonus game. The bonus game changes based on the character used to find the Leprechaun:
•
Shrek - Use the mushroom to keep the three blind mice from falling! They'll bounce off the mushroom when it's under them, and if any of the mice fall to the ground, the bonus game ends. You'll receive one point for every bounce.
•
•
Puss in Boots - Don't get burned by the candle flame! There are two ropes, one on each side, with a candle in the center. Use Puss in Boots' sliding technique to jump over the candle's flame, which slowly moves up. If you get burned, the bonus game ends. You'll receive one point for every dodge.
Talking to Others
Sometimes you'll come across a character who wants to talk to you. When this happens, a picture of the B Button appears above the character. Stand next to the character you want to speak to and press the B Button.
Once you're speaking to the character, press the A Button to move to the next page or press START to finish talking immediately.
Pause Menu
Press START during gameplay to bring up the Pause menu.
•
Resume - Select Resume and press the A Button to go back to your game.
•
Quit Level - Choose Quit Level to go back to the chapter menu.
•
Sleep - Entering Sleep Mode allows you to conserve battery power without losing your current game progress. To enter Sleep Mode, highlight the Sleep option and press the A Button. To wake your Game Boy® Advance, press SELECT and the L and R Buttons simultaneously.
Game Mechanics
Some switches are used to close drawbridges. These switches can be triggered by an attack from any character.
Much like the numbered platforms, these blocks require the effort of several characters. The number on the side determines how many characters must push against the surface at the same time to make the block move.

Enemies & Characters
Donkey
Can jump, kick, kick objects, perform a spinning kick in mid-air, and jump down from thin ledges.
Puss in Boots
Can jump, slash, slide down ropes, climb walls and ropes, and jump down from thin ledges.
Gingerbread Man
Can jump, throw a cane horizontally or upwards, and jump down from thin ledges.
Tips & Maps
Gingerbread Man
Stop the pumpkins using his candy cane throw, but do not hit the fairies or the bonus game ends. You receive one point for every pumpkin hit, and higher scores earn better prizes.
Platforms, Switches and Push Blocks
Logs and crates can be stood on, stacked, and picked up by Shrek or kicked by Donkey to reach difficult areas. Mushrooms and springboards also allow access to high areas and can be moved or stacked.
Tree Limbs and Flagpoles
These can be used as springboards and cannot be moved, but Shrek can body slam them for extra height.
Sloped Surfaces
Surfaces like wires and ropes are sloped and can be climbed up or slid down by Puss in Boots.
Team Effort Platforms
These platforms have a white gauge with a red number indicating how many characters must stand on them to make them fall.
Brick Walls
This type of wall can be destroyed using Donkey's kick attack or broken using Shrek's body slam attack.
Items & Weapons
Small Health
The small health item restores one health bubble of the character that walks over it.
Full Health
The full health item restores all health bubbles of the character that walks over it.
Barrel of Health
The barrel of health restores all health bubbles of all the characters in your party.
Fairy
When you have the Fairy, hold the A Button after jumping to fall very slowly. You'll fall at a normal pace if the A Button is released. All magic power-ups can be picked up using SELECT when standing directly behind them.
Rotten Apple
If you're carrying the Rotten Apple, you can activate it at any time by pressing and holding the B Button. This causes an explosion and all nearby enemies will be knocked out. All magic power-ups can be picked up using SELECT when standing directly behind them.
Shield
The shield allows anyone carrying it to be impervious to harm. But the shield weighs so much that you can't jump when you're holding it. All magic power-ups can be picked up using SELECT when standing directly behind them.
Ghost
The ghost makes you invisible as long as you're holding it. Enemies won't notice you, and more importantly, the ghost allows you to sneak by searchlights in stealth missions. All magic power-ups can be picked up using SELECT when standing directly behind them.
Four-Leaf Clover
This lucky item allows you to take one hit without losing any health bubbles. All magic power-ups can be picked up using SELECT when standing directly behind them.
Keys
Keys are sometimes necessary to open doors. If you find a door with a keyhole that you can't open, look nearby for a key. Keys can be picked up by pressing SELECT.
