PLAYING THE GAME
•
Bubble Ring Bonus: Swim through every Bubble Ring in a level to earn a Starfish.
•
Hero Bonus: If you manage to trap every enemy in a Bubble and pop the Bubble, you will earn a Starfish as your Hero Bonus!
•
Pebble Bonus: Some levels have colored pebbles and platforms that match the pebbles' colors. Carry each pebble to the platform of the same color to earn a Starfish.
•
Race Bonus: Some levels have speed races in them. All you need to do is complete the race to move on to the next part of the level, but if you come in first, you will earn a Starfish!
Bonus Levels
After collecting all of the Starfish in a level, you can play a bonus level that rewards you with another Starfish if you complete it.
If you collect every Starfish in the game, you will be rewarded with a nice surprise — beautiful artwork of your favorite finny friends! Here are the different types of bonus levels that you will see:
•
Luxo Ball Bonus: Send the Luxo Ball through all of the Luxo Ball hoops to earn a bonus Starfish.
•
Pairs: Match up the pairs of hidden pictures to complete this bonus level!
•
Simon Says: Copy the shapes that the school of moonfish form to complete this bonus level and earn a Starfish.
•
Slide Puzzle: Slide the tiles with the Action Button to form a picture. You can only move a tile up, down, right, or left, and you can only move it into an empty space. This one's tricky!
•
Teamwork: Nemo, Marlin, and Dory have to work together to complete the level. You can "tag" between the three friends and use their different sizes and strengths to clear obstacles.
Enemies & Characters
Nemo
The star of the game, Nemo has a weaker fin but can dart into objects or carry small items. His small size allows him to access areas bigger fish cannot.
Marlin
Nemo's father, Marlin is initially fearful but becomes courageous to save his son. He can dart into objects and carry items using the Action Button.
Dory
Bigger, faster, and stronger than Nemo and Marlin, Dory is also very forgetful. She can carry items and knock objects over due to her strength.
Electric Eels
These slimy shockers will zap you if you swim too close. They are found only in deep sea levels and swim back and forth between two areas.
Floating Spiny Sea Slugs
These enemies have spikes that stick out in regular patterns. Move by them quickly when they are pulling their spikes in to pass safely.
Hermit Crabs
Found in many levels, they sit on the ocean floor and jump up when you swim too close. Stay out of reach of their snapping claws or try to trap them in a Bubble.
Puffer Fish
Found in earlier levels, touching a Puffer Fish will send you shooting into the sea. Watch their pattern of inflating, floating, deflating, and sinking to get past them.
Sea Urchins
Like Puffer Fish, Sea Urchins puff themselves up with spikes that will hurt you if you run into them. Stay away from them to avoid a sharp surprise.
Snapping Clams
These villains appear in most levels and jump up when you get too close. Send a Bubble their way to keep them quiet for good.
Squishes
Squishes bounce along the level and will give you a painful sting if you run into them. Be careful to avoid these bouncing baddies.
Items & Weapons
Bubbles
Swim into a Bubble to send it into the nearest enemy. Once the enemy is trapped, dart toward it with the Action Button to defeat it.
Bubble Rings
Swimming through a Bubble Ring gives you a little burst of speed. If you swim through all of them in a level, you get a special bonus - a Starfish!
Bubble Trails
These tiny bubbles form a regular Bubble if you swim into all of them. Once they become a Bubble, you can use it to trap and defeat an enemy.
Krill
Run into a Krill to get it to follow your character, protecting you from enemies. If you don't have any Krill and bump into an enemy, you will have to restart the level.
Red Rings
Red Rings are like Speed Rings, giving you a burst of speed when you swim through them, but unlike Speed Rings, they are always present and never disappear.
Sea Anemone
If Nemo or Marlin swim into a Sea Anemone via the Action button, they get 'charged up' and spin around for a short time, making them invulnerable to enemies.
Shells
Collect these brightly colored Shells for bonus points; the more you get, the higher your score will be.
Shell Rings
Shell Rings are special circles of Shells; if you swim through the center of a Shell Ring, you automatically collect all of the Shells within it.
Speed Rings
Some fish leave Speed Rings behind them when you're following them; you need to swim through these rings to catch up with the fish.
Starfish
Each level has special goals that, when completed, earn you a Starfish. Collecting all Starfish in a level will unlock game secrets from the Main Menu.
