THE ENEMIES
Here are some of the enemies Alfred meets. Watch out! There are many more
waiting to foil Alfred's mission.
Mino - the whale
An engine propelled monster found under water. If Alfred touches
Mino, he meets a watery end!
Mag-Mine
Peck the On/Off block to activate and deactivate the Mag-Mine. When
active, it is attracted to Alfred. Alfred should only touch the
Mag-Mine in a dive bomb, which bounces him into the air. Alfred can
use this to reach normally impossible places.
Byron Snail
He looks harmless enough, but Alfred better not touch him!
The Control Mine
The Control Mine is guided by the direction of the arrow on the
Control Block. The mine is the only thing that can break through the
Grim Blocker.
Grim Blocker
The Grim Blocker is normally found blocking Alfred's path.
[page 9]
The Control Block
Peck the Control Block, to change it into an arrow. Peck it again to
move the arrow in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (depends
on the side where Alfred stands).
THE EVIL MEKA-CHICKENS
They designed and built all the obstacles to stop Alfred from rescuing Billy
and his brothers. Alfred must defeat all the Meka-Chickens before he can make
the rescue.
When Alfred meets a Meka-Chicken, he flies in his Meka-Buster Ship, which
fires large bullets. To help fly the Meka-Buster use the Control Pad to aim
and B to fire.
p.s. They only have one weak point. Find it and blast away.

MR. PECKLES HINTS & TIPS
Mr Peckles Secret Room
On each level, if you look hard enough, you will find a door to a
secret room. When in there, if you pick up the telephone, Mr.
Peckles will give you a pot of jam.
Pot of Jam
This special jam pot lets Alfred fire bombs at monsters. Also use
the bombs to find secret blocks, collect bonuses, shoot directional
indicators, and activate On/Off blocks.
Moving Platforms
Some platforms follow paths around the map. These appear as dotted
lines.
[page 11]
Secret
This game has loads of secret and hidden parts - things that can be
triggered by shooting them, invisible springs that appear when landed
on, walls that can be walked through, and lots more.
You have read the book - now play the game!
