GAME DESCRIPTION

Donkey Kong the ape has kidnapped Mario's girlfriend! In this action-packed rescue adventure, you move Mario through incredible dangers to save her. Your skill and speed determine your score.
 

GETTING READY TO PLAY
* Make sure the Video Computer System is connected to the TV, and the power supply is plugged in.

* Be sure that you have plugged the controllers into the jacks at the rear of the Video Computer System

* Insert cartridge as shown, then turn On/Off switch to ON. (ALWAYS TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH TO OFF WHEN INSERTING OR REMOVING A CARTRIDGE)
 

USING YOUR CONTROLS
 
1. Left Controller: Hold it with the red button to your upper left (toward the TV)

2. Control Stick: Push the control stick left or right to make Mario run. Position Mario under or over a ladder and push the Control Stick up or down to make Mario climb

3. Red Button: Press the Red Button to start each new screen and to make Mario jump to avoid barrels or fireballs or to grab the hammer. Jumping barrels or fireballs is easiest when Mario and the barrels are moving toward each other.
 

HERE'S HOW TO PLAY

STEP 1: Get Started
To start a game immediately after turning on your Video Computer System, just press the Red Button on your controller. To play another game, press GAME RESET
To activate Mario and start action, press the RED Button

STEP 2: Making it to the Top
When the first of your three Marios appears on the ramps, try to get him to the top to save his girlfriend. If Mario is hit by a barrel, he is eliminated. Climb the unbroken ladders to reach the next ramp! Mario cannot climb broken ladders

STEP 3: Hammer Away!
If Mario jumps up and grabs the hammer, he can face the barrels and hit them for extra points. But if the hammer misses and the barrel hits Mario, he's eliminated! And remember - he can't climb ladders with the hammer, and the hammer disappears in a few seconds

STEP 4: How Time Flies...
The Score/Bonus indicator shows your bonus "counting down" Watch out! If it reaches ZERO, Mario is eliminated!

STEP 5: Success or failure?
If you make it to the top of the ramp, the remaining bonus is added to your score and move on to the rivet screen. But if you fail, Mario is eliminated.

STEP 6: A Riveting Mission.
Mario must remove all the rivets to save his girlfriend. To remove a rivet, Mario runs or jumps over it - and it disappears!

STEPS 7: Playing with Fire.
Jump over fireballs for points - or avoid them. (Remember, the fireballs are following Mario - and they're tricky! Fireballs always stay on the same ramps, but sometimes jump across the gaps.)

STEP 8: Hurrah!
When you have removed all the rivets, the game continues to alternate between the two screens - but the action gets harder as you go! Keep playing until you run out of Marios.
