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 elimated! 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 girlsfriend. 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 intil you run out of Marios.
