    -Listen for the sound that signals a Magic Mat appearance.
*   Claim a Magic Mat with your colour and you'll glow and make music!
    -While glowing, try to land on the same Trampoline as your opponent.
     The other player will be unable to move for a short time.

    -To use a Tricky Trap: Press the red button on your joystick while
     your critter is jumping.
     *  The Trampoline you had been on will disappear.

    each Gold Mat you land on.
    -Land on a Gold Mat: score 7 points.

MOVIN' UP

*   Listen for the 5 beeps that signal the end of a wave!
*   Position yourself to climb the Trampoline ladder, a single row of
    Trampolines that leads to the next level.
*   The higher you go, the tougher the going gets!

STAYING ALIVE

*   Each player starts with 6 lives.
    -When a life counter reaches "0", that player is using his last life.
*   Lose a Life each time your critter disappears off the bottom of the
    screen.
*   You earn a BONUS LIFE when your score reaches 2,000 points.

JUMPIN' TO CONCLUSIONS

*   The surviving player earns 200 additional points for each Life they
    have left.
    -If adding bonus points puts your score over the 2,000 point
     mark, you earn an additional Life.
    -You earn an additional 200 points for this extra life.
