Second Player Joining When the Game is in Process If a second player would like to join the game after the first player has already started, he should press B button on the secon player's controller. The second player automatically becomes the character which the first player did not choose. Names of Controller Parts and Operating Instructions Controller 1 - For 1-player game Controller 2 - For second player in 2-player game During the game, the buttons have the following functions. START button: Pause. A button: Punch. B button: Jump. Game Over and Continue Mode When your life indicator becomes zero, your character turns back into a human being and the game is over. If you would like to continue the game, press the B button before the human goes off the screen. Your score will continue as well. Even after the human eaves the screen, you can still continue the game if you press the B button within 5 seconds, but your score goes to zero. Bonus Stage Every 7 days, there is a Search Bonus Stage. Inside the only building on the screen a mega-vitamin is hidden. Find it to restore your character to perfect health. Map Screen Your goal is to destroy all of the states in the U.S. After you crush an area (for example, California), the screen automatically changes to the map screen, and the area you destroyed is indicated in black. Some cities in California and Illinois are hard to destroy, so you may have to try twice. When you've partially destroyed one of these areas, they'll be shown in brown; once it's completely destroyed, it will show up in black. The Bad Guys There are two main types of enemies in Rampage - soldiers and vehicles. Soldiers - fall into four categories: ones with bombs, ones with grenades, ones with guns. and ones with parachutes. All of these can give you extra power if you catch them and, well - eat them. Except the soldier with the bomb. If he's got the bomb, wait until he puts it down - then get him. Vehicles - you'll battle helicopters, tanks and police cars, all of which will be shooting at you. You'll get big points if you smash these. Occasionally, you'll see thunder clopuds cross the sky. Watch out for lightning from these - it can really ruin your day. A tip on photographers - get them before their flash goes off; otherwise you're in for a fall. A Monster's Guide to Fine Dining in the City It's a good idea to eat the food you find while you're smashing a building. Sometimes. Just like real life, some food if good for you, some isn't. Here's some edible do's and don'ts: The good stuff: milk, turkey, toast, coffee, melon, fruits, hamburgers and fish bowls The bad stuff: cactus, skulls, toasters, lamps, candles and commodes (you know). One other thing on people-eating. Occasionally you will see a man or a woman appear inside a building and try to get away. You can boost your power considerably if you catch them. Go get'em big guy! Some Final Helpful Hints 1) If you're playing a two-player game, and your partner turns back into a human, you can increase your power if you grab him and eat him before he gets off the screen. It's a monster-eat-monster world out there! 2) When a building is about to go down, a cloud of smoke will appear at the bottom of the building. If you happen to be hanging on the building when this happens, jump off - otherwise you'll take some damage. 3) Safes and bathtubs just tend to get in the way. Punch them to get them out of the way. 4) All the building must fall in a city before you can move on to the next city.
