KANGAROO
• Screen “warp” tricks: Press and hold LEFT+RIGHT+DOWN. Your character will fall through
the “floor” and off the screen, and eventually reappear at the top (watch the bonus fruit - it will start to blink right before you appear). If timed correctly, you can land on the top branch! A good short-cut to Baby Kangaroo is to move directly under the top ladder nearest her and time it so you appear somewhere on the ladder. Warning - if you stop falling somewhere below the bottom margin, the game will
crash (video #1). {Scott Stilphen}
• The monkeys throwing pattern is always in this order: top - middle - bottom. Note that the first apple thrown won’t always be a top one.
• The maximum bonus points possible for each screen are: (1) 1,500 (2) 1,500
(3) 1,600.
• BUG: On screen two, after climbing a ladder, do an extra jump before trying to jump across a broken
branch. If you don’t, your kangaroo will “hesitate” before jumping (usually costing you a life). Also on this screen, when you jump from the small branch onto the third “level”, sometimes you won’t move up- you’ll simply jump in place. Move a little to the left or right and try again. {Scott Stilphen}
• BUG: If more than 8 extra lives are accumulated, the reserve lives counter will start to show
graphics glitches (video #2). {Scott Stilphen}
• BUG: The manual incorrectly states the game uses the TV Type switch; the program doesn’t even check to see what it’s set at.
