From the second game onward, move Lolo to Password with the control pad and press the Start button. When this is done, you may continue the game from the room you last completed. 2. Taking Heart Framers Take the Heart Framers by moving Lolo. Many monsters will block Lolo's way. Confine them using the Emerald Framers, Magic Shots and Power Options. 3. Clearing of a Room When Lolo takes all the Heart Framers on the screen, a chest will open con- taining a Jewel. Removing the Jewel clears the room. The Castle has Trees, Rocks, Flower Beds, Rivers and Deserts. --- Items 1. Heart Framers Heart-marked blocks represent Heart Framers. When all Heart Framers in the room are taken, the Chest opens showing a Jewel. The Heart Framers protect Lolo from Monsters' attacks (Medusa's menacing gaze or flame-throwing Gol). It cannot be moved. 2. Special Heart Framers Special Heart Framers are identical to regular Heart Framers in appearance, but have a hidden infinite power. By taking one, you can gain two Magic Shots. 3. Emerald Framers The green Emerald Framers can be moved by pushing them. Like Heart Framers, Emerald Framers can protect Lolo from Monsters' attacks and can confine them. 4. One-Way Passes Lolo cannot pass over the Arrow mark in reverse direction, but can enter through its side. Lolo can pass over the Arrow pushing an Emerald Framer or an Egg. The direction of the Arrow can be changed using Power. Monsters move in any direction regardless of the One-Way Pass. --- Environment 1. Flower Beds Lolo can seek safety from the Monsters in the Flower Beds, but they will wait and pounce on Lolo when he leaves the Flower Beds. 2. Deserts Lolo can enter Deserts freely, but his walking speed will be cut in half. 3. Lava Eggs can not be floated over Lava. Lolo can pass over it using Power of a Bridge. He must hurry, or the Bridge may burn down from the heat. 4. Bridges Lolo and the Monsters may cross Bridges at any time. 5. Trees Lolo or active Monsters cannot pass through the trees. Neither can a Magic shot, but some Monsters' attacks can go through the trees. 6. Rocks Neither Magic Shots, Monsters' attacks, Lolo nor active Monsters can pass through a rock, but you can destroy the rock by using the power of the Hammer. 7. Rivers Lolo is able to keep Eggs afloat and ride them on the water. If the current is flowing, then Lolo will be able to cross the river. However, if the current is not flowing, he will sink on the spot. --- Magic Shots Magic Shots become available when certain Heart Framers are taken. A Monster hit with a Magic Shot turns into an Egg. The Egg can be pushed around, but it will revert back to a Monster after some time. When shot with a second Magic shot, an Egg flies out of the screen and will not return for a while. After some time, it will reappear in the form of the Monster at its original posit- ion. The Egg may be floated to enable Lolo to cross rivers. Current flows only in specific directions. If there is no current flow, the Egg will sink and Lolo will be lost if he is on board. --- Power When one of the marks shown below appears on the display, the indicated power may be used, but only after a Heart Framer has been taken. Magic Shots are not available when Power is used. Bridges A Bridge can be spanned by facing Lolo toward narrow rivers and pressing Button A. One-War Passes The direction of a One-Way Pass can be changed by pressing Button A with Lolo facing the arrow. Hammers A hampering rock can be destroyed by using a Hammer.
