About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that
may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures
or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
"photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including:
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking
of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of
awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or
convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby
objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor
if you experience any of
these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the
above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting
farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen,
playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or
fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information.
The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important safety and health
information that you should read and understand before using this
software
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal
course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent
shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images
created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your
television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely
played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the
owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is
strictly prohibited.

THE STORY
The Twelve Sacred Albums of Funk have been stolen! It is up to you to
travel to Earth as Big Earl, ToeJam and Latisha in order to recover the
twelve Albums for Lamont – the Great Funkopotamous – and funkify the
situation, returning order to the universe. On your journey you will
encounter hordes of the most unfunky Earthlings you’ve ever seen,
dozens of cool gift-wrapped weapons and power-ups, five vast environments, and tons of humorous mini-game challenges that will test your
skills, your wits, and your Ways of the Funk.
THE CHARACTERS
ToeJam
“Why act humble
if you got it all.”
ToeJam (TJ) is feared and admired by all other
rappers, desired by all the hottest ladies of
Funkotron, and looked up to by all as a leader and
a role model … in his dreams! The truth is, TJ’s
natural abilities are considerable, but they are
nothing compared to his self-confidence. It's
about the size of a planet.
ToeJam's biggest dream is to have a girlfriend.
Any girlfriend. Which is to say, in TJ’s view
of things, he just hasn’t picked one yet.
ToeJam knows, without any doubt,
that the best way to win a girl over
is to wear her down with his
sharp and irresistible wit,
overwhelm her with his
raw, undiluted charm,
and impress her with his
third leg. What?! He has
three legs.
TJ’s latest goal in life is to get Latisha to
admit that she is madly in love with him.
Big Earl is TJ’s closest friend. He’s the only
one TJ doesn’t bother trying to impress. TJ
knows that Big E will always be there to
back him up.
4
Big Earl
“Don’t sweat it,
it’s all good.”
Big Earl (Big E) never gives a moment’s thought to
how cool he is. He is simply Big E and he don't
sweat the small stuff. In fact, Big Earl don’t sweat
nothin’… He just takes it as it comes, at his own
laid back pace. In his cool, good-natured way, Big
E manages to enjoy just about everything. He has
never had a bad thought about anybody in his
whole Earl-life.
Big E is just about the only one on
Funkotron who can put up with
ToeJam on a daily basis. While others
might not understand it, Big E actually
looks up to ToeJam. Big Earl grew up
next door to ToeJam and has been his
homeboy since nursery school.
Earl could Rap before he could talk.
His first words were, "Yo, What Up?"
Between nap times, he and TJ used
to put on Rap performances in the
alley behind the nursery school.
Earl seems innocent, but like
Latisha, he's been around
the block.
Big Earl has a mountain of
respect for Latisha, and thinks
of her as his sister.
5
6
Latisha
“You can talk about it or you can
just do it. Just don’t waste my time.”
Latisha has a long history of guys trying to put
the moves on her. One thing they all learn is
that no one -- and that means no one --
messes with Latisha!
In addition to having a sharp mind, Latisha
is also blessed with a hot bod and a
wicked sense of rhythm. Latisha can bust
out some moves like nobody’s business,
and she has that special grace of
someone who never worries about
what other people think.
Latisha comes from a very
wealthy family. But no one, not
even TJ or Earl, is aware of
this. It’s Latisha’s secret.
Latisha is never quite sure why
she hangs with TJ and Big E.
Maybe it’s because Big E is about
the only guy who never tried to
make a move on her. Or, maybe
it’s just that she finds being
around Big E very comforting. In
an odd way, she has even grown to
like ToeJam and all of his annoying
but harmless attention.
Latisha has a sharp wit, as does
ToeJam, and although she’d never
admit it, she enjoys being
challenged by him and would miss
him if he wasn’t around.
Lamont
Lamont was born in a manger in a back alley of downtown Funkotron.
What was a manger doing in a back alley of Funkotron? This remains a
question to this day, but Lamont was born there nonetheless. Although
Lamont’s mother says that Lamont was an immaculate conception,
neighbors interviewed claim that this is highly unlikely given her active
social calendar. The moment Lamont was born, a hush came over the
land and a bright star appeared above the manger. Many wise
Funkotronians bearing gifts followed the light of the star, but it turned out
to be an airplane, and they all ended up at the airport in the next city
over. Those who came upon Lamont were afraid to approach him. Some
say it is because of his powerful presence and purity. Others say it is
because he looked like a freaky little blue worm with huge bug eyes.
Whatever the reason, it was clear that he was special.
As Lamont grew up he had an ever increasing sense that destiny was
calling to him. “Lamont!” it would say. “Lamont!” Some believe this is
why Lamont was always looking over his shoulder and shouting
“WHAT!” at unexpected times. Lamont’s first crushing moments came
when he discovered that his destiny was not going to lead him to
become the top all time basketball player on Funkotron. It was crushing
mainly because the basketball landed on him, and he had to be rushed to
the hospital. The day that Lamont was released from the hospital, he
happened to pass the Mall where they were holding a random drawing
for prizes. First Prize was a new jet scooter, and so Lamont scribbled his
name on a card and entered the drawing. He didn’t win the jet scooter,
but he did win second prize, and this was to be crowned the new
Funkopotamous, ruler of Planet Funkotron
and Original Source of all Funk in the
Known Universe. Lamont was
flabbergasted. He had never won
anything in his life. He was
presented with roses and his
new Funk crown and given
the sacred Funk Album
collection, which he would
henceforth be responsible
for. “Speech! Speech!”
everyone cried. Unfortunately,
all Lamont could think about
was the jet scooter that he had
almost won, so after some tears,
he just said... “Thanks.”
7
8
In the years that followed, Lamont grew into his role as Funkopotamous.
Eventually, he came to believe that he was in fact the source of all Funk
in the Known Universe. As it happens, some Funkotronians were
skeptical of this, until the day Lamont made his guest appearance on the
dance show Soul Bus. Lamont got so seriously down, and busted so
many extreme Funk moves, that few Funkotronians could thereafter deny
Lamont's rightful place as Funkopotamous.
The Anti Funk
This character is a complete mystery -- even to
his own family. If you want to learn more about
the Anti-Funk, you will have to make it to the end
of the game. Good luck.

GAMEPLAY
Structure and Progress
• Keys
You’ll need to collect Keys in order to unlock Level Doors. You don’t
need to collect all the Keys, but each Level Door requires a certain
total, so if you don’t collect enough, you may need to go back into
earlier Levels and get more Keys.
• Level Doors
Level Doors are found throughout the Five Zones of the World. You
will need Keys in order to unlock them and gain access to each of the
Levels in each Zone. As you collect more and more Keys, you will be
able to access higher Levels.
• Karaoke Microphones
Inside many of the Levels are special Missions you will need to
complete in order to earn Karaoke Microphones. These Microphones
are needed in order to gain access to the Gate Battle located in each
of the Zones.
• Gate Battle Platforms
Using Presents
Presents are valuable and important to your quest! Collect Presents,
buy Presents, steal Presents — and press the B button to access
them through your Present Menu. Remember the Golden Rule: “To
Die with many Presents in your inventory is to bring great shame upon
the Funkopotamous”.
Completing Missions
Lamont has sent Agents from Funkotron down to Earth to help you on
your quest. These Agents will send you on special Missions to Funkify
certain Earthlings who are critical to the task at hand. To accomplish a
Mission you must first find the Funkotronian agent in the patchwork
Human suit. He will give you a package to deliver. Pay close attention to
which Earthling you are searching for! You must find this Earthling,
15
Funkify them, and give them the package. In return, you’ll get a Karaoke
Microphone. You will need these to gain access to Gate Battles!
The Funkotronian Agent and the Earthling will both show up on your
map as soon as you have located them. If you get stuck, take a look at
your To Do Checklist and make sure you haven’t missed a mission in
one of the Levels.
Converting Earthlings
Now, you don’t always need to convert every Earthling, but it sure is fun
to bring them over to the Ways of the Funk. Plus, by doing so you’ll earn
valuable Points. Once converted, Earthlings are friendly. Talk to them to
get Bucks, hints and help.
Talking to Earthlings
You can talk to any Earthling any time by facing them and pressing the
little Black button (the one next to the little White button) on your
controller. Earthlings that have shining Rays over their heads will drop
some money for you if you talk to them.
Sneaking Up On Earthlings
Sometimes you will encounter Earthlings who are asleep. If you are
careful, you can sneak up on them. A bubble over their head that says
"Shhh!" means you'd better tiptoe. A stop sign means you'd better stop
and wait for them to fall back asleep. If you can get close enough, shout
at them by pressing the Black button to startle them awake.
Occasionally, they will drop a Present.
Trick-or-Treating
Earthlings love costumes, and as far as they’re concerned, you’re
wearing one. You can ring doorbells and Trick-or-Treat. Never mind that
it’s not Halloween.
High Fives
If you're playing a two player game, you can face each other and press
the Black button to share a High Five and share your Health.
Rhythm Matching
Rhythm Matching is a powerful way of converting Earthlings and earning
Points. In fact, it is possibly the most potent “weapon” in the game. In
16
Rhythm Matching, you will see and hear a sequence of beats that you
will need to play along with by pressing the X and Y buttons. Nearby
Earthlings will stop and dance, and each time you successfully match a
sequence of beats, Funkify Notes will shoot out of you toward the
Earthlings. The more challenging a sequence, the more Funk it creates
and the more Earthlings you’ll convert. As your character goes up in
Rank, you’ll be able to shoot out more and more notes, and by the time
you reach the upper Ranks you will be able to convert a large group of
dancing Earthlings all at the same time. You can tell whether you are
close enough to Earthlings by the tiny dots that emanate from your body
while Rhythm Matching.
As you get better at Rhythm Matching, the sequences will start to get
more and more challenging. If you have trouble, they’ll become simpler.
Rhythm Matching has a few added benefits. You can stand still or walk
around while Rhythm Matching. When there are no Earthlings around
that need Funkification, matching rhythms will earn you points.
Earthlings can’t attack you while you match, so it is a good way to pass
through dangerous territory. Any Hidden Present, Hidden Earthling or
Hidden Portal will pop out of hiding when they come within range. And,
Funkify Notes won’t run away from you while you are matching, so
they’re much easier to catch. Feel the Funk, baby!
Perfect this skill and you will definitely have a leg up on your way to
achieving the Rank of Funklord!
Entering Elevators
Elevators are always found inside the Levels, and will take you out of
the Level and back to the Zone.
Using Mailboxes
You can use Mailboxes to send off for valuable mail order Presents,
which arrive instantly by Balloon. The number of Bucks that you
currently have is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
The cost of each Present for sale is displayed to the right of the
Present’s name.
Promotions
As Lamont says, “Promotions make a big difference — and I mean BIG.”
Earn Points to earn Promotions. You can check your Player Stats screen
to see how many Points you need to reach the next Rank. Once you’ve
earned enough Points, go see the Wiseman in the Carrot Suit. Every time
you earn a new Rank you will receive new abilities. These include things
like a longer life bar and higher Funk Fu belt levels. Remember that at the
17
end of the game, before you can face the Anti-Funk, you will need to have
achieved at least the rank of Rapmaster! Tip: to earn additional points,
be sure to do as many of the Mini-Games as you can.
Saving Games
Every time you collect a Karaoke Microphone or retrieve one of the
Sacred Albums of Funk, your progress will automatically be saved. You
can also save your game at any time by going to the Pause Menu and
selecting Save Game. You can’t save your game while playing a MiniGame or an Xbox Live Downloaded Level.
Two Player Games
You can start a two player game from the Main Menu, or a second player
can join your game at any time by pressing the START button.
COLLECTABLE OBJECTS
Presents
You’ll find Presents all over the world left
behind by Lamont’s dawg Santa Funk. Get
used to checking your Present Menu (by
pressing your B button) whenever you’re
in trouble.
Locked Presents
On some Levels there will be Presents to
“unlock”. When you find these Presents
they will be on Pedestals. When you
“unlock” a Present this means that it is
available for use in the game. If you have
any Presents in your Present Menu that
are locked, they will have a lock over the
18
Present icon. If you wish to unlock this Present type, search through the
Checklists of all of the Levels you have been though (by pressing the
Start button, and then scrolling up or down) to see which Level that
Locked Present on a Pedestal is on.
Risky Presents
Some Presents are Risky Presents. Risky
Presents have a certain percent chance of
backfiring. This probability is different for
each player character. When a backfire
occurs your Present gets treated as some
random bad Present. If you wish to fix
a Risky Present you can use a “Fix
Present” Present.
Unidentified and
Mys te ry Presents
Sometimes Presents are Unidentified,
and you won’t know what’s inside until
you open them. You can ask the Wiseman
in the Carrot Suit to tell you what’s inside,
for a fee, or you can use an Identify
Present Present.
Open Presents
You’ll find some open Presents on the
ground. Some Presents you can find are
High Tops, Spring Shoes, Laugh Blaster,
Funk Rhythms and Icarus Wings, just to
name a few.
Bucks
Money makes the world go
‘round.
Bucks will let you buy all
kinds of things. You can pay
tolls on some bridges, you
can pay off the Wiseman to
identify some of your
Unidentified Presents for Two
Bucks, buy Presents from the
Mailbox,
buy Funkify Notes from the Gospel Choir, buy Sushi-To-Go, and if you’re
19
lucky,
you’ll find a Shopkeeper. He’s got the
best Presents for sale.
Points
Points will help you to increase your Rank,
which is essential to converting those
pesky Earthlings.
Good Food
Good Food will keep your Health up, which
keeps you from dying! Good Food varies
from Fresh Pumpkin Pie to Fudge Brownie
Sundae. There are different point values
for each Food. You can also buy Sushi-ToGo from the Sushi Chef, or catch the Fey
Baker for some Cake.
Bad Food
You do not want to eat this stuff if you’re
ToeJam or Latisha! You’ll lose points.
There’s everything from Stale Toast to
Maggot Filled Egg Salad with Vomit Sauce.
Mmm, mmm. But hey, if you’re Earl, he’ll
eat anything and be happy — all Food is
Good Food to Earl.
Keys
Keys will get you into sublevels.
You need keys!!
20
Karaoke
Microphones

access to Gate Battles. Once you successfully win these Gate Battles, you’ll unlock
other Zones

which you can gain access. But, you will
need Special Items that can only be had
by completing certain Missions in the
various levels of the game.

the ground that give away the location of
Hidden Objects. Use your Funk Fu (on the

you’ll get a Present, sometimes an
Earthling. When your Rank is high enough,
you will hear a sound and feel a rumble
when you are near Hidden Objects. This is
your Sixth Sense.

Man with his out of control lawn mower!
Urban
Bus stops, basketball courts, graffitiladen buildings and bridges. Watch out

using Novocain.
Desert
Sweeping dunes, oases, mesas and
pueblos. Watch out for the Very Unfunky
Country Singer out here.
25

The Final
Encounter
If you make it far enough, you will
do battle once and for all with the
Evil Anti-Funk.
THE EARTHLINGS
You’ll encounter some of the most unfunky Earthlings you’ve ever
imagined on your way to the Anti-Funk.
Ahnold
Feeling skinny yet? This guy will give you access to all of
the goodies you’ve downloaded from Xbox Live.
Boogie Man
Boogie Men come out at night. They are invisible when they
stand still. X-Ray glasses will help you see them.
26
Cheerleader
She may inadvertently whack you with her pom poms when
doing a cheer. There are worse ways to die than this.
Chicken with Mortar
This chicken shoots her own eggs at you.
Construction Worker

Most Unfunky, his Country Western music fires blasts of
Anti-Funk which knock your Funkify notes off of you.
Cow Ghost
You can’t see him until he’s near.
His cow spirit will possess you.

Try to dodge her at the last second.
Cupid
Falling in love doesn’t hurt you — but it’s hard to walk
straight, and you can walk on air.
Devil
He followed you back from you-know-where.
He can’t be converted, so don’t try.

Catch him to get some cake worth 50 points of life!
Funkotronian Agent
He's not really an Earthling, but he’s got the supremely
clever Earthling disguise on. He will give
you secret Missions to complete.
Geek Brothers
These guys use their remote control robot orb. When it hits
you it causes one of your Presents to be opened at random.
Gospel Choir
Buy Funkify Notes from the Choir.
3 Bucks gets you 3 Notes. Amen.
Insane Dentist
Sneak up on him and shout if you find him asleep.
His drill is really painful.

These guys do lots of damage.
28

of your Identified Presents to get randomized.
Mole
He will steal your Presents. Catch him above ground, or
convert him or touch him, to get your Presents back.

kick doesn’t do a lot of damage, but she is persistent
and hides a lot.

He uses the ancient Ninja art of bunny disguise.
Keep moving to dodge his kick.

Don’t mess with Pomeranians, man.

are pretty scary.

This Food is worth 30 points of life.
Tourist
Her flash will hurt you and blind you for a few
moments, and do damage to you.
Wahine
Hula dancing doesn’t hurt you. It’s only a problem when
other dangerous Earthlings are around.
Wiseman in a Carrot Suit
The Wiseman will identify any Unidentified Present for
2 Bucks. He will also give you your Promotion when
you have enough Points for one.
Yeti
He is a Master of Disguise. He tries to poke
you with a sharpened pencil.

of all different shapes and sizes. You will
