HOW TO PLAY
Your goals within the game include winning trophies and reaching the highest
Health, Happiness, and Intelligence levels possible. These goals can be achieved
many different ways, most notably by playing games and earning Neopoints, which
afford you a number of options, including the ability to buy cool Items for your
Neopet. Using these Items will affect the Health, Happiness, and Intelligence levels
of your Neopet.
SHOYRU FACE
You can view your Neopet’s profile here. Scroll through all the different bio
information of your Neopet (Name, Age, Gender, Likes To Do, Greeting,
Strength, Defense, Movement, Height, Weight). Simply twist the controller to
the RIGHT or LEFT to scroll through the information.
BOOK
This book is designed as your Quick Reference Guide. Here you will be able
to check the status of your Neopet’s Health, Happiness, and Intelligence
levels. These levels are affected by how you play with, and how you treat
your Neopet. Feeding and sleeping on time makes your Neopet’s Health,
Happiness, and Intelligence levels go up. A Petpet or Toys can increase your
Neopet’s Happiness, and Intelligence.
Lack of sleep, feeding, and interaction (toys and Petpets) will make your
Neopet’s levels drop and may cause your Neopet to leave you.
TROPHIES
This will tell you how many trophies you have obtained, if any, as well as the
highest score and level reached thus far.
You can earn trophies in all six games! When a trophy is attained by the
efforts of the player, it is displayed on the trophy screen.
In order to earn a trophy, you must complete the hardest level of each game.
The scoring for each game is different. When a score is reached that beats
the target score for that level, a new level will be unlocked and when the
hardest level is complete the trophy will be awarded. The goal score
breakdowns for each game are located in the game descriptions section of
this book.
FOOD
You must remember to feed your Neopet three times a day. You will need to
purchase the food Items from the food store, which will automatically store
the Items in your Neopet’s Burlap Sack. You can access the food directly by
pressing ENTER when the FOOD icon is highlighted. This will take you to
the list of your food Items that you have purchased.
Using the TWIST CONTROLLER to scroll UP and DOWN, choose a food
Item from the list that you want to feed and click ENTER. You will be asked
"FEED NOW?" and given the options "YES" or "NO." If "YES" is selected,
you will see the icon for that Item flashing and then the animation of your
Neopet eating, followed by a gratifying phrase.
Your Neopet likes to eat regularly, every day at: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.,
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. At these times, you should
select the food icon to feed your Neopet.
If you feed your Neopet on time, you will receive 50 Health points for healthy
food, or 50 Happiness points for treats.
• Caution: Don’t overfeed your Neopet! Extra food does not add any more
health, but will still make your Neopet gain weight! Extra treats will add 10
Happiness points but will also add more weight, which will make he/she
lose 30 Health points.
• Tip: If you feed your Neopet after Hint time, you only get half the points.
• Tip: If you do not feed your Neopet at all, he/she will lose 40 Health points
and 30 Happiness points, and will lose weight.
BURLAP SACK
This is where all the Items you have purchased are stored while you are not
using them. You will be able to view all of your Items that have been saved.
The sack will hold a maximum of 10 Items at a time. If you buy an Item, it will
remain in the sack until you use it.
To use an Item in your sack: Use the TWIST CONTROLLER to scroll UP and
DOWN through the Items and click ENTER. You will be asked "DO YOU
WANT TO PLAY THIS?" or "FEED NOW?" and given two options: "YES" or
"NO." Highlight your selection and click ENTER. If the sack gets too full, you
will have to discard one of those Items that are not absolutely necessary.
SHOPPING
In addition to being fun for your Neopet, shopping is essential for your
Neopet’s health, wellbeing, and personality. There are three shops you can
visit in this game: the Food Shop, Toy Shop and the Petpet Shop. Each shop
contains different Items that vary every time you enter, as well as by
price (Neopoints).
Enter the Shopping mode and scroll through the different shop names. When
you have decided which shop you want to go into, click ENTER.
FOOD SHOP
When you choose the Food Shop, a list of various foods available for you to
purchase and their cost in Neopoints will be displayed. Use the TWIST
CONTROLLER to scroll UP and DOWN to choose an Item that you want to
buy, and click ENTER. The screen will say "BUY NOW?" Click ENTER to
confirm your selection. The screen will then say "FOOD HAS BEEN
PLACED IN YOUR BAG."
TOY SHOP
When you choose the Toy Shop, a list of toys available to purchase will be
displayed. There will be three toys to choose from per day, all at different
prices. When you choose the name of the toy you want, use the TWIST
CONTROLLER to scroll UP and DOWN, click ENTER and you will see the
price of the toy you selected in Neopoints (NP). You will then be asked "BUY
NOW?" Click ENTER to confirm your selection. To play with your toy, select
the Burlap Sack, and select the toy that you want your Neopet to play with.
The image of the toy will flash alternatively with a 1, 2 or 3 depending on
how many times the toy has been played with.
NOTE: Toys will disappear after being used three times so that you can buy
more toys for your Neopet.
PETPET SHOP
When you choose the Petpet™ Shop, a list of various Petpets available
for you to purchase will be displayed. Use the TWIST CONTROLLER to
scroll UP and DOWN to browse the selection and click ENTER. The screen
will say "BUY NOW?" Click ENTER to confirm your selection. Once you
have purchased a Petpet you will see an image of it and then the text:
"PETPET HAS BEEN PLACED IN YOUR BAG."
To play with your Petpet, select the Burlap Sack icon and scroll through the
contents.
NOTE: If you do not have enough Neopoints in the Bank to purchase Items,
the logo will flash and you will hear a warning sound.
HOSPITAL
This is the place to visit if your Neopet is sick. Enter into the Hospital, and if
your Neopet is sick a message will appear with a prognosis of what your
Neopet’s ailment is. A message will then appear telling you what type of
medicine your Neopet needs to feel better, and its price in Neopoints. You
will be asked if you want to buy the medicine, "YES" or "NO." If you select
"YES," the medicine will be given to your Neopet immediately and you can
consider him/her cured. Please note that you will lose Neopoints for every
day your Neopet is left untreated. On the contrary, if you try to enter the
hospital when your pet is healthy, you will be given the all clear and
automatically sent back to normal mode.
GAMES
There are six different games to play, all with three levels of difficulty
(Easy, Medium and Hard).

up… you never know what will happen!

heavy and will squash you flat!
