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.

PORTS

There are five ports below the screen that allow rapid access into the game. Place the
bottom of your Neopet into the port for activation.

CHARACTER 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 press the and
buttons 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. Toys and Petpets affect 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 NeoPoints you need to obtain in order to win one of
four trophies, and also if you have won any of the four trophies. You will earn
NeoPoints from each game you win.

There are a total of four games where trophies can be earned: Ultimate
Bullseye, Yeasty Bread Tomato Toss, Turmac Roll, and Negg Drop. When a
trophy is attained by the efforts of the player, it is displayed on the screen.

In order to earn a trophy you must get a score higher than the goal score. The
goal score for each game is different. When a score is reached that beats the
goal score a new level will be unlocked and a trophy will be awarded. The goal
score breakdowns for each game are located in the game descriptions section.
When all trophies are won, a Rare Item Code™ will be released that, when
entered into the web site at www.neopets.com/code, will yield a special
online prize.

FOOD

You must remember to feed your Neopet three times a day. You must purchase
the food items from the food store, which will automatically store the items in
the 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 and keys, choose a food item from the list that you want to eat
and press ENTER. You will be asked "EAT 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: 7:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and
6:30 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 and keys buttons to toggle through
the items and press ENTER. You will be asked "DO YOU WANT TO PLAY
WITH THIS?" and given two options… "YES" or "NO." Highlight your selection
and press ENTER. If the sack gets too full, you will have to go in and use/eat/or
play with those items that are not absolutely necessary.

SHOPPING

In addition to being fun for your Neopet, shopping is essential for your Neopet’s
health, well-being 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 toggle through the different shop names. When
you have decided which shop you want to go into, press ENTER once until it is
highlighted.

Food Shop

When you choose the Food Shop, a list of various foods available for you
to purchase will be displayed and their cost in NeoPoints. Use the and
keys to choose a piece of food that you want to buy, and press ENTER.
The screen will then say "FOOD SAVED TO SACK."

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 and
keys for selection, press ENTER and you will see the price of the toy you
selected in NeoPoints (NP). You will then be asked "BUY NOW?" Press
ENTER to confirm your selection. To play with your toy, select the Burlap
Sack, and select the toy that you want 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 the player
has to buy more.

Petpet Shop

When you choose the Petpet™ Shop, a list of various Petpets are available
for you to purchase will be displayed. Use the and keys to browse the
selection and press ENTER to purchase. Once you have purchased a
Petpet you will see an image of it and then the text: "Petpet saved to sack."

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. Then, a message will appear that will tell 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.

GAMES

There are six different games to play with, each with three levels of difficulty
(Easy, Medium and Hard). You have to pay to play Kiss the Mortog and Turdle
Racing, but if you win, you also have the chance at winning a lot of NeoPoints!

ULTIMATE BULLSEYE [Trophy Game]

Remor the Turmac is an aspiring archer who could use a little help. Guide
Remor as he aims and fires his bow at the targets that appear on the right
hand side of the screen.

Use the and keys to control the height of his shots.
Press ENTER to control the power and fire the arrows.
If Remor hits the Bullseye, then the screen will show a target with a dot in

the middle.
If he hits the target, but misses the Bullseye, you will see a target without a dot.
If he misses the target, the screen will show two crossed arrows in the shape

of an "X".
Remor will get ten chances per round, and your total score will be based on

where his arrows land.
On his tenth shot, the opportunity for bonus targets will arise. If Remor gets a

Bullseye on his last shot, he’ll be rewarded with an extra target. From the tenth
frame on, each Bullseye will result in the addition of an extra shot at another
target.

Like the other trophy games, this game has three levels. You can access each
level by completing the goals. As the game gets more difficult, the power bar
moves increasingly faster. This makes it harder to fire an accurate shot.

KISS THE MORTOG

In this game of chance, you are presented with a choice of two Mortogs.
Depending on the Mortog that you choose to kiss, your Mortog will either
transform into a beautiful princess, or explode in a hideous mess, bringing the
game to an end. If you choose correctly and kiss the Mortog that becomes a
princess, you will then advance to the next round, where you’ll now choose
from three Mortogs. This sequence keeps repeating until you reach the final
round, where you have to choose from six Mortogs. If you can somehow
manage to find the princess, you’ll win a huge treasure of NeoPoints!

Use the and keys to select a Mortog.
Press ENTER once your selection has been made.
It will cost five NeoPoints to start the game. If you can choose correctly from

the first two Mortogs, you’ll receive ten NeoPoints. At this point, you can either
quit the game and collect your NeoPoints, or you can try to triple your winnings
by advancing to the next round and finding the princess among three more
Mortogs. If you guess incorrectly, you’ll lose all the winnings that you have
accumulated so far, including your original bet of five NeoPoints. As previously
mentioned, in the final round there are six Mortogs to select from, with a total
prize of 3,600 NeoPoints.

Score

Level 1 (2 Mortogs) : 10 NP
Level 2 (3 Mortogs) : 30 NP
Level 3 (4 Mortogs) : 120 NP

TURDLE RACING

Turdle Racing is an exciting, fast-paced game with a simple premise. Before
each race, you’ll be asked if you want to place a bet on one of the four Turdles
that are in the running. After selecting the one that you think will win, you can
bet anywhere between ten and three hundred NeoPoints. Once you’ve placed
your bet, the Four Turdles will line up and race from one edge of the track to
the other. If your Turdle wins the race, you’ll receive twice as many NeoPoints
as you originally wagered. However, if your Turdle loses, the amount that you
bet will be subtracted from your savings.

Level 4 (5 Mortogs) : 600 NP
Level 5 (6 Mortogs) : 3600 NP

NP Win = 2 x bet amount

YEASTY BREAD TOMATO TOSS [Trophy Game]

A Lupe named Rolland has been commissioned to keep up with the supply
and demand of a new dish in Meridell, Yeasty Bread and Tomatoes.
Unfortunately, it appears that he's ended up with quite a bit of overstock. In this
game, items will fly from the left of the screen. You control Rolland with the
DIRECTIONAL buttons. Jump, run, walk... do whatever you can, just don't let
any of his food go to waste! Each item eaten will vary in point value. Before you
play, there are a couple of things that you should know. If you run into a bomb,
it will explode. If you run into three bombs, then the game is over. There is also
a bonus system in place. For every fire ball you eat, you earn the ability to clear
the screen. This is accomplished by pressing the ENTER button. You can store
this ability if you like. To remind you that you've earned this bonus, there is a
gauge in the lower left of the screen. The gauge builds with every fire ball
eaten, and decreases after the bonus has been used. There you have it... time
to eat!

In this game you will encounter the following:

yeasty bread bomb fire ball

Score

Bread : 5 NP
Fish : 10 NP
Other items : 20 NP

Trophy

The number of bombs increases at higher levels.

NEGG DROP [Trophy Game]

Requiring both quick reflexes and an agile mind, Negg Drop can be a
challenging game at first… but it can also be very rewarding once you’ve
gotten the hang of it! Start off by selecting Negg Drop from the game menu,
then pressing DOWN & ENTER. You’ll see that a basket has appeared in the
lower center of the screen. That’s when you’ll notice a number of Burlap Sacks
(containing Neggs), which will soon begin falling from the sky (top of the
screen). Using the LEFT & RIGHT buttons, move the basket along the bottom
of the screen and catch the falling sacks. You have 60 seconds to catch as
many sacks as possible. There are three levels to this game: Easy, Medium
and Hard. The level of difficulty that you select will determine the value of the
Neggs that you catch. You’ll earn three NeoPoints per Negg on the Easy Level,
four NeoPoints per Negg on the Medium Level, and five NeoPoints per Negg
for selecting the Hard Level. However, be sure not to catch the black sacks.
Those are being dropped by the Pant Devil, who’ll steal all of your NeoPoints if
you catch one of his sacks. As you advance to the higher levels, the amount of
time that you have to catch Neggs will decrease from 60 to 50 to 40 seconds,
making the game even more challenging.

Score

Easy 3 NP Per Negg Caught
Medium 4 NP Per Negg Caught
Hard 5 NP Per Negg Caught

MAX SCORE : 9999 NP
