Connect to the TV

The AV cable that is attached to your game unit has a yellow, a red and
a white input. This cable needs to be plugged into your TV or VCR/DVD
player. Plug the yellow input into the yellow outlined “Video In” hole on
your TV or VCR/ DVD player. Plug the white and red inputs into the
white and red outlined “Audio In” holes on your TV or VCR/DVD player.

Depending on the type of TV or VCR/DVD you have, the video and
audio inputs could be in different places however they are usually in the
front or the back of your TV, VCR or DVD.

If you are plugging your game unit into your VCR or DVD player, your
VCR or DVD player needs to be turned on or your game unit will not

If you are going to connect your game unit directly to your TV and there
is a cable box connected to your television, you will need to access the

your television’s original remote to access the menu. If you do not have
the original remote refer to your TV’s owner’s manual for instructions on
how to do this without the remote control.

If you have an older TV set that does not have audio or video inputs you will need to purchase a “RF Modulator”.

Introduction – Animals Everywhere!

A storm has swept over the beautiful coastal village and nature preserve of Green Arbor Park. Many pets and farm
animals have run away and young wild animals have been separated from their mothers during the rainy weather.
Even some of the exotic animals from the Island Reserve have gotten loose.

Luckily, right in the center of Green Arbor Park is the Pet Rescue Center where Barbie® works. Together, you and
Barbie® have the tools and knowledge to rescue these animals, nurse them back to health and return them to their
homes. Join Barbie® on exciting rescue missions, play games with the animals you rescue, and care for them at
the Pet Rescue Center (PRC) as you would your own real pets. Have fun and learn all about the different animals
while doing good deeds. They’re counting on you, and Barbie® is ready to go with you on each mission!

Object of the Game

If you rescue all fourteen animals, nurture them back to health and happiness through consistent care, and
successfully return them to their homes, you win the game!

Hint: At times you will be caring for many animals at the PRC, while still trying to
rescue more. The challenge is to divide your time between all the animals so they all get
enough attention. Otherwise, the animals might run away from the PRC and you’ll have
to rescue them all over again!

Getting Started

Turn the power on. After a short introduction, the Barbie® TM'd title screen appears. Here, you can choose to
begin a new game or resume a previously saved game. To Start a new game select “New Game” with the Control
Pad and press the ‘A’ Button.

If you select “Option”, you will be able to turn off music and sound effects, practice Special Rescues and Care
Games.

To resume playing a previously saved game, select “Password” and enter the 16 symbol password you receive
when you pause a game. Remember to write down the password you receive so you can continue playing with all
the animals you’ve already rescued.

If you want to stop your game and don’t want to lose all the progress you’ve made you’ll need to get a password. To

get your “Password” you must return to the office and press the start button. Be sure to write down the
password so you don’t forget it.

When you restart the game select “Password” on the menu screen and enter your 16-symbol password. Press the
“A” button to go to your saved game.

Quit and Restart

Use the On/Off (1/0) switch to quit or reset/re-start the game at any time.

Welcome to the Pet Rescue Center. This is the Office where Barbie® receives phone calls of rescue missions and
where the certificates of completed rescues are displayed. The small flashing symbols on the left side of your
screen are your choices of places to go within the game. Select a symbol using the Control Pad Up/Down, then
press the ‘A’ Button.

animals.

into Green Arbor Park in search of the lost animal.

Rescues

To start rescuing animals, choose the phone symbol and press the ‘A’ Button.

Barbie® will answer a rescue call and the truck symbol will turn green. Choose the truck symbol, press the ‘A’
Button, and off you go.

Driving Adventures

There are four areas in Green Arbor Park to explore with Barbie® to find the missing animals: Briar Farm, Cedar
Estate, The Island Reserve and Primrose Forest. The path to each area has its own obstacles and hazards to
overcome. Once you accept a rescue mission, you will travel with Barbie® to the area where the animal was last seen.
Barbie® has all the right vehicles – a convertible, pick-up truck, motorboat and scooter – to weave her way through the
environments, but she needs you to guide her on these adventure rides. If the vehicle hits an obstacle, you will lose
one try. You have three tries in each driving adventure.

Use the Control Pad to move the vehicle around obstacles. The control Pad Up/Down steers the vehicle. Use the
Control Pad Left to brake and the Control Pad Right to speed up.

Press and release the ‘A’ Button to jump over the obstacles with the vehicles.

If Barbie® runs into too many obstacles, you won’t make it to the rescue site. You can try a different rescue by
answering another phone call. Hang in there, you’ll get that pet!

Hint: Pressing the Control Pad Left while on the ground will slow the vehicle down so you
can see on-coming obstacles.

Pressing the Control Pad Right while jumping will help you make bigger jumps!

The paw prints on the bottom of the screen show how close you are to the finish.

The hearts show how many tries you have left.

Search For The Animals

Excellent driving! Now that you’ve made it to the rescue site, you must guide Barbie® along on foot to find the lost
animal. Use the Control Pad to walk through three different screens in each area of Green Arbor to find the lost
animal. Once you find the animal, have Barbie® pick it up using the Control Pad Down to complete the rescue.

Congratulations! Now, will take the animal back to the PRC for some much-needed care and attention. You’ve
found the animal, but the job isn’t done yet. The animal is your responsibility now. You must nurture it back to
health and happiness little by little before you can return it home.

After picking up the animal, you will select a Pet Record screen which gives you more information about the animal
including its name and description of the condition in which it was found. These records will help you figure out
how to care for the animals.

The animals you may encounter are:

Pets – Puppy, Orange Tabby Cat, Grey Kitten, Tortoise

Farm Animals – Pony, Piglet, Bunny Rabbit

Wildlife – Fox Cub, Bear Cub, Owl, Deer

Zoo Animals – Koala Bear, Lion Cub, Penguin

Special Rescues

Every so often, a surprise rescue will come up that needs your immediate attention. You’ll be sent automatically to
the area where an animal needs your help. You must win a game to complete the rescue.

“Owl Photo Safari”

Patty, the owl, has escaped from Primrose Forest and flown into the city. Help Barbie® find her by taking pictures
of the flying owls.

Your camera is at the bottom of the screen. Move it left, right, up or down using the Control Pad. Take the photo
by pressing the ‘A’ or ‘B’ Button.

Hint: Your camera’s flash must touch the owls when you take the picture. You can only
miss the owls 3 times or you will have to try this rescue again.

“Penguin’s Ice Cream Craze”

Meredith, the penguin, has gotten loose from the zoo and has hidden in the coldest place she could find: an ice cream
truck! Use the paddle and ball to break the ice blocks and free her from the ice barrier before she eats all the ice
cream. You have 3 balls to win the game. Each time you lose a ball, one of Meredith’s ice cream cones will disappear.

“Puppy Apple Turnover”

Ginger, the puppy, has gotten into the apple orchard! Help keep her out of trouble by moving the basket to catch the
falling apples. Use the Control Pad to move the basket around the screen. At first, you will only need to catch 10
apples, but you’ll have to catch more each time you win the game. If you miss an apple, you lose a try. You will have
three tries in each game.
