Come on, let's dance!

Hi! It's me, Barbie! And guess what? I'm having a dance party, and you're
invited! Anyone can dance at my dance party. All you have to do is pick a
song and follow my lead. It's easy and really, really fun! So come on! Let's
have a party…a dance party!

WARNING: EPILEPSY AND SEIZURES

READ BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BARBIE DANCE PARTY

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing
flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These
persons may experience seizures while watching TV pictures or
playing video games. Players who have not had any seizures
may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

Consult your physician before playing video games if you have
an epileptic condition or experience any of the following
symptoms while playing video games: altered vision, eye or
muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of
awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion and/or
convulsions.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS RECOMMENDED WHEN
INSTALLING BATTERIES.

AN ADULT IS NEEDED TO CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE
TV AND VCR.

SETTING UP

BATTERY INSTALLATION

On the back of the unit, loosen the screw on the battery compartment and
insert four (4) “AA” batteries as indicated inside the compartment (alkaline
batteries recommended). Replace the battery compartment door.

NOTE: Batteries in the unit should give you about 10 hours of game play (if
alkaline batteries are used). The game will not operate normally when the
batteries begin to run low. The screen may be blurred and resetting the game
may not work. Be sure to install fresh batteries.

TV CONNECTION

Note: To connect Barbie Dance Party directly to a TV, the TV must be

equiped with either audio and video jacks or a Scart connection. These are

commonly found on either the front of the TV near the contrast, colour and
picture adjustment controls or on the rear of the TV near the antenna near the
cable/satellite jacks.

If your TV has audio and video input jacks, insert the yellow video plug from
the Console into the video-in (Yellow) jack on your TV and the white audio
plug into the left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the TV to the appropriate
video input mode (see your TV's operating manual for details).

If you want to connect via the scart adaptor then plug the audio, video jacks
into the scart block provided and plug this unit into the back of the TV. Then
set the TV to the appropriate video input mode.

If your TV does not have audio and video input jacks, you may connect Barbie
Dance Party through a VCR connected to your TV.

CONNECTING TO A VCR

To connect Barbie Dance Party to your VCR, insert the yellow video plug
from the Console into the video-in (Yellow) jack on your VCR and the white
audio plug into the left audio-in (white) jack. Then set the VCR to the
appropriate video input mode (see your VCR's operating manual for details).

ADULT SUPERVISION IS NEEDED WHEN CONNECTING
CABLES TO A TV AND VCR.

SKILL LEVELS

Beside each song title is one, two, three, or four little Hearts. The number of
hearts indicate the skill level for the song. Choose whatever skill level you'd
like to dance to. One Heart is the easiest, and four Hearts is the hardest. But
don't worry, if you just follow my lead, we'll have a great time dancing, no
matter what skill level you decide on!

DANCING

As the song begins, you'll see me standing on a dance pad like yours. I'll do
a dance step and call out which colored flowers I'm stepping on. When I'm
done, it will be your turn to do the exact same move I just did. But don't
worry if you can't remember the exact same pattern I danced to.

HELPFUL HINT: If you can’t remember the exact pattern I did, the flowers
you need to step on will light up with a yellow border. When it lights up
yellow, step on that flower.

NOTE: It helps to keep your balance if you keep your feet in the center of the
mat when I am doing my moves. Then use your feet to step on the flowers.

DOUBLE MOVES

On some of the harder skill level songs, I'll sometimes tell you about a
"Double" move. This is where I jump on two flowers at the same time. This
can be really fun as you jump up and land on the same two colored flowers I
did!

SCORING

After the song is over, you will receive a score of one to ten hearts (ten being
the best score you can get). Your score will depend on how closely you
followed my dance steps. Your score will then be listed under each song title
you have danced to until the game is turned off. To see what you have
scored on previous songs, use the flowers to scroll to the Dance Now! Hi
Scores! menu screen and select Hi Scores! Keep practicing, and I'm sure
you'll be able to get ten hearts for every song in no time!
