Getting StartedStory

Charlotte’s Web™ is the story of a spring pig named
Wilbur who had little chance of seeing the snows of winter.
You see, Wilbur was born the runt of the litter. Since this
little pig was not able to fend for himself, he was given to a
young girl named Fern by her father, Mr. Arable.

Raised on the Zuckerman farm, Wilbur comes to find
out he is destined to become a holiday ham. Luckily,
Wilbur’s charming personality lands him the friendship of
all the animals in Zuckerman’s barn. One particular friend,
Charlotte the spider, decides to try and save the little pig’s
life by letting everyone know he’s “Some Pig.”

This is Wilbur’s grand adventure.

Nintendo® Game Boy® Advance. Never insert or
remove a Game Pak when the power is on.

2. Insert the Game Pak of Charlotte’s Web into
the Game Pak Slot on the Nintendo® Game Boy®
Advance.

3. Turn on the Power Switch. The Game Boy Advance menu screen will appear (if you don’t

CharactersCharacters

Wilbur

Wilbur comes into the barn a kind and naive pig. His youth allows
him to observe the world through innocent eyes. His kindness and
innocence allows him to make friends with the other animals, namely
Charlotte and Templeton. Eventually, Wilbur wins the hearts of the

other animals and brings the barn
together as a family.

Charlotte

Despite her somewhat frightening appearance, Charlotte is a
thoughtful, caring, and intelligent creature. She understands the
natural order of the world around her and is devoted to helping
keep Wilbur stay safe on the farm.

Templeton

Templeton is everything that you would come to expect from a rat. He is
always hungry, self involved, and usually only looking out for himself. Although
he is a “rat” through and through, like many of the animals in the barn, Wil­bur helps him discover a more compassionate side to his character.

Fern

Hint!

Jump and pull ropes that are
connected to pulleys to move
obstacles out of Wilbur’s way.

Fern is the kind farm girl
who saves Wilbur at the
beginning of the story. She is very sweet and pre­fers the company of the barnyard animals to that
of her schoolmates. Fern loves Wilbur very much
and is always there to take care of him when he
needs her most.
