About this game
The prince’s route is shaped by more than ordinary jumping. Grow a vine to raise him, attack from that position or jump toward a place that was out of reach. Sliding provides a separate way into narrow spaces. Rings collected during action can be spent at shops on items and recovery. Bonus Island uses board-game movement with quizzes and other events. Passwords shown before action stages let you continue later. This overview follows the Japanese Famicom manual and does not describe regional quiz changes.
