(4) GETTING STARTED
CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of Ms. Pac-Man(tm)! This sensational
arcade hit is ready for play on your Super NES!
Ms. Pac-Man gets to run around in 36 unique, mind-boggling mazes, sone
small enough to fit on one screen; some so big you'll have to scroll
around; some that are mighty strange; and some that are straight out of
the arcades!
Whether you're a beginner or expert, Ms Pac-Man(tm) will have you running
ragged. There's even a Pac Booster Button to really let her shake-off
those pesky ghosts.
Play Ms. Pac-Man(tm) by yourself or take turns with a friend. Better yet,
two can play at the same time: one as the divine Ms. Pac-Man(tm); the
other, as the original Pac-Man(tm)!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) GAME PLAY
Ms. Pac-Man(tm) is for one or two players.
Use the Control Pad to maneuver Ms. Pac-Man(tm) around the maze.
A and B are used to control the Pac Booster, if it is turned on.
START pauses the game. When paused, the word "PAUSE" will appear in the
ghost box. You can then perform the following special function:
Press Up on the Control Pad to view the dots and ghosts at the top of
the playfield. Press Down on the Control Pad to view the bottom of the
playfield.

(7) GAME OPTIONS
To get to the Option Screen, press START. Select game options using the
Control Pad. To change option settings, use A or B. Here are all the
options:
GAME TYPE
1 PLAYER:
You are on your own as Ms. Pac-Man(tm).
2 PLAYER ALTERNATING:
You and a friend take turns as Ms. Pac-Man(tm).
2 PLAYER COMPETITIVE:
You and a friend can play at the same time. Player 1 is Ms. Pac-Man(tm),
Player 2 is Pac-Man(tm). When one player dies, both go back to the
starting point. If one player eats an energizer, the other becomes weak
and cannot eat dots or ghosts. To get back to normal right away, the
weakened player can wait until the opponent's energizer wears off or eat
another energizer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(8) GAME OPTIONS
2 PLAYER COOPERATIVE:
Same as competitive, except you cannot become weak and a total score is
displayed.
NOTE: When Pac-Man(tm) and Ms. Pac-Man(tm) bounce into one another, they get
sent off in the opposite direction at high speed until they hit a wall!
GAME DIFFICULTY
NORMAL, EASY, HARD and CRAZY: Controls the speed of the players and the
speed of the ghosts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9) GAME OPTIONS
PAC BOOSTER
Gives you extra speed to outrun those pesky ghosts! Speed streaks are
displayed behind Ms. Pac-Man(tm) and Pac-Man(tm) when the Pac Booster is
turned on.
OFF: No Pac Booster.
USE A or B: With this option you can press the A Button to turn on the
Pac Booster and then press the A Button again, to turn it off. Or, hold
down the B Button as you need it!
ALWAYS ON: The Pac Booster is always on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(10) GAME OPTIONS
MAZE SELECTION
ARCADE: Four mazes from the original arcade game.
MINI: Smaller mazes to cut down on vertical scrolling.
BIG: Extra big mazes.
STRANGE: Many different mazes; some are really strange!
There are 36 entirely different mazes in the game. Can you find them
all?
STARTING LEVEL
Allows you to begin on any level from one through seven. On the higher
levels, the ghosts move faster and you will see new mazes!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(11) SCORING
EXTRA LIVES
You get an extra life at 10,000 points. Additional extra lives are
available at 50,000, 100,000 and 300,000 points, but only if you select
the mini, big or strange mazes.
FRUITS
Eat the bouncing fruits for bonus points. If you select the strange
mazes, strange fruits will appear starting at level 8. Some of these
aren't fruits at all, but they are worth big bonus points just the same!
