The hero from Pirate Ship named Kevin must now pilot his own sailing vessel around the ocean surrounding seven islands. His goal is to find the greatest treasure. He must collect the keys which open the dock gates to each of the islands by invading several pirate ships and defeating the captain on board in combat. Once Kevin has collect a key from a pirate ship, he must then sail around the islands in search of the correct dock gate which the key corresponds to. Once there, the player embarks on an exploration of the island to find items, defeat a boss, and collect treasures before heading off in search of another island key. [Controls] • D-Pad: Use the control pad to move Kevin or the ship in any of the four cardinal directions. Kevin or the ship will continue to move in that direction as long as nothing is blocking their path. • A button: Speed up the ship while sailing. Make Kevin jump while controlling him. • B button: Press the B button to make Kevin pick up a rock or barrel that he is standing in front of when he is not holding anything in his hands. Press the B button again to throw the object in the direction that he is facing. No use when piloting the ship. • Start: Start a new game, and to pause the action mid-game. • Select: Call up the subscreen, which can only be seen when not piloting the ship. [Player] When Kevin piloting his ship around the ocean, you can navigate to any location within a square perimeter. If you attempt to sail too far outside that limit, your ship will begin to slow, and eventually come to a stop. The word "STOP" will appear on the screen to indicate that you may not travel any further in that direction. Kevin will disembark from his ship when he encounters another ship at sea, or when he visits the dock gate of an island for which he has already collected the key. Once he is walking around, he can jump, and he is vulnerable to attack. Kevin has a collection of life points whose current total can be seen in the upper left hand corner of the screen. These points double as a score, and increase every time Kevin successfully attacks enemies with an object. Whenever one enemy is struck, Kevin gains 10 points. If a second enemy is struck by the same object, Kevin earns 20 points, and if a third enemy is struck, he gains 40, and so on. Fruit or POW icons will also increase Kevin's health. Kevin will die if his life points reach 0. [Items] Tablets~ Three tablets are required in order to read the transcriptions present on the door to Baido's treasure. Without them, you will not be able to open the door. Two of them are guarded by island bosses, but you cannot obtain the third on any island. You must find another means to collect it. Crystals~ There are three crystals hidden on three of the islands. If you manage to find and collect all three, you will be treated to the best ending in the game upon finding Baido's treasure. Misc~ Lamp: One of the islands is sealed by a magic spell which can only be broken by lighting candles on another island. You'll need the lamp to light them. Chart: The monoliths found on various islands are written in an old language. You'll need the chart in order to translate what's written on them in order to divine their secrets. Map: The map will show you the layout of the islands as they appear on the ocean. You receive it a bit late in the game, but it can still help you navigate quite a bit. You can't use it while sailing around. Baido's Tear: This mysterious object is also required to open Baido's treasure. Someone on J.Knife Island may know where is it. Satan Sword: This is a weapon of unbelievable power. It can instantly defeat leaders of evil. As such, it has been hidden and sealed away. The room where it is kept can only be entered under very special conditions, in order to keep those who would seek to use it for the wrong purposes away.
