Search  Phase

Using the Stage Map

As you move around from place to place, you might sometimes feel like 
you’re lost. If that happens, just press the Y button to display the Stage Map. 
The map allows you to see at a glance exactly what room you’re in. 

The map  also shows you how many enemy scouts are left in each squad in 
the stage. The squads are different colors so you can tell them apart. When 
you spot a scout, note what color the hat is because the Stage Map will show 
how many rats are left in that squad. When all the scouts are eliminated from 
a squad, the room where the squad battle will take place begins fl ashing. 
When you defeat the squad, the icon representing the squad is crossed out 
on the map. 

Using the Pause Menu

You may want to pause the game to give 
yourself some time to review the tips and 
tricks in this manual or even to take a 
break! To do this, press the START button. 
The game pauses and the Pause menu 
appears. Here you can quit the game, load 
a different game, return to the Main screen 
to save your game, or simply leave the 
game paused. 

Caution Signs

A yellow caution sign may stop your progress 
as you move around. This means you need to 
overcome an obstacle before you can continue. 
For example, you may need to move a stuffed 
animal aside or perform some other task. But 
don’t worry, you can get your friends to help you! 
Press the X button to check the obstacle 
and then select the friends you want to act on it.

Stop Signs

As you explore, you may come across a red 
stop sign. This means you can’t go any further; 
you’ll have to fi nd another way past that 
point.

Find the Candy!!

Next we went searching for enemy scouts in the kitchen, and a large 
vase on the floor caught my eye. “That’s just the sort of place where 

the enemy might hide,” I thought, and so I asked Pete to check it out. 

I watched nervously as he looked inside, but all he found was 
some yummy candy. Be sure to search every object you can for 

hidden candy!

Climb the Wall!!

In the kitchen, we came to a gigantic piece of furniture. It was like a wall, but 
I thought maybe we could climb it, so we took a running start and jumped 
with all our might. We did it! We got up to the top! And once we were there, 
we discovered a hole in the wall—a secret passageway to the next room. This 
is my own house, but I still learn something new every day!
