Battle  Phase

If the Enemy Wins...

I don’t like to think about it any more than I 
have to, but sometimes the enemy beats us 
in battle. What happens in cases like that? 
Here are the two possibilities, depending 
on who it is that bites the dust:

What ARE Stage Grades?

Each time you win a battle, fi nish a level, or when 
you fi nish the game you get graded on your 
gameplay. The grades range from A to E, and 
here’s what counts in fi guring the grades, 
along with what each grade means.

What counts toward your grade:

• How long it took you to clear the stage
• How many enemies you defeated
• The number of items you collected
• The number of friendly mice still with you

The Unknown Enemies to Come...

This is the end of my diary. What’s that? You say you want to know 
what happens next? Well that, I’m afraid, is a secret. You’ll just have 
to play the game and find out for yourself. But one thing I can 
tell you for sure is that you’re going to meet lots of new enemies 
along the way. (All right, you twisted my arm. I’ll let you see just 
the silhouette of one of them here. Who could this ferocious figure 
be?) Your adventure has only begun!

Mice of Different Talents

Each of my mouse friends is a unique individual, but it’s 
good to know that I can count on everyone to always give 
their best. Even though we don’t all have the same 
attack strength or quickness of foot, it’s by working 
together to make up for each other’s weaknesses that 
we can keep forging ahead. 
Also, new friends will be joining us at the end of the stage. 
That means our troop of adventurers will grow as the game 
progresses. There are times when friends get separated from 
us, too, and we have to go and find them.

 

If it’s Me (Apollo) 

When I’m the one who gets beat, 
you can still keep on playing as 
long as I have some lives left  
(the hearts are shown on the 
Continue screen or Stage Map 
screen). When my hearts are 
gone, it’s Game Over.

If it’s Another 
Friendly Mouse

When another friendly mouse 
gets beat, you can continue 
playing without that mouse. It 
won’t be easy. It just goes to show 
how important it is to look out 
for your friends.

On to a Boss Battle!

A boss battle awaits at the end of each 
stage (after you’ve defeated all of the other 
enemy squads for that stage). The bosses 
are all crafty devils, and you can bet they’re 
not going to be pushovers. So be ready for 
anything when you face off with them!

Rank

What it means

A

Perfect! A true mouse among mice!

B

Great! Be proud to show your face anywhere!

C

Nice! A job well done by a very fi ne mouse.

D

Fair. A little more practice and you’ll be great!

E

OK. You gave it a good shot! Let’s try again!
