Getting Rid of Enemy Scouts

The scouts won’t always be in places where 
they’re easy to fi nd. Sometimes they’ll be 
hiding in the most unexpected spots. So 
be sure to check out anything the least bit 
suspicious you see on the screen. 

Paying Attention to Time

There’s a time limit for fl ushing out the 
enemy scouts. You can always see how 
much time you have left by looking 
at the on-screen clock. If you’re still 
hunting when your time is up, the game 
is over, so be sure to watch your time 
closely! And by the way, for each enemy 
scout you fl ush out, you gain a little bit 
of extra time on the clock.

We Found an Enemy Scout!

We searched all around the kid’s room, being very careful not to make 

any noise. I was really beginning to wonder where the intruders could 
be hiding. But all of a sudden, we saw a dark shadow under the table. 
Hey! An intruder! What now?! We just checked him out, and as soon 

as he realized we’d seen him he went scurrying away. 
Whew! What a relief!

The Wastebasket 

As we were making our way around the kid’s room, we 
came upon a wastebasket. It seemed like it could be an 
ideal hiding place, so I asked Brutus to check it out. Sure 
enough, he found an enemy scout inside. You just never 
know where they might be hiding. From now on I’m going 
to be sure to check out everything I see in the room.

When you think 
you’ve found an 
enemy scout, press 
the X button to 
switch to Check 
Mode. Use the 
left thumbstick 
to move the sight 
cursor over the suspected enemy scout. When 
the word “Check!” appears on screen, press A 
and the enemy scout is chased away! 

Checking Out Other Stuff

While in Search Phase, you can move or check out certain objects you fi nd on 
screen by issuing commands to your friends. Press the X button to make the 

cursor appear and then point it at an object. When 

you see “Check!” press the A button. Sometimes, it’ll 

take more than one friend to examine the object. 
Look for the number in the pink balloon to see how 

many friends you’ll need. Then choose each friend 

by selecting their picture and pressing the A button. 
When you’ve fi nished choosing, press A again for 

“OK” and watch them jump into action!

Collecting Items

There are many different hidden items 
for you to fi nd. Make sure you always 
check out certain things you come 
across in the house or around town. 
Collect candy to earn points which will 
also improve your Stage Grade.
