CENTIPEDE® (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
You’re trapped in the perilous Enchanted Forest. Dark, dangerous mushrooms push up through the
forest floor, snaring you on every side. Threatening thumps and evil buzzings fill the air. Something
slippery flashes through the mushrooms, moving in on you. Suddenly, glaring eyes and quivering antennae
jump right out at you! It’s the Centipede — and it’s attacking!
Controls
Move the joystick handle forward/back, or press Select to choose a game variation: One Player;Two
Player Alternating; Dual Player Competition or Team Play. Move the joystick handle left/right to choose
one of the four difficulty levels: Novice, Standard, Advanced, and Expert. Press either fire button to start
the game.
Use the joystick handle to move your magic wand around the screen and press either fire button to fire
a powerful spark at the Centipede. Press and hold either fire button to rapid-fire and shoot continuous
sparks.
Sparking the Evil Insects
You start the game with three magic wands. Use each wand to spark the enemy and score points. If the
insect bites you, you become temporarily paralyzed and lose a wand.
The Centipede attacks from the top of the screen and winds down toward you. When you spark any
part of it with your wand, that segment becomes a mushroom, and the segment behind it becomes the head
of a new insect.
Mushrooms act like shields but can also speed the Centipede in its attack. It takes four hits to destroy a
mushroom entirely.
Trying to distract you from sparking the Centipede, the Spider jumps all over the Enchanted Forest,
eliminating every mushroom in its path. The closer the Spider comes to you, the more points you score
when you zap it.
The Flea starts bugging you after you shoot away most of the mushrooms near you at the bottom of
the screen. It drops straight down, creating mushrooms as it falls. You must hit the Flea twice to make it
disappear.
Beginning with the third wave, the Scorpion scurries across the middle of the Enchanted Forest,
poisoning every mushroom it touches. Poison mushrooms are a different color than the other mushrooms.
When the Centipede bumps into a poison mushroom, it goes crazy and plunges straight towards you.
