Story

* This is the Fairy Forest, where Fairies reside deep within. It's said that anyone who glances at them will be brought happiness. One day, Mario arrived at the forest in search of the legendary fairies.

Accompanying him are Peach, Yoshi and Luigi...well, as you might expect, Luigi disappeared from sight. The three split up, in search of the missing Luigi.

Hey, there’s a strange engine sound up in the air. What could it be? Riding his beloved "Bulldog", Wario appears and tosses a package from the sky. "Er, Umph!"

Yikes, a bucket landed right over Mario's head! "Waaa, I can't see a single thing!"

Watching all of this is Wanda the Forest Fairy. Wanting to somehow lend Mario a hand, the small fairy lacked the power to remove the bucket. Therefore, Wanda uses her magic wand to conduct Mario, directing him towards Luigi...

1 How to use the mouse

The 'Mario & Wario' software exclusively uses the Super Famicom Mouse. The game is played by using the mouse to control Wanda the Fairy.

For a detailed instructions on the Super Famicom Mouse, please refer to the Super Famicom Mouse Instruction and Handling Booklet.

Moving the mouse...maneuver Wanda the Fairy

If the mouse is moved, Wanda the Fairy's movements will coincide with it.

Clicking the left button...use the magic wand

If you use the magical stick that Wanda the Fairy holds, you can perform the three actions listed below.

1. Change the direction of Mario and friends.

2. Place and erase blocks.

3. Hit enemies.

To use the magic wand, place the wand's point where you'd like to perform an action and click the left button.

Click the right button...pause the game

By clicking the right button, the game can be paused. Furthermore, if you move the mouse while the game is paused, the screen will match the movement, allowing sections you haven't yet seen to become visible.

2 Before Beginning The Game

Please make sure the cassette is properly inserted into the Super Famicom system. By pressing the power switch on, the title screen will appear.

CHARACTER SELECT

At the title screen, by pressing either the left or right mouse button, the character select screen will appear. At the character select screen, between Mario, Peach or Yoshi you can choose your favorite character. After placing the fairy over your character of choice, please press the left button.

Princess Peach

Since her walking speed is the slowest of the 3 characters, she would be suited for people who wish to slowly plan their route to the goal.

Mario

A balanced character, with average walking speed. For players just starting the game, we especially recommended him.

Yoshi

He's proud to have the fastest feet. A good choice for those who've become skilled at the game and wish to quickly reach the goal.

(5)

Changing the mouse speed

At the character select screen, the mouse speed (quickness of the fairy's movements) can be selected. After switching from low or high for the fairy, please click the left mouse button. However, during the game's opening period, the mouse speed will be set to low. Please change the mouse speed before deciding on your character.

LEVEL SELECT

Once you've decided on a character, the level select screen will appear. Eight locations, Levels 1 through  8 will be displayed, any of which may be selected. After moving the fairy over the level you wish to play, please click the left button. If level 8 is cleared. 9 will appear. Clear 9 to make the final stage, level 10 show up.

Re-selecting a character

The player's chosen character will walk below the sign on the player select screen. Here, by bringing the fairy to the character and clicking the left button, you're able to return to the character select screen.

3 How to play the game...

After deciding on a level from the level select screen, a demo screen will appear, continuing into the game screen. By clicking the left button, the game will begin.

Object of the game.

Once the game has started, you'll direct the walking of Mario & friends, as their heads are covered by buckets. Please skillfully control Wanda the Fairy and direct them to the goal, where Luigi awaits. Of course, throughout the level there are enemies, obstacles and various traps. If you clear them and reach the goal within the allotted time, you'll be able to advance to the next screen.

*Game Over

5 An introduction to each stage

Level 1 * Fairy Forest

This is the forest in which Mario and friends first stumbled into. Since each level of the map is small (divided into 1 screen), this is a good stage to get familiar with the mouse controls.

Level 2 * Yosu (Yoshi) Lake

The lake where Yoshi is rumored to have born. All along this maze are jump blocks which hinder you.

Level 3 * Kumotori (Grab the Cloud) Mountain

Kumotori Mountain is so high, it appears as if you can reach the sky’s clouds with your hand. There are rows of 'Time Blocks' to deal with by activating them one by one in a line (in order to pass).

Level 4 * Cave of Ice

A dark, freezing cave of ice. The 'Kumorin' that have settled on the cave’s ceiling will attack if approached.

(13)

Level 5 * Cave of Flames

A cave of simmering lava and boiling hot flames. Take special care when circling around and touching the blocks.

Level 6 * Bubbling Sea

The bottom of the ocean is full of switch blocks. You can utilize the timing of their appearances and disappearances as a road.

Level 7 * Balloon Bridge

Up in the air are 'Balloon Blocks' which inflate and deflate. Judge the timing of when the blocks inflate to cross over.

Level 8 * Dried Desert

In the Dried Desert, the bright red cannons (Tsubons) appear, shooting their balls of fire. Be careful not to get burned!

(14)

Level 9 * Wario's Garden

Clearing Level 8 will make a special screen appear. All of the various traps you've seen are now ‘On Parade’. This place will test your skill.

Level 10 * Wario Mansion

At last, the final level. Being Wario's Mansion, traps are to be found everywhere. Even though it's quite difficult, don't get discouraged!

*If you get a Game Over within levels 9 to 10, you'll continue from level 9-1.

6 Advice from the Fairy

Finally, here's some advice from the Fairy, Wanda. She'll show you some techniques that are useful to know.

*If getting on an elevator...

If you get on the elevator, you'll have to wait until you reach the top. However, so as not to be rushed, you can always re-consider if you should have boarded. Even while you're on the elevator, you can use the magic stick to change which direction the character's facing (towards the destination or starting point).

*How high can you leap on the jump blocks?

The leaping height for jump blocks is four spaces for large blocks and eight spaces for small blocks. They'll definitely help you out in mazes.

* Happily scoring points in out of the way places.

Besides just defeating enemies and getting to the goal, you can increase your points in out of the way places. For example, while blocks are appearing and disappearing, also touch a star with your magic wand...try out various other things, too.

* What about when you can't reach an area you'd like to visit?

Even though you can see a star, you may have no idea how to get over to it. In that case, try searching whether there are  hidden blocks. If you use your magic wand, hidden blocks will appear.

*Habits of the Kumorin you'll want to know.

If an enemy attacks, you don't have to go after them. You'd be wise to skillfully dodge them. Although you may think the Komorin will (want to continue) chasing you, if there's sufficient space behind you, they'll stop. It’s a trick allowing you to escape.
