Marvel Land

Once a happy and exciting amusement park under the reign of good King Coni; now a cruel and twisted maze of evil dangers. King Coni lived in a time when magic was a part of everyday life. He was a benevolent leader and cared for all the creatures in his kingdom. As time passed, his subjects built a vast amusement park in his honor.

The king, touched by this unselfish display of tribute, decided to preserve the park for generations to come. King Coni held court with Princess Wondra of the Fairie Kingdom. He asked her for her assistance in protecting the park. She offered to provide four of her most trusted Fairies to guard each area of Marvel Land: Flower Land, Prairie Land, Sweets Land and Ice Land.

The king decreed the park to be open to all subjects of the realm. For many years, the kingdom lived in harmony and prospered. However, King Coni was getting older and there was no known heir to ensure the kingdom's prosperity. Before the king could appoint a successor, he passed away. Things stayed peaceful for some time, but the evil forces grew stronger without a king on the throne. One day, the power-hungry Mole, leader of the underworld, took control of Marvel Land and imprisoned the Fairies, including Princess Wondra. He bent their powers to his evil will and turned Marvel Land into his wicked kingdom.

• TIP: Time warps move you forward and backward. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!

All was thought lost. One Fairie escaped his clutches, however, and sought out the long lost cousin to King Coni. She went to the farthest reaches of the kingdom in search of Prince Talmit, last of the Coni line.

As Prince Talmit, your adventure begins by transiting through each of the four areas of Marvel Land. When you've reached the end of each area, you will have to face and defeat one of evil King Mole's henchmen. Once defeated, the Fairie imprisoned there will be freed and present you with a magical item. As you progress through all four lands, you will have attained the magical items needed to defeat King Mole and his army.

Be careful. Although it may sound easy to accomplish, each area has numerous pitfalls. There is help along the way, as well as time warps, to I assist you in achieving your goal. You will also find useful weapons. Use them to your best advantage.

• TIP: Time your jumps well. The enemy moves are regimented. Also, use your weapons sparingly.

• TIP: When using your Spirit Tail, you may uncover help within the walls themselves. It can also be used to swing great distances.
