    Up arrow - start will restart your character at the level you were
    killed... 
    

    Thanks for the spoiler on the restart. I also love this game. The
    only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't know how to
    restart anywhere but 1-1.
    
    Again, thanks for the spoiler.........

    Would you guys reccomend this game as compared to SMB, or SMB2,
    or is this really just an immitation?
    
    Don

    probably about the same as Super Mario Brothers.
    It's about the same level of difficulty.  Although the farthest
    I've been able to get so far is to level 3-4.  Haven't found any
    way to get ahead yet (like going through a secret something and
    skipping from 4 to 6,7,8.
    
    
    I have SMB2, but haven't opened it yet.  

    More of the same *type* of game, but completely different in
    characters, monsters etc..
    
    

    Having trouble getting out of 1-4, can't get past the first Boss.
    Does anyone know how to get free Higgins's. Any help, or any
    spoilers would be appreciated.
    
    					Thanks in advance, Roland

    I don't remember if it's in 1-4 or 1-3, but a tough spot is a series
    of clouds over water. The clouds are moving down continuously.
    You have to jump, jump, jump up to the next cloud to avoid hitting
    the water.  Then jump to the right to get on the next solid cloud.
    
    I've made it to 6-1 so far.  Get's a little nutty by that time.
    
    

    I don't know if it's me or a bum cartridge but everytime I try
    continuing from where I was last killed, I just end up starting
    at the very beginning, 1-1. 
    
    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. When I die for the last time
    I press Up-arrow and then start. I then get the "start" screen and
    when I try the up-arrow start again, I start at 1-1.
    
    Also I've made it up to 2-1 when I do this.
    
    I'd really appreciate any help or specifics anyone can give me.
    
    Thanks and have a great "FIRST NIGHT"
    Scott

    .7....
    
    you have to press AND HOLD the up arrow, and the  press start.
    
    Not sure, but this might be what's going wrong.
    
    Lemme know what happens....

    Gil,
    
        I thought I did this, but maybe not. I'll give it a try tonight.
    Thanks.

    Has anyone seen this game in any stores in the southern NH area?
    I rented it this week at Main Dunstable Video, Nashua and my whole
    family enjoyed playing it.
    
    Thanx,
    Paula
    

    Paula,
    	If your family truly likes this game, I have it available for
    trade. If you want to suggest a trade, you can reach me at HOCUS::

Hi All...
I have been trying to use the "UP START" trick to restart the
game after dying but it doesn't seem to work.  I hold down the
"UP" arrow and the "START" button at the same time, but it 
still brings me back to the beginning.  

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks!

    Re: .12
    	I don't think you are doing anything wrong. It doesn't work
    for me either, and yes, I do it after killing the first boss.
    	Mich

    
      I have a few question for those whove been playing this game
    for awhile. How do you earn(build lives)? I just rented this the
    other night and the instructions are quite vague.
    
    Thanks,
          George

        
	I couldn't stand it anymore!  I called Hudson to find out the
continue sequence.  I really don't think that this is a spoiler because of the
difficulty of this game.

	In Area 1 Round 1 there is a Hudson bee you must get to enable the
continue sequence.  This bee is in an egg and it is on the edge of the cliff
when you can see the G near the end of the round.  There is a strawberry there
also.  Just stand near the edge and jump.

        I've made it to Area 6 Round 1.  Need a weapon to continue
from there.  I've also found an egg that had a little Higgins face on
it and when I got it I got an extra life.  I believe that this has
something to do with how many rings you get.  Also,  if you get 50,000
points you get an extra Higgins.

	Good Luck,
	Bob

    RE: -1
    
    Bob,
    
    Thanks for the tip on the restart.  I tried it last night and it
    works great!!
    
    
    Does anyone have any spoilers as to the locations of the
    eggplant?  I have come across one already.  Thanks!

    	Hi Ann,

	Hi Ann and Wayne,

	  There is an Eggplant egg in the ice land that you mentioned.  Have
you noticed that there is an egg just before you get to the one which is the
Eggplant egg?  There are others through the game.  I can't remember exactly
where they are but the one which sticks out in my mind now is the one at the
beginning of 6-1.  It's a tough one to get by without breaking.
	  Have either of you figured out the use of the Key?  I stumbled across
it by accident when I wasn't paying much attention to the play of the game.
Let me know if you get past 6-1.  Got to try again when I get a chance.

	Bob

    Bob,
    
    I think the key allows you to go to what we call "Free Fruit Land".
    After you get the key in the first iceland you jump on a girder;
    stay on the girder and it takes you up to get lots of fruit and
    extra points.  We have found four of these secret rooms so far 
    (we've only gotten to level 3-4 so far).
    
    Have you noticed that if you get to level 1-4 with one man that
    you get an extra (atta-boy) man from an egg?
    
    Enjoy!
    
    /Ann

re: .17
    
    Wayne,
    
    The eggplant you found is the same one we've found so far.  I dread
    the day I get to a higher (4+) level and stumble across another
    eggplant with my last man; at least I can use the restart feature
    now.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ann

    
    
    
    re: 19
    
    
    	Ann I must have missed a lot more than I thought.
    
    	You say there is a key to be found in the ice cave segment
    	that is used to enter a room with lots of fruit/points ????
    
    	I have not found this key yet nor have I found any other rooms
    	with fruit in them ....... care to help me out a little????
    
	(Possible spoiler to follow so I'lll try a form feed)
    
    	(can't get form feed to work....it is control L for form feed?)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    	Is the key for the rooms in the ice cave the egg before the
        eggplant,mentioned in the previous notes????
    
    	If you jump over the eggplant egg another egg appears
    	just before it,is this the egg with a key inside???
    
    
    	Also where do we find those other rooms you were talking
    	about with the fuit/points????
    
    	I haven't played in a while,and I've only got up to the 2nd
    	or 3rd level ?????   I can't remember it been awhile.
    
    	I will definatley start playing it more now that I have
    	more noters to enjoy the game with.
    
    
    
    	see ya' soon
    
    
    	Wayne.    	

RE: -1 & -2
  
    	Yes I have gone to the BONUS rooms where you need to jump on spring
boards and collect fruit.  These fruit are worth 500 points each.  I think they
fill you life up with energy also.

		****** Possible mild spoilers *******



				    The first one that I noticed is in the Ice
land just before you get to the number 3 of that round.  There is a platform
with an apple just above.  If you don't get the key,  the platform falls and
its difficult to jump to the other side and survive.  If you do get the key,
the platform quickly rises.  The first time I experienced this I thought that
I would be pushed from the platform and die when it rose so I got off as soon
as it started going up.  That's why I mentioned that I found what the key did
by mistake.  I wasn't paying attention once and didn't jump off the platform
when it rose quickly.  I found myself in this bonus room and knew what the key
was for since then.  You will most always find a platform  which rises to the
bonus room after finding one of these keys.  So be on the lookout for the key!
	My son is on school vacation this week and has been playing this game
off and on.  The weather has been lousy for there time off.  He told me that
he made it to level 8-1 yesterday!  He won't offer anymore information  other
than that he has made it that far.  I don't think I want any from him anyway.
I thought at first that this game would be impossible to beat.  I have some
hope now but I know that it will not be easy.
	Hope this helps all who are playing this game.

	Bob

BTW.  Wayne, if you are editing the fill in the note conference do a CTRL V
      and then a CTRL L to put in a form feed

    
    
    	Thanks for all the help about the bonus rooms.
    
    	I found the key and the bonus room in the ice room/area.
    	
    	I have got as far as 6-1 and its real tough!
    
    	I will try to form feed the next paragraph, it may contain spoilers
    
    
    
    
    	I need help getting past 6-1
    
    	It seems that every time I jump off the cliff's edge to the
        island to begin the game I hit the egg thats there and release
    	the eggplant inside.
    
    	I can make it to the very edge of ths egg 1 out of 3 times
    	but can only reach 6-2 then die because I loose 1 life to that
    	egg and loose another to get to 6-2 and loose my last life
    	getting thru 6-2.  Is there a way to aviod this egg on 6-1
    	every time so I can have 3 lives to work with to get pass 6-2?
    
    
    
    	Thanks
    
    
    	Wayne.

	Hi Wayne,

	  Although I have not made it past 6-1,  I can get past the eggplant
egg most every time.
			POSSIBLE MILD SPOILER

                         The trick is to double jump.  You need to use the B
button on the initial jump but not on the second jump.  The key to making it is
in your timing.  On the second jump you also need to use the right arrow on the
control pad so you won't hit the egg.  Give it a try and let me know how you
make out.

    Does anybody still play Adventure Island??
    
    We are up to 8-2 (haven't turned off the unit for about 3 months
    now but have gotten *thrown* back to the beginning about 10 times!)
    and we are stuck trying to get by the drop-away cloud with the
    incomming fish and bouncing red octapus!  I got by it once (beats
    the h*ll out of me how I did it!) and was killed in section 3 or
    4 on my last Higgins.  Has anybody figured out how to consistantly
    get by this (explatives deleted) fish???
    
    This is one addicting game!  The family loves watching while my
    wife (she seems to play the most) and I try to get through the game.
    My son used to play and has given up since level 5 (he still arm
    chair quarterbacks each screen).  We are using the Advantage stick
    and the "SLOW" feature so we have a fighting chance to work our
    way through each scene.
    
    For those who haven't seen this test of skill :
    
    Higgins (the main character) is on an island (possibly to save his
    girl friend, a popular quest in these games) and has to navigate
    his way through a number of nasties and obsticles while picking
    up "food" to keep up his strength.  The nasties include (in our
    terms, not character names):
    
    	spiders		racoons		bats		octapus
    	flying fish	pigs		snails		snakes
    	frogs		spinning "heads"		birds
    
    	and each level has a "boss" to knock off
    
    Obsticles include:
    
    	rolling rocks	rocks		floating platforms and clouds
    	fall-away platforms/clouds	icey sections	falling icicles
    	fires	
    
    There are numerous eggs which may be milk, weapons, or a nasty eggplant
    (Higgins' most unfavorite food).  There are also numerous hidden
    sections which give you a chance to pick up points and energy. 
    
    You start each session with three Higgins and get a free Higgins
    with each 50,000 points.  There are eight levels, each having 4
    areas, each having 4 sections.  Each area has a trophy for extra
    points based on your remaining energy at the end of the 4th section.
    
    Great game, we loved Zelda and Link.  This is sort of like SMB I.

    	My Daughter discovered something about this game the other day which
    I would like to share with you.  There's a way to tell which clouds
    move!

    	MOVING CLOUD SPOILER*************

    

    	If you look closely at the clouds you will see that the bottom of
    the cloud is a darker shade than the others.  Note that this different
    color will show up on all clouds which move,  not only the ones which
    fall!  Hope this helps!

      Does anyone know if there is a way to make it through 7-4 without
    any weapons???  It seems that if you leave 7-3 without a weapon or
    if you have a weapon and get killed in 7-4 before reaching the end
    there is no way to get through those hanging spiders.  You know the
    ones that are after the spiders that go up one after the other and
    then comes the 4 groups of two.  The last group of two is totally
    impossible to get by. It's like the one going up and down doesn't go
    high enough to be able to jump through without losing a Higgins in the
    process. Seems like I've been stuck in 7-4 forever!!!!!!!
    Any spoilers welcomed!!!!!!
    Thanks,DAB

    try a momentum (sp?) jump.  There are two jumps, the hi jump which you
    do when you are "moving", and the low jump from a stand still.  you
    have to hi jump over the third spider and then low jump while your
    "slowing down".  I spent about 5 days on 7-4 and then discovered the
    momentum jump by mistake....I got killed by not jumping hi enough in
    the begining of 7-4.  Anyway, practice the jump at the beginning and
    check out the timing....*it*can*be*done*...good luck

    Spoiler wanted...
    
    Does anyone know of any short cuts or secret passages in Adventure
    Island similar to SMB's warp zones? Thanks in advance...
    
    Freddie

    Not to go from level to level....
    
    There are "skip" screens which move you along a level faster by
    "running" through a bonus section.  The only thing you get out of it is
    fruit and some extra bucks.
    
    Sounds like you got hit by the "oops, I meant to restart" reset
    syndrome.  Don't feel bad, I did that at the end of 8-3....and spent
    the next two days getting back there.
    
    Hang in there,
    
    Steve

    Help!!!
    
    My wife and son won't turn the Nintendo game off until they can
    get beyond 8-3.  They get to a point where the stairs fall down
    and bats come at you while pressing the B button to get across quickly,
    can't get beyond here because when you see the fire and try to jump
    another bat comes along and kills you.
    
    Any tips would be appreciated so that we can give the game a rest.
    
    Thanks in advance.
    
    

    Spoiler on how to find invisible eggs:
    
    
    
    
    If you throw a weapon at the spot where an invisible egg is, the weapon
    dissapears.  You stand where it disappeared, jump straight up (the egg
    will appear under you), land, and Ta-da! the egg flies into the air,
    comes down, breaks and you get the object inside.
    
    
    
    

    *** frustraton worse than ever ***
    
    Thank you for the information about note 168 but I still don't have
    the answer to my question.  How do you kill the Boss at the end
    of level one?  I saw that the question was asked in note 168 but
    I also saw that no one answered it.  After reading 33 notes regarding
    "Island Adventure" I found that almost everyone was able to advance
    to numerous levels so someone out there must be able to tell me
    how to kill the Boss.  Please, will someone give me that one spoiler
    to help me advance in this game?  I know this is old news to you
    but I am new at this and would appreciate some help.
    
    Thank you very much in advance...

    Help!
    Something really weird happened to me while I was playing this game. I
    wasn't trying to beat it, I was just running at high speed without
    stopping. I was some where near the end of 1-4. You know those coyote
    things that run at your back after you pass a red flower? Well, I was
    just speeding along, and this coyote starts running behind me. I was in
    a big, level clearing. I ran along without stopping, and when the
    coyote got close, I jumped into the air. It sped under me. When I
    landed, Ishot it twice in the back and killed it. Then, suddenly, this
    harmonica thing is in front of me. I'm not sure it was a harmonica, but
    it was a little brown box with black squares across it, so that's what
    I think it is. Since I was running nonstop, I grabbed it before I got a
    good look at it.
    Does any body know what on earth that thing was? If you do, TELL ME!!!
    I really want to know. My theory is that it lets you warp somehow, but
    how to do it is a mystery to me. Please post any questions/comments/    
    statements in this note.  Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Does anyone know if part 2 of this game is comming out?   I read a very
    good review about it. Supposed to be released last month.  Anyone know
    what the title will be?
    
    Thanks, Pam

    The name of Adventure Island's sequel will be this original title:
    Adventure Island II.
    
    I don't want to sound impatient, but does any one have any info on the
    "Warp Harmonica" I mentioned in .37????

    	I don't know what that thing was that you saw but if its
    	bugging you (It would bug the hell out of me!) I would
    	suggest you call the maker of the game, Hudson Soft
    	and ask them what it was you made appear. 
    
    	I don't know thier number offhand but it should be on
    	the instruction manual or the box. If you find out what it is
    	let us know.

       Does anyone know if there is a code that can advance you to any
     level in the game. I don't like leaving my games on for more than
     12 hours so if anyone knows a way to jump levels let me know. I always
     seem to quit playing the game at level 5.1-5.3 ..

    (A very frustrating game but addictive!)
    
    As far as the question of the raccoon or whatever comes running at you,
    it is not a warp zone of any kind.  It simply gives you alot of points. 
    I have been playing this game for what seems like forever and I still
    have not been able to get past world 6.  There are no warp zones in
    this game.  I do have a question, in world 6.3 where in the world do
    you get food to continue on to 6.4?  I always seem to run out and if I
    get lucky enough to spot an egg, it's an eggplant!  In fact I think
    almost all the eggs in that level are eggplants!  I am probably the
    only fool out here still playing this game while all the other smarter
    people have already thrown theirs across the room!  I would really
    appreciate some pointers on level 6 if anyone had the paitence enough
    to get past there!
    
    Thanks again..... Barb
