Inside the capsules there are power foods which increase Goku's power There are also other items such as Magic Poles and Wind Waves that assist him during his travels. But be careful! The capsules sometimes contain enemies also. 2.Try to keep Goku's power level up. Goku's power level is very important.

The maximum power that Goku can get is 150. 3.Smash the boulders. During Section 1 entitled the "Turtle Hermit," Goku can not move forward because there is a large boulder blocking his way. If Goku keeps striking at the boulder; he should be able to smash it and may find something there. ---14 4.Use Wind Waves carefully Wind Waves are very powerful weapons. The Turtle Hermit and Goku are the only ones who can use this tech- nique. Make sure that Wind Wave is used only when this special technique can conquer the enemy. Remember; only Wind Waves can extinguish fires! Super Wind. Wave, which is the powered up ver- sion of Wind Wave, enables you to shoot three Wind Waves in rapid succession. (With Super Wind Wave the following symbol will appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen: 5.Magic Pole This is the weapon which has two times more strength or power of destruction than the punch. The Magic Pole ena- bles Goku to hit enemies that are further away, making it easier for Goku to beat them. 6.Sandwich By eating a sandwich, Goku can run much faster for a limited time. ---15 7.Swift Cloud. By riding on Swift Cloud, Goku can fly over to nearly the end of the scene. Try to find Swift Cloud when it appears suddenly on the Capsule Roulette. 8.King Minos' Trap. In Section 6, "King Minos," during the action-packed fighting scene which is King Minos' trap, if Goku walks on top of the flame, he'll lose power rapidly, and his movements slow down! Be careful! 9.Pudgy In Section 2, "Pudgy," Goku has to find Pudgy who was transformed to a village girl. Since Goku cannot identify a boy or a girl, he has to attack everyone with a ? on their faces. Some people run away screaming, while others run after Goku. 10.Keys are very important. Keys play a very important part in Goku's adventure. For example, in Section 2, "Pudgy," Goku has to make sure that he picks up all the keys that Pudgy has dropped, or ---16 he'll have trouble later. Therefor; you have to make sure that as many keys as possible are picked up. 11.Run after the Rabbit Gang. In Section 5, "Rabbit Gang;' the Rabbit Gang has trans- formed Nora into carrots, and they've run away with one of the carrots as hostage. Even if Goku gets the four carrots, if he's missing the fifth carrot, he can't do anything to help Nora. Don't lose sight of the Rabbit Gang. But be careful, because if Goku touches a Rabbit Gang, he will turn into a carrot! 12.Hidden Caves. There are sometimes hidden caves where rocks or trees are no aligned, or in some cases, in houses. Inside of these caves are capsules that contain weapons or power that will help Goku ~ But if Goku travels further on, there won't be any hidden ~ caves in some scenes. By using these secret techniques, I hope you can col- lect the seven crystal balls which will enable you to call ---17 the Dragon Emperor. There are a lot of hardships awaiting you. Good luck! SECRET OF THE DRAGON If Goku collects all seven crystal balls, the Dragon Emperor appears to grant him whatever wish he wants. Well, what kind of wish can he get? BEWARE! THE FOLLOWING ARE DEADLY. 1.When Goku loses all of his power 2.Falling into holes, etc. during the action-packed fighting scene. (The game ends if you make one of the above mistakes.)

There are times when Goku can't enter at all. -When you want to go back, you can only go back in two moves vertical and horizontal. -Power of Magic Pole will disappear at the end of each stage, so Goku has to get new weapons at each new stage. -Keys and crystal balls are sometimes hidden in blocks or vases, so try to punch them whenever they appear.
