Thank you for purchasing this KA-BLOOEY Game Pak for the Super Nintendo
Entertainment System; it's sure to be the most EXPLOSIVE puzzle game you've
ever played!
You'll have to blast your way through 130 MIND-BLOWING levels, each harder and
more complicated than the last, but you're sure to get a CHARGE out of it. The
object of the game is to strategically DETONATE every bomb in each level, and
still leave yourself a safe place to stand!
Good Luck, and have a BLAST!

PASSWORD INFO
KA-BLOOEY has a built-in password feature that allows you to return to whatever
level you left off at, even after you turn off the power!
At the start of each level, a password will be shown on the screen that you
can use to return to that level at any time. Make sure you write down these
passwords. When you wish to restart, select "Password" after choosing 1 or 2
players. Use the control pad to choose and enter each of the letters that
spell out the password of the level you wish to return to. Up and down changes
the current letter, left and right will move forward or backward through the
password. Press the A Button to enter the password. When you enter a correct
password, the game will resume at the level with the corresponding password.
Note: If you get totally blown away, you may select the "continue" option to
restart the game at the level that you perished. You will not have to enter a
password, as long as you don't turn off the power.

GAME STRATEGIES
Once you get started, it is time to work out your strategy. At the beginning
of each level, press the Start button to see the map. Study the map and use
it to plan your strategy for the level.
The timer will stop while you look at the map, so take as much time as you
wish. Make sure you take into account effective use of the different explosion
areas of the different bombs. Once you have planned an effective strategy,
return to the 3-D screen and let the excitement begin.

the process it will be destroyed.

ping on this tile. An explosion will
destroy it.

steer him like you would your own character.
It doesn't matter if Squeak

him like you would a Squeak (he looks
like a Squeak except he is red). Unlike
a Squeak, he'll explode if he touches a
bomb.
(note from Steve: There's possibly an error here... the picture of Bubble is
blue and the text says that its red... I don't know which info is right)
