GAMEPLAY

You control Tiki the Kiwi in his search for
the release of his kidnapped friends.
Initially, you ore armed with just a bow
and arrow, but occasionally when you
kill an enemy, they may drop an item
which you con retrieve and use yourself.
There are many different types of items
which you must discover yourself, but
they vary from extra weapons to
temporary invulnerability pills.
Kiwis cannot fly and you are no
exception, however, you get around this
by knocking/shooting creatures off their
balloons, which you can then
commandeer and take to the skies!
Surprisingly, Kiwis cannot breathe
underwater either, so you must be
careful if you go swimming. Your oxygen
level is shown on screen, so make sure
you don't drown! Shooting water from
your mouth replenishes oxygen and can
be used to pot your adversaries. 
In the earlier levels, you will be shown 
arrows on the background which 
indicate the direction you must go to 
release the captive Kiwi on that level, but 
beware, on certain stages, releasing 
your friend alerts the Big Guardian 
Creature of that level, and you must first 
find a way of defeating it before 
progressing to the next level. Hint: you 
must allow yourself to be swallowed by 
the Whale so you can destroy him from 
the inside! 

HINTS & TIPS 
* When in water, oxygen can be 
replenished by raising Tiki's head above 
the water - then spit by pressing fire if 
you want to gain oxygen quickly. 
* Steal balloons by jumping on them 
while the baddie is still on, pushing him 
off. 
* After a lot of practice, playing skills 
con be improved considerably. 
* Use the duck balloon when you need 
speed.
