How to play

The goal of the game is to get from the starting point to the end of the level (the green warp-pipe) as quickly and painlessly as possible. You must avoid enemies (or defeat them), grab coins, and make it to the end of the game without getting a game over. Generally, you begin on the left side of a level and must travel to the right side. For more information on how you can do this and what you can expect, please visit the Basic Moves, Enemies and Items sections of the manual.

Switching to Full Screen Mode

Alternatively, you can press F8 to open (or close) the options bar on the game window. Here, you can access a variety of options, such as full screen mode, turning sound effects on (or off), or changing the controls.
