1 key.
To Reset Game: Press Reset or 3
key.

7 key (note that some emulators crash

To Make Koffi's Eyes and raindrops their proper "blue" color (for use in emulators
which insist that the color is GREEN! Argh!): Press the 6

You can only do this on the Title Screen. This option is not active

Instructions for "Koloring book!"
Press the 5 Key on any screen to turn on
Koloring Book! while the game is Paused. In this mode, you can
change the color of almost anything on screen. Here's how:
* selects which item to select. It goes from 0 to 9, then A thru F, each
representing a different item.
0 will increment the associated color value.
# will decrement the associated color value.
Press the 5 key to resume gameplay using your new colors!
For example, in this picture I have changed the top cloud's color to a reddish
hue with value 22. This is actually a brownish hue on the actual 5200, btw.
The Top Cloud is item "0".

0 TopCloud Body Color
1 TopCloud Border Color

How To Play
Your goal is to put out that fire. But you will not be able to do that unless you
take out Pyro first. Keep bumping into Pyro, avoiding his lightning. After you've
hit him a number of times, he will go berzerk, and finally you will defeat him.
Be careful! Pyro speeds up and slows down and if you pay attention, you should
see his patterns. Watch out for a Level 5 Berzerk Pyro ... he's incredibly fast!
(Level 5 not available in Koffi demo)
Oh yeah, it's wise to have the fire well under control and to have enough water
when you defeat him. You'll
hear one of his relatives thundering their disapproval at you, so quickly douse
the fire to finish the level before time runs out!
Difficulty Settings: Easy mode has a slow fire and rewards you with plenty of water.
Normal mode has a faster fire spread but still rewards you extra water for rain/snow
or animal rescue. In Hard Mode, you must carefully manage your water supply, since
you are given less water and other game settings are turned up a bit faster too.
Fly Koffi into Raindrops and snowflakes to put water into his tank. The rain follows its own rules which
may change level to level. One quick way to pick
up lots of rain drops (and building up the yellow water meter at the right side
of the screen) is to get near the top cloud and begin to fly to the right just when
a raindrop is due to fall. You'll link together a chain of Rain drops on your trip
and by doing this a few times, plus grabbing animals and hustling a bit, you should
have no trouble keeping that gauge filled up. Raindrop Chaining becomes a crucial
skill for Koffi in the harder levels!
Dousing occurs when you press the lower fire button and you are close enough
to the fire.
Don't forget to rescue animals for water and big points! Animals will expire after
a short while if you don't save them, causing Koffi to lose some water and get
no points.
Koffi must find a way to bump into Pyro's Mom to defeat her! Hint: the drone fireball
follows you. So does Pyro's Mom. ZZZap?
For example, in this picture I have changed the top cloud's color to a reddish

The Top Cloud is item "0".
