CONGRATULATIONS!
You have joined forces with the smartest, most talented soldiers
ever created. They have been programmed with so much intelligence,
that they actually come alive. They’re the stars of their own hit
movie — and they come alive again in your Giga unit!
CHIP HAZARD
™
, BRICK BAZOOKA
™
, ARCHER
™
and SLAMFIST
™
,
were all designed by Mars MicroDigiTech a company with
accessibility to military intelligence, tactics and strategy. You’ll
watch as each comes alive, ripping their way clear from their boxes!
TO START
To start the game, pull the plastic tab from the back of your Giga
Pets Plus unit and throw it away. Once you turn your unit on, it
should stay on. You never have to turn it off!
TO SET THE CLOCK
It’s really important that you set the clock to the correct time,
because you need to take care of and train your soldiers on a
normal military schedule. If you don’t set the time correctly, your
soldiers could get confused — and they might recharge themselves
all day and keep you awake all night! After you start the game,
the game will be in CLOCK MODE.
Here’s how to set the clock:
1) The HOUR will be flashing. Press LEFT/RIGHT to adjust the
hour. When the correct hour is set, press ENTER.
2) The MINUTES will now be flashing. Press LEFT/RIGHT to adjust
the minutes. When the time is set to the right minute, press
ENTER.
TO PAUSE
While in the NAME MODE enter the word “STOP”. This will then
“pause” the clock. Your Small Soldiers™ will still move on screen
but the clock will not advance. To deactivate the “pause” function,
re-enter the NAME MODE and enter the word “NORMAL”. This
will return the clock to real time.
CHOOSING YOUR SOLDIER!
After the clock is set, you will see an opening sequence of all the
soldiers marching through the neighborhood to a suburban house
— that is about to become the battle site!
Then you can select whichever of the soldiers you want to play
with first by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to see the various
faces of CHIP
™
, BRICK
™
, ARCHER
™
and SLAMFIST
™
. Then press
the ENTER button to select your soldier!
You can switch to another soldier any time you want! When it comes
to battle, all soldiers must be ready at any time to join the battle!
You can continually shift between the four Small Soldiers
™
—
trying to keep all four of them active!
YOUR NAME
Enter your name in order to enlist into the game. After all, every
good soldier must enlist!
1) Press LEFT/RIGHT to search through the alphabet and numbers.
2) Press ENTER to select a letter or number and move to the next
space to continue spelling out your name choice. You may use
up to 12 letters or numbers.
3) Press ENTER twice to accept the current name and go to GAME
MODE.
SOUND EFFECTS
Your Giga Pets Plus has sound effects and even a few lines of
speech that you will hear during specific activities in the game!
Imagine — you’ll hear words from the Commanders themselves,
Chip
™
and Archer
™
— plus the sounds of weapon firings!
TURNING OFF THE SOUND
1) Press MODE to enter CLOCK MODE.
2) Press LEFT to turn the sound off — the SOUND ( ) will
disappear.
3) Press LEFT again to turn the sound on — the SOUND ( ) will
appear again.
4) Press MODE as many times as you need to return to game mode.
(Each press of MODE skips you through the various fields
before you get back to the game mode.)
RETURNING TO CLOCK MODE
Once the game begins in GAME MODE, you can return to CLOCK
MODE by pressing MODE.
1) If you wish to adjust the clock, press ENTER. The clock will
start flashing.
2) After you set the time, press ENTER to return to GAME MODE.
Your Small Soldiers
™
will appear again.
CARING FOR THE NEEDS OF YOUR MEN
It is up to you to take care for your Small Soldiers™ and to respond
to all their needs! Check your MISSION STATUS to check on your:
— overall mission status score ( )
— efficiency index ( )
— fitness index ( )
— power level ( )
When you hear the alert beep (if sound is on) and you see the ALERT
icon light up, it means that your Giga Pets Plus needs something
—and he needs it NOW, soldier!
If a soldier needs a power-up, FEED it the power-up it needs! If it
needs a WEAPONS TEST, test the weapon! If it needs RECHARGING
OR CLEANING, then do it! Whatever your soldier needs, provide it!
Here’s a special clue for you: The CHARACTER BUILDING,
TRAINING and Q and A(Quality and Assurance) are unique activities
unlike any others ever seen in the Giga universe before — and do
not have alert “beeps”. So as a good soldier, you must be on guard
to check them out whenever you feel necessary!
Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to move to the activity you think your
soldier needs, then press ENTER.
If you need help understanding what your soldier needs, the
MISSION STATUS activity (scoring) is the place to go for some
hints. Like all good commanders, you should also share your
soldiering skills with your friends, and see if they have any tips
for you. Finally, more information can be found at the Giga Pets
website at www.gigapets.com.
VOICE ACTIVATION
( )
Your Small Soldiers
™
unit is also equipped with a unique voice
activation that responds to your voice commands or clapping. This
feature can be used with all the soldiers you activate.
If voice activation is turned on, certain activities can be triggered
by sound.
1) If your soldier is off screen, voice command will trigger the
soldier to walk back on screen again.
2) If your soldier doesn’t perform well in either TRAINING or
CHARACTER BUILDING, voice command can send the soldier to
“Q AND A” testing.
3) If your soldier DOES perform well in TRAINING or CHARACTER
BUILDING, voice command can reward your soldier!
TURNING OFF VOICE ACTIVATION
1) Press MODE to enter CLOCK MODE.
2) Press RIGHT to turn the voice activation off — the VOICE
ACTIVATION ICON ( ) will disappear.
3) Press RIGHT again to turn the voice activation on — the VOICE
ACTIVATION ICON ( ) will appear again.
Press MODE TWICE to return to GAME MODE.

A SOLDIER’S DUTIES AND ACTIVITIES
You are responsible for meeting the needs of your soldiers. The
needs include: POWER-UP, WEAPONS TEST, RECHARGE, TRAIN,
CHARACTER BUILDING, CLEAN and Q AND A (Quality and
Assurance).
POWER-UP
( )
Each Commando Elite
™
and Gorgonite
™
has a “Main” power-up and a
“Turbo” power-up.
The Main power-up are indispensable for keeping the Small
Soldiers™ active. They tune up power system, enabling the Small
Soldiers™ to function properly.
The Turbo power-up enhances performance in TRAINING and
CHARACTER BUILDING activities. These are treats for your
soldiers.
When you select this activity, you’re given a choice of foods. Use
the LEFT or RIGHT key to select either the MAIN power-up or the
TURBO (treats) power-up. The Main power-up is shown on the left
side of the screen and the turbo treats are shown on the right
side. Your soldiers need main power-ups to retain POWER LEVEL
and turbo power-ups to maintain effective TRAINING skills.
You can check the power of your soldier by checking the
EFFICIENCY ( ) on the MISSION STATUS screen ( ). An ( )
100 means your soldier has all the power it needs and it may
refuse additional power. At the other extreme, an ( ) 0 means
you are in trouble because your soldier will EXPLODE!!!!
Your soldiers will always accept turbo power-ups, even when it
has all the power it needs. But be careful, too many turbo power
treats can have bad effects on your soldier. You should never
give your soldier more than 2 or 3 turbo power treats a day.
RECHARGE
( )
Recharging is important for all energy driven toys, including your
Small Soldiers
™
. Your soldiers may want recharging during the
day. At night, your soldiers will be especially in need of recharging.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell when a soldier needs recharging. If
you try everything else — and the alert icon won’t go away, maybe
it’s time for a little recharge action!
WEAPONS TEST
( )
Soldiers need to learn how to be safe with their weapon by learning
how to use them properly.
You will see HAPPY face animations when a soldier performs a
weapons test correctly. You will see an EXPLOSION when a soldier
performs a weapons test incorrectly.
CHARACTER BUILDING
( )
You actually help BUILD your Small Soldiers
™
BY CHANGING their
parts when needed.
You will see an obstacle or challenge — and then must choose the
correct body part to best fulfill the challenge! Once you select
a body part, you will see your soldier use the part.
The challenges are:
WALL CLOSING
BOULDER
WINDOW JUMP
TABLE CLIMB
WALL BREAKING
RALLY THE TROOPS
