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
™ ™
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
™ ™ ™
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!

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.

A SOLDIER'S DUTIES AND ACTIVITIES

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.

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.

weapons test correctly. You will see an EXPLOSION when a soldier
