Can you put everyone back together the way they're supposed to be? When you do, the Strawberryland characters will dance for joy!

One at a time, you'll see the five Strawberryland characters that you want to correctly put together.

This cartridge is played by one player at a time. Use the Joystick to choose the head, body, and legs for each character. Move the Joystick UP or DOWN to choose which part of the body you want to find first. Each time you move the controller UP or DOWN, a vertical indicator line will move up or down each side of character. This indicates the part (head, body, or legs) that you'll try to find. Then move the Joystick LEFT or RIGHT to see each of the choices you have for that particular part of the body. When you've selected a head, body, and legs that you think are correct, press the red button. [Screen shot showing Indicator Line] [Picture showing diagram of Joystick showing UP and DOWN and LEFT and RIGHT movements and also showing the RED BUTTON] PLAYING One Berry Game -- A mixed-up character will appear on the screen. Use the Joystick to put together a Strawberryland character that you think is correct. When you've selected a head, body, and legs that you think are correct, press the red button. * If you're right, you'll see the character's name at the base of the gazebo. You'll also hear the character's talent show tune and see his or her legs dance to the music. When the music and dancing end, you'll see another mixed-up character that needs to be correctly put together. [Screen shot showing a put together Purple Pieman] {Page 4} * If you're wrong, you'll hear a mixed-up tune that's made up of a bit of the tune for each character's part you've selected. For example, if you have the Purple Pieman's head with Strawberry Shortcake's body and Lime Chiffon's legs, you'll hear a tune that has a little bit of the Purple Pieman's tune, Strawberry Shortcake's tune, and LIme Chiffon's tune. You'll also see the character's legs dance to the music, but you won't see a name below the character you've assembled. When the music and dancing end, you'll see the same character for you to correctly put together.
