Gameplay

You play as Rolo, an elephant who must rescue his animal friends who have been locked up in cages scattered throughout various landscapes by poachers. You start out by choosing levels on a map screen. At the beginning of each level, you are told how many animals to rescue. Holding A runs. B jumps. Jump on poachers to kill them. Get hit by a poacher once to lose a life. Some poachers carry the keys to open cages; once you get the key, simply touch a cage to open it. The animal inside will follow you. Once all the animals are freed, find the exit sign to move on to the next level. By pressing  START , you can access a menu where you can choose between Rolo and the animals he has collected, each having their own ability:

  • Rabbit: jump higher
  • Beaver: survive water
  • Mole: dig through certain walls
  • Squirrel: climb walls

Some levels also contain vacuum cleaners; if Rolo collects these, he can hold C to suck items into his trunk; once something is in his trunk, let go of C, then press C to fire that item at an enemy.
