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:

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