A general guide for playing the game.


The aim of the game

The aim of Toejam and Earl, is to guide your player(s) through the 25 levels of Earthling mayhem, collecting the 10 Ship pieces needed to fly back to Funkotron. Presents are littered about the place to aid or hinder you, and hazards are many and dangerous. Are our heroes funky enough to collect all 10 pieces and escape Planet Earth?

Items encountered in the game

	Indicates a ship piece. Collect this to get that little bit closer to completing the game.
	This is the exit from the level. In a two-player game, this will only leave the level both players are on when both players are in it.
	Allows you to do mail order and buy presents with your Bucks. Beware though, because on some levels the Mailbox can be evil!
	A Buck. Helpful in buying mail order presents and paying the good Earthlings for their help.
	The Telephone will ring when you get close to it, so hunt it down. It will disappear in 5 or 6 rings, so you will need to hurry! The Telephone uncovers tiles on the current level map.
	Often the path from near the start point to the exit, the Road is helpful in that you will move fast when on it, and it keeps you above surface on sandy areas.
