ChuChu Rocket!_US_2/9/00 2/25/00 11:09 AM Page 1

In a far away time on a far away planet, there is a

Space Port. This Space Port is inhabited by thousands

of little ChuChus.

ChuChus aren’t ordinary

mice. We’re space mice!

The things that ChuChus

detest more than anything

else are KapuKapus.

KapuKapus aren’t ordinary

cats. We’re space cats!

The ChuChus lived happily until one

day, when…

The Space Port became infested with

KapuKapus.

Oh no! Look at all

those cats!

What should

we do?

The fate of the ChuChus is in your

hands! The “ChuChu Rocket!” launch

countdown has started!

The ChuChus must

escape in rockets.

Which rocket

should we go in?

ChuChu Rocket!_US_2/9/00 2/25/00 11:09 AM Page 2

In a state of panic, the ChuChus are

running around at high speed. The only

order in the chaos is that they turn right

when they hit a wall. The ChuChus want

to get away from the KapuKapus –

quickly. But they just don’t know which

rocket to board.

Rockets are the only way to

escape the Space Port.

But there’s only enough fuel for

one rocket!

Space cats. They have huge, scary

mouths, and voracious appetites. They are

truly terrifying creatures. Like ChuChus,

they only turn to the right. KapuKapus

don’t even realize how much trouble they

cause. That’s why they’re really bad cats.

✻The following characters do not appear during game play.

Chuih is a ChuChu who really knows how

to party.

He’s the pilot of the Blue ChuChu Rocket.

ChuBei is a careless

ChuChu who

feigns ignorance.

He’s the pilot of

the Yellow

ChuChu Rocket.

ChuBach is a steady and reliable ChuChu who

does things at his own pace.

He’s the pilot of the Green ChuChu Rocket.

ChuPea is a moody

daydreamer.

She’s the pilot of the

Red ChuChu Rocket.

You will get 50 ChuChus in one shot!

ChuChusArrow Panels Rocket RocketsKapuKapus

Use to lead into your own Look out for ! Lead them into your opponents’ !

The way that ChuChus move is

very simple. Try and read the

movements of the ChuChus and

place Arrow Panels to guide them.

KapuKapus move in the same way.

ChuChus run in a straight line

If they bump into a wall,

they turn right They turn in the direc-

tion of an Arrow Panel

You will sometimes see strange ChuChus. Maybe you can turn the tables of the

game by leading one of them into your own Rocket… If a KapuKapu bumps head-on into an Arrow Panel once, it will shrink a little.

If a KapuKapu bumps head-on into an Arrow Panel two times, it will vanish.

One-third of collected ChuChus are lost

(E.g. 30 ChuChus = 10 ChuChus lost).

If a KapuKapu enters a Rocket...

KapuKapus eat ChuChus!

And what’s worse, they’ll eat one

third of all the ChuChus that you

have collected if one of them gets

into your Rocket.

So, keep the KapuKapus out of your

own Rocket, while leading them into

your opponents’ Rockets.

If you guide a “50” yellow

ChuChu into your Rocket, then...

If you guide a “?” red ChuChu

into your Rocket, then…

Two bumps from a KapuKapu

and an Arrow Panel will vanish.

One bump from a KapuKapu

and an Arrow Panel will shrink…
