MAGINARYWORLD…

A world in another dimension where Sonic and his friends will embark on a

new Adventure.

A world where dreams and reality co-exist.

Maginaryworld is held together by the power of the Precioustone, a jewel

created from the hopes and dreams of people living in different dimensions.

One day, a monster known as Void appears in Maginaryworld and shatters

the power of the Precioustone.

Without the power of the

Precioustone, Maginaryworld is

faced with the danger of unraveling

at the very seams of its existence.

In order to save Maginaryworld,

Lumina Flowlight, the Guardian

Fairy, sends out a message to the

other worlds in search of a hero

who can help restore

Maginaryworld.

The message is sent out, in search of someone with courage and heart…

…And Sonic and his friends receive it.

Sonic and his friends must battle not only Void, but also Eggman, who learned

of the power of the Precioustone and followed Sonic into Maginaryworld.

Receiving a deck of Magical Cards and Forcejewels from Lumina, Sonic and his

friends must embark on an adventure to restore Maginaryworld.

Saving

The game will be saved to the memory card at the beginning of a turn.

Ending

The board will end when all the Precioustones have been collected.

The winner will be decided by the number of Emblems that were collected. See

Page 9 for more about Emblems. You will only be able to advance to the next stage

if you are in first place at the end of the board. If you are unable to place first, you

must play the same board over again.

At the end of each board in STORY mode, the rings you collected during the game

will be put into the Sonic Bank. You can then buy pictures using these rings in the

SONICROOM. See Page 8.

Playing Order

The playing order is decided by a mini-game. Before each mini-game starts, some brief

instructions are displayed. Press the D-Pad to view different pages and press to

start playing. The winner of the game will be first in the playing order, the 2nd person will

will be the next in the playing order, and so forth.

Using the VMU Screen

The cards in your own hand are constantly displayed on your VMU.

At the bottom left of the screen your present number of

Forcejewels is displayed. At the bottom right of the VMUscreen is a

ring icon that displays whether you are in Lightness (plus sign) or

Darkness Mode (minus sign).

Duels

Unlike STORY Mode, there are Duels in VERSUSMode. You will

have to duel if you land on the same Battle Space or Ring

Space as another player. If there are already several players on

the same space, the latest arrival must duel against the first

person to land on that particular space. The loser in a duel will

either lose rings or rest one turn if they have no rings.

Saving

In this mode, the game will not be saved and the rings collected in VERSUS Mode will not

be added to the Sonic Bank.

Ending

The game will end when all the Precioustones have been collected. The winner will be

decided by the number of Emblems that were collected. See Page 9 for more about

Emblems. When the players have completed the board, the game will end and the Title

Screen will be displayed.

COM Settings

In VERSUSMode, you can set all the characters to be controlled by the COM. Once

you do this, the COM players will start to play the game and you can sit back and

enjoy watching all the fun. Press and hold Trigger / when your character is moving

to display the Human/COMMenu to change these settings and rejoin the game.

VERSUS (1-4 Players)

First, select the number of players. Note that the number of players that you can

select is limited by the number of connected controllers.

Character Selection

Second, each player must select the character that they want to play the game as.

There are initially 4 characters to choose from. Press to view the special abilities of

each character.

Difficulty Setting

Next, select the difficulty setting of the Computer (COM) players.

Board Selection

After selecting the COM difficulty setting, select the board that you would like to play.

You can select from Emerald Coast, Firebird, Nature Zone, Riot Train or 4th Dimension.

Precioustone Selection

Select the number of Precioustones that will appear on the board. You may select

from 2-7 Precioustones. This will determine the play time of the game. The more

Precioustones, the longer it will take to clear the game.

Finally, confirm the settings made and select “YES” to start the game.

SonicShuffleManual10_13 10/13/00 2:10 PM Page 6

The following rules and instructions apply to both STORYand VERSUSModes:

Join Sonic and his friends in the kind of adventure only Sonic can have! This is a

board-game with a difference. There aren’t any dice. You and your friends must use

the special cards given to you by the fairy Lumina to help Sonic and the others move

across dynamic 3-D board maps that change as you advance through the game.

Use the cards to move across the board and collect the pieces of the Precioustones

that will appear somewhere on the board.

The cards will also allow you to battle monsters when you land on a Battle Space.

When you defeat a monster, you will receive a Forcejewel. The Forcejewel is a

special item that can be used to help you move across the board or to hinder the

other players. You can also get Forcejewels in certain mini-games or buy them at the

shop using rings that you collect as you advance through the game.

You can collect rings by landing on a Ring Space, or by beating your friends in one

of the many mini-games. Mini-games are triggered when you land on an Event

Space.

Select TUTORIAL to read the following instructions for the game.

GAME OBJECTIVE

Here the objective of the game is explained. The player who collects the most

Emblems is the winner. The way to collect Emblems is also described here.

CARDS

This is where you can find out what each card means and how they can be used.

SPACES

This is where you can learn about the different types of spaces.

Everyone’s hangin’ out in Sonic’s Room after the game!

Grab those rings you collected and join the fun.

Sonic has a photo album full of memorable scenes from the

game on his coffee table.

You’ll need the rings you collected during STORY Mode to

purchase the pictures in the album. The pictures you can

purchase will increase as you advance through the game.

By purchasing specific pictures, you’ll see new items such as a

Toy Box or a Stereo set appear in Sonic’s Room. The Toy Box will allow you to play all

the Mini-Games you played in the STORY Mode.

Certain pictures will also allow you to use new characters in VERSUS Mode.

Other than the items that appear when you purchase the pictures, new items will

also appear as you play the game, such as dolls of the characters, plants, and fish in

the aquarium.

Select which memory card to save to or load from.

Emblems

It’s fun to demolish your friends in the mini-games or to give

them a hard time using the Forcejewels, but don’t forget your

ultimate goal is to be the player with the most Sonic Emblems

at the end of the game.

There are 5 different ways you can get an Emblem.

1. Collect the Precioustones.

2. Be the player with the most rings at the end of the game.

3. Be the winner in the Board clear mini-game. (→P. 19)

4. Fulfill the Quest of the Board. (→P. 12)

5. Be the winner of the most Duels (→P. 7 VERSUS Mode only).

Don’t forget that if two players have the same number of Emblems, then the winner

will be the player with the most rings. If two players or more have both the same

number of Emblems and rings, then the winner will be decided by the playing order

with the first player being the winner.

SonicShuffleManual10_13 10/13/00 2:10 PM Page 8

Plus Ring Spaces

Normally, you will receive 3 rings if you land on a Plus Ring Space.

Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.

Minus Ring Spaces

Normally, you will lose 3 rings if you land on a Minus Ring Space.

Once the final Precioustone has appeared, this number will double.

Ring Space Combos

If you continue to land on either Plus Ring Spaces or Minus Ring Spaces for

consecutive turns, you will gain or lose up to 5 times the amount of

rings. Therefore if you land on a Plus Ring Space two times in

succession, you will receive double the amount of rings, then triple

if you land on a 3rd Plus Ring Space on your next turn and so forth.

Even if you land on more than 5 consecutive Plus Space Rings, you

will only receive a maximum of five times the number of rings. A

combo will continue even if you land on a Minus Ring Space after

a Plus Ring Space.

Light Mode and Darkness Mode

This is when Eggman periodically descends on the board to wreak havoc on the

players.

Light Mode

This will mean that landing on a Plus Space will win you +5 rings and landing on a

Minus Space will cost you –1 ring.

Darkness Mode

This will mean that landing on a Plus Space will win you +1 ring and landing on a

Minus Space will cost you –5 rings.

These modes also affect ring combos when they are landed on a certain number of

times on the board:

Plus Ring Spaces Every 15 times (Darkness Mode)

Minus Ring Spaces Every 10 times (Light Mode)

Game play will return to normal when a mode ends.

Three icons will be displayed in the middle of the screen when

it is your turn.

Icons

Press the D-Pad to select an icon and press to enter.

The icons from left to right are as follows:

STORY MODE:

System Icon – Select this to display another three icons:

Sound – Switch between Stereo/Mono

Card Display Position - Select whether to display your cards on

top or in a fixed position.

COM Speed - Increase the speed of the COM players.

Card Icon – Switch to the card selection screen.

Forcejewel Icon – View your Forcejewels or select one for use.

VERSUS MODE:

This is the same as for Story Mode with the addition of the following:

System Icon - There is a fourth option:

Human/COM – Change the player from human to COM or

change the computer difficulty level.

You have the option to play any of the available cards, whether they are in your

hand or not. The cards in your hand are displayed on the screen of your VMU.

Played cards are displayed in the Trash Can window to the right of the screen. Press

the D-Pad to select a card, then press to enter your selection. If you do

not have a VMU, make sure you reshuffle your cards after choosing one, to confuse

the other players! You will then move the number of spaces indicated on your card.

Jump Space

Bounce to another space.

Your opponent will show you a card with a number from 1 to 6. You

have two attack options, which are indicated by the two onscreen

icons. The first is to play a card that is either the same number or

higher than your opponent’s. A roulette will spin displaying every

number from 1 to the number value of your card. Press to stop

the roulette. You will perform a critical hit if you hit your opponent

with the same number as its HP. You will defeat your opponent and

win a Forcejewel if the number the roulette stops on is the same as

or higher than that of your opponent and you will lose rings if you are defeated. If you are

defeated and have no rings left, you will have to miss a turn. As with all other Sonic games,

you only need a single ring to remain safe.

The second option is to play one of your Forcejewels - if you have one.

After winning a battle in VERSUS Mode, another roulette will appear showing the portraits

of the other players on the board. Press to stop the roulette and you can steal coins

from another player. If you perform a critical hit in STORY Mode, you will receive 2

Forcejewels and in Versus Mode you will be able to steal twice the number of rings from

another player.

Precioustone Spaces

These are where Precioustones appear. Only one Precioustone will

appear on the board at a time. You will have to fight a battle if you

land on a Precioustone Space where there is a Precioustone. See

Page 12 for more about battles. You will be pushed back 1-6

spaces if you lose the battle.

Any damage that you receive will be added, so that you will start the next battle with

the same HP as you had when you finished the last one.

The next Precioustone will appear in a new location if you win.

When you take a Precioustone, Eggman will take half of the rings from the player

furthest away from the Precioustone by dropping a huge weight on him or her.

When you win the 2nd, 4th and 6th Precioustones, one of the Precioustone Spaces

will become a Void Precioustone.

Void Precioustone Space

Land on one of these to trigger an event.

Pay 50 rings and you can take a Precioustone from another player using the roulette.

If you succeed in stealing a Precioustone, you will be moved to another square.

Revolving Spaces

There is a 50% chance that it will turn you around to head in the

direction you came from when you cross over one of these

spaces. Nothing will happen if you land on top of one.

What are Precioustones?

The Precioustone is a crystallized form of the dreams of

all people.

Event Spaces

Land on one of these to trigger either a Mini-Event or a Mini-Game.

Regardless of who actually lands on the Event Space, all the players

will be involved in a Mini-Game. However, only the player who lands

on the Event Space will be involved in a Mini-Event.

Mini-games

There are too many Mini-Games in Sonic Shuffle to list in this instruction manual.

Before each game starts, some brief instructions are displayed. Press the D-Pad

to view different pages and press to start playing. You will either win or lose

rings in a Mini-Game and may also win a Forcejewel.

Result Screens

After the Mini-Game ends, the number of rings that every player lost or won will

be displayed. After this, a second Results Screen will be displayed that shows won

or lost bonus rings in the Mini-Game plus the present rank of every player in the

board game. A player could move from 2nd place to 3rd place by losing lots of

rings in a Mini-Game.

Accident Mini-games

With the exception of 4th Dimension which only has 1, each board has 2 specific

mini-games that will be accidentally triggered at a certain point. Just as with the

other mini-games, the instructions for playing will be displayed on the screen before

the Mini-Game starts.

Mini-events

You must answer a simple question in a Mini-Event with the following

consequences:

1. You may win or lose rings

2. You may receive or lose a Forcejewel

3. You may be moved closer to or further from a Precioustone

4. You may have to miss a certain number of turns

5. You may have to fight a monster in a battle

Jewel Shop Space

You can use rings to buy Forcejewels. The Forcejewels on sale differ from

shop to shop. See Page 17 for more about Forcejewels.

This space is one of the effects of the Eggman card. Landing on this will

trigger a battle with a special monster. Even when you only want to pass over this

There will be a Clear Mini-Game when the last Precioustone has been collected.

chance for every player to win rings to change their overall rank for the board.
