Super 3-D Noah’s Ark
Story
It’s been a long journey for Noah and the gang aboard the ark. In just a few days, Noah and his family will be on dry land once again. Unfortunately there is a whole zoo of restless animals who want off the ark more than Noah does. It is up to you to help Noah make the animals go to sleep by feeding them. It’s a big ark with a lot of critters, and around every corner you’ll find a new adventure.
Overview
Use your joy pad to maneuver Noah through various sections of the ark calming the animals down with food. Along the way, you will find bandages to heal yourself, gather fruit for extra turns, and discover secret passages and levels!
Goal
Guide Noah to the staircase at the end of level as quickly as you can. Along the way, help Noah feed as many animals, gather as much fruit and discover as many secrets as possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Starting the Game
The Super 3-D Noah’s Ark cartridge must have a licensed Super Nintendo cartridge “piggy-backed” to it in order to work. Plug the top of the Noah’s Ark cartridge into the bottom of any licensed Super Nintendo cartridge with both labels facing forward. Once connected, plug the joined cartridges into the Super Nintendo unit with the Noah’s Ark cartridge on the bottom.
Turn the Super Nintendo unit on, and a disclaimer screen will appear after a couple of seconds. Following this screen comes the Super 3-D Noah’s Ark title screen.
You may press any button on joy pad 1 to bring up the menu screen. The menu screen has 5 items you may choose by pushing the joy pad UP or DOWN and then pressing A.

The Status Bar
Located on the bottom of the play screen, the status bar provides you will all of Noah’s statistics. While playing the game, pay close attention to Noah’s health and feed count. These numbers are the most important.
-This game is divided into 6 main areas, each containing 3 to 5 sections.
-Collect 50 fruits and earn Noah another chance to play!
-The closer you are to the animals, the more health Noah loses.
-Some doors are locked. Find the right key to unlock them.
-At the end of every level, Noah will be rewarded for the number of animals he fed, how much fruit he collected, how many secret rooms he found, and how fast he finished.
-This number represents the number of chances Noah has left before the game ends. Keep your eyes on Noah’s head, he usually looks in the direction he was last confronted.
-Normally, Noah can only hold 99 units of feed. Find the knapsack, and Noah will be able to carry around much more!
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Animals
Clean Animals
The clean animals were used for food and are found throughout the ark. As Noah, you’ll run into to these troublemakers quite a bit.
Goat * The goats are very quick and can only bother you by kicking at close range.
Sheep * Sheep are relatively slow moving and easy to put to bed. Watch out for their spittle.
Antelope * These guys are quick and their spittle packs quite a wallop! Avoid close contact.
Ostrich * Don’t let these colorful guys fool you. They’re really cranky, fast, and smart.
Ox * The meanest of the clean animals, the ox falls asleep somewhat easily but has strong spittle.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Unclean Animals
The unclean animals must be getting tired of their roommates, because they’re really grouchy. Fortunately for Noah, there are only six to deal with. They appear in the last section of each area.
Level 1-3 Carl the Camel * The undisputed king of the spitting animals, Carl needs quite a bit of food before he’ll take a nap. Remember, patience is a virtue.
Level 2-4 Ginny the Giraffe * She sounds like a friendly giraffe, but we all have our bad days... look around for extra food and bandages, you’ll need ‘em.
Level 3-4 Kerry the Kangaroo * Kerry’s hopping mad and looking for food. Stock up with a strong feed launcher and plenty of feed and see if you can get her to settle down and take a nap.
Level 4-5 Melvin the Monkey * Get ready to dodge coconuts! Melvin expresses his anger a little differently than the rest of the animals. Just be patient and keep feeding him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Level 5-6 Ernie the Elephant * Ernie’s already got his trunk packed and he’s looking for a way off the ark. Tucking him in won’t be so easy... the only thing bigger than his ears is his appetite.
Level 6-6 Burt the Bear * When you first run into Burt, he’ll be semi-hibernating behind a bush... sleepwalking if you will. Once he has enough feed, Burt will really wake up! Burt takes an enormous amount of feed before he’ll nap... after all, he’s been asleep for months. Good luck!
Psst Noah.... Want some help?
The boss levels (the levels with unclean animals) can be quite difficulty. Before approaching the unclean animal, search very carefully for extra feed and bandages. Many times you will find better feed launchers if you search for secret rooms. Do this by pushing BUTTON A on walls. Certain walls open up to secret rooms. Most of the time, but not always, the secret wall will look slightly different than the walls around it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Feed Launchers
To feed the animals so they’ll fall asleep, Noah has a whole host of tools at his disposal. At the beginning of the game, Noah is only equipped with a small feed launcher. Bigger and better ones are found throughout the game.
Hand feeding * This is most dangerous way to feed the animals. Noah only feed by hand when he runs out of regular feed. Look at the bottom right corner of the status bar for Noah’s feed count.
Small Feed Launcher * Noah starts off with this feeder. It’s pretty weak, but it beats feeding the animals by hand.
Larger Feed Launcher * Multiple animal feeding becomes a reality with this flinger. Hold down BUTTON B for rapid feeding.
Super Feeder 5000 * Noah really takes control of the ark with this baby. Be very careful when you’re rapid feeding... the Super Feeder 5000 has a voracious appetite.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Super Launchers
Hidden in the ark, Noah will eventually find the super launchers. There’s no better way to feed a grouchy unclean animal than with one of these two.
Cantaloupe Feeder * The weaker of the two super launchers, the cantaloupe feeder still serves up a powerful tasty mean no animal can resist.
Watermelon Feeder * When you’re out at sea it’s important that everyone gets their allowance of vitamin C. What better way to supply it than with this, the mightiest of all feeders.
Psst Noah.... Want some help?
Pressing the SELECT button will cycle through Noah’s feeders, allowing you to select the appropriate one for the job at hand. This selection option is only noticeable when Noah has one or both of the super launchers. If Noah is not carrying a super launcher, he will automatically use the strongest feeder he is carrying.
The feed for the super launchers is different than the feed for the regular feed launchers. There are actual piles of cantaloupes and watermelons to use with these launchers. Noah’s feed count relates to what launcher he is presently holding.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Items

Bread Crumbs * Adds 4% health.
Small Bandage * Adds 10% health.

Watermelon Pile * Adds watermelons to your collection.

One Up * This gives Noah an extra chance to play and fills his health to 100%!

-------------------------------------------------------------
Noah’s Aid
*At the end of every level, you will be presented with a floor code. Write it down and next time you want to play, enter the floor code from the first menu screen and the game continues from where you left off.
*Look for hidden rooms on every level. Noah can find feeders, extra feed, fruit, and bandages. Just push BUTTON A while pushing against a wall. It it’s a secret wall, it will slide open.
*Somewhere in the ark are 2 secret exits which lead to secret levels. Search carefully, they are hidden well.
*Try to feed all the animals, find all the fruit and all the secrets. At the end of the level you will be greatly rewarded.
*When approaching a new room, open the door, run in and run back out again. This way the animals will see you and come to you through the door (makes it easier to feed ‘em). Not only are they hungry, they’re smart... they will open doors.
