Dora the Explorer - Dora Saves the Mermaids — About this game
Dora and Boots need to return Mariana's Magic Crown so Mermaid Kingdom can be cleaned again. Their journey crosses the beach, Seashell Bridge and Pirate Island before Dora swims to the rescue. Short missions ask you to drag rubbish into a bag, find buried treasure, count the route across a bridge and help the Pirate Piggies dance. Running sections mix lane changes with jumps over obstacles. Story Mode connects these activities, while Play Any Game revisits mini-missions outside the story's shouting sequences. Listen to each instruction, use Map to pick the next place and let the changing tasks guide your touch-screen actions.
