How to Play Daze Before Christmas
Quick start
Move through each Christmas stage collecting presents and freeing trapped elves before reaching the exit. Jump on safe platforms, use Santa’s magic attack on toys and creatures, and strike blocks to reveal bells, stars, or extra health. A cup of coffee turns Santa into Anti-Claus for a short time; use the stronger form to break through danger, but remember his movement and attack behaviour change. In flying stages, keep the sleigh near the middle of the screen so incoming enemies and presents can be approached from either side.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch, climb, and steer the sleigh. A: use Santa’s magic or Anti-Claus’s attack. B: jump. C: use the context action or fire in flying stages. Start: pause. Coffee temporarily changes Santa into Anti-Claus; collect presents, bells, stars, and health items by touching or opening their containers.
