How to Play Circus Charlie
Quick start
Use SELECT to choose 1 PLAYER A for a gentler first show, then press START. In the opening act, move the lion with left and right and press A or B to jump through hoops while clearing the fire pots. Aim for the raised finish platform.
Controls
Left/right move Charlie; on the pony they adjust speed, and on a trapeze they change the swing. A and B both jump, or release the trapeze. SELECT chooses one of four player/difficulty options at the title; START begins or pauses/resumes play.
Circus Charlie — About this game
Charlie has a show to put on, and the Famicom adaptation gives him five very different ways to miss his landing. Ride a lion through burning hoops, clear monkeys on a tightrope, hop between rolling balls, perform tricks from a pony and finally transfer between trapezes. Moving left or right is often as important as jumping: a safer approach can cost time, while a faster one can leave little room to correct a mistake. Remaining bonus points reward a brisk finish. After the fifth act, the show loops with tougher obstacles; mode B offers a harder starting challenge, and two players can take alternating turns at the same scoring contest.
