How to Play Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
Quick start
Choose New Game and follow the crash-site opening. The first objective is to move through the jungle toward the distant flares and find the plane cockpit, using the early stages to learn jumping, attacks, vines and the first Heroic moves. Save at the end of every level; quitting before the next save loses the unsaved section.
Controls
Side-scrolling: Left/Right runs, Up looks/aims/climbs vines, Down crouches or descends, A jumps, B attacks, tap L to cycle inventory or hold L to arm it, R uses Heroic abilities and START pauses. Top-down: D-pad runs, B attacks, L cycles/arms inventory, R uses Heroic abilities and START pauses. After unlocking Roll, use R+Left/Right in side view or stand still and press R plus any direction in top-down view.
