How to Play Spy vs. Spy
Quick start
On the option screen, use SELECT to choose TRAINING, set LEVEL 1 with Left/Right and press START. Practice finding the briefcase and one required item. Face a door or piece of furniture and press A to interact. B cycles through four traps and then the map; press B again after the map to return to normal play. In a full match, collect all four required items in the briefcase before escaping.
Controls
D-pad: move around the room. A: interact with the object you face, set a selected trap, or fight in combat. B cycles dynamite, spring, water bucket, time bomb, map and normal play. SELECT chooses the mode; Left/Right sets levels 1–8. START begins play and pauses/resumes the game.
Spy vs. Spy — About this game
Escape the embassy with secret papers, a passport, money and a key packed into your briefcase. Spy vs Spy makes searching a building into a contest of memory and misdirection. Each spy has a separate view, but both act at the same time. Search furniture for the required items and find the briefcase so you can carry them together. Bombs, springs and door-mounted buckets let you delay your opponent, while a map helps track rooms worth visiting. Meeting in one room can lead to a fight instead of another search. Winning takes more than fast movement: watch where the other spy goes, remember suspicious furniture and leave enough time to get out with everything.
