How to Play Super Pitfall
Quick start
Use SELECT at the title to choose the player option, then press START. Walk with left/right, jump with A and shoot with B. Inspect ledges before dropping into unfamiliar passages. Jump on safe ground to search for invisible supplies, and save ammunition where an enemy can be avoided. Look for the key and medicine needed to rescue your companions, then plan a route back.
Controls
D-pad left/right: move. Up/down: climb or swim vertically; down also ducks on land. A: jump, combined with left/right for a moving jump. B: fire in the direction Harry faces. SELECT: choose one or two players at the title. START: begin; pause/resume during play.
Super Pitfall — About this game
Super Pitfall combines platforming with a search-and-return adventure. Harry must recover the Raj diamond, free Quickclaw using a hidden key and restore the petrified Rhonda with medicine. Completing those tasks is only part of the journey: he must also return to the starting point. Ladders, underwater passages and concealed transport points connect the caverns, while hostile creatures and lethal terrain make careless exploration costly. Many useful objects appear only when you jump at particular locations. Ammunition is limited, so evasion and crouching can matter as much as shooting. Keep track of junctions and discovered items rather than treating every new screen as another stage to rush through.
