Maya the Bee & Her Friends

Getting Started: When you start the game, you will see a title screen and a language selection (English, French, German, or Spanish) - pick your preferred language then press Start. The main menu offers options like New Game, Continue, and probably a high score table. Choose New Game to begin. You control Maya the Bee as she moves through side-scrolling levels filled with platforms, flowers, and enemies like spiders and caterpillars. The core goal of each stage is to reach the exit, often located at the far right side. Along the way you can collect honey or other items to increase your score. Enemies can be avoided or sometimes defeated by jumping on them or using a specific action. The game has a simple health system - getting hit by an enemy or obstacle reduces your life bar, and if it empties you lose a life. The D-pad moves Maya left or right, while pressing the A button makes her jump. The B button might be used for a quick dash or to perform a special move depending on the context. Watch out for pits and spiky hazards, and use platforms to reach higher areas. The game saves progress automatically after completing certain levels (if using the saved game feature on cart, though in emulation you may need to use the save state).
