Tonic Trouble

Getting started: You take control of a character navigating colorful levels filled with platforms and enemies. The core loop involves running, jumping, and using your attack button to defeat foes while collecting items. Watch out for pits and hazards - timing your jumps is key to progressing. Each level ends when you reach a goal point, often after gathering enough collectibles or defeating a boss.

Since this is a GBC adaptation of a 3D game, levels are linear with some branching paths. You can use the Y button (mapped to Z) or X button (mapped to A) for special actions depending on context. Experiment with the controls early to understand the moves available. The game saves progress automatically at certain checkpoints, so you can continue from your last save.
