Introduction

Things have been odd around Club Penguin lately – much stranger than usual! After a series of mysterious tests, you have been chosen to join the ranks of the Elite Penguin Force. The EPF is a select group of highly talented Club Penguin secret agents who solve the toughest, most puzzling mysteries. Led by the secretive Director and assisted by uniquely trained puffles, they are Club Penguin's most elite secret agents.

Your first job as an Elite Penguin Force agent will be to figure out what happened to "G", the gadget guru who invents the EPF's wonderful gadgets. Could that mystery be connected to all the strange happenings around the island? As an EPF agent, it is your mission to find out!

Getting Started

1. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF.
2. Insert the Disney Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force Game Card in the Nintendo DS™™ slot.
3. Turn the POWER switch ON.
4. Please read and accept the Health and Safety screen by touching the bottom screen.
5. If the game does not automatically launch, select the Disney Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force game icon from the DS launch screen.

Menu Controls

Use the DS Touch Screen and stylus to select and choose items on the menus. You can also use the +Control Pad and the A and B Buttons to get around the menus.

Menu Controls: Use the Touch Screen to select menu controls with your stylus or finger.

Game Controls

The Main Menu

After you have created a penguin, you will be able to access the Main Menu – and the rest of Club Penguin.

Use the stylus or your wingtip on the Touch Screen to select EPF Missions, Mini Games, Multiplayer, and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Bonus!

Look for a secret code on the back of your Elite Penguin Force agent card included with your game. Then go to www.clubpenguin.com and enter your code to unlock cool new items online!

EPF Missions

Some secret missions were too hard for the average Penguin Secret Agent to solve, so the Director created a special group of super talented agents – the Elite Penguin Force. Click here to complete these challenging EPF missions.

Club Penguin Mini Games

You will find some of your favorite Club Penguin mini games here. Better yet, you will unlock even more mini games as you complete missions and as you solve mysteries. Best of all, coins you earn while competing in mini games can be spent on clothing and accessories in the game or transferred to your Club Penguin online account.

Multiplayer

This opens the Multiplayer Menu where you can join or create a multiplayer session with a nearby Nintendo DS.™

Upload/Download

Connect to Club Penguin Online via Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection, where you can upload coins from your DS to your Club Penguin Account, download the latest Club Penguin Newsletter, participate in the latest Club Penguin poll, and download special missions as they become available.

You will need to have a Club Penguin player account. If you do not have one, please go to www.clubpenguin.com.

Gadgets

Spy Gadget

G has invented a lot of gadgets for the Elite Penguin Force, and you will be using them all, but none is more valuable than the Spy Gadget.

Two-Way Communicator

With the Two-Way Communicator, you can talk to other EPF agents, wherever they happen to be.

Decoder

This device allows you to decode scrambled messages. Or you can use it to create coded messages of your own.

Spy Log

The Spy Log keeps track of an agent's to-do list, important clues, and conversations during missions.

Gadgets (Continued)

Mechano-Duster

Agents use the Mechano-Duster to clean up snow, grime, paint and dust from objects to reveal what lies beneath.

HQ Jump Button

The HQ Jump Button is the quickest way to get to that most mysterious place of all – EPF Headquarters.

Trekker Call

The Spy Gadget can call the Trekker to a specific location with just the touch of a button.

Custom Gadget

For some of your missions, G will provide you with custom gadgetry. Here's where you will find them on the Spy Gadget.

Other Gadgets

Puffle Whistle

This whistle summons Spy Puffles in up to seven ultra-sonic color frequencies from anywhere in Club Penguin. Unlike the Two-Way Communicator, the whistle's range is not obstructed by walls or weather.

Super Power Flashlight

Once you get this you'll never find yourself in the dark again.

Map

You can open the map at any time by tapping the Map icon in the upper right corner of the Touch Screen.

Warp Locations

Click on the location to warp to it, or, if you are one hop away, click to waddle to it.

Tips and Tricks

Spy Puffles

Spy Puffles are a lot like Puffles in Club Penguin online, except here they are enhanced with special abilities. There are seven Spy Puffles, each with its own special ability. Use the Puffle Whistle to call one to your side during a mission.

Talking to Other Penguins

Your neighbors have a lot of information – talk to them to find out what they know. During a conversation, you can choose what to say by selecting from several possible comments. Once you have chosen a comment, select it by tapping it with your stylus.

Minor Mysteries

In addition to your main mission, many of your friends and neighbors will also need your help. Help them whenever you can! A good deed is always its own reward, but you never know when a good deed will be rewarded with something extra special!

Pausing

If you need a break, press START to open the Pause Menu. Tap Continue to return to the show, or tap Quit to exit to the Main Menu.

Saving

Once you create a Club Penguin profile, the game saves automatically after every completed mission, so you don't have to!

Multiplayer

You can use the wireless connection capability of your Nintendo DS™™ to connect to another Nintendo DS™™ player and compete against one another in Club Penguin DS mini games. Or you can share cool new missions and other stuff for Club Penguin DS.

DS to DS Mini games

If both players have copies of Disney Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force, then you will be able to compete head-to-head in several Club Penguin mini games:

• Snowboarding
• Jet Pack Adventure
• Dance Challenge

Once both players have joined, select a mini game to play, and then select game level and difficulty.

Command Coach

Command Coach is a multiplayer mode in which one player can help another in the Elite Penguin Force missions. The player that chooses to 'Host' will get to play the role of the Agent. The player that chooses to 'Join' will get to play the role of the Command Coach. The Command Coach helps the Agent by drawing hints and circling objects that the Agent cannot see. The Agent controls the game as normal and is able to see hints that the Coach draws on their own screen. While in Command Coach mode each player gets to play the Mini Games individually. The Mini Games end when one of the players finishes.
