The Story of Hook
After becoming a father and respected attorney, Peter Banning never really considered going back to Neverland. In fact, he couldn’t even remember ever being there in the first place.
But when Captain Hook kidnapped his children and took them back to Pirate Town, it was time for Granny Wendy to remind Peter of careless days long ago when he ran with the Lost Boys in the wild Neverland forest, swam under the waterfalls of the blue lagoon, and was known to all…. as Peter Pan.
Now Peter must win back the Golden Sword from his old rival Rufio and rescue his beloved children from Hook and his henchmen.
As Peter Pan, you will encounter many hazards and battle countless foes in your quest to free your children. You will face fierce Pirates, evil skeletons, spiny porcupines, pointy treetops, swarming bees… and all the while you’ll be developing your fighting skills to face the heinous Hook.
Be careful! Neverland is a massive island, and Hook is a shrewd and elusive buccaneer. To survive you must regain your boyhood powers.

THE MAGIC SWORD
The first thing you have to do as Peter Pan is win hack your Golden Sword from Rufio. But remember: the sword is slippery. Each
time you get hit, you will lose the sword. Bot look hard for it as it will pop up again in various places around Neverland. Use the sword as you would your dagger, but try to stand farther away from the enemy-this special Sword shoots star balls your foes cannot withstand.
Nevertree and Neverland
The Island of Neverland is filled with a thousand dangers. Study this map well to learn about the places you will travel on your life-saving quest.
NEVERLAND MAP SCREEN
After every level, the Map Screen appears to let you know where you are. To exit the Map Screen and move on to the next challenge, push the START BUTTON and you will automatically be sent to another unconquered region of Neverland.
THE NEVERTREE
As a grown-up Peter Pan, you have lots to prove to the Lost Boys. The first step is finding your way through the Nevertree and facing Rufio in a duel. If you survive, you win back your Sword, and your honor.
NEVERLAND FOREST
The Neverland Forest is infested with Hook’s henchmen so be careful-they patrol the area from their posts, and there’s not a Pirate in the Land who will pass up the opportunity to challenge you. Remember to keep an eye peeled for cherries, apples and an extra leaf-you’ll need all the energy you can collect. This will be your first chance to prove to the Pirates, and to yourself, that Peter Pan has indeed returned.
NEVERLAND ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Pirates are not known for their hospitality So if barrels start rolling at you take off!!! And watch for your Golden Sword you may find it hidden somewhere in these ancient mountains.
NEVERLAND WATERFALL AND LAGOON
Here’s where you’ll find the lair of the Magic Tigers. Watch out! Their breath will turn you to stone (only temporary). But don’t fret! This dangerous region is abso filled with wonderful things like extra Leaves and 1-Ups
NEVERLAND UNDERGROUND
Once you’ve plunged into the dark, dank caves of the Underground you must find a way back to the bright sun and fresh Neverland air. Always keep an eye over your shoulder-you never know what will creep out of the inky black depths. And beware! These caves are home to the Grant Earthworm. the Night Snake, and other mysterious creatures
NEVERLAND ICE AND SNOW REGION
Watch out for the Tigers of the snow fields. Like their cousins at the Lagoon, their breath will stop you in your tracks Bur again, it’s only temporary. Abo, keep an eye out for snow-hall hocking Pirates and the bolt-throwing Winter Hawk.
NEVERLAND OVER THE FOREST
Flying through the trees will be a true test are you cured of your fear of heights!!! The screen will scroll and set a pace you must keep up with. So be sure to fill your Fly Meter with Pixie Dust every chance you get, and look out for Pirates chasing you in their hot air balloons.
NEVERLAND SKELETON ROCK
The Skeleton Rock has been haunted for as long as any Lost Boy can remember. You will be followed through the caves by a Will-o-Wisp, one of the fire spirits. The fire spirits are harmless, unless you touch them then they will take your life. But don’t leave the spirit if you do, you will lose your sight. And beware of the bones of dead Pirates they will do anything for a chance to pursue and defeat the great Pan ven come hack to life!
PIRATE TOWN
Hook’s Pirate Town is a drain that has skimmed the Pirate scum from all the seven seas. To make it through this city Peter must be entirely confident in his abilities.
PIRATE SHIP
You’re getting close to your children! Be prepared to do a lot of dodging, jumping, flying and fighting. It’s pure madness on the Pirate Ship. You will face a horde of angry, ugly sea dogs-each wanting to defeat you to win the respect of his mates. And watch out for Pirates carrying hundreds of weapons including long swords, daggers and bombs.
HOOK
At Last! Now you’ve cornered Captain Hook-and he’s ready for a dirty fight. Be prepared for a few tricks and a lot of fancy sword fighting. Try to avoid his direct attack. Find a way to maneuver out of his path and don’t let up.
Remember! You must get through Hook to rescue your kids.
Dueling Against Rufio
When you left Neverland, Rufio took your place. And now, many years later, you are back. But Rufio is not about to step aside for Peter Banning -unless you can prove that you are the one, the only, Peter Pan. The only way you can take back the Golden Sword and earn Rufio’s loyalty is to fight him. When Rufio charges, jump over him and immediately turn around to strike him. Do this three times.
Enemies
Pirates aren’t the only ones wanting to destroy you. There’s an island chock full of creatures waiting for the opportunity to down the fearless Pan.
SNAKES
When you were a boy, you used to tie them in knots. And now all the snakes in Neverland are out to get you. Watch out these snakes are poisonous. When they draw back they’re not trying to escape-they’re preparing to strike!
ARROW-SHOOTING PIRATES
Although these Pirates wield bows and arrows, they’re not very good shots. But they do fire three arrows at once, so dodge or cut the arrows with your sword before they hit you.
BALLOON PIRATES
Stay clear because some of Hook’s henchmen attack from hot air balloons. Watch out! They will try to crush you with all kinds of zany weapons-even live powder kegs.
Helpful Reminders
ANOTHER PAN
Look in secret passages. They may lead to an extra life.
JUMP FOR YOUR LIFE
Take big jumps to save your Pixie Dust for when you really need it. Get a running start, then jump.
ON THE STAKE OUT
When you are prowling along the Forest floor, lie and wait for the Pirates. Be patient-hide behind a tree until the Pirate you’re after turns his back then make your attack.
POWER UP
You may be the famous Pan, but you are a little older now and a little out of shape. You’re going to need to have full leaves and power to beat Hook-so pick up all the leaves you can find.
