Hints
General
- Hold Power to turn the toy on or off.
- Press Power once to pause/unpause.
- Press i for the main menu, where you can change the volume and other settings.
Game
- The game has 16 stages, with 5 adventures in each stage. If Sam is captured during an adventure, you have to go back to the start of that stage.
- Skip through the story by holding down the A button until you hear the second beep. This skips ahead to the next question. It's very handy if you have to redo an adventure because Sam was captured! But, don't try this when helping Sam (answering a question) or it will select the A option!
- Replay Sam's current description by holding down the B button until you hear the second beep.
- If you don't choose an option, the question and answers will be repeated.
- Listen carefully to Sam's descriptions of what is going on. Sam hints at what options are more likely to succeed.
- The same choice won't always give the same result. You have to be clever and lucky to succeed!
Maths
- To hear the question and answers again, simply don't choose an answer and they will be repeated.
- You are given two tries to answer a question correctly.
- There's a hidden shortcut to the Fixed Topic Menu! Instead of just pressing the i button, hold it down. This gives you a menu where you can input a new topic number or listen to reports on the current fixed topic. See Topics for a list of topic numbers.
Troubleshooting
- Sometimes, bunja gets tired and won't power on. Usually this means the battery needs to be replaced. To replace the battery, remove the screw on the battery cover.
- In rare circumstances, bunja won't power on even with a new battery. If this occurs, take the battery out for a few seconds, then put it back in. Next, hold down the Power button down for 5 seconds. If bunja still doesn't wake up, repeat these steps, but leave bunja to sit for about 5 minutes. This should result in a happy, well-rested bunja.
