Before Starting The Game
When using the Virtual boy, several adjustments must be made before starting
the game. For your health and safety, be certain to perform these adjustments
each time you play. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, be sure to wear
them while using the Virtual Boy.
Insert the Game Pak into the Virtual Boy, then turn the POWER switch located
on the front of the controller to the ON position. When the screen pictured to
the right appears, continue with the IPD and FOCUS adjustments.
Press the START button to display the "IPD and FOCUS adjustment screen." Both
adjustments are made using this screen.
Page 05
IPD Adjustment
This adjustment sets Virtual Boy to the distance between your eyes (the Inter
Pupil Distance).
While looking at the adjustment screen, turn the IPD dial located on top of the
Virtual Boy until you can see a mark in all four corners of the screen, as
shown on the screen to the right.
The best adjustment may allow you to see only three marks, or four slightly
blurred marks. When you have completed the IPD adjustment, proceed with the
FOCUS adjustment.
Page 06
Focus Adjustment
This adjustment makes sure that you see the game image in the Virtual Boy
display clearly.
Move the FOCUS slider to the CENTER POSITION as marked on the housing. For
most people, the center position should give you the clearest image. If the
image is still fuzzy, then adjust the FOCUS slider right or left until the
image is sharp and clear.
Page 07
Automatic Pause Function
All Virtual Boy Game Paks contain an automatic pause function.
After completing the PD and FOCUS adjustments, press the START button and the
screen pictured at right will appear. The automatic pause is preset to the ON
position. Nintendo recommends that you ALWAYS set the automatic pause to ON.
To override the setting, use left or right on the Left Control Pad, then press
the START button to begin the game.
After continuously playing "Mario Clash" for 15 minutes (or after each level
is completed), the game will automatically pause. Please take a break and give
your eyes some rest. After your rest is completed, press the START button to
restart the game.

Each time you defeat an enemy, the mushroom counter will decrease. When the
number reaches 0, a mushroom will appear.

Defeating Enemies
Basics Tactics
If you jump on a Koopa, he will be stunned and will withdraw into his shell.
If you approach the shell, you will pick it up.
While holding the shell, press either the Right Control Pad or A Button to
throw it. If the shell hits the enemy, you can knock it off.
Important Point!
Defeat multiple enemies at one time to get bonus points! The more you knock
off, the higher your score!
Page 17
Advanced Tactics
To defeat certain enemies, their weak points must be hit more than once. Stun
him, then let him turn around. Hit him again to finish him off. Each enemy has
a different weak point.
Important Point!
*Hit enemies on the opposite ledge. Repeatedly catch the shell as it bounces
back and it will begin to shine. Shining shells will fly a long distance and
can be used to defeat enemies that are far away.
*When there is only one enemy left in a stage, it will move faster.
Page 18
Scoring
Every time you stun or defeat an enemy, points will be added to your score.
Jump on Koopa ............... 10 points.
Defeat Fire or Ice .......... 50 points.
Stun an enemy ............... 100 points.
Defeat an enemy ............. 500 points.
If you stun and defeat multiple enemies with one throw, their point values
will increase as follows: 500, 500 X 2, 500 X 3, and so on.
Bonus points
*When a stage is cleared, bonus points may be awarded. The number of points
depends on the number of enemies you have defeated in a group.
*If you clear a stage without making any mistakes, a time bonus (10pointsX
time remaining) will be added to your score.
Page 19
Important Point!
*Touch a mushroom to begin "Fever Time." A single shell will defeat any enemy
while it's "Fever Time," and any points you score will be double!!
*Any mistakes made will end "Fever Time."
*When a certain stage is cleared, there is a bonus chance that allows you to
get coins. The more coins you get, the more Bonus Chance points you receive.
*If you can get all the coins, you will get an extra Mario as a
perfect bonus.

Enemy Characters
Koopa
If you jump on a Koopa, it will withdraw into its shell. You can throw the
shell after picking it up. Koopas are the only thing you can jump on and throw.
But, after a short time, they will revive, so be careful!
Spike
If you throw a shell at him, you can knock him off. He is the weakest of your
enemies.
Thorny
Thorny is protected by his three horns. He can not be knocked down with one
hit.
Page 21
Para Boomba
This enemy jumps, making it hard to hit with a shell, so aim well.
Lobb
They will throw Iron Balls at Mario, so watch out!
Sidestepper
His scissor claws will block a thrown shell. His only weakness is to hit him
on the stomach.
Big Boo
She floats in the air and is hard to hit. When Big Boo becomes transparent,
she cannot be hit. A shell will simply pass through without damaging her.
Page 22
Snake
She multiplies by producing eggs. Watch out for trouble.
Pokey
He shrinks if you hit his body with a shell. His weak point is his head.
Along with the enemies, there are other hazards that will interfere with you.
Fire
It appears suddenly. Be quick to avoid it.
Ice
It appears in the frozen room.
Page 23
Important Point
When your score reaches 50,000 points, 100,000 points... Your remaining Marios
will increase by one. Take aim and set your sights on a high score.
Good Luck!
