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 adjustments 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 for corners of the screen, as
shown 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 on the housing. For most
people, the center position should give you the clearest image. If the image
is still fuzzy, adjust the FOCUS slider right or left until the image is sharp
and clear.

Automatic Pause Adjustment
All Virtual Boy Game Paks contain an automatic pause function. After
completing the IPD and FOCUS adjustments, press the START button and the

To override the setting, use < or > on the left +Control Pad, then press the

I, Wario, have an interesting story to tell. One day during my vacation in the
Amazon river basin, I landed my trusty seaplane, Bulldog, and decided to relax
in the shadow of the beautiful Aldegara Waterfall. While basking in the sun, I
spied some strange creatures with masks entering the waterfall. This piqued my
interest!
I hurried over and followed them into the waterfall. Behind the falls there
was a large cave, and in the back of the cave ... there was a vault filled
with a glorious mountain of treasure!!
Some of the masked creatures jumped me, but I quickly overcame them. "This
treasure is all mine now!", I thought to myself and rushed in to collect the
loot. Suddenly, the floor collapsed and I fell!
I found myself deep within the Earth! I was quite angry and vowed revenge on
these creatures, "I will get their treasure!!!"
