Game Introduction
You are Circus Charlie and are performing for the crowd. There are six different acts – each with their own hazards.
This game has two different versions. One version lets you select which level you wish to play right from the beginning – even playing the same level over and over – while the other version requires you to complete the six different levels in order before giving you the level select screen. You can only play each level six times before it locks you out of that level.
A bonus countdown determines how much bonus you get at the end of the level.
Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs
Fire Rings: Successfully jumping backwards through a fire ring will cause the next ring to appear onscreen to be replaced by a Charlie doll which will award an extra life. Jumping 3 times before jumping through the first ring will accomplish the same thing. Only one free life per level, but you can play the level 6 times to get 6 free lives.
Fire Rings: Jumping backwards over a firepot will sometimes cause a coin to shoot up out of the pot. Jump forward again to get the coin before it falls back into the pot. If you miss it, it will not appear again. This happens only once per level, and the firepot is chosen randomly.
Fire Rings: If you get all of the possible money bags and the hidden coin, when you arrive at the finish a bird will come out and shower you with bonus coins. This happens only if you have made no misses in that level.
Tightrope: If you jump over both the brown and purple monkeys at once, you get a 1000-pt bonus.
Tightrope: If you perform perpendicular jumps over all monkeys and complete the level without dying, a bird will bring a Charlie doll and you get an extra player.
