1. Obstacles and Reply List
Every few seconds an Obstacle will appear in the player's path, and the player is given the option to FIGHT, TALK, or JUMP. The player is given no clue as to which obstacle has appeared until after they have made their choice, however, leaving it up to a guessing game. For each obstacle one of the options will grant the player 2 points, one will take away 1 point, and one will leave the player's score unaffected.

This is a list of all the replies you get from various objects after FIGHTing, TALKing, or JUMPing them. If you get a correct response, the game beeps and you earn 2 points. If you get it wrong, it beeps once and you lose a point. Otherwise, it won't beep at all and you earn 0 points.
