Kangaroo

Mother kangaroo must rescue her Baby, who has been kidnapped and held captive by a nest of nasty monkeys. Mother must hop through various obstacles, jump over or duck the apples thrown at her by the hoodlum monkeys, or punch them out, to reach Baby, imprisoned in a cage at the top of the screen. Along the way she can collect different kinds of fruit for extra points.

There are four rounds per skill level. Each round is complete when Mother rescues her baby, Oh Susannah plays and the word Mom flashes on the screen. As the player advances into higher skill levels, Mother must move more quickly to avoid flying apples and apple cores, as the monkeys become more aggressive and increase in number.

If a player stalls and does not punch any of the monkeys or apples, Big Ape, a giant gorilla wearing boxing gloves, appears. He will steal Mother’s gloves, leaving her temporarily defenseless. Mom’s gloves are returned to her after a few seconds. In the meantime, she must be fast on her feet or risk getting beaned by an apple or punched by one of the monkeys.

• Round 1: there are ladders between each platform on the playfield. Mother must climb up the ladders to reach Baby.
• Round 2: Mother must jump up a series of log steps at different heights to rescue Baby at the top of the screen.
• Round 3: the monkeys form a column with Baby in a cage at the top of the column. Mom must punch out the monkeys and/or leap to higher platforms alongside the cage.
• Round 4: there are long and short ladders which Mother must climb to reach Baby.
