2.Introduction
---------------

     This was Nintendo's attempt at making an educational game fun. They 
mixed together history and geography with action-adventure gaming. It's 
a great game,and a good teacher, but its lacking in a few areas. But 
otherwise, I know I learned alot from playing, but I don't think it will 
be used in any classrooms anytime soon. 

3.Controls and Overview
------------------------

     It seems Mario was sucked into some kind of time vortex in the 
beginning of the game, and Luigi has to find him and rescue him, with 
the help of Yoshi, by finding missing artifacts in the lands and 
returning them, then answering questions about them. There are a lot of 
lands in the game,??? in all, but they are all pretty static, and all 
the changes is the building and map structure. The controls are as 
follows:

Map Selection Screen
----------------------
Up ( D-Pad) - Enter a land

Level Screen
-------------
START - See Tools
SELECT - Toggles smaller version of city map on screen
Up ( D-Pad) and Down ( D-Pad)- Cross a street ( have to use walkways)
A Button - Talk to people
           Make a selection
B Button - Jump on enemies
Y Button - Dash

4.People
------------

    There are five people that you meet and talk to in each of the 
lands, even though it is not necessary. They all give information to you 
about the land or the artifact you are holding.

1. Professor- Gives good information on the lands with a smarmy attitude

2. Police Officer- Tells you not to do certain things in a city, or 
something along those lines

3. Kid- Whines about his life and how his parents won't let him do 
something.

4. Buisness Woman- Gives good information on the lands, and then says 
something dumb

5. Tourist- Usually refers to his tour book for info, uses stupid 
sayings about the land.

5. Tools
-------------

    When you hit the Start button in a level, a menu pops up with the 
following things : Artifacts, Computer, Globtron, City Map, and Photo 
Center.

Artifacts - Displays the artifacts you currently have

Computer - Displays all the quests in a land you have done so far. To 
complete a level, all you have to do is find the artifact and return it 
to its original place.

Globulator - Displays a world map, and shows all the lands you have 
completed so far. To exit a level, use the Globulator to move to the 
spot on the world map where the city is, and then go to the blue pipe 
where the cactus is. Thanks to Chris Horkins for the info.

City Map - Shows a map of the city, and points out where all the enemies 
are, the information centers, the people, the landmarks and the 
starting-ending pipe.

Photo Center - Visit an information center after replacing an artifact, 
and you will receive a photo of the landmark.

6. Walkthrough
-----------------------

  There are five doors in a room, with a land being in each of them. 
After you get all the artifacts in a land, move Yoshi to the city where 
you are and then go to the cactus to exit the level. When I list the 
lands, I list them from the one closest to the boss to the one farthest 
away.

   In 1508 Pope Julius II comissioned the artist, Michelangelo, to 
decorate             the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. 
He wasn't used to             painting on plaster. It took Michelangelo 
over 4 years to finish painting             the 10,000-square-foot 
ceiling. Much of the painting had to be done in an             
uncomfortable position. The artist was either lying on wooden scaffolds,             
or loking straight up. The Chapel's ceiling is breathtakingly beautiful.                
It is considered Michelangleo's masterpiece.
