OBJECT
Brush off your ace piloting skills because you're about to take off on a
hair-raising adventure: air surveillance of enemy territory. This means
an 11,000 mile obstacle course through ever-changing terrain...over
craggy mountain tops, around tall city buildings, through long jagged
tunnels. And that isn't all! The course is just rigged with
chopper-stopping weapons like igniting rockets, heavy ground artillery,
flobbynoids and flying saucers.
Every 1,000 miles of terrain brings ever-increasing challenges and
ever-certain...danger. But a handsome payoff lies at the end of the
course for anyone who's got what it takes.
SETTING THE CONSOLE CONTROLS
1. Make sure the cartridge is placed firmly into the cartridge slot.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. You'll see "PARKER BROTHERS PRESENTS
Konami's SUPER COBRA".
3. Press the keypad button on either hand-held controller. You'll see
"PLAYERS?".
4. Press either no. 1 or no. 2, depending on whether you're playing a 1-
or 2-player game.
5. Then you'll see "LEVEL?". Press the number of the level at which you
wish to play. (See GAME SELECTION).
6. Press any keypad button to start the action.
NOTES: At any time during the game, you may press reset to begin again,
starting with the level and number of players options.
THE AUTOMATIC PILOT: If you'd like to review the entire obstacle course
before actually playing the game, you may do so by pressing keypad button
no. 5 when you see "LEVEL?".
THE HAND-HELD CONTROLLERS
Use the directional disc on the hand-held controller to fly your chopper
up, down, and to the right. When you fly left, the chopper "hovers".
To fire chopper bullets: press either top fire button OR press keypad
button no. 1.
To drop bombs: press either bottom fire button OR press keypad no. 3.
The remaining keypad buttons also activate the chopper's firing systems
(bullets and bombs). Some ace chopper pilot's, however, recommend that
you use the fire buttons and keypads no. 1. and no. 3. for accurate
firing control.
PLAYING
As soon as the game begins, start to fly your chopper down screen to the
right. The object is to avoid the obstacles that border around the
chopper's air route in order to gain mileage. Hit an obstacle, and the
chopper goes down.
In addition to gaining mileage, try to shoot down for points the weapons
scattered throughout the course. You'll find six different types of
weapons: ground artillery, straight rockets, arc missiles, flobbynoids,
roof bombs, and flying saucers. The type of weapon you'll find and
whether it's activated or not will depend on the level at which you're
playing. Just remember: dodge it's fire, don't run your chopper into
it, and try to shoot it down for points.
When you lose a chopper, the next one comes up close to where the last
one went down.

FUEL TANKS
Your fuel monitor is at the top of the screen. Keep an eye on it because
if your fuel runs out, your chopper is out of luck. You can replenish
your fuel supply by hitting a fuel tank with chopper fire. As the fuel
depletes to a dangerous level, you'll see "FUEL CRITICAL". This tells
you to hit a tank fast in order to keep flying.
THE OBSTACLE COURSE
The obstacle course is made up of 11 different sections of terrain.
Every time your chopper enters a new section of terrain, the screen will
show that you've cleared another 1,000 miles.
Each section of the obstacle course shows not only different terrain -
tunnels, city buildings, or mountains - but also displays various
combinations of active and inactive weapons. Here's a rundown of what
you'll encounter in each section:
Section 1: straight rockets, ground artillery active.
Section 2: arc missiles, ground artillery active.
Section 3: ground artillery, flobbynoids active; straight rockets inactive.
Section 4: ground artillery, flobbynoids active; straight rockets inactive.
Section 5: ground artillery, roof bombs active.
Section 6: ground artillery, straight rockets active.
Section 7: ground artillery, straight rockets active.
Section 8: ground artillery, flying saucers active; straight rockets inactive.
Section 9: ground artillery, arc missiles active, straight rockets inactive.
Section 10: ground artillery, straight rockets active.
Section 11: Here's where the booty lies. Ground artillery and arc
missiles active.
NOTE: Fuel tanks are found in all sections.
THE BOOTY
When you reach section 11, the object is to pick up the booty by swooping
down and landing on it. If you can accomplish this and reach the end of
the course, you'll see "CONGRATULATIONS". In a moment, you'll begin
again at section 1.
If you should pass over the booty without picking it up, you'll see
"CHALLENGE AGAIN". This means you'll go back to the beginning of section
11 with no loss of helicopter.
END OF GAME
The game ends when you run out of choppers.
If you press ENTER while "GAME OVER" and the score is being displayed,
you'll start again at the same section where the last chopper went down.
Your score, however, will be reset at zero.
Note: If "GAME OVER" is displayed for more than 30 seconds, you'll get
AUTOMATIC PILOT.
To play again beginning with game options: press any keypad button except
ENTER.
TWO-PLAYER GAMES
In a two-player game, the left player goes first; players alternate
turns. Your turn ends when you lose a chopper. The game ends once both
players have lost their last chopper.
