* IMPORTANT, SKANNERZ COMMANDER WILL NOT
WORK WITH ORIGINAL SKANNERZ.*
Still saving the universe, one monster
at a time!
Hi, this is Flux! I'm the one who first found out
that our world is being invaded by alien monsters
from another planet. While battling each other,
they destroyed their own world, so it's up to us to
make sure they don't do the same to Earth! All of
them are hiding in our Bar Codes just waiting for
the chance to strike, so I hope you're up to the
challenge. Remember, the fate of our world
depends on us!
So far, we've done a great job catching these
monsters and keeping them occupied by having
them fight each other in the special controllers I
designed. Well… things have changed! I’ve
discovered all new monsters deep within the
codes that don’t follow old rules. These
monsters only look out for themselves and don’t
care about the old tribes. They want to start new
tribes!
Now it's up to us to capture ALL of these
monsters and keep them busy by creating our
OWN tribes!
I'm going to guide you through the functions of
the NEW controller I've designed. Stick with me,
and we'll make sure these creatures don't have
the chance to battle anyone except each other!
What you need to know before you
begin
By scanning UPC codes (bar codes) from
common household products, this special
Skannerz unit can collect up to 53 monsters and
25 items! The monsters are divided into three
categories: Tech, Power, and Magic. Each
category has its own strengths and weaknesses
and the items are divided into these categories
as well, but can only be used by a monster in that
same category.
Many of the creatures will join your tribe
voluntarily, when you scan them. But many more
will refuse to join, and you must defeat them in
battle in order to add them to your tribe. Also, if
you banished a monster from your tribe, it will
hold a grudge against you and be harder to
defeat the next time you scan it.
Buttons and Features
Directional Pad - This four-way button helps you
scroll through things like: the Main Menu, your
collection of monsters, and your inventory of
items. It also lets you pan across a monster
pictured in your view screen (when a monster is
selected).
Secret Flux Hint: You can press the "left"
direction of the Directional Pad to return to the
main menu at almost any time.
On - “A” button - Use this to turn on the
controller and to make selections (just like an
"enter" button). When a monster is selected, this
button also lets you see all information about the
monster.
“B” button - Press this button to back out of any
selection to the previous screen.
Pan button - When a monster is selected, press
this button then use the Directional Pad to pan
across the entire image of the monster.
Sound On / Off - From the Main Menu, choose
"sound", then use the Directional Pad and the
On - A button to turn the sound On or Off.
Contrast - From the Main Menu, choose
"contrast", then use the Directional Pad to adjust
the contrast on the view screen. Just
remember, the lighter the contrast is, the
longer your controller's batteries last.
Reset button - When a blunt point is inserted,
this resets the controller to its original settings.
Just remember, when you press this button,
all your monsters and player data is cleared.
Sleep Mode - After 60 seconds of inactivity, your
controller will automatically go into "sleep mode".
To turn it on again, simply press the On - A
Button and the controller will return to the last
screen you were viewing.
Getting Started
First, you will be prompted to enter your name
into your controller. Using the Directional Pad,
toggle through the alphabet and select the letters
using the On - A Button. The B Button takes
you back one letter.
Let's Start Collecting Monsters!
From the Main Menu, select the "Scan" option.
The screen will read, "Ready to Scan" and the
Scanning Port at the top of the game will
become active for 10 seconds.
Grab any household product that has a UPC
code printed on it. It can be a box of cereal, a
book, or a new toy. You know, anything that has
to be scanned at a store check out counter.
Place the Scanning Port directly onto the
surface of the product, in front or behind the bar
code, and slide it over the code from left to right
or right to left. When the code is read, the
controller will beep and a line with a "heart beat"
will appear. If it is a "small" heart beat, the code
wasn't scanned properly, try again. If a "large"
heart beat appears, you definitely picked up
something! If you get a "Flat Line", there's no
sign of life and you should select another product
to scan.
Secret Flux Hint: Flat surfaces are the easiest
to scan. It takes more practice and skill to scan
round or odd-shaped surfaces. Just remember
to always keep the Scanning Port flat against the
surface when scanning. Skannerz works best
with full sized bar codes. See example below.
You may have difficulty scanning smaller bar
codes.
