You earn points for each burger part you drop down a level. A cooking tip from the chef: Start at the top of the kitchen and work your way down. Drop a burger part down on another and set a food chain going. Add the Food Foes. Lurking in The Pepper Grille are three playful, tricky types of Food Foes--Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Egg and Mr. Pickle--who are cooking up trouble for Chef Peter Pepper. While you're building burgers, keep an eye peeled for these foes. Climb up or down ladders or zip across burger parts to shake them off. Getting creamed! You start cooking with five chefs. If you get nabbed by any of the Food Foes, you lose a chef. So if you get wounded by a weiner or scrambled by an egg, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on cookin' Season with pepper. Spice up your cooking and fight off the Food Foes with a weapon that's nothing to sneeze at--pinches of pepper. When a Food Foe gets too close for comfort. turn to face him. Then press a Side Button or Action Button to fling a pinch of pepper at him. The pepper stuns, but doesn't eliminate the Food Foes. Once they're stunned, you can move right through them. Any Food Foe within range of the pepper can be stunned with one pinch! But try to be as frugal as possible with your pinches of pepper. You only have so many and will need them to get out of sticky situations later on. The higher your skill level, the less pepper you start cooking with, and the more you will need to keep out of the clutches of the Food Foes! Get the drop on the Food Foes. While you're building burgers, earn points by flattening those pesky Food Foes. The more foes you flatten, the more points you earn. To flatten a foe: Wait above him on a level containing a burger part. When the foe is directly underneath the burger part, move left or right across the part, dropping it to flatten the foe. Foil the Food Foes! Those Food Foes really dog your heels. To foil them: Entice more than one foe to follow you. Wait for them to ketchup. Then slowly start across one of the burger parts. When the foes are right behind you, zip across! If you've timed it right, the foes should take a ride down on the burger part! You'll end up with scrambled eggs, flattened hot dogs, and a lot more points! Drop more than two foes on a burger part and they plummet more than one level. Can't keep a good dog down. Watch out--those little critters won't stay down long. After you flatten them or drop them into the kitchen, they quickly pop back up and get back on your trail. Time for a treat! Anyone as hard-working as Chef Peter Pepper deserves treats. From time to time while you're building burgers, tempting treats--ice cream, hot coffee and french fries-appear in the center of The Pepper Grille. Grab them for bonus points and an extra pinch of pepper. But move fast. Delicious treats don't hang around forever! The weiner and still champion! If you make four gourmet burgers for your customers, you earn an extra pinch of pepper for the next round of food wars. Congratulate yourself and relax--but not for too long --you've got more customers waiting! Frankly, my dear .... The hamburgers were good, but now it's time to add cheeseburgers to your menu. You cook them the same way you cook hamburgers. Zip across levels and drop burger parts into the kitchen. The Food Foes are still skulking about--faster than ever. And they've brought in more foes to pursue you! In a real pickle Now you're really cookin' But waiting in the wings is a real dilly--Mr. Pickle! He'll try to make you eat humble pie. Just stay cool as a cucumber and follow your past recipe for success. You'll soon have him eating out of your hand! Bigger and better Your burgers were a big hit with your customers. But greater challenges await you on three more savory scenes. Remember, the more burgers you build, the more Food Foes there are to pursue you--and they just keep on getting faster! So, take care.
