Moigle's got this crazy contraption he's building in the garage, but it appears he's short a couple of pieces. The missing components are somewhere in the junkyard and I've got to help him find them. And he's going to have to help me a lot! Moigle's bigger, stronger and faster than I am, so if we're going to succeed, I'll have to get Moigle to do the right things. I can't do it all on my own. Speaking of work, I shouldn't have to tell you that we've got our work cut out for us. From that evil Baron Malodorous and his Commando kittens to the strange things scattered throughout the junkyard, Moigle and I will be keeping ourselves VERY busy. Never mind the fact that Moigle can get pretty darn emotional! Keeping an eye on his emotions is pretty easy though. You might think that when he's just standing around or playing with his yo-yo that he's just passing time, and partially you're right. But if you watch what Moigle's doing, you can pick up on how happy/angry/sad/afraid the big lug is. Yep, things are never boring around Moigle, that's for sure. "Hey there, what's tootin? My name's Hoigle, and my In Floigan Brothers`, you take the role of Hoigle Floigan. To get most of the objectives accomplished during the game, you'll need the help of your brother Moigle. Play games with him, point stuff out to him, and teach him new skills ­ all to get him to do what you want. But sometimes, you may have to do something Moigle wants before he'll do something for you. meet moigle my name is Moigle. My brother Hoigle is the best. But I have to watch out for him. He's always asking me to do stuff for him. He says that I know everything, so I guess that's why I'm the genius. I'm building a top secret project and the pieces I need for it are scattered across our junkyard. Now, if Hoigle can just help me find where I put them...

Angering Moigle? Okay. If you want to make Moigle mad, you've got a couple of ways you can do it. The first way is to knock him around with a few punches. Be careful though, the big galoot will pound you into the size of a baseball and send you flying if he gets his hands on you. But keep in mind that Moigle's my brother, and I'm not going to want to make him mad all the time (how else am I going to get him to do the things I want?). This means that I'll have to play with him from time to time, give him some of my points, or--all in the name of brotherly love--give him a hug! Hoigle can point at things to make Moigle interested in them. If there isn't anything there, Moigle will move to that spot. After pressing the Yellow X button, use the joystick to move the yellow arrow around, then press A to get Moigle's attention. Press B to cancel. The X button is also a "Use" button for any item that has a use while Hoigle is holding it. For example, press X to make Hoigle wear a mask.

I usually give the little pip-squeak a warning, but sometimes he doesn't realize how far he's pushing me! He should know not to toy with my feelings! Either he's punchin' me to make me mad or insulting me to make me cry. I tell ya, if he didn't give me apples and candy now and then, I'd--POWBANG-BOOM--let him have it. "Darn it all!

The sign posted next to a gate will tell you which lever opens it. You'll just have to find the lever. There are also some pipes in the junkyard. Who knows where they might lead... MAIN MENU From the main menu, you can select from one of five options. "Cookies !" will whisk you off to a very entertaining training session in the Floigan Kitchen (see page 14). "Moigle's Secret" allows you to begin the main adventure in the game once you've completed the kitchen. "Restore Game" will only appear if a saved game exists on your current VMU-choose this option to continue your adventure. "Go Online" will allow you to begin an online session where you can chat with other Floigan Brothers players and trade Moigles (see page 15). Choose "Options" if you would like to configure the various elements of the game. 12 13 FloiganBrosManual.Miles_18 6/22/01 10:14 AM Page 14 the kitchen The Kitchen is where you will learn how Hoigle and Moigle interact. Moigle wants to bake a giant chocolate chip cookie and it's up to you to help him figure it out. Listen to what he's asking for and it should be a piece of cookie, I mean cake! The Kitchen is highly recommended for those new to the Floigan Experience. If you don't have any save game files on your VMU, you will want to play through the Kitchen to learn the ropes before you move on to the junkyard. going online Floigan Brothers allows you to interact with other players across the Internet with the built in Online capabilities of your Sega Dreamcast. While online, you can chose from the following options: CHAT . . . . . . . . . this is where you go to chat with other players about floigan brothers. share hints and tips with your fellow players with the chat option.

Junkyard is where we run our business. And today the first order of business is helping Moigle build his big surprise. The seven missing parts are scattered around the junkyard somewhere. Keep an eye out for the missing pieces, and watch for Moigle's little mouse friends--they'll hold up signs to give you hints about where to go and what to do next. "The TRADE . . . . . . . if you've missed a fmt, you can still see what happened. FEATURES go online and trade for it with someone else.

If your Dreamcast does not contain any ISP information, just select "Go Online" at the main menu and fill out the necessary fields. Floigan Brothers makes it easy to jump online!. Offer bombs to Moigle (he can throw much further). And don't get overly stressed-a bomb will never explode once it's in Moigle's hands. USING DIZZY PADS Dizzy Pads can be very useful. For instance, when in the kitchen--to get the chocolate, Hoigle should get Moigle to stand on the Dizzy Pad. Then Hoigle should run 'round and around Moigle. If Hoigle runs around fast enough, Moigle will get dizzy and faint. And then Hoigle can bounce on his belly like a trampoline to jump up to high places. 16 17 FloiganBrosManual.Miles_18 6/22/01 10:14 AM Page 18 HINT When jumping on Moigle's belly, keep pressing the A Button each time you land on Moigle to make Hoigle jump even higher! when you see a crate, you need to get moigle in the right mood. when moigle is in the right mood, the crate will open up to show a pad. move hoigle onto the pad, and watch as moigle does something cool! PLAYING GAMES WITH MOIGLE CRATES As you adventure around the junkyard, you will notice that there are four different kinds of crates. They are red, blue, green, and yellow. Each box will react to a specific mood that Moigle is in. Red boxes open up when Moigle is ANGRY. Blue boxes open up when Moigle is SAD. Green boxes open up when Moigle is VERY, VERY HAPPY! And Yellow boxes open when Moigle is AFRAID. A happy Moigle will do just about anything for his brother Hoigle. But a sad or bored Moigle will be more likely to stand around. So how can you make Moigle happy? Play a game with him of course! Bring up the Speak Menu by pressing the Green Y Button and select "Play?". You can then select from a variety of different games. At first you can only play High Five, but as you earn more points, you'll be able to teach Moigle all sorts of things (and some of those are more games). 18 19 FloiganBrosManual.Miles_18 6/22/01 10:14 AM Page 20 PLAYING HIGH FIVE Playing High Five with Moigle is fairly straightforward ­ watch where Moigle puts his hands and follow his lead. Press up, down, right or left depending on where Moigle's hands are, and then press the Red A button if he wants you to give him five (one hand) or the Blue to win, but remember--if you miss three times, the mini-game is over! "There're all kinds of games Moigle will play with me. Sometimes I have to cheat to win, but hey, the job's gotta get done. Points are important. I need lots of them in order to teach Moigle new things, and they don't come easy. Moigle will give me some of his if I help him find the parts he needs or if I do nice things for him. B button to give him ten (two hands). Try your best TEACHING MOIGLE " HINT When you win a game with Moigle, you earn points. The more points you have, the easier it is to bribe Moigle into doing something you want. You'll also be able to go to the Speak -> Teach menu where you can teach Moigle to do new things. From this menu you can teach Moigle to play new games like Tag and Hide and Seek. You can also teach him to do nifty things like lifting you up to high places--just remember: you'll need to feed Moigle apples to put him in the right "learning" mood. 20 21 FloiganBrosManual.Miles_18 6/22/01 10:14 AM Page 22 But you'll need points to teach Moigle tricks, so you better play lots of games with him and help him find his missing machine parts.
