Are you ready to save the universe?
Hi, this is Flux! I’m the one who first found out
that our planet is being invaded by alien
monsters from another planet. I’m really glad
you’re here to help me in my fight to capture
and control these creatures. While battling
each other, they destroyed their own planet, so
it’s up to us to make sure they don’t do the
same to Earth. All of them are hiding in our
barcodes just waiting for the chance to strike,
so I hope you’re up to the challenge.
Remember that the fate of our world depends
on us!
Now, I’m going to guide you through the
functions of the controller I 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
You have one of three different coloured
controllers. The blue controller captures and
controls the Zendra tribe of alien monsters.
The green controller controls the Pataak tribe.
And the red one is for the Ujalu tribe. Any
“incompatible” monsters you may scan or
battle can only be captured using one of the
other two tribes’ controllers.
Secret Flux Hint: Each controller is capable of
collecting the 42 monsters from its particular
tribe. But if you want to help me capture as
many monsters as possible, you’ll have to get
the other two controllers.
Along with the controller, you have special
collector’s cards that have information about
each of your tribe’s monsters. They tell you
what particular kind of monster it is (Tech,
Power, or Magic) and how much damage they
can give as well as take. There is also a comic
book that tells you how everything began and
how this threat found its way to our world.
Now, let’s learn about your special Skannerz
controller!
Button Functions
The button configuration I came up with is very
simple:
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 viewscreen (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.
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.
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.
Player
Displays your “name” and battle record.
Getting Started
First, you will be prompted to enter your name
into your controller. Using the Directional
Pad, toggle through the characters and select
them using the On • A button. The B button
takes you back one letter.
Now Let’s Start Collecting Monsters!
From the Main Menu, select the “Scan” option
and press the On • A button. The screen will
read, “Ready to Scan” and the Scanning Port
at the front of the game will become active for
10 seconds.
Place the “Scanning Port” directly onto the
surface of the product, in front or behind the
barcode and slide it over the code from left to
right or right to left as straight as you can.
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.
Scan 3 barcodes on the back side of this
instruction sheet marked “Practice Scanning”.
Scan the 3 for your tribe (e.g. If you have the
blue unit, scan the three marked Zendra/Blue).
This will allow you to practice your scanning
skills and provide you with the first 3 monsters
from your tribe.
Now go to any household product that has a
barcode printed on it.
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.
