Bugs: As originally released, the game could not be completed due to several bugs. This may lead to a game-ending situation in which Willy repeatedly falls from a height, losing all lives in succession. Willy loses a life if he touches an enemy or falls too far, and he is returned to the point at which he entered the room. The collectable items glow to distinguish them from other items in the room. The play area itself consists of 60 flick-screen making-up the mansion and its grounds and containing hazards (static killer objects), patrolling monsters (killer guardians which move along predetermined paths), various platforms and collectable objects. He can climb stairs by walking into them (jumping through them to avoid them) and climb swinging ropes by pushing left or right depending on what direction the rope is swinging in. Willy is controlled using only left, right and jump. Unlike the screen-by-screen style of its prequel, the player can explore the mansion at will and tackle the screens in the order of their choosing. Game-play: Willy moves from room to room in his mansion collecting objects. Willy must explore the enormous mansion and its grounds (including a beach and a yacht) to fully tidy up the house so he can get some much-needed sleep. Willy's mansion was bought with the wealth obtained from his adventures in Manic Miner but much of it remains unexplored and it appears to be full of strange creatures, possibly a result of the previous (missing) owner's experiments. With this done his housekeeper Maria will allow him access to his bedroom. The Plot: A tired Miner Willy has to tidy up all the items left around his house after a huge party. The game is a sequel to Manic Miner (1983), and is the second game in the immensely popular Miner Willy Series.
