KEIO FLYING SQUADRON 2
Introduction
(Thank you for purchasing JVC’s Sega Saturn CD. Before you start the game, please read this manual.)
The Story
A year has passed since the apocalyptic disaster which left a great crater in the center of Edo city. The destruction wrought major economic consequences and while much investment was poured into the public works for the New Edo Castle, the citizens were all feeling the pinch of the recession.
Dr. Pon was no exception. Although a freak of nature with an astronomical IQ of 1400, hard reality forced the genius raccoon to become a laborer in the construction of the New Castle. One day, while he was shoveling away some gravel near the center of the crater, he unearthed the Secret Treasure Scroll and one of the Six Magical Orbs! With the knowledge that the six Orbs together would bring him enormous wealth, he quickly left his job in search of the remaining five orbs listed on the scroll’s map.
Meanwhile, Himiko “the Pompous Queen of the Ancients” makes a dramatic appearance at the Nana-hikari family’s dinner table and grabs the family’s Magical Orb. But before she can get away, Dr. Pon ambushes her and steals it. Of course, Rami makes chase and joins the race for the great treasure, starting her on her new adventure….

How To Attack Your Enemies
Stamping On
This is a basic attack form for this game. You can defeat the enemies by jumping and stamping on them.
Throwing Items
You can throw the things you picked up.
Using Weapons
You can choose from three types of weapons. Try to use the most suitable weapon for each situation and type of enemy. You can get most of the weapons by defeating armed raccoons, but you can also find them in some treasure boxes. Once you get a weapon, you can use it as often as you wish.
Kinugawa - The Umbrella of Love
Closed, these are thrust weapons. By opening it, you can jump farther and dodge an attack or falling object.

Use this to attack the enemy at a distance. The direction of the arrow is easily set by arrow buttons on your Directional Pad. For long distance, [sic] press down and hold the B button.
Damage
If Rami has no weapon, she will be defeated by the enemy’s first attack. On the other hand, with a weapon in her hand, the first attack will only make her drop her weapon. So be sure to carry a weapon all the time!
Bonus Items
A Safe: They contain various useful items. Break them open by stamping on them.
Kappa the mysterious creature in the marsh:
You can use them as a springpad for jumping. You can also carry them.
