Story:
The squishy life form "Beltel" has come to the far-flung city in the sky, "Golden Sparkling Palace" to organize the gold bars. Let's put them away in the warehouses of the people of the city!

Game instructions:
Use the A and B buttons to jump (move). Use the A button to move right, the B button to move left, and use A and B at the same time to jump on the spot.
Use the A/B buttons together with the Control Pad for even more variety! Jump while holding the same direction as the jump for a wider jump, or in the opposite direction for a higher jump.
Press the A and B buttons together while holding Up or Down to move vertically. You can vary the strength of your jump.
You can get the gold bars by touching them (one at a time). Then, one of the warehouses above will start flashing, so go there and press Up. Once you've cleared them all, you'll get bonus points! The faster you do it, the higher your bonus points will be!
Clear all 8 levels to reach the ending. If you hit a silver ingot or a golden bird, you make a mistake (lose a life). If you fall off the conveyor belt, you make a mistake too! Get a 1up on levels 3 and 6!
Press START to pause.
