Guide To Yuki Penguin[/SIZE][SIZE=16pt][/SIZE]
All You Need To Know
How to Begin
When you first start to play with your Yuki Penguin, you pull out the tab. If you want to start a new game to sequel an older one, or you had to change its batteries, you must gently press the reset button that is found on the back below the left screw.
Set the Time Correctly
As you press that, the time appears. Press ENTER and use the left button to swivel through the numbers and set the hours.
Then press the right button to go onto the minutes, and with the left button swivel through and set the minutes. Make sure the time is completely correct, or that it is set up in a special way, because once you have set the time of Yuki Pengin, you cannot change it, and you do not want to miss any events. To enter the date press ENTER. Then press CLOCK to go out of clock mode.
Also note that in each game, the clock is fast, and can be up to 15 minutes fast.
Yuki Penguin comes
You will have to wait a while while Yuki Penguin arrives to Earth. The sky will be blakc with little fireworks. Finally, a baby penguin will appear within an explosion, and then you are ready to care for it.
How To Care For Yuki Penguin
Once Yuki comes, you must look after him. When he comes, all his 'hearts' are empty, and he is very sad, you must fill them all up. If you neglect your penguin too much, he will die. The Yuki Penguin can die in two main ways: Neglect, and Old Age. Yuki Penguin has a maximum livespan of 12 days, and he will then die at 12:00 AM at night by default.
The Buttons
Yuki Penguin has five buttons. Whenever you press one, it makes a 'beep', even when no action is taken after pressing it. I explained which you had to press when you first started it up, but here it is different:
ESC
It's a small button. Use it to exit icons or unmark icons. I noticed that if you have an icon selected, it will not deselect itself, so you have to make sure you press ESC twice.
CLOCK
Use this to scroll in and out of the CLOCK. It takes five seconds to scroll onto the clock, and to exit the clock, press CLOCK again, and the Penguin will immediately appear after pressing it. I noticed Yuki can get up later/go to bed later by being in clock mode. Yuki often gets up at around 9am, and goes to bed at 9pm or 10pm. If at 9am you are in CLOCK mode, it will not wake up till you go out of clock mode. I don't know whether this could serve as a pause feature. Tomorrow I'll stay in clock mode before it awakes, and see if it loses any 'hearts'. Notice that if you do that once it is already up, it will run normally. The clock mode doesn't seem to work as a Pause function, I honestly don't think Yuki has one.
ENTER
This button is slightly bigger. it is oval-shaped. Use this to select OK. It's like the Tamagotchi 'B' button. When you press it, it says OK to whatever you have selected. If you press ENTER without anything selected, it will select the first icon (drink), and if you press ENTER again, it will feed your Penguin. I thought that was quite funny.
Button Left
Pointing like this '<'. Use it to select and scroll through the icons on the left menu, or for going from the right menu to the left menu. Also to scroll through food, or status, or when playing a game, the 'hand' you want to show, also to select ON on the light and the air-conditioning.
Button Right
Pointing like this '>'. Use it to select and scroll through the icons on the right menu, or for going from the left menu to the right menu. Also to scroll through food, or status, or when playing a game, the 'hand' you want to show, also to select OFF on the light and the air-conditioning.
Reset
Foudn on the back of Yuki, makes the game restart from the beginning again. Press when penguin dies.
The Icons
You can interact and look after your penguin using each icon.
Note, Yuki never poos, and there is no attention icon, so always be careful to be lsitenign to your Yuki Penguin, or check on it often, whenever it needs something, it will make a loud beep.
Drink
Select with left button or enter, and press enter. If your penguin needs to drink, it will drink it. If your penguin doesn't, he will say no. One drink will fill up one 'glass' in the status. If your penguin goes down two empty glasses, it will beep.
Food
Select it with the left button, and press enter. There are six food options. They are:
- Fish - If you eat a lot of this, you will get the evolution branch at the bottom of the growth chart, and it will stop you from eating the Apple and the Black Half Pizza.
- Pizza Slice - I think that if you eat a lot of this, you get the lower evolution branch like the fish, and it will block out from eating Ice Cream and Chicken (not sure about this)
- Apple - If you eat a lot of this, your penguin will take the evolution branch in the middle of the chart, and it blocks you out from eating Fish and Pizza Slice.
- Black half Pizza - Not sure what this is, but I think that if you eat a lot of this, Yuki takes the middle evolution branch like Apple, and blocks out from eating Ice Cream and Chicken (not sure about this)
- Ice Cream - I guess and think that when you eat a lot of this, Yuki takes the top evolution branch, and doesn't allow to eat Fish and Pizza Slice.
- Chicken - Not sure what this is, but I think it said in the instructions that it was chicken, but it looks like a steaming bowl pith a pole on top. I think that when you eat this, Yuki takes top evolution branch like Ice Cream, and blocks out from eating Apple and Black Half Pizza
I am not completely sure bout that though. By blocking out food I mean that when Yuki eats, and evolves, he evolves into the branch 'conditioned' most by the food he ate, andas he becomes that, when you try tomake him eat certain types of food, he will say no. So far I only ate fish first gen, got last evolution branch, and blocked out apple and black half pizza and on second gen (where I am now) I only ate apples, and couldn't eat Fish or Pizza Slice.
When Yuki is two bowls of food down, he will beep. Two platefuls of food fill up one bowl (encourages you to eat a mixed variety of food)
Lights
Select it with the left button. When Yuki goes to bed, youmust turn the light settings from ON to OFF. He will beep when he goes to bed, in a down music scale.
Praise/Discipline
Select with the left button. I have never had to use this I don't think. Supposedly when Yuki is cross, you must pat him. When you select that, a hand pats Yuki, and he gets happy. Sometimes Yuki looks down in the dumps, but that never does anything, I always have to play a game, make sure he has the happiest mood, and to snap him out of the bad mood, I need to visit the status to check on it, and then he stops being so cross.
Status
Select this with the left button. Use the Status to check how your penguin is doing, and check he is doing as well as possible, or he may get ill/die/beep.
These are the things you can check on the status:
- Mood - There are five mood levels, going from very unhappy to very happy ( - - - :| - )
- Marks - You must make Yuki study a lot to make sure he gets high marks. They range from E+ to A+ ( A+ - B+ - C+ - D+ - E+ )
- Weight and Age - When you feed Yuki he will gain weight. Not sure what happens if you get overweight, I dont think you can because Yuki won't eat more than he needs. Age shows how old your penguin is. Everyday he gets up, he gets one year older. Yuki dies at the age of 12, at 0:00.
- Food/Hunger - Represented by four bowls. If any are empty, you must feed your penguin. It'll beep everytime it empties two bowls.
- Water/Thirst level - Represented by four glasses. If any are empty, you must give Yuki a drink. It'll beep every time it empties two glasses.
- Temperature - Indicates the temperature of Yuki. The ideal Temperature is of around 15ºC. However, if it is lower or higher, don't turn the air on or off, it won't make any difference till Yuki complains of the heat or the cold, however it can give you an idea of how soon it is going to beep. High temperatures are beeped when the temperature is 20ºC+ and beeps when cold when around 2ºC - 7ºC.
Always remember to check the status often, like every half hour. Yuki penguins are needier the younger they are.
Game
Select with the right button. The game is Stone, Scissors or Paper. The object of the game is to let the Penguin win. First of all, with a beep, a human hand will appear. Choose whether you want to play Paper, Scissors or Stone, by selecting with the left/right buttons. Then a small black flipper will appear (cute feature). If Yuki wins, there is a happy tune, and the mood meter goes up a level. If Yuki equalises or loses, he gets cross, but he doesn't lose a level on the happiness meter.
This is the combo that 80% of the times works for me (the numbers indicate which go it is - in the game you have to play up to 5 times till you ahev to satrtthe game again, the first word is me, the second, waht Yuki brings out):
1. Scissors - Stone (Yuki wins)
2. Stone - Paper (Yuki wins)
Then after that, I select them randomly, and Yuki seems to have picked up some luck, because he often wins most of teh time after that.
You can also cancel the game at any time when the human hand is shown by pressing ESC.
Studying
Select with the right button. Use this to make your penguin study. Everytime you make him study he goes up a 'studylevel' on the 'study meter'. Use this if for example your penguin has a mark of B+, and you want A+, make him study once.
Bathtime
Select with the right button. Only useable when needed, if not Yuki will refuse. When Yuki needs a bath,, he will beep. When you look at him you will see him flickering between its normal self and a black penguin. He is getting dirty, and you must shower him quickly.
Air Conditioning
Select with the right button. Only use this when Yuki beeps. Look at the screen. If Yuki is shivering, turn the air off. If he looks angry, because he is yelling with a # above his head, he is hot - turn the air on. If you turn the air on and off without Yuki asking for it, you may need to turn the air off and on, or on and off for an efect to take place.
Medicine
Select with the right button. If your Penguin is at the bottom of the screen with an ugly look, he is probably ill. To me it seems that Yuki has to get ill like once a day. You must very quickly cure it and give it an injection. It is a big pain when it does that, because it means the status is reset,and by that I mean that it becomes totally empty:
- Unhappy
- Low Study Level E+
- Not sure about weight, but age stays the same
- Totally Hungry
- Totally Thirsty
- Nothing Wrong with Temperature
You must restore Yuki's health as soon as possible by feeding him, palying games with him and making him study.
Evolutions
On the instructions, a growthchart comes. Some of them are marked by a boxed ?, but you can see what characters you can get on a certain 'evolution branch' as I call them. Evolution depends on what you feed Yuki.
Yuki Penguins evolve when they get up. Sometimes it takes two days, and sometimes it takes one. From a baby to toddler to little teen it takes one day, but to go through the rest of the characters, I think it takes one day, till you get to the 'secret character', where there are only two of them. He is not playable, and he dies at 0:00
After that, time to reset it.
That is all about Yuki penguin.
Specifically made for
chocosilver and anyone else interested in Yuki Penguin. Hope it was helpful!!!
*apalled*
As of now, I just got hold of it to copy out its stats, and the screen was blank. I thought that was quite strange since the Unisaur never turns its pixels off except at night, so I pressed a button. To my surprise, and sadness, he was dead. :kuribotchi: 
I had 25 good days with him *sigh* Time for another 25 good days.
