| THE SMURFS NIGHTMARE GAME INSTRUCTIONS |
 | | ONLINE INSTRUCTION MANUAL |
STORY | Gargamel has smurfed them again! It was a haunting night with a full moon when Gargamel cast an evil spell over the entire Smurf Village. Now all its inhabitants find themselves trapped in their worst of nightmares. Only Hefty Smurf is unaffected because he was out smurfing in the woods when the spell was cast. Searching through Papa Smurf's laboratory, he finds a potion that allows him entry into the dreams of the other Smurfs. It's the beginning of a long voyage, deep into the heart of their nightmares....each one stranger than the last! The Smurfs' fate lies in your hands, so get smurfing with your Game Boy Color right away! |
CONTROLSOPTIONS | When it comes to video games, are you a "Papa Smurf" or just an apprentice? Whatever your skill level, use the options menu to smurf the following options:| | | Difficulty Level: | Choose Easy or Hard. | | Music: | With music (ON) or without music (OFF). | | Password: | Enter a code to avoid starting a game from the beginning. | | |
To change an option: Move the cursor with the Select Button. Change the setting with either Button A or B. |
PASSWORD | | At the end of some stages, you will be given a password made up of 3 faces. This allows you to restart a game at the point where the password was given to you. To enter a password: Select "Password" from the Options Menu. Using Left/Right on the Control Pad, choose the face you want to change. Then, select the character by pressing Up or Down on the Control Pad. Enter the password by pressing the Start Button. |
BONUSES | Your journey will be littered with evil spirits and extraordinary encounters, plus other varied bonuses: |
 | THE SMALL RASPBERRY JUICE FLASK: | You will find these flasks in all the levels. Each time you smurf one, you get 1 energy point. |  | THE BIG HEARTS: | Finding one of these hidden flasks adds one heart permanently to the energy bar and increases your chances of survival. For example, smurfing one of these bonuses when the energy bar has 4 hearts, a 5th heart is added. |  | THE NETTLE JUICE BOTTLE: | Nettle juice is a potion that strengthens a Smurf, making him invincible for a few seconds. |  | THE FREEZING POTION: | These flasks contain a potion, which immobilizes all enemies around you for a few seconds. Take advantage of this to smurf all nearby bonuses. |  | THE SARSAPARILLA LEAVES: | Picking up the sarsaparilla leaves throughout the game will reward you in two ways:
The height and length of a Smurf's jump depends on the number of sarsaparilla leaves you have picked up. The more leaves you pick up, the higher and farther the Smurf will jump!
Collecting more than 40 sarsaparilla leaves in a level will give you access to a special bonus stage! |
SCORE BAR
| 1] | THE SCORE: | To increase your score, smurf as many enemies and pick up as many bonuses as possible! Good scores reward an extra game life. | | 2] | THE ENERGY BAR: | This is made up of 4 hearts and displays your energy points. When all energy hearts are gone and you get hit, you lose one game life. | | 3] | THE SMURF'S HEAD: | The number displayed to the right of the Smurf's head displays the number of remaining game lives. | | 4] | THE SARSAPARILLA GAUGE: | This gauge displays how many sarsaparilla leaves you have picked up. A full gauge will give the Smurf maximum jumping height and distance.
0 to 15 leaves = normal jump
16 to 31 = 1.5 x normal jump
More than 31 leaves = 2 x normal jump | | 5] | THE OXYGEN GAUGE: | During the Bottomless Well Stage, this gauge appears above the sarsaparilla gauge. It displays the Smurf's oxygen supply, and it slowly decreases in time. TheSmurf can obtain more oxygen by opening packages. |
HOW TO USE CONTROLS| WALK: | Press Left or Right on the Control Pad. | | SMURF AN ENEMY: | Jump on the head of an enemy. | | SWIM: | Press Left or Right on the Control Pad. To swim upwards, press Button B. | | JUMP: | Press Button B once for a normal jump. If you have collected enough sarsaparilla leaves, press Button B twice or three times to jump higher and farther. | | OPEN A PACKAGE: | Place yourself below a package and jump up to open it. | | DUCK DOWN: | Press Down on the Control Pad. | | PUSH: | Place yourself next to the object you want to move. Press Left or Right on the Control Pad. | | OPERATE A LEVER: | Use Button A. | | FLY IN A SOAP BUBBLE: | To move the bubble containing the Smurf, use the Control Pad. | | FLY WITH WINGS: | Use the Control Pad to control your direction. | | TO TAKE OFF WITH THE ROCKET: | Quickly tap Button A. When you release Button A, the rocket will fall to the ground. | | BONUS STAGES: | In this stage, the Smurf can refill his Raspberry Juice and increase the number of game lives by opening packages. To open a package, punch it using Button B.
Don't stand still when the packages tumble down towards the Smurf! A super-bonus is there for the taking if you open them all ... but watch out, some packages are booby-trapped! |
SPECIAL STAGES| THE RABBIT RIDE: | In this level, Hefty Smurf rides a rabbit. Make the rabbit run slower or faster by pressing Left or Right on the Control Pad. To jump over an obstacle, press Button B. | | THE BOTTOMLESS WELL: | Here Hefty Smurf has to swim underwater. To move left or right, use the Control Pad. To swim upwards, press Button B. | | THE FLOOD WAVE: | Look out! A dam has given way and a giant wave is chasing Smurf. Use the bonus springs and press Left or Right on the Control Pad to escape! | | THE MOLE'S BURROW: | Hefty Smurf finds himself on the back of a mole moving in an underground tunnel. Control the mole's speed by using Left or Right on the Control Pad. To jump over an obstacle, press Button B. |
HINTS AND TIPS| To enter any of the houses in the village, you must have the correct key. You'll also need to find objects to have access to certain stages: a carrot for the Rabbit Ride, a rope for the Bottomless Well, a hammer for the Flood Wave and a pair of glasses for the Mole's Burrow. You must find these objects during your voyages within the "Smurfs Nightmare". To do this, sometimes you'll need to solve a little puzzle to get objects. Here's a few clues that might help you: |
| The Dangerous Kitchen: | Jump on the strawberries in the correct order to get the carrot. | | The Library Of Fear: | Place the pawns on the right squares to unhook the rope. | | The Mysterious Planet: | Break the rock with the rocket to make the hammer appear. | | The Haunted Manor: | Operate the levers to release the pair of glasses. | | The Workbench Gone Mad: | Trigger the hook at the right time to recover the key. | | The Laboratory Of Hell: | Jump on the test tubes to find the magic flask. |

I think you're supposed to press either the "S" key or the "D" key for that part. I know it's one of those, I just can't remember which one. Tell me what happens.

The Smurfs' Nightmare
Also Called : The Smurfs 3
Also Called : The Smurfs Nightmare

Age Rating : Everyone
Release Date: 1997 / 1998

The Smurfs' Nightmare
The story begins on a dark night under a full moon when the evil wizard Gargamel casts a wicked spell over the Smurf Village. This spell traps all the Smurfs in their worst nightmares while they sleep, leaving them unable to wake up. Only one Smurf escapes the curse: Hefty Smurf, the strongest of the bunch. It’s up to Hefty to venture into the nightmares of his fellow Smurfs, rescue them by breaking the spell, and save the village from Gargamel’s clutches. Each Smurf’s nightmare takes place inside their mushroom house, represented by unique levels filled with bizarre environments and dangers tailored to their fears.
Gameplay
The Smurfs' Nightmare is a side-scrolling platformer with tight controls and a focus on exploration and precision. You control Hefty Smurf as he navigates six distinct levels, each split into two stages, totaling 12 main stages. To progress, you must collect a set number of magical sarsaparilla leaves in each stage to unlock the exit. Hefty can jump on enemies to defeat them, activate levers, and use various items to overcome obstacles. The game offers two difficulty modes—Easy and Hard—with the latter increasing enemy toughness and reducing available lives.
Between levels, you’ll encounter bonus mini-games (like riding a hopping rabbit in The Rabbit Race) that let you earn extra points or lives. Progress is saved via a simple password system using three Smurf faces. If Hefty dies, you restart the current stage from the beginning, which can be frustrating but encourages mastery of each level's layout.
Levels
The game features six main levels, each tied to a Smurf’s nightmare and accessed via their mushroom house in the Smurf Village. You need a key from the previous level’s mini-game to unlock the next house.
| Level | Dreamer | Description |
|---|
| The Kitchen of Danger | Greedy Smurf | A haunted kitchen with bouncing strawberries and deadly hot dogs. Jump between shelves and avoid culinary chaos. | | The Library of Fear | Brainy Smurf | A maze of haunted books, flying pages and broken glass. Navigate floating platforms and watch out for killer ants. | | The Mysterious Planet | Astro Smurf | A surreal Planet Swoof where you must save Astro Smurf. Features bizarre landscapes, rocket ships, and savage enemies. | | The Haunted Manor | Shy Smurf | Face evil knights, maces and killer viking helmets. Watch out for the trap doors! | | The Workbench Gone Mad | Handy Smurf | A world with anvils, nails, and deadly contraptions. Watch out for a full toolbox of mechanical hazards! | | The Laboratory of Hell | Papa Smurf | Deadly potions, beakers and a full chemistry set worth of danger! |
Power-Ups
Hefty Smurf can collect various power-ups scattered throughout the levels to aid his quest. Here’s a rundown:
- Sarsaparilla Leaves: The main collectible. Gather to boost jump height.
- Potions: Grants temporary invincibility.
- Soap Bubbles: Let Hefty float upward to reach high platforms.
- Wings: Enable temporary flight, adding a fun twist to navigation.
- Extra Lives: Rare Smurf head icons that give you another chance if Hefty falls.
Characters
The game focuses on a small cast, with Hefty Smurf as the star. Here’s who you’ll encounter:
- Hefty Smurf: The playable hero, brave and strong, tasked with rescuing everyone.
- Gargamel: The villain behind the spell, though he doesn’t appear in levels—just the story.
- Greedy, Handy, Brainy and Astro Smurf: Trapped in their nightmares, represented by their houses.
- Evil Smurfs: Corrupted devilish versions of Smurfs, serving as recurring enemies.
A Fun Scary Dream
The Smurfs’ Nightmare for Game Boy delivers a surprisingly dark and challenging platforming experience. While visually charming with its familiar Smurf characters, the game’s inspired level design, nightmare themes, and sometimes tricky gameplay provide a smurfy test of skill for platformer fans. The Smurfs’ Nightmare offers a unique blend of childhood nostalgia and surprisingly intense gameplay that is sure to please!
The Smurfs 3 vs. The Smurfs' Nightmare
"The Smurfs 3" has a release history as interesting as its gameplay. Intended as a sequel to the Europe-exclusive "The Smurfs 2," it too debuted in Europe, presented in black and white for the original Game Boy. Later, in 1998, a Game Boy Color version was released, bringing the Smurfs to life with color graphics and enhancing the gameplay experience. However, because "The Smurfs 2" never reached the United States, "The Smurfs 3" in color was cleverly rebranded as "The Smurfs' Nightmare" for its North American release.
Beyond the obvious leap to color, "The Smurfs' Nightmare" has some subtle technical distinctions from its original black and white Game Boy counterpart. One immediate difference is screen transitions: the Game Boy version features a fade-in/fade-out effect on most screens, while the Game Boy Color version transitions directly. Curiously, Papa Smurf's head is missing from the password screen in the Game Boy Color release, leading to altered passwords in that version.
The Smurfs 3 vs. The Smurfs' Nightmare Passwords
| Level | Game Boy | Game Boy Color |
|---|
| Rabbit Race (Easy) | Brainy, Handy, Papa | Brainy, Handy, Hefty | | Rabbit Race (Hard) | Hefty, Brainy, Handy | Hefty, Brainy, Handy | | Mysterious Planet 1 (Easy) | Astro, Hefty, Brainy | Astro, Papa, Brainy | | Mysterious Planet 1 (Hard) | Hefty, Greedy, Astro | Hefty, Greedy, Astro | | Workbench Gone Mad 1 (Easy) | Papa, Greedy, Handy | Hefty, Greedy, Handy | | Workbench Gone Mad 1 (Hard) | Brainy, Hefty, Papa | Brainy, Hefty, Hefty |
