Dialogue

Larry Da Vinci

Hello. Yes, it's me….erm…oh. It's got a 'D' in it…erm… Larry Da Vinci. That's it. And what's this? Do my eyes deceive me? Hello, Sack Thing!

Larry Da Vinci

I remember the days of the Alliance with such fondness. Apart from that Negativy-whatsit… …uggh, the very thought of it curls my toes.

Larry Da Vinci

Ever since we defeated it I've been at a bit of a loose end so, decided to ply my trade as a Popit Professor you know, give the youngsters the benefit of my knowledge and all that.

Larry Da Vinci

I've got something marvelous to show you… It's THE most powerful tool in your creative arsenal. Come with me.

Larry Da Vinci

Behold, the vitally important….erm….oh what's it called? The Popit Powerup! That's it.

Larry Da Vinci

The POPIT POWERUP enables you to use CREATE tools within PLAY mode. It also furnishes you with a fabulous hat! Oh! Imagine that!

Larry Da Vinci

Let's give the magnificent thing a whirl shall we?!

Larry Da Vinci

The POPIT POWERUP adds fantastic new options to your POPIT Menu. Open the POPIT by pressing the MENU BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Select your POPIT CURSOR with the ACTION BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

You move the cursor around using the LEFT STICK.

Larry Da Vinci

If you're in a menu but want to get back out, just use the BACK BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Move your cursor over the ORANGE area and onwards we'll go. Gently does it.

Larry Da Vinci

Ooh, unusually graceful and precise movements for a novvy. A lot of Sack folk end up knocking something over… or someone. You show promise.

Larry Da Vinci

Ooh! Deary deary me. The bridge couldn't hold the weight of us both! How embarrassing.

Larry Da Vinci

Luckily the POPIT POWERUP can make mistakes disappear as if they'd never happened.

Larry Da Vinci

Rewinding makes everything freeze in place. This is called PAUSE mode. You can UNPAUSE by pressing the UP BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Excellent! All evidence nicely removed and no one any the wiser.

Larry Da Vinci

Place your CURSOR over an object and tap the ACTION BUTTON to select it.

Larry Da Vinci

Now, you can then move the object around using the LEFT STICK.

Larry Da Vinci

And if you should want to DROP the object and back out of the POPIT, you do so with the BACK BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

If you've used your POPIT CURSOR to select an object, you can use the RIGHT STICK to SPIN it and change its SIZE.

Larry Da Vinci

Try it out on this block here.

Larry Da Vinci

You are a natural! Ha, ha, ha! Like y'style!

Larry Da Vinci

If an object isn't working out for you it can be easily recycled back into the Imagisphere. Select it and press the DELETE BUTTON to get rid.

Larry Da Vinci

Just don't use it on the furniture. Especially if you're sitting on it at the time! Oh the bruises…

Larry Da Vinci

Nicely, nicely, lovely, lovely! Ho ho!

Larry Da Vinci

Once you've selected something with the CURSOR you can nudge it in and out.

Larry Da Vinci

If you want to push an object forward use the FRONT SHUFFLE BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Similarly, you use the BACK SHUFFLE BUTTON to move an object backwards.

Larry Da Vinci

I find these things quite uplifting you know. Ha, ha…

Larry Da Vinci

Disaster! Stuck in a lift… You know how to fix it, right?

Larry Da Vinci

Oh, I think this is all to easy for a budding genius like you.

Larry Da Vinci

Open your POPIT and find your GOODIES BAG. Inside, there's a ball.

Larry Da Vinci

Select the ball with the ACTION BUTTON, and then use the LEFT STICK to move it around.

Larry Da Vinci

Once you are replete with satisfaction at its positioning, tap the ACTION BUTTON to place the ball.

Larry Da Vinci

Shockingly good! Have you done this before?
