Disney Interactive Studios The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge - Manual (Page 6)

Pumpkin King Actions
You may purchase upgrades at the Witches Shop that will increase the number of Red
Souls Jack can hold, and add to the blast range of the Fire Bomb attack.
Flame Thrower X
Press and hold X to spit out a stream of flames. You can blast away enemies as
long as your Red Soul counter lasts. Use the L to aim.
Fire Bomb Y
When used, Jack will send out a powerful ring of fire, damaging any enemy within
range. Each use takes one full Red Soul.
Santa Jack Actions
• Throw a present at a target with X! The longer that you hold the button, the farther
the throw will be.
• You may either let the present open on its own, or press c to open it sooner.
• Switch between the different presents with Y.
• Buy presents and upgrades at the Witches Shop.
Scared Stiff
Temporarily stuns the target.
Re-Possession
Make enemies come out of possessed objects,
or surprises enemies and makes them forget
their anger.
Cold Front
This present contains a blizzard of northern
snow. It damages the target by freezing it.
Pumpkin Shield (Easy Mode Only)
This gift temporarily shields Jack from attacks.
Dance Battles
During the boss battles, Jack can use his Dance techniques. When you attack an enemy or
target, Soul Notes will fly out of it. Collect these to build up your Dance Gauge. When
the gauge is full, you will enter the Dance Mode.
Dance Mode
When Jack enters Dance Mode, two markers
will appear in the middle of the screen. As the
characters dance and sing, buttons will fly
across the screen from the left to the right. As
the buttons pass between the markers, you
must press the appropriate buttons on the
controller. If you miss too many button presses,
Jack will stop dancing before the song is over.
By continuously pressing the correct buttons,
he can score additional combos and !-Count,
which will raise his Nightmare Rank.
