How to play
Turn your phone sideways
Your phone is your controller and your screen. Hold ◀ or ▶ to run, A jumps (hold it for higher).
Ride it, lift it, chuck it
Land on a baddie and you ride it. Press ▼ to pick it up, then B (it only shows while you carry something) throws it. Hold ▼ and press B to set it down.
Pull up the tufts
Press ▼ on a tuft of grass to pull it up: a sweet potato to throw, a coin, a mango (a heart), or something better.
Hearts and the super jump
You have two hearts: a knock costs one and what you carry. Hold ▼ standing still until you flash, then A jumps twice as high.
Crab pots and coins
Press ▼ on top of a crab pot to drop inside: one of them is a shortcut. Every coin takes 0.1 seconds off your time.
How to win
The fastest time, with the coins taken off, wins the race.
Host options
- A single race on one stage or a random one; one race, Best of 3 or race after race; and how long the rest have once someone is home.

Questions
How many can race?
From 1 to 16 players. Everyone runs the same stage at the same time on their own phone, and the TV shows the whole pack.
How long is a race?
About a minute. The host picks one race, Best of 3 or race after race, and how long the rest have to finish once the first dog is home.
How do you win?
The fastest time wins, and every coin you pick up takes 0.1 seconds off it. A crab pot can hide a shortcut, so it pays to explore.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. Holding the phone sideways like a games controller is easy to learn, and a knock only costs a heart, not the race.
