Safely wrapped in your swaddling clothes, soothed by the gentle rocking of your carriage and the sweet cooing of your mother, you are almost asleep. Your mother contiues in her day's work, chatting politely to shopkeepers and acquaintances. Soon you will be numb to the chaotic bustling and brimming of the noisy city.

Boom! Shouts! Yelling! Pushing! and your perambulator is suddenly careening down stairs, your maternal guardian nowhere in sight! If you were older, you'd swear it was like a scene from an old movie....

But you're not older; you haven't even learned to walk yet. However, terror flattens learning curves--and soon you are leaning your chubby infant mass to the left and the right to avoid businessmen, bicyclists, banana peels and skateboarders.

Go kid racer, go!

Hints...

  1. Don't try to steer the baby buggy like a car. It will jerk each time you physically strike a key, so holding down a turn key may lead to disaster.
  2. Avoid obstacles. You get more points for successfully dodging larger and faster obstacles.
  3. Use the stairs to gain speed. Slam into the edges to slow down.
  4. Add to your score by grabbing pacifiers, baby bottles, and lollipops.
  5. Bonuses are also awarded by running over businessmen's toes, hitting a chicken crossing the road, and getting the dog run over.
  6. Collect balls. Each ball you've got gives you an extra 100 points when you score a bonus. This can really add up!
  7. Watch out for the dog! Move too slow and he'll catch you. The more balls you carry, the more aggressive he gets. Drop a ball to distract him if he gets too close.
  8. Hit the ducklings or roll over the stinky crap and you'll lose points.
  9. Some things will slow you down if you roll over them; others by glancing off them.
  10. Find out what's what and how many points it's worth in the cast of characters.
