INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED

In Spider-Man and Friends: Secret Missions, join forces with Spider-
Man, Spider-Girl and Wolverine and help them to solve problems around
town. With exciting journeys, you’ll learn spelling, animal names, counting,
money concepts, problem solving and much more!
Raised by his Aunt May, Peter Parker has unique abilities that
he uses to help others. Under the secret identity of Spider-Man,
Peter possesses superhuman strength and reflexes. No matter
where he swings, Spider-Man always remembers that with
great power comes great responsibility.
May Parker is Spider-Man’s younger cousin and possesses
the same abilities as the famous wall-crawler. Like Spider-Man,
Spider-Girl can spin webs and uses them to swing all over the
neighborhood while helping others
A well traveled young hero, Logan has lived in both Canada
and Japan. Sometimes made fun of by the kids at school for
being different, Logan secretly possesses a desire to help
others as Wolverine.

While the V.Smile™ Learning System does not contribute to any additional
risks, we do recommend that parents supervise their children while they
play video games. If your child experiences dizziness, altered vision,
disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue use immediately and consult
your physician. Please note that focusing on a television screen at close
range and handling a joystick for a prolonged period of time may cause
fatigue or discomfort. We recommend that children take a 15-minute break
for every hour of play.

Never use solvents or abrasives.
Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from direct sources of heat.
Remove the batteries when not using it for an extended period of time.
Avoid dropping it. NEVER try to dismantle it.
Always keep the V.mOtION™away from water.
