Christmas Carol vs. The Ghost of Christmas Presents

Objective

Guide Carol through the maze-like caverns to pick up all the Christmas presents while avoiding her enemies. Along the way, pick up candy and magical snowflakes that award you additional points and help you on your adventure.

Carol's Adventure

To save Christmas, you must guide Carol Greenleaf through all eight stages of her journey. The adventure concludes once she collects all the presents the Evil Snowman hid in the Frozen Ice-Cube Caverns. Carol reaches a new stage of her adventure every two levels. Each stage introduces a new cave for Carol to explore.

If the Evil Snowman catches Carol, he freezes her, stopping her adventure right in its tracks. Santa then has to use his magic to thaw her back out again! Santa will always thaw Carol back out, but will only give her so many chances to complete her mission.

Carol will work tirelessly to save Christmas for as long as Santa asks her to. Santa will whisk her home to safety, though, if she gets frozen too many times.

Saving Christmas

The final stage of Carol's adventure will require extra effort. This cave is nestled deep in the Himalayas and contains new surprises. If you guide Carol this far, Santa will give you one extra chance to master its unique challenges.

Once Carol finishes this last stage, congratulations! With your help, Carol has saved Christmas from the Evil Snowman!

Her work is not done, however. The Evil Snowman gets trickier every year, and Santa will once again ask Carol to save Christmas when he strikes again.
