Soukoban Deluxe/Gameplay

Controls

• Joystick: Use the 4-way joystick to direct Rabikun around each room; every "step" he makes will be recorded in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
• Reset Button: Use this button to reset the current round if you get yourself trapped; when you do so, the game will ask if you want to start the round over, so you will have to use the joystick to select "YES" or "NO", then push this button again to confirm your choice. However, you should know that choosing "YES" will not reset the timer, so it is only advisable to do this if you know you have still got a chance of clearing the round after resetting it.
• Reverse Button: Use this button to undo the last move Rabikun has made; however, you should know that doing this counts as an additional "step".
• Start Button: Push this button to start the game; this game has no two-player mode. When the timer is down to thirty seconds (which is indicated by a warning sound and the music increasing in tempo), you may also push this button after inserting another coin to add the current round's initial time back onto the timer - and if you do this as soon as the timer is down to thirty seconds, you will end up with more time than you began the round with.

Rabikun

The protagonist for this game; to the left is how he appears in "Big Mode" rounds, while to the right is how he appears in "Small Mode" ones.

Boxes

There are five different types of boxes that must be pushed onto blue dots in this game; from left to right, they are: Mikan Bako (Rounds 1-11), Tawara Hako (Rounds 12-22), Kibako (Rounds 23-33), Taru (Rounds 34-44), and Kontena (Rounds 45-55). As you can see from the images, the Mikan Bako and Tawara Hako also only appear in "Big Mode" while the Kontena only appear in "Small Mode".
