Kikoskia plays Barbie Ocean Discovery - Part 1 of 3

Let's explore the ocean! With Barbie!

The game beings with Barbie introducing herself before going off to search for lost treasure. She then tells you to look for shells with icons on them. By finding them, you can play games, and when you complete them, you'll get clues for finding the treasure. By replaying the games, you can win charms to add to the jeweler box.

You already have one piece of a treasure map. It's up to you to find the other three.

You'll then be underwater with Barbie. Move her around with the Control Pad, and when you find a shell with an icon on it, press the A button and you'll go to the game. Finding the game is harder than it should be, because the game never hints at where you should exactly be going to find it. If you press Start, you'll find out where you need to go to find the next shell. If you see a trail of bubbles, you'll have a path to take to the next screen.

The red shell with the fish on it is a picture puzzle. These puzzles are completely easy to assemble, and once you complete them by moving pieces with the Control Pad and the A button, you'll complete the mini-game. Beating a mini-game gives you a piece of the treasure map as well as a password.

The yellow shell with the oyster on it is a mini-game where you must catch pearls with the oyster. Press the A button to open the oyster to catch the pearls and the Control Pad to control the oyster, but watch out: the pearls will bounce off fish, and the stars will send the pearls careening in another direction should they run into them. Completing this gives you another treasure map piece.

The green shell with the turtle on it is a maze where you help baby turtles find their way to their mother. Control the turtles around the maze with the Control Pad to get the turtle back to its mother. The maze changes itself up every time you get a turtle to the end.

After beating all of the mini-games, you'll be able to head to the sunken ship, where you'll get three new mini-games and get pieces of an antique coins as you complete them.

The red shell with the sea anemone leads to a mini-game where you have to touch the sea anemone until they are all small. This will either take a few seconds or quite a while, so press A on a sea anemone to see which ones shrink or grow and work from there.
