It's time for another Barbie game! This one is a little more interesting, since you're running around, jumping, avoiding enemies and even using gadgets such as a smoke bomb, a robot puppy and a grappling hook!
The game begins with somebody stealing the Queen of England's Jewels. It turns out that an evil spy known as Camille is the main suspect. Barbie is on the case!
The Control Pad lets you move. Left and Right let you move, while Down lets you duck. Pressing Up or Down in front of a ladder (as appropriate) will let you climb a ladder with Up and Down. Also, let's get this out of the way now: Barbie got a booty. A lets you jump, holding Down and pressing A lets you roll into narrow passages,
Sometimes, you can hide in doorways in the background. Use Up on the Control Pad to hide in them. Remember that you can use some gadgets such as the Robot Spy Puppy and the Smoke Screen Compact (more on those later) while hiding in doorways.
Sometimes, you'll have to hack into terminals with the B button.to open doors. When you do this, you'll have to play mini-games to ensure a successful hack. For the Slip Lock mini-game, which involves moving a blue circle between moving columns, press Right when the blue circle is lined up with the gap in the columns. From there, move into the gate at the end to complete the mini-game. You only have a limited amount of tries in case you mess up, and they will be in the lower-right corner. If you lose all your tries, you'll have to hack the terminal again.
The Stealth Ring makes you invisible. Use L and R to equip it if necessary, then press B to use it. Watch the power meter on the upper-left corner. Turn off the ring when you don't need so its power can recharge.
The Smoke Screen Compact is used to stun a guard that is unlucky enough to be near it or have it thrown at them. Use L and R to equip it if necessary, then press B to use it. You can only have one smoke screen on-screen at a time.
England
Tower Roof
Here, you'll need to get to the other side without being seen. Also, see if you can find all the Secret Files so you can unlock things for later in the game.
If you press Select, you can see how many Secret Files you have collected. Be sure to look all around so you can find all six Secret Files in this stage.
If you are spotted by a guard, a triangle with an exclamation point will appear over your head and the energy bar on the upper-right will go down until you get away from them. Thankfully, the guards are not very aggressive.
When you beat a stage, you'll get a password. If you've found all the Secret Files for a stage, you'll be able to see what you've unlocked. They are all cosmetic changes to things in the game such as Barbie, her
The Royal Tower
You'll get your first Slip Lock mini-game at the start of this stage. At first, the terminals will be near the doors you need to unlock, but in later stages, you'll need to look around to see where you need to go next.
The green googles will restore your health in case you have been spotted at any point.
Be ready to use the Stealth Ring to get past all the guards in this stage.
London Subway
Camille has made her way tot he subway station, and her guards are on the train. You'll have to sneak by them to get to the front of the train, and to do that, you'll have to climb in and out of the cars and use your gadgets to avoid being spotted.
There is another mini-game. Press A to line up the laser gun at the top with the blue square, then press A again to line up the laser gun on the left with the blue square as the square moves up and down. When both lasers are lined up with the square, you'll destroy it and be able to continue on.
Street Chase
Here, you'll be chasing Camille's car in traffic. As you do this, avoid other cars with Up and Down on the Control Pad, and try to get all the Secret Files. As you progress, Barbie will move slowly to the right, making it slightly more harder to avoid other cars and catch up to the black car that Camille is. As long as you watch Camille, however, you can catch up with her.
Camille will escape, and you'll find out that Camille is off to China.
