Still saving the universe, one monster at a
time!
Hi, this is Flux! I'm the one who first found out
that our world is being invaded by alien monsters
from another planet. While battling each other,
they destroyed their own world, so it's up to us to
make sure they don't do the same to Earth! All of
them are hiding in our Bar Codes just waiting for
the chance to strike, so I hope you're up to the
challenge. Remember, the fate of our world
depends on us!
Reset button - When a blunt point is inserted, this
resets the controller to its original settings. JUST
REMEMBER, WHEN YOU PRESS THIS
BUTTON, ALL YOUR MONSTERS AND PLAYER
DATA IS CLEARED.
Sleep Mode - After 60 seconds of inactivity, your
controller will automatically go into "sleep mode".
To turn it on again, simply press the On - A
Button and the controller will return to the last
screen you were viewing.
So far, we've done a great job catching these
monsters and keeping them busy by having them
fight each other in the special controllers I
designed. Well… things have changed! I’ve
discovered all new monsters deep within the
codes that don’t follow old rules. These monsters
only look out for themselves and don’t care about
the old tribes. They want to start new tribes!
Getting Started
First, you will be prompted to enter your name into
your controller. Using the Directional Pad, toggle
through the alphabet and select the letters using
the On - A Button. The B Button takes you back
one letter.
Now it's up to us to capture ALL of these
monsters and keep them busy by creating our
OWN tribes!
Let's Start Collecting Monsters!
From the Main Menu, select the "Scan" option.
The screen will read, "Ready to Scan" and the
Scanning Port at the top of the game will become
active for 10 seconds.
I'm going to guide you through the functions of
the NEW Skannerz controller I've designed. Stick
with me, and we'll make sure these creatures
don't have the chance to battle anyone except
each other!
Grab any household product that has a barcode
printed on it. It can be a box of cereal, a book, or
a new toy. You know, anything that has to be
scanned at a shop till point.
What you need to know before you begin
By scanning bar codes from common household
products, this special Skannerz Commander unit
can collect up to 53 monsters and 25 items! The
monsters and items are devided into 3 categories:
Tech,Power and Magic but monsters can only use
items from the same category.
Many of the monsters will join your tribe
voluntarily, when you scan them. But many more
will refuse to join, and you must defeat them in
battle in order to add them to your tribe. Also, if
you banish a monster from your tribe, it will hold
a grudge against you and be harder to defeat the
next time you scan it.
Place the Scanning Port directly onto the surface
of the product, to the left or the right of the bar
code, and slide it over the code from left to right
or right to left. When the code is read, the
controller will beep and a line with a "heart beat"
will appear. If it is a "small" heart beat, the code
wasn't scanned properly, try again. If a "large"
heart beat appears, you definitely picked up
something! If you get a "Flat Line", there's no sign
of life and you should select another product to
scan.

Secret Flux Hint: Flat surfaces are the easiest to
scan. It takes more practice and skill to scan
round or odd-shaped surfaces. Just remember to
always keep the Scanning Port flat against the
surface when scanning. Skannerz works best with
full sized bar codes. See example below. You
may have difficulty scanning smaller bar codes.

items. It also lets you pan across a monster

selected).

main menu at almost any time.

get to use an item once. Then it gets zapped
back to whatever UPC code you found it in. So
choose your item wisely and keep your item bar
codes.
Secret Flux Hint: Sometimes you get an
unlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY careful
before you let your monster drink it. Sometimes
it's good, but sometimes it's poison!
Battling A Friend's Collection Of Monsters
From the main menu, both you and your friend
choose the "V.S." feature and place your
controllers against each other, connecting the tabs
and slots at the top, making sure they snap
together.
If you scan a Battle Scan Monster or a Grudge
Match Monster while you have at least three
active monsters of your own, an "alarm" will
sound and you will need to battle the intruding
monsters. These guys are tricky. Once you scan a
battle-hungry monster into your controller, it uses
its limited power to summon two other monsters
from nearby barcodes to fight along side it. So be
careful!
This is just like battling monsters from random
barcodes. However, the winner gets to take a
monster from the looser. The winner will get a list
of all of the loser's monsters on that team. Use
the Directional Pad to scroll through them and
pick one. Once the monster is chosen; use the
On - A Button to add that monster to your tribe.
Secret Flux Hint: Before the battle begins, you
will be given the choice to either fight or run away.
If you only have a few monsters or most of them
are weak, you may want to run away so you can
fight again another day! Don’t forget if you don’t
battle your monsters they won’t get stronger.
Secret Flux Hint: If you break away from a
friend's controller during a battle, you have 10
seconds to restore the connection before you lose
the game.
New Battle Strategy!
After you've assembled your team, the controller
will show you the battlefield. The monsters will
each be represented by their class symbol (Tech,
Power, or Magic as mentioned before).
Healing Your Monsters
After many battles, even the best of us get our
monsters knocked out once in a while. Keep the
Radica bar code from your Skannerz package.
The barcode for your Skannerz package and
those found on all Radica products will heal
the monsters.

If your monster is knocked out, it is not active and
the "KO" symbol will flash at the bottom of your
screen. Choose "HEAL" from the main menu.

Use the Directional Pad to move left and right to
highlight the monster you wish to send into battle
first. When the correct monster is highlighted,
press the On - A Button to make the selection.
Secret Flux Hint: The Bar Code at the end of this
instruction manual will heal your monsters as well!
You may also want to keep a log of what codes
generated each monster and item. You may need
to find them again if you reset your scanner.
Secret Flux Hint: When your chosen monster's
"stats" appear (showing it's hit points), remember
that monster's number is in the top corner. When
it's time to fight, you'll need that number to deliver
a special "Combo Move"!
Sleep Mode:
After 60 seconds of inactivity, your controller will
automatically go into “sleep mode”. To turn it on
again, simply press the On-A Button and the
controller will return to the last screen you were

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You have 30 seconds to change
batteries without losing your
stored data. Your SKANNERZ
controller must be in sleep

monsters and items.
Just before and as you battle, you will see a
screen with your opponent's strength, your
strength, and a timer. As the timer counts, it's up
to you to press the On - A Button at the right
time. If you hit the On - A Button on your
monster's number, you will give it a "Combo
Move" during his attack. If you hit the On - A

you will give your monster a "Mega Block" during
their attack. There are also many other

you loose a monster it will be taken from your
team. If you win, you get to claim the scanned

choose to banish him back to where he came
from!
