3	The story as per the manual is as follows: in a factory owned by one eccentric Mr. Swirley, a vat of jelly was suddenly struck by lightning and came to life, creating the eponymous Jelly Boy. The workers chased him until he found an elevator, where the operator told him he cannot get in since it leads directly to Mr. Swirley's penthouse. However, if Jelly Boy collects a series of objects found behind the doors holding Mr. Swirley's favorite toys (the game's worlds), he'll be able to enter the elevator and get his wish granted. Jelly Boy enters the first door and sets out in an adventure, followed by a small dog also made of jelly.
