I can't get any rings when I play the main mode.. I have all the items, the tv duck and tuba thing.

And I tried reseting the game, shutting it off, beating a level then shutting it off.. but nothing works! I've been doing it all on the first level.. I need help!

Are you having trouble with an electronic? Please try these steps to fix it:

1) Light the electronic on fire, to make sure the circuits aren'ts frozen
2) beat the electronic against a well to make sure nothing is out of place
3) Proceed to dump water over the electronic killing harmful chemicals
4) Sell your soul to Satan
5) After repeating steps 1-3 eight times, and taking extra care to do step 4, make sure you haven't depleted your battery or maxed out a gauge of sorts on your electronic

Thank you for your time*End tape*
