Tales from Space: About a Blob

To collect a Blob friend when you're near them, absorb them like you would any other object by using the button. You can see how many Blob friends you have rescued for each single-level from the 'Story Mode' menu and highlighting over each one with the directional buttons. A blue Blob Friend will appear in the cup on a level to represent collecting them all for the level. While you're in each level, you can also see how many you have rescued in the right-hand corner of the screen. You can come back to previous levels if you do happen to miss a Blob Friend on your first play-through.
