Quick notes

Pearls and ordinary money serve different purchases. Pearls are a special currency used for major equipment at Mammago Garage.
An upgrade can change the map. The hovercraft’s neutralizing cannon can lock onto targets, while its jump capability clears suitable barriers.
Use detectors as exploration aids. The animal and pearl detectors place relevant information on the map.
Keep the vehicle repaired. Repair pods restore vehicle energy; food restores people.
