Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I move around?
Put the cursor on Guybrush and hold down the left mouse button to see a circle appear around his middle. Drag the mouse in the direction you want him to travel and pull. You'll see a red arrow appear on the circle showing which way he's going to go.
This mode of ambulation takes some getting used to, and it makes Guybrush look like he's being dragged around by his pelvis, but it's workable. (I believe it's designed to work with the Wii system, but I'm guessing here.) Just keep practicing and it'll get easier as you go along. If you're trying to get to a spot that has its own floating title, you can sometimes click or double-click on it to make Guybrush navigate towards it on his own, which saves a lot of fumbling around and cursing by the player.
