Playing Games

Note: Every time a game is loaded, it is loaded ‘from fresh’, meaning that high scores are not 
saved between games unless saved manually by the player using the saving and loading 
system.

Once you've selected your game and it's loaded, you can begin a 1 player game using the 

Player 

1 Start Button

. If the game can be played with additional players, then each player will need to 

press their respective start button to add themselves (Using the 

Player 2 Start 

Button).

If the game requires additional “Coins” (such as during a continue screen), you can add these 
using the blue 

COIN

 button.

Pausing and Exiting A Game

At any point, you have the ability to pause the game using the red 

Pause Menu

 button. The 

pause menu gives you a few options, including save/load functionality, resuming the game 
you're currently playing or exiting the game back to the main games menu.

Navigate this menu using the 

joystick

, then make selections using the 

Player 1 A Button

.
