DUAL PLAYER MODE
Operation
Insert credits and press START to arrive at the Entry Registration screen. If Single Player Mode is desired,
simply press START again to begin the game.
Those wishing to compete with a human opponent in Dual Player Mode must insert coins into the
opponent’s cabinet. When opponent credits have been inserted, press START to begin the Dual Player
Mode sequence.
There is a time limit on the Entry Registration screen. If nothing is entered within the time limit, the Single
Player Mode sequence is activated.
Once Dual Player Mode has been set up, the next screen to appear will be the Truck Select screen. Both
Players may not select the same vehicle; the opponent’s choice is indicated by a cursor labelled “RIVAL”.
When the vehicles have been selected, the Area Select screen will follow. Both Players may select Area, but
in the case that different Areas are selected, an easier level is entered as the default.
The 2 Players race each other, and the one to reach the goal first within the allotted time wins. When the
winning Player passes a checkpoint, time is added onto the clock. When the clock counts down to 0, both
Players reach GAME OVER.
Notes
1. NITRO is available in Dual Player Mode. Players may obtain more Nitro by ramming the
rear hatch of the opponent’s vehicle, and collecting the Nitro that comes tumbling out. This
increases the Player’s Nitro by 1. NITRO is also available to be picked up at various points
along the course.
2. In Dual Player Mode, in addition to the Voice Recognition system, vocal transmissions are
possible between players. As with Single Player Mode, the MIC is operated by speaking into
the Receiver while holding down the MIC button. The speaker’s voice is altered, producing a
radio-like voice quality with realistic interference, and can be heard from the opponent’s
cabinet. The Vocal Communications feature differs from the average CB-Radio
transmission in that both parties use the radio communications device; both Players may
make transmissions and hear the other through their respective vehicle cabinets.
