For the NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. Released in the US in 1990. =============================================================================== Introduction ************ Get ready for the ride of your lifetime! With HEAVY SHREDDIN', you'll be traveling down slick, snow covered mountains on a single snowboard that's not much larger than a ski. To survive your runs, you'll have to master some hot moves to get around the dangerous obstacles ready to trip you up. Complete all five events (18 levels in total) and you'll be rewarded with the coveted WORLD CUP trophy. It won't be easy. But you can bet it will be fun! =============================================================================== Controls ******** Up Aim left if standing; turn up if tucked Down Aim right if standing; turn down if tucked Left Stand straight up Right Tuck and gain speed B Button Duck A Button Jump/Kick SELECT Select new game START Pause and Resume At the start of each game, you'll first see a trail map screen that shows you the name of the trial you're on and the events within the current trial. There are five events and a total of 18 levels of play. In order to move on the next event, you must first successfully complete the run you're on. Reach the end of any trial and you'll be presented with a special message. Reach the end of all events and you'll win the WORLD CUP trophy! When you're ready, press START. You have 4 lives at the start of each game. Every time you fall or fail to qualify, you lose one life. Lose all four lives and the game ends. If you reach the next trail, you'll earn a bonus life. If you fall and you have remaining lives, you'll be sent back to the beginning of that event to try again. You then hit Start again to begin your next trail. You score points based on each screen you mange to pass. The point values are 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 per screen, depending on the skill level. To make it to the end of a run, you'll have to practice and master the art of turning, ducking, jumping and stunting. Turning can be done in two ways: tucked or standing. In the standing position, simply point the board where you want to go. In the tucked position, you'll simply move up and down the screen. (use the tuck position to gain greater speed.) Ducking is an easy enough maneuver. Just press the B key to duck under obstacles. Jumping can be done by pressing the A key. There are five different jumps: a regular jump and four stunt jumps. Stunting is where you'll really get your kicks. Stunts are for survival as well as for hot-dogging. Practice them enough. To stunt, you'll need to press any of the four direction keys (UP/DOWN/RIGHT/ LEFT). The direction key is how you'll choose a particular stunt. =============================================================================== Stunts ****** Toe Grab Stunt: Press A key and UP direction. Hand-Plant Stunt: Press A key and DOWN direction. Mid-Air 360 Stunt: Press A key and RIGHT direction. Mule-Kick Stunt: Press A key and LEFT direction. =============================================================================== Events ****** There are five events in all: Downhill, Slalom, Half-pipe, Moguls and Backwoods. The first four have three levels of difficulty. Backwoods has six. On some events you'll be working against the clock. On others you'll merely try to survive while racking up as many points as possible: 1. Downhill: The object here is to get down the slope as fast as possible. Guide your board by pressing either the UP or DOWN key. Jump (press A key) over any obstacles you can't pass. if you fall, you'll be sent back to the top of the trail for another try. This events has three levels of difficulty. 2. Slalom: Guide the board between the gates by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. If you fall or miss going through a gate, you'll be sent back to the top of the trail for another try. This events has three levels of difficulty. 3. Half-pipe: This event requires stunts. But first you'll need enough momentum to get high enough on the wall to do a stunt. To do this, press and hold UP when the board is moving up the far wall and DOWN when it's moving up the near wall. once you've gained enough height, you'll be given an on-screen command to perform a stunt. This events has three levels of difficulty. 4. Moguls: Guide the board by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. The small moguls (bumps in the snow) can be handled by simply jumping over them (A button). To get past large mogul fields, you must use either a mule-kick or a toe grab stunt. To do a mule-kick, aim your board at the mogul and wait long enough for the shredder to bend up. Then press the A button and Left direction and you'll mule kick over the mogul field. This event has three levels of difficulty. 5. Backwoods: Not for the faint-hearted, this event has a total of 23 difficult obstacles to deal with. Each requires a different response in order for you to survive. Obstacle Response: ----------------------- Billboard Duck Chalet Roof Tuck to stay low, use DOWN to adjust angle Cliff Jump Off and adjust angle with UP Crevasse Small: Jump Over / Large: Toe Grab Embankment Accelerate around trees Gates Avoid / Pass through Hay Ball Jump Over / Mule-Kick Ice Turning / jumping to avoid Ice Pond Tuck to stay low / Jump Over Logs Jump Over / Mule-Kick / Turn to avoid Metal Fences Turn to avoid Mogul Jump Over / Mule-Kick Mogul Field Mule-Kick River Use Bridge Rocks Turning / jumping to avoid Rope Fence Duck Underneath Showgun Hose Jump Over Small Trail Turn while standing Streams Jump Over Trees Turning to avoid Truck Tuck to hit jump Tunnel Duck Waterfall Use small islands to cross =============================================================================== Codes ***** Begin with 99 Lives: Hold Left, A, B and press Start on the title screen.
