Pass
Shoot
Stroke left or right
If you stroke either to the left or right
when you have the ball, you will pass it
to a teammate in that direction.
Stroke from bottom to top
If you stroke up when you have the ball,
you will shoot it. You score if the ball
goes in the basket.
About Scoring
How many points you get when you score depends on
from where you shoot the ball. You score 20 points if you make
the basket from the green-shaded zone in the diagram. You get 30 points if you
make the basket from anywhere outside it. Special shots are worth 40 points
regardless of where you shoot them from. Coins that you had before making the
basket are worth one point each--they are added to the score (p. 14).
If you set the ? panels to OFF, the number of points you score will change (p.20).
Special Shots
Steal
Jump
Enter command twice
Each character has his or her
own command. When you
enter the same command
twice (and if it’s successful),
you will shoot a special shot.
Select Challenges then Special
Shot (p. 15) and check the
commands and their effects.
