Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people
who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision,
eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or
momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions
that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read
and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-
projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on
them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the
screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when
video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created
when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to nd this
information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay
for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

Introducing Your Host ... Van Tastic!
Hey there all you twisted sickos! Welcome to the show! The object of this crazy game
is to compete against a group of bloodthirsty contestants in a series of lighthearted
and (hopefully) lethal battles. The battles are fought over a series of four increasingly
strange and challenging stages. You’ll have to successfully complete all the battles on a
stage before you can advance to the next. Whether it’s another outlandish battle arena,
sophisticated weapon, or oddball contestant, you’ll unlock something new every time
you win a battle!
The lucky devil who survives all four deadly stages of fun will win the game
and find out what’s behind the door of our vault. That’s right, it’s ...
The Prize!
Now, I can’t tell you what The Prize is exactly, but what I
can
tell you is that it’s
everything your little heart desires ... if you’re ruthless enough to claim it!
Can’t wait to get your greedy mitts on the fabulous goodies in store for you?
Well, settle down, you drooling maniac! You’ll get your chance soon enough.
And now,
here’s the man you’ve all
been waiting for. He’s talent personified,
a dream come true, and a really beautiful person ...

This cantankerous
contestant’s
extremities were
stolen by a goodluck–charm factory,
and he just can’t
seem to stop
grumbling about it!
Put your bandaged
stumps together
for ...
LUCKY!
Though this
unassuming
contestant is
clearly a ightless
waterfowl, he has
recurring fantasies
in which he imagines
himself to be a
merciless bird of
prey. Flap your
useless ippers
for ...
EUGENE!
This contestant
mumbles
incoherently and
stinks like a sewer,
but what our little
orange omnivore
lacks in mind and
body he makes up
for in ravenous
appetite. Let’s have
a heaping helping of
applause for ...
TOOF!
This tantalizing
contestant won’t
let anything, not
even clothing, stand
in the way of her
winning The Prize!
Put your sweaty
palms together for ...
LUCY!
The ladies are
gonna love this
contestant...almost
as much as he loves
himself! Flex your
undersized pecs
for ...
LANCE!
Our next contestant
is pathologically
attracted to shiny
objects (and she
hasn’t ruled out the
dull ones, either).
What’s yours is hers,
so please give up
your belongings to ...
CHARITY!
Some would call our
next contestant a
bit laid-back. I like to
think of him as quite
possibly brain-dead!
Let’s have a rousing
round of applause to
wake up ...
OTTO!
“Go stuff a
tube sock in yer
jabbering gob,
ya maggot!”
“It’s really great
to be here, eh?
(
Yeah, great!
I don’t stand a
freakin’ chance!
)”
“Mfffrglorp!
Jheeshpf!
Errrbfft!”
“Is that a
controller in your
hand or are you
just happy to
see me?”
“The ladies call me
The
Loin
King.
Heh heh ...
get it?”
“I want the
shiny Prize!
It’s MINE!”
“Hey man, quit
hogging the
blanket!”
You’ll have to hold your horses for now, because it’s time to introduce ...
The Seven Contestants!

Since I’m such a generous and thoughtful guy,
I want to help you inflict as much damage as
possible on your opponents while avoiding
damage to yourself. So I’m making the
magnanimous decision to share a few of my
helpful controller tips for making the most
of your mayhem!
Power Jump
Finding yourself falling short? Try holding down the
Jump button longer to jump higher and farther!
Basic Attack
If you don’t have a weapon, you can still get in
on the action. Get up close to your opponent and
press the Attack button to sock ‘em in the kisser!
Spike Attack
Press and hold Jump to rise high above your
opponent, and then press Attack in mid-air to
spike down on top of your opponent’s head.
Sidestepping
Don’t forget to use your left and right triggers!
Sidestepping is extremely effective for
maneuvers like picking up stars, attacking and
evading enemies, and avoiding missiles and
other weapons.
