The Scoring System
A. Point system
The player has 2 attempts to answer a question correctly.
A correct answer on the first attempt scores 100 points. If the first answer is wrong, then the question is displayed again.
If the question is then answered correctly on the second attempt, 50 points are added to the score. If the second answer
is also wrong the unit displays the correct answer and no points are added to the score.
B. Reward system
Your Power Spider-Man features 36 Marvel characters in total. You can browse through the encyclopaedia to learn
more about them, and you will use them in the Marvel Trump game. However, when you first use your computer, you
can only use 12 characters out of the 36 as 12 characters are unlocked and the rest are locked. The status of the charac
ters will be displayed in the encyclopaedia or Marvel Trump game. To unlock the rest of the characters, you must play
the activities and answer correctly.
By answering correctly, you will fill up a power bar which will be shown in the scoring animation. When the power bar is
full a new Marvel character will be unlocked.
The power bar contains 30 units. In level 1, 100 points will fill up the power bar by 1
unit, so per game round the bar can be filled with 10 units maximum.
In level 2, 50 points will fill up the power bar 1 unit, so per game round the bar can
be filled with 20 units maximum.
In level 1, if a question is answered on the 2nd try, only 50 points are scored.
You then need to get another 50 points within this game round to have the full 100
-
3
4
points and fill the power bar by 1 unit at the end of the game round.
If at the end of the game round the player has a score which cannot be divided by 100 (i.e. 850, 7 question on the 1st
try and 3 questions on the 2nd try) then the power bar will be filled by 8 units. The 50 points that are left over are lost
and cannot be brought forward to the next game round. The number of units inside the power bar is stored in the unit. If
you exceed 30 units, the extra units will be carried forward to the next power bar (i.e. the power bar already contains 26
units and 9 units are added, then the bar is filled up until 30, reset and the empty bar is filled up until 5).
When you filled up the power bar, a new Marvel character will be released. With this scoring system, you have the
greatest incentive to learn and perform well if you want to use all the Marvel characters.
Note: if you have unlocked all 36 Marvel characters and wish to start all over again, use a pointy object such as a paper
clip to press the RESET button located under the computer and opposite the battery compartment. This will empty your
power bar, and you will only have 12 characters unlocked.

Press the MARVEL TRUMP key to enter Marvel Trump game. The computer “deals” 6
random characters to each player 1 and computer or player 2. Remember that only
characters that are already unlocked in the Marvel encyclopaedia can be used in
Marvel Trump.
The cards are dealt in a random order. That means the player and the computer have a
“virtual” stack of cards and after the cards are dealt the order of the cards inside the stack
is fixed. Only the card on top is available for playing.
If Marvel Trump has just been entered then player 1 has the first call, otherwise the winner of the last game has the first
call.

the UP/DOWN keys to scroll through the information. The statistical information displays 6 criteria for each character:
intelligence, strength, speed, durability, energy projection, and fighting skills. Each criterion is evaluated from 1 to 7, 7
being the highest.

opponent’s character. Select the criteria using the UP/DOWN keys and confirm with ENTER.
After pressing ENTER, your opponent’s character will be shown and a one-on-on battle will begin.
The computer compares the values of the 2 characters’ criteria and the character with the highest value wins. The card
of the losing character goes to the winner’s stack of cards. It is put to the bottom of the stack of cards together with the
card that the winner played.
Then, a screen indicates the number of cards each player has.

If the value of the two characters’ criterion is equal; there is a draw. None of the two players gets the 2 cards. They can
be won in the next round and are “put aside” for the moment. The player who called the values during the draw calls the
next value. The player who wins this fight gets 4 cards. If there is another draw in this round, the players fight for 6 cards
and so on.
In case both players end up with 0 cards (only possible if both player have 6 cards on hand and then play a draw 6 times
in a row) then a new game starts.
