5 . PRECATIONS TO BE HEEDED WHEN MOVING THE MACHINE

When moving the machine, be sure to pull out the plug from the power supply. Moving the machine with the plug as is inserted can damage the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock. When moving the machine on the floor, retract the Adjusters and ensure that Casters make contact with the floor. During transportation, pay careful attention so that Casters do not tread power cords. Damaging the power cords can cause an electric shock and/or short circuit. When lifting the cabinet, be sure to hold the catch portions or bottom part. Lifting the cabinet by holding other portions can damage parts and installation portions, due to the empty weight of the cabinet, and cause personal injury.

Use care when handling glass made parts. When the glass is damaged, fragments of glass can cause injury

Where to hold

Caster

On level surfaces, move the machine by causing the casters to make contact with the surfaces.

Where there are steps (or step like differences in grade), move the machine by seperating into each unit.

Do not push the PTV from the rear side. Pushing the PTV from the rear side can cause the PTV to fall down. Push it from the side.

6 . CONTENTS OF GAME

The following explanations apply to the case the product is functioning statisfactorily. Should there be any moves different from the following contents, some sort of faults may have occurred. Immmediatly look into the cause of the fault and eliminate the cause thereof to ensure satisfactory operation

When the character is decided, the game starts. The “FOOT CONTROLLER IS UNLOCKED” message is

displayed and after the display is finished, the Skate Board is unlocked. Then, Skate Board slide operation can be performed.

In the similar manner as in the actual Skate Board, the Board can be turned in the desired direction by inclining it. Furthermore, sliding the Skate Board allows for even more sharp turns.

Backward and forward inputting

Backward inputting while running allows for high jumping (OLLIE) and forward inputting, low jumpng (NOLLIE).

During game, the folowing screen is displayed.

Remaining Time When 0 is displayed, the game is over. Passing the checkpoint allows TIME EXTENDED to be displayed under the Remaining T ime.

Current Score Displays the total points of trick scored up to the present.

Trick Grade Displays the difficulty level of the trick applied (6 catagories, i.e.,S~E) and the score.

Name of Trick Displays the name of trick applied. When failing to accomplish the trick, TRICK MISS is diplayed in the center of the screen.

BGM and Name of Artist Displays the name of the BGM being played, and the name of Artist who is singing.

In the Course, a checkpoint is set. Passing the checkpoint within the time limit allows the remaining time to be extended, and game play can be continued. Also, note that earning the Time Bonus scattered in the course enables you to extend the remaining time.

This product is aimed at earning high score by applying trick(s). Basically, the player can apply the trick at three places, i.e., Jumping Board, Bank (Half Pipe) and Rail (Handrail).

APPLYING THE JUMP TRICK:

The Jump trick is applied by inputting the Foot Controller on the Jump Board. Due to variation of inputting, the type of tricks will vary. The closer the inputting position is to the edge of the Jumpin Board, the higher the difficulty level of the trick (6 catagories, i.e., S~E) will be. Inputting the Foot Controller after passing the Jumping Board results in a Trick Miss.

HOW TO APPLY BANK (HALF PIPE) TRICK

The BANK TRICK occurs when you come out of the BANK. Inputting the Foot Controller at the very moment you come out of the BANK aloows the varied type of trick to be applied The faser you come out from the BANK and closer the coming-out angle is to the vertically, the higher the difficulty level (6 catagories, i.e., S~E) of trick will be. in case of BANK, there will be no TRICK MISS.

HOW TO APPLY RAIL TRICKS

Jumping on to such rail shaped portion as the handrail enables you to apply the SLIDE based trick.

Lamps on both sides of Coin Chute Tower light up and flash in the manner matching the trick.

When the remaining time comes to an end in the middle of Course or each course is cleared completly, the game is over.

When the game is completly foinished, the total score of the trick(s) and the Bonus Score based on the remaining time when reaching the finisheing line are comprehensively added, and thus evaluation in 6 catagories, i.e., S~E is performed.
