1. GAME STORY

“FEEL THE VIBRATING PULSE OF YOUR BIKE — IT’S
ALIVE!”

This is Motorcross racing like you’ve never seen it before. Brutal all terrain
racing. 10 bone-crushing outdoor tracks. Race over LAND, SEA, ICE, and
SNOW. Muddy swamps, ice, downhills and choppy seas. Experience 200 foot
drops, broken freeways, switchbacks, and suicide tracks. Fight your way
through against 20 other riders.

Like an actual jet ski, your unit VIBRATES, giving you the real feel of the
steering column — with the wind in your hair and your Fate in your hands!

“ ”
—to lean forward. (Leaning forward lowers your wind-resistance and offers a

little extra speed and extra stability.)

“ ”
—to lean back. (Leaning back transfers your weight to the rear of the bike and

gives you greater lift off of bumps and jumps, but it reduces your overall
stability.)

RESET

—to reset your unit if your game malfunctions.

4. HOW TO PLAY

Use the ON/OFF button to turn on the game.
Then use the SELECT button to select your mode. In the beginning, you can

only toggle between the PRACTICE and the FULL SEASON. After you
complete the full season, you go automatically to the STUNT RACE.

IF YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR THE STUNT RACE, YOU’LL SEE
YOUR BIKE DO SOME AMAZING THINGS!

Use the PAUSE/START button to confirm your mode selection.
Then use the SELECT button to toggle your difficulty level. There are 3

difficulty levels: Easiest, Intermediate and Hardest.

2. OBJECT OF THE GAME

“GET ON TRACK — AND COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE”

There are three difficulty levels,

Easiest, Intermediate and Hardest.

There are also three racing modes, PRACTICE, FULL SEASON and STUNT
RACE. In PRACTICE mode, you’re on a solo run against the clock. You race
for the best possible time. In FULL SEASON, you race a full season and have
to complete 10 different tracks. You WIN the mode if you can finish 1st! In
STUNT RACE, you can only choose this mode after you have completed play
on all ten tracks of the full season. In stunt race, your bike gains performance
enhancements and can do better jumping, twists, and turns. You’ll make moves
you never thought possible!

Use the PAUSE/START button to confirm your view selection.
Now choose your bike. Use the SELECT button to toggle through six different

bikes.
There are three light bikes and three heavy bikes:
3 Heavy bikes (heavy, heavier, heaviest). Heavy bikes are more stable and

massive and can travel quickly over small obstacles. They are best suited for
plowing through waves and bumps. Take the corners wider than you would on
the light bikes. Magnetic grapple frequently to minimize hard turning. Going
wider on your turns is longer, but you’ll hold your speed better. Use your mass
to your advantage. Smash up those light bikes you’re racing against!

3 Light bikes (Light, lighter, lightest). Light bikes thrive in tight obstacle areas.
Their high acceleration lets you shoot out of tight corners. They respond well to
jumps. They’re more maneuverable than heavy bikes but more vulnerable to
collision and ramming. But don’t fear bike-to-bike contact. Momentum is a
product of both mass (weight) and velocity (speed). If you angle it right and
you’re going fast enough, you can unseat the rider of a heavy bike with a much
lighter bike!

Confirm your bike selection with the PAUSE/START button, and game begin
automatically.

To complete a full season, you must complete 10 different tracks. As you
complete each race in the full season, you will gradually be eliminating other
racers. In the first race, there are 20 racers. There is a different number of racers
left after each race:

After Race 1: 15 racers left.
After Race 2: 12 racers left.
After Race 3: 10 racers left.
After Race 4: 8 racers left.
After Race 5: 7 racers left.
After Race 6: 6 racers left.
After Race 7: 5 racers left.
After Race 8: 4 racers left.
After Race 9: 3 racers left.
In the 10th and final race, you also have 3 racers.

Even though you are lowering the number of racers in each race, each race
becomes harder, because the remaining racers become more aggressive, trying to
knock you over!

You will experience different track surfaces — hard, faster surfaces like
CONCRETE, DIRT PATHS, and ICE. Softer, slower surfaces like WATER and
SNOW.Your Jet Moto’s bike’s suspension fields will react differently to each
surface, influencing both traction and grip.

Experiment with pulling back and leaning forward! By pulling back, you will
“take more air” off the jump for extra speed! Pulling back can help you jump
across ocean waves, rather than falling splat! into the water!!!.

Completing all ten races, automaticaly brings you to the STUNT RACE. In the
stunt race, your bike can twist and turn in the air, on jumps, and generally has
better agility as you race this final race!

5. RACING “SMARTS”

Here’s some things you need to know for ultimate performance:

HUD

Your “Heads Up Display shows: Laps in race, current lap, current position,
elapsed time (during the Practice mode) and turbo indicator.

TURBO BOOSTS

Your bike holds a maximum of four turbo boosts (indicated by four dots on
screen). You begin each race with all four and they are increased by one each
time you complete a lap. Each turbo boost gives you a short but violent burst of
speed. Turbo boosts are best used in straight-aways. It’s hard to win without
strategically using them!

SPEEDOMETER

Keep track of your speeds during the Full Season mode!

MAGNETIC GRAPPLE METER

This is the energy bar on your HUD that shows you how much grappling energy
you have left. The energy replenishes slowly as you go!

HANDLING

The better the handling, the more responsive a bike. The lighter bikes are
generally a little more agile and jumpy while heavier bikes are more stable.

ACCELERATION

Acceleration is rated from standing start to top speed. However, a bike’s mass,
lift, and handling may result in some unexpected advantages and weaknesses.
Some bikes may have great jump (acceleration) but don’t hold mid-range speeds
well, others may start slow but really move to top speeds in a short time. Don’t
be afraid to experiment with different bikes!

MASS

The mass (weight) of a bike influences its overall stability and handling. The
heavier bikes are less likely to throw you when you get rammed by another rider
or run into an obstacle. Heavier bikes are also more likely to knock other riders
off course when you collide with them.

LIFT

Lift rates the strength of the suspension field that supports the bike. Lift is felt
most when you go off jumps and hi bumps. The stronger the lift, the more air
you’ll get off of the ramps. Usually you’ll want to stay close to the ground, but
if you know how to use them, bouncier bikes can give you some serious speeds!

MAGNETIC GRAPPLING

The closer you are to the post, the faster you’ll go around it. If you release too
late, you’ll smash into a barrier. Start wide on the corners, get a feel for the
range of the post, and develop a knack for letting go at the right time. Turn with
the grapple so you don’t go around the post and come out facing the wrong way.
A good grapple technique can send you out of the turn faster than your top
speed, even faster than a turbo boost!

TIME

STEER INTO GRAPPLING POSITION!
OBSTACLES

• Ramps: Steer onto ramps for jumping.

• Posts: Steer into position to grapple with posts.

• Bumps: Watch out for bumpy surfaces — no matter where you’re racing.

• Barriers: Keep control of your bike — or you can lose control and smash!

• Other riders: Knock them off course — before they knock you off first!

4. Replace the battery compartment cover and the
screws that secure it in place.
