SAVING GAMES
Samurai Shodown automatically saves the last five 1 player games. If you choose not to continue a 1 player game, that game will be saved and you may resume play at a later date. Only five games can be saved. When a saved game is selected it moves to the top of the saved game list. If five games are saved the addition of a new save will bump the oldest game off the list.

NVRAM
If your 3DO has available NVRAM, Samurai Shodown will save the high score and high time screen. If the NVRAM is full of data from other saved titles you may be prompted to remove data saved by another title in order to make room for the Samurai Shodown data. It's up to you to decide what data you'd rather store. FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
Your goal is to kick ass and take names! This is a fight to the finish. There is no second place. The winner of a match is the first player to win two rounds.
You lose rounds by:
•
Losing all your hit points (dying).
•
Having less hit points than your enemy when time runs out.
Bonus Stages
Hack apart straw dummies for extra fame and fortune.
Scoring
You receive bonus points for the amount of time, hit points, and attack power that your character has at the end of a round. The more points the better!
Items
•
Hit points: In Samurai Shodown time doesn't heal all; food does. Chowing a chicken will add hit points. •
Bonus points: Grab cash to increase your score.
•
Kaboom: Watch out for these things. You'll lose things you'd rather keep.
Continue Play
After losing a game press the Start button to continue. You can continue three times.
