Setting Up
*Note: Illustration may not match all PlayStation 2 console types. For owners of SCPH-70000 series PlayStation 2 systems, refer to the setup instructions supplied with your system.* Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located on the back of the console) is turned ON.
Press the RESET button. When the power indicator lights up, press the OPEN button and the disc tray will open. Place the Super Monkey Ball™ Deluxe disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up. Press the OPEN button again and the disc tray will close.
Attach game controllers and other peripherals, as appropriate. Follow on-screen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software.
Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB)(for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 system. You can load saved game data from the same memory card or any memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) containing previously saved games.
When you start the game, if there is no memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) inserted, the game will warn you and ask if you would like to retry (insert the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) first) or continue without saving. If the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) does not contain a game file, the game will ask you either to continue without loading (create new file), or to retry. Follow the on-screen instruction to start the game.
When the game file is being saved, manually or automatically, a message will be displayed to notify that such action is taking place. Do not switch the power OFF or remove the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) while the game data is being saved or loaded.
