NBA All-Star Challenge 2 is a basketball game with six mini games, mostly based on real-life one-on-one variants. The main differences to the predecessor are the new mini game Slam Dunk (replaces H.O.R.S.E.) and slightly reworked graphics for the others. Before each game, the player can choose between 27 real-life athletes, one from each NBA team's 1991 roster. All games can be played by two players via the Game Boy link cable. The disciplines are: One On One: A standard one-on-one match which is restricted to the area directly before the basket. The winning condition can be set before starting the match: either scoring a certain amount of points or scoring the most within a certain time frame. Free Throws: This mini game is about a free throw, i.e. trying to score from a fixed place without getting disturbed by an opponent. A cursor automatically moves around the basket and when the player presses the button, the athlete throws the ball to the cursor's position. The number of throws can be set before the game. Three Point Shootout: There are five marked points around the basket; directly at the border where scoring rewards three points. The athlete stands at each point for a certain amount of time before he switches to the next point. A throwing attempt is simply performed by pressing the button twice: first for jumping and the second time for throwing the ball. This mini game is available in a training and a competitive variant. Slam Dunk: Before each round, the player selects the performed dunk variant from a list. This mode is shown from the side, the player moves towards the basket and has to press the right button with the correct timing to score. This mode is available in a training (the game gives a few pointers for the timing) and a competitive mode. Accuracy Shootout: Works similar to Three Point Shootout with the difference that the points are spread all over the area. The player needs to walk to the spot and, if the previous shot was missed, collect the ball from the place it bounced to. The player can either set the points manually before the mini game starts or use the random generator. Tournament: A series of one-on-one matches in knock-out mode.

One-on-One is intense — quick shots, steals and rebounds make for exciting play. This is just what you'd expect, the ultimate half-court showdown. Make sure you turn in a thrilling performance.
Drive past your opponent, make the play and take your rightful place in NBA history.
One-On-One Choices
Play To:
•
A BUTTON and B BUTTON — Select the score you want to play to. A BUTTON increases the score — B BUTTON decreases the score.

How To Play
From schoolyard showmanship to the proud tradition of the NBA, this is your opportunity to play with the best. You are playing to a packed house. Show them you can revolutionize the game. One-on-One is the hottest game in town — dazzle the fans with your ball handling, dominate your opponent and you can lead the league!
Offense:
•
JUMP SHOT — Press A BUTTON once to jump, press A BUTTON again to shoot.
•
SLAM DUNK — When close to the basket, press A BUTTON to jump, then press B BUTTON to slam dunk.
Defense:
•
BLOCK — Press A BUTTON to jump and block an opponent's shot.
•
STEAL — Press B BUTTON to steal the ball from your opponent.
NOTE: Both players normally face the direction they are moving in, but if you want to continue to face the same way, even after changing direction, hold the B BUTTON while moving.
Don't be afraid to play the game intensely, but make sure you show good sportsmanship.
Violations:
Charging. Blocking. Travelling. Didn't clear the ball. Shot clock violation. You can be called for a violation and lose the ball just as if you were on an NBA court.
Free Throw Competition
Guarantee an increase in your personal PPG (points per game). Excite the fans with your ability to sink a basket from the foul line. If you take your foul shooting seriously and practice often, you can lead the league. It's one more way to assure your place in the record book.
The Set-Up
Choose the number of shots you want to attempt by pushing either the A BUTTON or the B BUTTON. Then Press START to access the Player Selection screen. SELECT PLAYERS as described on page 7.
How To Play
There's an art to consistently sinking the ball from the foul line. As you play, you're looking over your shoulder at the basket. The cursor is moving randomly and is only partially under your control. Line up your shot by centering the cursor over the basket...you can't ask for a better shot than this.
•
CROSSKEY — To center the cursor in the box on the backboard.
•
SHOOT — Press A BUTTON.
Three-Point Shootout
You've got to get in the "rhythm." Shoot five balls from each of five different locations around the 3 point line and watch the fans cheer when you put one in the hoop. Choose WARMUP before challenging the best of the NBA. Do it...let it flow...get the timing and you get the basket.
Choose The Game
Select CONTEST or WARMUP. SELECT PLAYERS as described on page 7.
How To Play
•
SHOOT — Press the A BUTTON to jump; press A BUTTON again to shoot. It's all in the timing. Practice...practice...practice.
Contest
You shoot 25 times, five times from each location. Then your opponent does the same. Make every shot count. The first four shots are worth
