How to Play
Starting Up
Set up your Sega Saturn™ system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in Control Pads 1 and 2.
Note: World Series Baseball™ II is for one to four players.
Place the World Series Baseball™ II disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn™. The Sega Saturn logo appears on screen. If nothing appears, turn the system off and make sure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.
If you wish to stop a game in progress and return to the on-screen Control panel, simultaneously press Buttons A, B, C and Start on the Sega Saturn Control Pad. When the game Title screen appears press again to go to the on-screen Control panel.
Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center of the disc and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Getting Started
After the Sega and Sega Sports logos, the game intro appears, followed by the game demo. Press Start at any time to bring up the Title screen. Press Start again.
Next select either GAME START to access the Game Menu or MLB Highlights to see a special video offer available through Major League Baseball Home Video™.
Game Menu
Start play right away with one of the play modes, change game features or access the game database from the Game Menu. Press the D-Pad to highlight and a Confirm Button to select one of the following modes:
•
Exhibition: One game decides the winner. Slug it out with a friend or the computer.
•
Pennant Race: Go up against the other teams in your league to determine who makes it to the playoffs, and who is sent packing until next season. At the end of your season awaits the greatest prize of all: the World Series Championship™. Choose a season length of 13, 26, or 162 games.
•
Playoffs: The more you win, the further you go. In the first round, the team that wins three times moves to the next level on the playoffs tree. If you advance further, the League Championship Series™ and World Series™ are the best of seven. If you win four in the World Series™, the championship is yours. This is a mode for up to four players.
•
Data Base: All the important stats for all of the players' performances last year are available for your review.
•
All-Star Game: America's mid summer classic is here for you to play! Lead the National League™ or American League™ All-Stars to glory in this mode.
•
Home Run Derby™: Nothing is as satisfying as smacking the long ball and setting a record for your efforts. In Home Run Derby™ you can do it as many times as you want. Select your power hitter and swing for the bleachers!
•
Edit Team: Two teams available only in World Series Baseball™ II are yours to customize. Select the skills for the players in your quest to build an unbeatable team.
•
Options: Access sound and data saving options with this mode.
•
Backup Utility: Press a Confirm Button to access the backup memory. When you select this feature, you can access game data stored in the internal RAM of the Sega Saturn. Refer to the Sega Saturn Instruction Manual for instructions on accessing your game data.
•
Exit: Press a Confirm Button to return to the Game Menu.
Options
Press the D-Pad UP or DOWN to highlight an option. For Audio, Music Test or SE Test press the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT to change the setting.
•

•
Music Test: Sample the background music (BGM) tracks of the game. Press a Confirm Button to play the track, and Button B to stop it.
•
SE Test: Sample the game's sound effect (SE) tracks as you would the BGM tracks.
The Sega Saturn Backup™ Cartridge
In addition to the internal RAM, you can save a Pennant Race or Playoffs game to a Sega Saturn Backup cartridge (sold separately).
Should you have a Sega Saturn Backup cartridge inserted, you are asked after you select GAME START on the Title screen whether the data for the game should be saved to SYSTEM MEMORY or CARTRIDGE MEMORY. Press the D-Pad UP or DOWN and a Confirm Button to select.
Refer to the Sega Saturn Backup instruction manual for further instructions on accessing your game data.
Note: Insert the Sega Saturn Backup cartridge when the power to the Saturn is OFF. Inserting the cartridge when the Saturn is ON could result in damage to the cartridge.

Tips & Maps
At Bat
Use the Home Run Derby mode for batting practice, and practice bunts only after becoming accustomed to regular swings and pitch speeds.
Baserunning
Use your fastest runners, identifiable by their high stolen base counts, for long leadoffs and stealing bases.
Pitching
Utilize a variety of pitches since some hitters handle breaking balls well, and use pick-off moves to catch base runners or secure crucial outs.
In the Field
Focus on getting the ball to the bases first before adding complex defensive moves, and use the AUTO Defense Mode when learning.
