How to Play
MAIN MENU
PLAY MODES
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction is about demolition derby-style combat using the enormous power of Monster Trucks. There are three different Play Mode options.
•
EXHIBITION - Compete against other Monster Trucks in a single match. Multiplayer is also available in this mode.
•
SEASON - Test your skills in a series of Exhibition matches that make up a Season competition.
•
MINI-GAME - If you want a change of pace, try one of these small games that involves racing or even more challenging combat. Multiplayer is also available in this mode.
DIFFICULTY LEVELS
There are four difficulty levels in Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction to provide the widest possible range of play.
•
EASY - A good way to start and get a feel for the game without the action becoming too difficult. In this mode, there are fewer opposing trucks, they do less damage, and you have more time during timed events.
•
NORMAL - This is the average level of difficulty. It offers balanced play for the majority of players.
•
HARD - This is the mode for more experienced players who are looking for a greater challenge. Here there are more trucks and they do more damage than in Normal mode. You also have less time in timed events.
•
EXTREME - Only for those truly dedicated and highly skilled players seeking the most intense Monster Truck action! Here you face the highest potential number of opposing trucks, which have the capability of doing the most damage to your truck. You also have the least amount of time in timed events.
OPTIONS MENU
•
SOUND - Allows you to adjust the volume level of either the background music or the sound effects.
•
LOAD/SAVE - Allows you to save the current settings of the game to the memory card or to load previously saved game data from the memory card.
•
CONTROLLER PORT 1 - Choose from one of the three layout options for the controller port 1.
•
CONTROLLER PORT 2 - Choose from one of the three layout options for the controller port 2.
•
CREDITS - Select this option to see who is responsible for making Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction.
Note that Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction only supports MEMORY CARD slot 1.
GAME STYLES
In both EXHIBITION and SEASON Play Modes, Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction offers three different play style options to choose from.
•
DEATH MATCH - The ultimate in combat and destruction; play continues until either your Monster Truck is the "Last Man Standing" or until your vehicle is destroyed.
•
CASH GRAB - Instead of seeking to destroy all the other Monster Trucks, the goal of this play style is to acquire as many of the Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction Cash Power-Ups (see the Power-Ups section) within the time allotted.
•
POINTS - This is the simplest of the play styles available. The goal here is to earn enough points ($) by destroying as much of the selected game world as possible. Naturally, destroying other Monster Trucks gives you the biggest reward. You can also gain points simply by running over smaller vehicles, smashing objects, and just being generally destructive, or by collecting the Cash Power-Ups available.
NOTE - If you selected the SEASON Play Mode, you can load a previously saved SEASON Game from your memory card at this menu screen.
PLAYER SETUP (MULTIPLAYER)
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction supports two players for multiplayer action. You can play multiplayer EXHIBITION games or MINI-GAMES (the only exception to this is the Stadium Freestyle Mini-Game). The SEASON Play Mode is strictly a single-player game mode.
TRUCK SELECT
Courtesy of Clear Channel Entertainment, Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction provides an incredible twenty six (26) different licensed Monster Trucks to choose from each with its own style and statistics.

TRUCK STATISTICS
Each truck is slightly different - not only in looks, but also in four different statistical categories. Each of these statistics is of great value at one point or another during gameplay.
•
Horsepower - How much the truck can accelerate
•
Acceleration - How fast the truck can reach its top speed
•
Cornering - How fast and easily the truck can make turns
•
Traction - How difficult is it to change directions and come to a stop
When you select a truck, keep in mind how its special values match up with your preferred style of play. Once you master a particular style, experiment with different Monster Jam trucks for a whole new experience.
TRUCK VIEWER
Instead of just selecting a truck and going directly into the game, you have the option at the Truck Select Screen to preview your chosen Monster Truck. Selecting the TRUCK VIEWER feature takes you to a small arena filled with bumps and other obstacles so that you can drive your truck around and check out its physics, suspension, and size.
If you decide that you don't like the truck you've just viewed, you can continue scrolling through the Truck Select Screen until finding one that suits you. Keep in mind that before selecting another truck, you need to exit the Truck Viewer feature.
