GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions in its Instruction Manual. Make sure the MAIN POWER switch (located in the back of the console) is turned on. Press the standby/RESET button.
When the power indicator lights up, press the OPEN button and the disc tray will open. Place the W Smack Down!™ Shut Your Mouth 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 CARDS
To save game settings and progress, insert a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 or MEMORY CARD slot 2 of your PlayStation®2. You can load saved game data from the same card, or any memory card containing previously saved Smack Down!™ Shut Your Mouth games. For more information, see SAVING AND LOADING.
This title is compatible with the Multitap (for PlayStation®2). Controllers must be connected to consecutive ports, beginning with controller port 1-A.
DOUBLE TEAM MOVES
There are two different types of Double Team moves in Smack Down!™ Shut Your Mouth-Normal and Tag Team.
Normal
To perform a Normal Double Team move, one Superstar must lift an opponent into a grapple. A second Superstar must approach the two of them and press any of the four directional buttons and the button to execute the Double Team move.
Tag Team
Because tag teams have good chemistry, Tag Team Double Team moves are easier to execute than Normal Double Team moves. Simply Irish whip an opponent into your team's corner and execute a grapple (any directional button + button) to tag your opponent and deliver a devastating double dose of destruction. After the move, your partner will be the legal Superstar in the ring.
EXHIBITION
SINGLE
In a Single Match, two Superstars face off in one-on-one action. Choose NO MANAGER to take on your opponent single-handedly, or choose WITH MANAGER to have a Superstar accompany you to the ring and help you out when the ref isn't looking.
TAG
Two teams of two Superstars slug it out in this match type. You can choose to have a Tag Match WITH MANAGER to beef up your team, and you can also choose a TORNADO TAG, in which all four Superstars are in the ring simultaneously, without having to worry about tagging in or out.
SIX-MAN TAG
Take a Tag Match to the next level with a Six-Man Tag, in which two teams of three Superstars go at it. You can choose to have a TORNADO Six-Man Tag, which allows all six Superstars to be in the ring at once.
HANDICAP
Prove just how tough you are by taking on more than one opponent at a time. Not tough enough? Team up with a partner and take on a single Superstar. You can choose a ONE ON TWO match to face two opponents at once, a ONE ON TAG match to compete against a tag team, or a ONE ON THREE match for the fight of your life.
ROYAL RUMBLE®
Normally, the Royal Rumble® comes but once a year, but in Smack Down!™ Shut Your Mouth, you can take on up to 29 other Superstars anytime you want. Eliminate your rivals by throwing them over the top rope, and then get ready to take on the next opponent to run down the ramp.
KING OF THE RING™
The King of the Ring™ tournament puts eight Superstars in a single-elimination event where only one can reign supreme. Choose a SINGLE TOURNAMENT for Single Matches or a SPECIAL TOURNAMENT for Special Matches.
HARDCORE
Welcome to a match where anything goes and you go anywhere. Move through backstage areas by walking through doorways marked with a blue icon. You can have SINGLE, TORNADO TAG, and TORNADO SIX-MAN TAG Hardcore Matches, as well as a TRIPLE-THREAT™ TORNADO TAG match with three teams of two Superstars. And if teamwork isn't your style, try a TRIPLE-THREAT™, FATAL FOUR-WAY™ or TIME LIMIT match that pits up to six Superstars against each other.
SURVIVAL
Survival Matches push you to the limit against multiple opponents. TRIPLE-THREAT™ and FATAL FOUR-WAY™ Matches end when the first Superstar is pinned or submits, but 4-, 5-, and 6-MAN BATTLE ROYALS end when there is only one Superstar who hasn't been eliminated.
SPECIAL
Special Matches push Superstars to their limit and never fail to thrill and amaze the fans who witness them. Nothing gets the adrenaline flowing like a death-defying Ladder Match or a brutal Hell in the Cell™! What follows is a list of the Special Matches available in SmackDown!™ Shut Your Mouth.
CAGE
The classic "two men enter, one man leaves" match, the Cage Match has been a staple of sports-entertainment since the very beginning. You can play TORNADO TAG, TRIPLE THREAT™, and FATAL FOUR-WAY™ Cage Matches, in which your Superstar must wear down his opponent and escape the cage. If an opponent is making a break
