Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a scooter-based action-adventure game where players control Wasa B. to rescue his favorite band, Flipside, after they are abducted by a mysterious figure during a concert. Players will explore diverse levels, from a castle to a deep-water rig, performing tricks and navigating obstacles to find the missing band members.
Story
Introduction
Flipside is performing at the Castle Coliseum to a capacity crowd. Wasa B. watches from backstage as his electric scooter pulls a cart of bottled water. Multicolored spotlights flash, highlighting each of Flipside's six band members.
Thousands of fans sing along, enjoying the show, with TV cameras covering every angle. Security guards prevent fans from climbing onto the stage near Roxie, Flipside's lead singer.
Pyrotechnics explode over the stage, filling the air with sparkle and smoke. Cheers, laughter, and music blend as fans sing along. As the smoke clears, the crowd waves their arms and dances, surging towards the stage.
The sky above the coliseum explodes with fireworks during the band's finale. As the final song ends, the stadium goes pitch black. A surge of energy then takes out all nearby electrical equipment.
Arrows of light burst from the sky, illuminating the coliseum. Each band member is struck by electrical energy and propelled upwards. The security guards are also consumed by a green ethereal glow, transforming into monstrosities.
The Aftermath
The stage is plunged into darkness again. The crowd initially believes it's part of the show and cheers for an encore. Minutes pass, and the stadium becomes silent.
A maniacal laugh breaks the silence over the loudspeakers, followed by a woman's shrill scream. Chaos erupts as the frightened crowd runs towards the exits.
The power quickly returns, blinding everyone for a second. They look around with empty, wondering eyes. Someone yells, "They've disappeared!"
Wasa B. is stunned but remembers the concert is always taped on a backup-powered deck. He rushes to the playback monitors, rewinds, and watches a chaotic montage of the concert.
He sees each band member being sucked into a transformer-like apparatus. On the "Control Room" monitor, he sees a dark figure laughing hysterically and running out the door. Wasa B. tracks the figure's progress on the screens as it moves around the castle.
Finally, he sees the shadowed figure tip over a small statue and disappear behind a secret door. Wasa B. shakes his head in disbelief, exclaiming, "I have to find them!!!" He grabs his scooter and drives off to search the Castle area for his idols.
Story Mode
This is the single-player experience of Whirl Tour. Select Story Mode from the Main Menu.
You will then be taken to the Play Level, Select Character, Select Scooter, and Trick Setup screens.

Push Left or Right on the Directional Buttons or the left analog stick to scroll through different costumes and scooter colors.

•
Press Left or Right on either the Directional Buttons or the left analog stick to select the different game modes.
Levels
Whirl Tour offers eight beautifully modeled levels to explore, each with its own unique theme and feel.
Castle
The castle resembles a gigantic house, not a stereotypical medieval stone structure. The mood is set by huge gothic statues and dramatic architecture. Aqueducts throughout the level create unique scooting opportunities.
Theme Park
The theme park is a cross between a surreal film landscape and a Japanese comic book. Neon lights outline strange props and various rides, including a giant waterslide, roller coaster, merry-go-round, and house of horrors.
Suburbia
Suburbia is very bright and upbeat, except for the old abandoned mansion, which is stormy and dark.
City in the Sky
This enormous hovering city is a side project of Dr. Skeezicks, showcasing his free time. Humongous whirling fans levitate the structure. Its inhabitants consider living here an unparalleled honor.
Subway
The subway level is in a very bad part of town. Most of the level above ground consists of dark alleys filled with puddles and surrounded by collapsing buildings. Underground is a vast network of old-time subway tunnels.
Deep-Water Rig
The deep-water rig resembles a huge underwater vessel on the inside, with heavily bolted walls and a glass ceiling. Gigantic underwater mountains and sea creatures can be seen from inside. The secret area is an underwater cave, accessed via a small tunnel from the main rig.
Movie Set
The movie set level consists of many sound stages, similar to airplane hangars, each with a unique Hollywood theme. The floor of each sound stage curves up into 2D scenery, providing constant quarter-pipes. It is one of the most diverse and interestingly populated levels. The secret area is an empty hangar.
Tibet
The Tibetan temple is the site of the final competition. Surrounded by giant Buddha statues and traditional eastern buildings, the structure inspires awe amidst beautiful natural surroundings. The Tibetan temple has the most extreme ramps and jumps in the game and is the retreat of Dr. Skeezicks.

•

Multiplayer
There are three modes to choose from:
•
Normal - This mode offers all of the objectives (see 'Objectives' section) necessary to progress through the game.
•
Race - You will be challenged by an enemy AI to see who can finish the track in the shortest time. If you defeat this opponent, prepare yourself for a great surprise.
•
Bonus - These levels give you a chance to show off your trick skills. What could they be?
So you think your six-digit combos are untouchable? Feel like you have created the perfect combination of moves and grinds? Maybe your best friend feels the same way. Or perhaps you and your comrade work well together. Maybe the two of you are an unstoppable pair of gaming ninjas. If so, this is where you want to meet.
There are three multiplayer gameplay modes:
•
Co-Op Story Mode - This feature works the same way Story Mode does, but now you don't have to venture alone. Simply create a profile for the two of you, and you're ready to rescue.
•
Versus - Outscore your challenger to remain the champion.
•
Monster Trick - Much like a game of HORSE, you have 10 seconds to score as many points as possible. Your opponent will receive a letter should he fail to beat your score within 10 seconds; however, if he is successful, you must beat his score. The first player to receive 5 'letters' loses the match.

Collect Everything

The less you adjust the balance meter, the longer it will take to become unstable. Wait as long as possible before making balance adjustments.
Holding Grab Moves
Holding grab moves will increase the trick score until the button is released.

Switching from clockwise to counterclockwise aerial rotations (and vice versa) will earn additional points within a combo.
