Extracted from the original game manual

To prove their athletic prowess, players guide their character through eight competitive events, a bonus event, and a secret special challenge.

Story

Danger Takes a Break

Perilous missions, wicked villains and gorgeous mermaids make up the every-day life of an Underwater Agent. But even a top FI5H operative needs a break from the undersea grottos of international intrigue.

FI5H agents aren't wet fishes when it comes to leisure time. They'd rather hook into some furious, fun action than lie in the sun with a bunch of beached whales. That's why they started the Super Aquatic Games: 8 Competitive Events, a Bonus Event and a Secret Special Event that really separates the men from the minnows.

So start pumping those gills and aim for the Fin-ish Line and as our leader himself says; "It's a halibut good time!"

Let The Games Begin

•

1. Wipe away any seaweed, ocean debris and dead marine animals from your console. Make sure that your console is switched off.

•

2. Carefully blow any sand off your JAMES POND'S CRAZY SPORTS cartridge and insert it into the Super NES.

•

3. Switch your console on. The game will now be loaded.

•

4. Ensure that the Super NES Standard Controller is plugged into Port 1.

•

5. Remove any scuba gear that may impair your vision and prepare to play.

Well? What are you waiting for? Get out there, perform like Scaly Thompson and do FI5H proud!

Pressing the X button whilst on the Main Option Screen will allow you to change the KEYBOARD, SOUND and DIFFICULTY settings.

•

Difficulty: May be set to either NORMAL, or TADPOLE for younger players.

•

Sound Mode: May be set either to MUSIC WITH SOUND FX or SOUND FX ONLY.

Each event within Aquatics uses one of two control methods. The first method is used for the running style games, whilst the second is used where left and right motion is needed. Each control option has two buttons assigned to it. The player may use one or both of these buttons to perform the action.

Pausing the Game

If you're playing an event and you're feeling like a fish out of water, you can pause the game by pressing START. To resume the game, press START again. Alternatively, press SELECT to quit the game.

Scoring in Competitions

In Single Player competitions, you're aiming to win medals - gold if you're a god, silver if you're pretty good, or bronze if you're not as good as the other winners. If you fail to qualify for an event, you're out of the Aquatic Games and you'll have to start over.

In each event you can also earn bonus points. If you earn enough bonus points, you can participate in bonus events. If you win a bonus event, you get a "shield of merit". You can win up to six shields. The highest possible score for a Single Player competition is eight gold medals and six shields.

Multi-Player Games

In multi-player competitions you're out for points. Grab as many as you can in order to shut down the competition. You can have up to four players competing in the Aquatic Games. When you select a multi-player game, you'll play one of the following teams of aquabats:

•

The Swamp Bay Splashers: Trainer Steve Clam

•

The Hilly Island Hoppers: Trainer Mickey O'Shell

•

Flappy's Flyers: Trainer Flappy MacBeak

•

The Deep Sea Dippers: Trainer Billy the Squid

The events are played in order. Each player takes a stab at each event; all players must play the event before moving on to the next one.

After each event, the Results Screen shows the placings for each team in order, left to right. Press START to display the Leaderboard complete with team scores. From the Leaderboard, press START to display the Current Standings screen and then START again to move on to the next event.

Tap the RUN buttons on your controller to gain speed. Do it fast or you'll be eating amphibian dust. To leap, press the JUMP button.

Kipper Watching

Ceceelia the Seal has a problem. Her friends are peacefully having a kip in the sun, but a bunch of tourists are throwing beach balls at them! Ceceelia's a considerate seal, so she's going to do her best to protect her friends from the pesky louts.

Run and jump at any angle to deflect the incoming balls. If one ball hits a seal, it wakes him up. If a second ball hits the seal, he'll leave. If two seals leave, the siesta is over and so is the event. Beware the exploding beach balls, as they are much heavier than the other balls and will wake up and scare any seal they hit.

To move from left to right, simply move LEFT or RIGHT on your controller. To jump, press the JUMP button. For that extra bit of power hold the ACTION button as you move. To gain extra points, try pushing DOWN on the controller to gain a snooze bonus.
