GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system according to the instructions supplied with your system. Check that the system is turned on (the ON/STANDBY indicator is green).
Insert the Jackass The Game disc in the system with the label side facing up. Attach game controllers and other peripherals as appropriate. Follow the on-screen instructions and refer to this manual for information on using the software.
Using Memory Cards
Use a separately purchased memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) to save your game data. For more on how to save your game, see page 4.
By choosing AUTOSAVE from the OPTIONS menu your game will be saved automatically at appropriate intervals. If AUTOSAVE is set to OFF you'll have to remember to save the game manually.
About Jackass The Game
Jackass The Game is based on the hit MTV™ television series Jackass™.
Filling in as director of Jackass™, your job is to collect the best footage from up to 36 stunts throughout Jackass The Game to create a new Jackass™ series for MTV™.
All stunts have a minimum requirement for content before MTV™ will approve an episode for broadcast. The new series requires seven episodes of Jackass quality footage. It's gotta be GOOD!
Title Screen
Once the title screen is displayed, press the BUTTON to go to the Main Menu screen.
If you want to continue a previously saved game, insert the memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) containing the save game data into the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system before starting the game. The saved game will auto-load.
Main Menu
Use the Main Menu to navigate through the various modes and options within Jackass The Game.
Menu Screen Controls
Use the LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN directional buttons to highlight the option you want and the BUTTON to select the highlighted option.
The L1 and R1 buttons are used to page up/down and the BUTTON is used to return to the previous screen.
Pause Menu
While playing, you can access the Pause Menu by pressing the START button.
TIP - Change characters at any time by going to the Pause Menu (press START).
MTV Story Mode
Episodes: Stunts are collected into groups called "Episodes". Episodes in Jackass The Game are similar to the format and structure of the Jackass™ TV series, collecting a series of stunts which may or may not be related by a general theme.
TIP - In each episode you're free to attempt stunts in any order.
Game progression & completing goals within a stunt attempt means collecting footage for an episode. Remember, the cameras are always rolling. You can check your current progress within any stunt by accessing the Goal Status screen from the in-game Pause Menu.
The more goals you complete the better the quality of the footage and the higher the advertising revenue generated by the shows. The minimum advertising budget required by MTV™ for an episode is $500,000.
TIP - Completing enough goals to achieve 4 or 5 star episode ratings will unlock additional bonus content.
Progress Through Success or Stupidity
The goals for the stunts in Jackass are designed to let you win big, and lose bigger. It's not just about achieving set goals; it's about making the attempts entertaining for the audience.
Even a failed attempt can get you the footage you need, and it's usually pretty funny.
You can progress through "Success" oriented goals as well as "Stupidity" oriented goals. A "Success" oriented goal is usually a skill-based goal, like winning a race, while a "Stupidity" oriented goal might be linked to achieving a wicked wipeout or "Bail Out."
Bail Out
Stunts that support Bail Out will be indicated in the onscreen HELP text at the bottom right of the screen. If you see "BAIL OUT", you can press the TRIANGLE BUTTON at any time during the stunt to perform a Bail Out.
During a Bail Out, the Jackass character enters ragdoll mode where the extreme ragdoll and injury technology depicts every collision with shocking realism and accurate impact detection for more than 10 different areas of the body. Ouch!
TIP - Bail Out into a hard object at high speed to inflict serious injuries on your favorite Jackass.
Replays
While attempting a stunt the action is recorded as a replay. At the end of the stunt you can choose to view the replay. During playback the action can be viewed at normal speed, accelerated, in slow-mo, or reverse.
TIP - If you choose to restart or change characters during a stunt attempt, the current replay will be lost.
Replay Controls

•
