Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*ClayFighter* is a fighting game set in an abandoned amusement park that has been transformed into "Clayland" by a mysterious purple clay meteor. Players choose from a roster of unique, meteor-mutated clay warriors, such as Blue Suede Goo and Ickybod Clay, each possessing distinct special powers. To claim the title of King of the Circus, players must master their chosen character's unique abilities and defeat all other contenders in combat.
Story
The Story of Clayland
An abandoned amusement park sits peacefully in the noonday sun. Playland was once the most popular vacation spot in all of Muddville; these days it is only home to dust and cobwebs. This, however, is about to change.
From a bajillion miles away comes a mysterious purple clay meteor. It approaches seemingly with purpose, rocketing towards the center of the park. With deafening impact the meteor explodes, spreading clay devastation throughout the park. Playland has become Clayland.
Hours later, as the smoke begins to clear and the years of dust resettle, something stirs. From the twisted ruins of Playland a mighty warrior emerges, and then another and another.
Each warrior is the product of the strange meteor and circus rubble. Each has only one thought in their soft clay brains: become King of the Circus.
The Quest for the Crown
The road to become King of the Circus will not be an easy one. The Clay Fighter who wants this title will have to be stronger, smarter, and trickier than all the others.
Each Clay Fighter was given special powers and abilities by the meteor, some of which even they don't know about. You'll need to explore these unknown abilities if you wish to claim the title King of the Circus.
The Contenders

Blue Suede Goo (with his hair blade)
•
Ickybod Clay (with his Ecto Ball)

How to Play
Special Moves
In addition to all the basic attacks and throws, each character has learned a variety of special moves. These moves are different for each character. They will give your clay fighter a much needed edge when your opponent's clay is down.
You can also surprise another clay fighter with a move that they might not be expecting. These moves can be relatively difficult and it may take you a while to master the timing required for the button and control pad movements.
An example of these special moves is Bad Mr. Frosty's Aerial Snowball. To do this, charge down for 2 seconds, then press up with a kick. Timing is very important in any of the special moves, so it might take you a while to perfect this and other attacks.
Super KOs
Knockout punches are also a very real part of life in the clay fighter arena. If you are able to hit your opponent with a number of successive hits while not getting hit yourself, then the letters KO will flash on the screen.
As soon as the KO appears, you can knock the clay out of your opponents with a Super KO Attack. To do this, attack the opposing clay fighter by using any special move that is not a projectile.
Watch out though! If your opponent is not stunned when the KO flashes, you will lose your ability to administer this attack if he hits you.
Your time in the Big Top
To begin a single player game, choose Start Game from the Game Choice screen by moving the control pad up or down, and pressing the START button. Then move the control pad right or left to choose a clay fighter.
The clay fighter surrounded by the red box is the one which you are considering. Below the portrait of your clay fighter is a small description of that character. You might pick a certain clay fighter because of their likes and dislikes, or simply because of their motto.
To change your fighter's color, press X, Y, B, or A. After picking the clay fighter you wish to use, press the START button. Your clay fighter will walk into the Big Top, ready for their first battle.
Once a battle begins, you will need to use all of your skills to defeat your opponent. Each time you hit the other clay fighter with any of your punches, kicks, holds, throws, or special moves, their life energy will decrease. This goes both ways, and you will lose a portion of your energy every time you are hit as well.
When a clay fighter's energy has dropped to zero, the round is over. The winner is determined by the clay fighter who is still standing. The other clay fighter may have used more style in the fight, but he or she is still the one laying on the ground in a pool of their own clay.
To return a clay fighter to his or her humble beginnings, you must win two out of three rounds. If you are able to do this, you will then move on to the next clay fighter. If you cannot, then you will have to battle this particular clay fighter again.
Don't give up if a certain opponent keeps on beating you, your timing and expertise will increase with practice. You will eventually give your opponent a taste of their own clay.
Each round is timed by the bomb and its fuse at the bottom of the screen. When the fuse runs out the round is over. The clay fighter with the most energy remaining will be chosen as the victor of that round.
While one person is playing against the computer, another player can join by pressing the START button at any time during the game. When one player beats another, the single-player game will resume. If the second player wishes to fight again, then they simply press START to join the fight.
Versus Mode
Versus Mode offers two players the chance to fight each other without the game returning to the single-player game. Choosing this option from the Title menu brings up a different player choice menu.
The menu also shows the Win, Loss, Draws, and Special Knock Out statistics for each player. A handicap value of one will not give a clay fighter any advantage in a battle. As the handicap value increases, a clay fighter will inflict higher and higher amounts of damage.
Changing the handicap for a player will make the battle more even. If one player is more experienced at Clay Fighter than the other, give them a lower handicap. You can change the value by pressing the L and R buttons.
Once each player has chosen the clay fighter they want to use, you then press the START button to make the Stage Selection screen appear. The stage background you wish to fight in front of can now be chosen from this screen.
After you have chosen the stage, press the START button. A pre-fight screen will appear. You can change your fighter's color by pressing X, Y, B, or A.
To start the match, press your fighter's color button again or the START button. The first clay fighter to win 2 rounds will be declared the winner. You and your opponent can then pick two more clay fighters to fight.
Tournament Setup
Tournament lets one, four or eight players fight in one of three types of tournaments. To change the tournament type move the control pad up or down.
To change the number of players highlight the PLAYERS option then move the control pad left and right. To start the tournament make sure a tournament type is highlighted and press START.

Tips & Maps
1
When all else fails remember to block. If you are not sure how to get away this is the best way to make sure that you come back with an attack later.
2
If your clay fighter is dizzy, press right and left on the control pad repeatedly to revive him.
3
Experiment with different control pad and button combination. You never know when you might find a new move!
4
You can often block special moves even though you may take a small amount of damage.
5
Blocking may not always protect you from certain attacks.
6
Watch your opponent. Attack them with a quick move if they are wind-ing up for a brutal attack.
7
You can often use long range attacks to keep your opponent out of close combat range where they could damage you the most.
