From the Main Options Screen, to the Player Selection Screen, comes the Challenge Mode. Use Left or Right to move between Home and Visitors. Press Up or Down to scroll through the team selection choices. The Start Button selects the teams and brings you to the Clement Challenge Screen.
There are two forms of challenges: The Fastest Man and the Shootout. These are offered to hone your playing skills and to allow you to get a better feel for the gaming dynamics.
•
Fastest Man: A race around the ice to see who can get the fastest time. Pound on Buttons A and B, and use the Control Pad to move around the ice. Up to four people can play. You may choose two teams to play, and each controlling player gets to play one person.
•
Shootout: A test of your shooting ability. Press the Shoot Button and shoot as quickly and as accurately as you can! Five players from each team compete to see who can get the highest scoring percentage.
Exhibition Mode
This mode allows the players to choose any two teams to play against each other for one game. This is the most common option chosen.
Season Mode
Upon selecting Season Mode on the Options Screen, players get to choose which team they want to play for an entire season! You may choose to play a new season (which erases the battery back-up), or resume if you already have a season in progress.
When the Season Calendar comes up, you may use the Control Pad to move the months around. Press Button B once you have selected the month you want. This brings up a yellow highlight cursor which you use to pick the game day you want.
You can choose any point in the season you want (only moving in a forward direction), and you will go to that game. The computer will simulate how your team did in the games in-between the game you last played and this one. This means that you can potentially play one game out of every month and the computer will play the others for you!
When the Bill Clement Screen comes back up, Season Mode gives you the additional menu option of "Standings." This screen shows you the current NHL standings in both the Eastern and Western conferences. Upon completion of any Season, if you have ranked high enough, you will move on to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Playoff Mode
You can begin this game already at the playoffs for the Stanley Cup. This mode allows you to select from either the Best of 1 or the Best of 7. Choose your team and the stats for the playoffs will appear. Take your team through this gauntlet of challengers and come out as world champions!
