Game Guide

This is a Super Nintendo sports game that simulates fast-paced, five-on-five professional basketball action on a rotating court. Players control their team to dribble, pass, and execute slam dunks while utilizing advanced moves like shot fakes and jump-shot holds. The experience is enhanced by pro tips from Magic Johnson, play-by-play commentary from Chick Hearn, and a responsive crowd that reacts to the on-court action.

•
Rebound: Wait for the ball under the hoop whenever a shot is taken, then go for the Fast Break.
•
Defensive Fouls: A foul at a critical moment can turn the momentum of a game in your team's direction.
Time Outs
