Getting Started
Make sure the power is turned off on your Super NES®. Plug in one Controller for a 1-player game or two Controllers for a 2-player game. Insert the Nickelodeon GUTS Game Pak and turn on the system.
Once the title screens appear, press the Start Button to begin.
Or, if you want to psyche yourself up, go to the GUTS title screen and check out what happens when you press the buttons.

Use the Control Pad to select either GUTS Show format or Single Event format and press the Start Button.

Elastic Sports Overview
Strap yourself into a harness hooked to a long elastic cord and get ready to jump farther and bounce higher than you thought possible. Make shots that you never dreamed of making and strive towards your personal best.
In each Elastic Sport, you'll compete against the clock or your opponent to make the most shots through the goal before time runs out and the buzzer sounds. In the Beginner level, the time limit is 2 1/2 minutes, on Advanced it's down to 2 minutes. Moira Quirk will be keeping score and watching the clock.
In a 1-player game, you can perfect your technique as the clock ticks away. In a 2-player game, opponents play at the same time, side by side.
Elastic Sports Basics
All Elastic Sports begin with you standing ready on the aerial bridge. Use the Control Pad to move left or right on the bridge and to control yourself while in the air. Press Down on the Control Pad and hold to prepare for a jump, then release. Pay attention to the Power Bar - it indicates the strength of your jump.
When you're near the goal, press the B Button for a regular shot or a button combination to execute a special move.
After your shot, press Down and hold to get back to your starting position. Time it carefully or you won't bounce back to the aerial bridge and you'll lose precious time climbing up to your ready position. Once you're on the bridge, a Spotter will toss you a new ball and you're off again!
Spirals
Can you throw a football through a hanging tire? Hit the B Button to rifle a power pass at the tire.
•
Between the Legs Throw: Hit the A Button and then the X Button.
•
Reverse Between the Legs Throw: Hit the Y Button and then the X Button.
Each shot is worth 1 point. Each time you execute a special move, your shot is worth 2-3 points. Every time you make a shot, the goal will flash. The number of flashes indicates the number of points scored.
