MOUNTAIN MADNESS -SUPER PRO SKIING title screen appears. Press any KEY or the
DISC

SELECT NUMBER OF SKIERS

Up to six skiers can compete for best downhill time. Press 1 to 6, then press
ENTER. Each skier is assigned a different color; each skier's time is shown in
his or her color.

SELECT GATE WIDTH

The downhill course is defined by pairs of flags, or "gates," that you ski
through. Select wide gates by pressing 1 (Downhill). Select more challenging
narrow gates by pressing 2 (Slalom.) Select no gates, allowing you to choose
your own path down the mountain, by pressing 3 (No Flags). After pressing 1, 2,
or 3, press ENTER.

SELECT COURSE

Select from 32 built-in courses, each with its own obstacles and challenges, or
choose a new course, designed either by you or by the computer. Press 1 to 32 to
select one of the built-in courses (see below on previewing courses), press 33
to have the computer design a new course ("helicopter skiing"), or press 34 to
design a new course yourself. After you make your selection, press ENTER.

PREVIEW BUILT-IN COURSES

You may preview any of the 32 built-in courses before selecting one. Press 1 to
32, as described above, but before pressing ENTER, press the DISC. A map
appears, with the main characteristic of each course segment color-coded:

Green: Clear skiing
Dark Blue: Icy patches
Gray: Moguls (bumps)
Light Blue: Powder (unpacked snow)

Warning: Only the MAIN characteristic is color coded; for example, a green
segment may include a mogul, or a gray segment may include an icy patch. Also,
patches of ground do not appear on the preview!

Press the TOP and BOTTOM of the DISC to see the entire course Press any KEY to
return to the SELECT COURSE SCREEN. Press ENTER to ski the course; press CLEAR
to preview or select another.

HELICOPTER SKIING

Pressing 33 followed by ENTER causes a new course to be created at random by the
computer. This simulates "helicopter skiing" -- the thrill of a helicopter
dropping your ski party at the top of an uncharted mountain. (For the complete
sensation of uncharted territory, Helicopter Skiing should be selected after the
No Flags option, although you can still select Helicopter Skiing with Downhill
or Slalom gates.) The course is different every time you select this option.

CREATE YOUR OWN COURSE

Pressing 34 followed by ENTER displays the COURSE EDITOR SCREEN. String together
from 3 to 15 course segments to build a new course. Press the TOP or BOTTOM of
the DISC to display the 28 available segments, one at a time. Press ENTER to add
the displayed segment to the course; press CLEAR to erase the last-added
segment. Press 0 (ZERO) when done.

Note: The segments are color-coded by main characteristic as in PREVIEW BUILT-IN
COURSE, above. Each segment may contain other obstacles that will only show up
when you actually ski the course.

SELECT SLOPE

Enter the slope, from 1 to 15, for each skier in your party. The higher the
slope, the faster you accelerate down the course. Start with lower numbers until
you have mastered running and jumping. Press ENTER after selecting the slope for
each skier.

PREVIEW COURSE

A map of the course now appears, color-coded as described in PREVIEW BUILT-IN
COURSE, above. Press the BOTTOM and TOP of the DISC to view the entire course.
When you are familiar with the course, press any KEY and let ready to hit the
slopes!

THE RACE IS ON

The first skier is in the starting late. Press the DISC to start the clock and
the skier starts down the mountain!

YOUR CONTROLS

Each skier can use either hand controller. If more than two people are skiing,
take turns with the controllers.

DISC : Press LEFT and RIGHT side of DISC for "snowplow" turn (slows you down).

TOP SIDE KEYS: Hold down while pressing DISC for "parallel" POWER TURN (does not
slow you down).

BOTTOM SIDE KEYS: Jump over obstacles.

Note: Hit certain obstacles or try to ski backwards and you'll fall! You'll get
back up automatically, but you'll have wasted precious time!

GATES

The left flag changes color for each gate you ski through. A 2-second penalty is
added to your time for each gate you miss. It's okay to knock over a flag as you
go through the gate, but it will slow you down. It's also okay to pass through a
gate from below; if you pass a gate to the side, turn, ski uphill into the gate
then turn and ski back down.

TERRAIN & OBSTACLES

Learn to recognize the various obstacles. You can jump over some; some you have
to ski around:

Trees--Knock you down when hit.
Flags--Slow you down when hit.
Icy Patches (dark blue lines)--You can't turn on ice.
Powder (light blue dots)--Slows you down.
Moguls (gray bumps)--Knock you down.
Patches of Ground (brown spots)--Knock you down.

BEST TIME WINS

Each skier has 3 chances for the fastest time. Skiers race in order through Heat
1, 2, then 3. The clock records the time, adding the 2- second penalty for each
missed gate.

The time for each run appears at the finish line. The best time so far appears
at the starting gate. After the third heat, the best time for each skier is
shown. The skier with the lowest time wins. All times are shown in the color of
the skier.
