Trial Mode:

Here you can choose which event to play. After you finish once you may replay
it, return to the Event Select or return to the Mode Select.

Championship Mode:

In the Championship you compete in all ten events which keeps a record of your
overall score. It works like an Olympic Decathlon but made up for the Winter
Olympics.

medals will be given out.

                       Ski Jumping K=90                             G0310
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are several parts to this game. First look at the wind meter in the top
left corner. When the arrow points to the exact left, press and hold the L and
R buttons. If you did it well you get the usual "Good". Now watch the jumper go
down the slope until the end. The first dot on the white line at the bottom is
where you jump off. Before you do, a jump gauge will come up. When the white
bar reaches the very end of the bar, let go of the L and R buttons. If you do
it too lately, the jumper sort of just plummets down within a few meters. So if
you are not good at timing the release just let go earlier rather than too
late.

As you are in the air, tap the up and down buttons to keep the angle at 0 at
all times. Slight taps will keep the jumper straight and fly really far.

At the end of a jump you get a score. First score is for your distances.
Some examples:

115.0m   110.0pts
113.0m   106.0pts
111.3m   102.6pts

You also get judges points for your jump. These depend on your wind selection,
the jump gauge as well as flying angle. If you did it well (i.e. "Good" on
both) then you get up to 60 points added to the total score.

You also get two attempts for a final score. Two good jumps should give you
well over 300 points to score a gold medal and even beat the World Record.
