FAST Alley:

______
|      |
| FAST |
|______|
|      |
| FAST |
|______|
|      |
| FAST |
|______|

FAST alleys are just like it says, fast. The entire lane will be fast, so your
ball will slide quickly down the lane. This is one of the most fun and quick
lanes and you should use this especially with Leroy for high scores.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SLOW Alley:

______
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|

SLOW alleys are also very straight-forward, they are very slow. These lanes are
not as fun to bowl on, but they may help get you higher scores if you need to
concentrate on accuracy. Mark, Linda, and Dana will do best here, Leroy is too
powerful for the SLOW alleys mostly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL Alley:

______
|      |
| SPEC |
|______|
|      |
| SPEC |
|______|
|      |
| SPEC |
|______|

SPECIAL alleys are completely interchangable. I put in "SPEC" to represent
Special. Basically, you can change in fast or slow for any of the spots, so you
could have many possibilities. For example:

______
|      |
| FAST |
|______|
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|
|      |
| FAST |
|______|

or

______
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|
|      |
| SLOW |
|______|
|      |
| FAST |
|______|

Those are a few possibilities, but you adjust them yourself at any time by
hitting A during gameplay. Try new things, as they can positively and
negatively affect your ball.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGE Alley:


CHANGE alleys are like SPECIAL, except you have no control over the changes.
When you are on CHANGE alleys, the lane will automatically change every frame.
This will be random, and for the most part won't help your game. This alley is
mostly for just goofing around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From what I have learned, the straight out best chance of a great game is using
Leroy on FAST alleys with a 16 pound ball. Due to the game's not-so-surprising
physics, you can often get away with a strike on anything near the pocket.
Simply charge up a max power shot (or as close to it as you can get), try to
avoid any hook, and aim right at the headpin. I have bowled a 298 using this
strategy, so it is a good one.

If you are not a fan of that strategy, there is always millions of
possibilities available with the other bowlers. Try experimenting with hooking,
different ball weights, different alleys, just always try something new. With
practice, you can make nearly any style work, so just pick one that you like
best and go with it, while experimenting with different ones on the side.

Which is the most life-like alley?

Probably FAST alley, it is fast-paced like real-life bowling.

---

Who's the most useful bowler and why?

Depends on your style but like I mentioned, I'd go with Leroy. Although it may
not be the most skillfully challenging, it exploits the game's bad physics to
get you better scores. If you are only interested in strategy however, go with
one of the other 3 bowlers.

---

What's the Sound Test for?

Just for experimentation and goofing around, I guess. You can play all the
sound effects and music in the game there.
