Get ready for the ride of your lifetime! With HEAVY SHREDDIN', you'll be
traveling down slick, snow covered mountains on a single snowboard that's not
much larger than a ski. To survive your runs, you'll have to master some hot
moves to get around the dangerous obstacles ready to trip you up. Complete all
five events (18 levels in total) and you'll be rewarded with the coveted WORLD
CUP trophy. It won't be easy. But you can bet it will be fun!

At the start of each game, you'll first see a trail map screen that shows you
the name of the trial you're on and the events within the current trial. There
are five events and a total of 18 levels of play. In order to move on the next
event, you must first successfully complete the run you're on. Reach the end of
any trial and you'll be presented with a special message. Reach the end of all
events and you'll win the WORLD CUP trophy! When you're ready, press START.
You have 4 lives at the start of each game. Every time you fall or fail to
qualify, you lose one life. Lose all four lives and the game ends. If you reach
the next trail, you'll earn a bonus life. If you fall and you have remaining
lives, you'll be sent back to the beginning of that event to try again. You
then hit Start again to begin your next trail.
You score points based on each screen you mange to pass. The point values are
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 per screen, depending on the skill level.
To make it to the end of a run, you'll have to practice and master the art of
turning, ducking, jumping and stunting.
Turning can be done in two ways: tucked or standing. In the standing position,
simply point the board where you want to go. In the tucked position, you'll
simply move up and down the screen. (use the tuck position to gain greater
speed.)
Ducking is an easy enough maneuver. Just press the B key to duck under
obstacles.
Jumping can be done by pressing the A key. There are five different jumps: a
regular jump and four stunt jumps. Stunting is where you'll really get your
kicks. Stunts are for survival as well as for hot-dogging. Practice them
enough. To stunt, you'll need to press any of the four direction keys
(UP/DOWN/RIGHT/ LEFT). The direction key is how you'll choose a particular
stunt.
There are five events in all: Downhill, Slalom, Half-pipe, Moguls and
Backwoods. The first four have three levels of difficulty. Backwoods has six.
On some events you'll be working against the clock. On others you'll merely
try to survive while racking up as many points as possible:
1. Downhill:
The object here is to get down the slope as fast as possible. Guide your board
by pressing either the UP or DOWN key. Jump (press A key) over any obstacles
you can't pass. if you fall, you'll be sent back to the top of the trail for
another try. This events has three levels of difficulty.
2. Slalom:
Guide the board between the gates by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. If you fall
or miss going through a gate, you'll be sent back to the top of the trail for
another try. This events has three levels of difficulty.
3. Half-pipe:
This event requires stunts. But first you'll need enough momentum to get high
enough on the wall to do a stunt. To do this, press and hold UP when the board
is moving up the far wall and DOWN when it's moving up the near wall. once
you've gained enough height, you'll be given an on-screen command to perform a
stunt. This events has three levels of difficulty.
4. Moguls:
Guide the board by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. The small moguls (bumps in
the snow) can be handled by simply jumping over them (A button). To get past
large mogul fields, you must use either a mule-kick or a toe grab stunt. To do
a mule-kick, aim your board at the mogul and wait long enough for the shredder
to bend up. Then press the A button and Left direction and you'll mule kick
over the mogul field. This event has three levels of difficulty.
5. Backwoods:
Not for the faint-hearted, this event has a total of 23 difficult obstacles to
deal with. Each requires a different response in order for you to survive.
