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 all events and you'll win the WORLD CUP trophy!When you're ready, press START.You have four 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 tryagain. 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. Try to increase your score each time you play.4--------------------------------------------------------How to Master the SlopesTo 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. (Note: if you're daring enough, 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. Practicing them enough and the WORLD CUP trophy could be yours.To stunt, you'll need to press any of the four direction keys (UP/DOWNRIGHT/LEFT). The direction key is how you'll choose a particular stunt.5------------------------------------------------------------How to do the stunts:Toe Grab Stunt (a longer jump): Press A key and UP direction key.Hand-Plant Stunt (a hot-dogging move and a requirement in the Half-pipe event): Press A key and DOWN direction key.Mid-Air 360 Stunt (this one is just for hot-doggers having a great run): Press A key and RIGHT direction key.Mule-Kick Stunt (especially useful in recovering your balance while bouncing through treacherous moguls.): Press A key and LEFT direction key6-------------------------------------------------------------THE EVENTSThere are five events in all: Downhill, Slalom, Half-pipe, Monguls and Backwoods. The first four have three levels of difficultly. 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 difficultly.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 difficultly.7---------------------------------------------------------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 upthe near wall. once you've gained enough height, you'll be given an on-screen command to perform a stunt (see How to Master the Slopes for stunt information). This events has three levels of difficultly.    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 (press A key). To get past large mogul fields, you must use either a mule-kick or 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 key and Left key and you'll mule kick over the mogul field. This event has three levels of difficultly.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 for you to survive:8-----------------------------------------------------------Trees..........avoid by turningSnowgun Hose...jump over them     Ice............avoid by turning or jumpingRocks..........avoid by turning or jumpingGates..........avoid or pass through by turningLogs...........jump or hit and mule-kick or avoid by turningMetal Fences...avoid by turningRope Fence.....avoid by duckingStreams........jump over themRivers.........cross the bridgeIce Pond.......stay in tuck or jump over themTruck..........hit ski jump in tuck positionCliffs.........jump off edge and adjust board angle by holding the UP keyCrevasse.......jump small ones and toe grab over large onesHay Bail.......jump or hit and mule-kickMogul..........jump or hit and mule-kickMogul Field....hit and Mule kickChalet Roof....stay in tuck and adjust board angle by holding the DOWN keySmall Trail....turn in standing positionWaterfall......jump onto small island in riverEmbankment.....hit and accelerate around treesTunnel.........duck to travel through itBillboard......duck to go under it9---------------------------------------------------------------
