OBJECT OF THE GAME/GAME DESCRIPTION

position to take the lead. Increase your car's performance by collecting
"battery," "motor," and "sticky tire" items found on the race courses.
Completion of the race within the "Bonus Time" will add a bonus to your score.
Look for missiles, bombs, and bonus letters while avoiding water puddles, oil
slicks and other hazards. 24 exciting R.C. tracks and a variety of car types
await your challenge.

TRACK ITEMS-OBSTACLES
*TRACK ITEMS TO AVOID
Puddles
Driving through standing water puddles slows you down.
Oil Slicks
Driving through an oil slick will cause you to skid helplessly out of control.
Cones
You cannot drive through this obstacle, so steer clear of it.
Sand
Avoid driving through the sand to get the best time.
Your Opponents
The R.C. Drone cars can be fierce competition. When playing against a human
opponent you'll find them to be quite ruthless.
[10]
DRIVING TIPS
1) If you find the R.C. type control difficult at first, practice, practice,
practice. R.C. driving demands the split-second instinctual controller inputs
that come only with practice.
2) Save your missiles or bombs until you need them most. They are saved from
one race to the next.
3) Pick up the Roll Cages as soon as possible. If you don't the other R.C.
cars will.
4) You cannot fire another missile until the previous shot explodes. In a
tight race missing your target can make the difference.

PLAYING AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE-USING THE GAME LINK(TM)
Using the Game Link cable, two players can race head to head with two computer
opponents.
{picture of 2 linked Game Boy's at right}

Game Paks and turn the POWER switches to "ON" at the same time.
(2) After making sure that the demonstration has begun on both GAME BOY units,
one player should press the Start Button.
NOTE: If the Game Link cable is not securely connected, or it is pulled out
and re-connected during play, the game will not function correctly. If this
happens, turn both units OFF and start again from step one.
[12]

{Picture of 4 connected Game Boys at right}

3 or 4 GAME BOY sytems
3 or 4 Game Paks
3 Game Link cables
1 Four player adapter

2) Players 2,3, and 4 use the Game Link cables.

other GAME BOY units to the Four Player Adaptor.
(2) Correctly insert the Game Paks into all of the GAME BOY units. Starting
with the first GAME BOY unit, turn all of the POWER switched to "ON".
(3) After making sure that the demonstration has begun on all units, player
one should press "START", followed by players two, three and four. After all
players have done so and the "READY TO RACE" screen is showing on units two
