1. Game Workflow
1.1 Main Menu
The first thing the player is able to see when it enters the game is a screen which has the NEO GEO logo and the maximum megabits which a ROM could have "MAX 330 MEGA PRO-GEAR SPEC". For this screen it isn’t necessary to press any button to pass it because it’s like a video but you can skip the animation if you want. The following screen shows the logo of the company DATA EAST.
Then it appears the main menu screen in which we find the title of the game, the date when the game was launched and the company who made it (Data East), the amount of credits you have, only if you have inserted at least one coin, and the level of difficulty you will play with. On the middle of the screen a message will pop up asking p1 to press start, if the player doesn't do it a video of a match and of the bonus stages will start until the key is pressed, which is a good idea to show people what is the game about.
1.2 In-Game Screens
Once the p1 has pressed the start button the game loads a screen with a tutorial in which it’s been shown the controls for the game, if you already know how to play you can skip it by pressing a button.
Right after the tutorial it appears the game mode screen in which you can decide if you want to play ‘VS COMPUTER’ or ‘1P VS 2P‘. If you will play against the machine you can also decide the difficulty level you would like to play with. In this screen there is a message flickering which tells you 'PUSH A BUTTON START’.
Before the game starts there is the character screen in which you must choose one of the 6 characters and then the map screen in which the machine chooses one randomly. After these two appears a screen in which it shows to the players, the characters each of them have picked.
Just at the beginning of each match or at the end of a set the game shows you the number of rounds and sets, the points you get in the different goals and the limit time and points to finish the round.
In case you end in a draw, with one set each, there will be a third set and it will appear the same screen as if you finished a round but adding a poster on top of the "SET" with the word "FINAL" on it. This poster also appears if you arrive to the sixth round/mactch but now it will cross the "ROUND" box.
When you win two games in a row there will appear a bonus stage which will give you extra points at the end of it.
1.3 Game Over
If you lose a game it will a appear a counter of 9 seconds with the message "CONTINUE", when the counter arrives at zero it will be shown the "GAME OVER" message and you will return to the main menu.
