4.	Basics
==============================================

Here are the characters in the game you can play as. The
character you select has no impact on how your bumper car
controls:

The King
Subservient Chicken
Brooke Burke
Whopper Jr.
Winston
Christina
Brett
Jolly
Joey
Biker
Tiffany
Alvaro

Here are the colors of the bumper cars you can use. The
bumper cars you can select are exactly the same. The only
difference between them is color:

Blue
Light Purple
Orange
Sky Blue
Yellow
Green
Red
Dark Green

In addition to those bumper cars, there are two bumper cars
that must be unlocked:

Pink
Purple

There are five arenas in Big Bumpin'. Here are all of the 
arenas and the two games they host:

The Broiler- Shockball, Last Man Standing
Monsoon of Doom- Own the Puck, Power Surge
The Deep- Shockball, Power Surge
King's Court- Own the Puck, Bumpin' Hockey
Ice Box- Last Man Standing, Bumpin' Hockey

You can only accelerate briefly. In a few seconds, you can
accelerate again.

Your bumper car has a ten-dot energy bar in Last Man Standing.
Getting hit by other bumper cars or hazards such as saws drains 
the bar. Once the bar is depleted or energy, your bumper car is
eliminated from the match and cannot move. The energy bar also  
appears in Shockball, but the only two ways to lose energy in
that game mode is having the shockball when it explodes or being 
near the shockball when it explodes.

In Big Bumpin', there are a few hazards which are:

Holes- Fall into these and your game is over.
Buttons- Hit these to briefly open up holes.
Ice Patches- These make your bumper car skid out of control.
Saws- Touch these and you'll take damage.
Bumpers- If a bumper car or puck (regardless of the Heavy Puck
power-up) touches a bumper, it will be bumped away (the puck
will be sent away with great speed).

Here is a list of what arenas have what hazards:

The Broiler- Holes (Last Man Standing only. The holes in this 
stage open randomly)
Monsoon of Doom- None
The Deep- None
King's Court- Bumpers
Ice Box- Holes, Buttons, Ice Patches, Saws (All hazard appear
only in Last Man Standing)

5.	Power-ups
==============================================

Here are all of the power-ups in the game. I will list their
uses, their appearance, what game modes they appear in, and
their pros and cons. Please note that with the exception of
Repair, all power-ups only last for a few seconds. You can
also only have one power-up at a time. If you collect a
second power-up after the first one, the second power-up will
replace the first. Any power-up the puck comes into contact
with is destroyed. Uncollected power-ups are destroyed after
a while.

==============================================

Here are all of the game modes in the game.

----------------------------------------------
6.1	Last Man Standing
----------------------------------------------

Arenas it can be played in: The Broiler, Ice Box

How to play: Eliminate your opponents by bumping them out of the 
arena (into a hole or the "moat" outside of the arena in The 
Broiler) or bump them so much they lose all of their energy and
are eliminated.

----------------------------------------------
6.2	Own the Puck
----------------------------------------------

Arenas it can be played in: Monsoon of Doom, King's Court

How to play: Come into contact with the puck to "Own" it. While

How to play: You are assigned a team (Red or Blue). You and your
teammate have to get the puck into the other team's goal. Whichever 
team has more goals at the end of three minutes wins. If the 
amount of goals at the end of a game is tied, you go into sudden
death where the first goal wins.

----------------------------------------------
6.4	Shockball
----------------------------------------------

Arenas it can be played in: The Broiler, The Deep

How to play: Think Hot Potato. A player has the shockball (you can
tell who because they have a bar over their head). When the timer
on the screen or above their head runs out, the shockball explodes.
The explosion takes away half of the energy from the person who was
holding it when it explodes. The explosion also damages all who are
nearby. The surviving player at the end of the game wins.

----------------------------------------------
6.5	Power Surge
----------------------------------------------

Arenas it can be played in: Monsoon of Doom, The Deep

How to play: There are four lights in the arena. When one of them
lights up, go over it to collect 100 points of electricity. Now
you must go to the circular-shaped conductor and make contact with
it to deposit the electricity and keep your points. If you're
bumped by opponents or hit a wall, you will lose some electricity.
After you lose all of your electricity or deposit you electricity in
the conductor, another light will light up. First to 300 points
wins.
