HOW TO USE YOUR CONTROLLER
If 1 player plays alone or against the computer, only Controller #1 is used
and the player will buzz in by pressing Button A or Button B.
If 2 human players are competing, either alone or against the computer,
Player #1 uses Controller #1 and Player #2 uses Controller #2. The players
buzz in by pressing either Button A or Button B on their respective
Controllers. (Please note that Button A and Button B are interchangeable
when buzzing in).
If 3 human players are competing, Player #1 and Player #2 will need to share
Controller #1 and Player #3 will use Controller #2. Player #1 can buzz in by
pressing down on the Control Pad and Player #2 can buzz in by pressing either
Button A or Button B. Player #3 can buzz in by pressing down on the Control
Pad on Controller #2
NOTE: The game can only be set up by entering the answers to the questions
as they appear on the screen using Controller #1.
CONTROL PAD
In all rounds, pressing the Control Pad LEFT and RIGHT or UP and DOWN will
move the cursor. Use the Control Pad to move the cursor over the desired
letter or numbers comprising your response or around the board to choose a
category and a dollar amount. The Control Pad is also used to change the
value of a wager in the Daily Doubles.
When spelling out your response, you can speed up the rate at which the
cursor moves by simultaneously pressing the Control Pad in the desired
direction along with Button X.

* Once all players have entered their names and characters the game will
start. If you are playing against a computer player(s), their characters
will appear on the screen prior to revealing the board for the first Jeopardy!
round.
HOW TO PLAY JEOPARDY!
* The Jeopardy! board appears on the screen. The dollar values are placed
on the board and then the Jeopardy! categories are revealed. Player #1 goes
first; choose a category and a dollar value. To do this, move the cursor
around the board by moving the Control Pad UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT. Lock in
your selection by pressing either Button A or Button B.
PLEASE NOTE: Categories are often abbreviated at the top of the column
because of space limitations, but the same category is also spelled out at the
bottom of the screen.
* At this point, the categories may be changed by pressing the SELECT button.
This must be done while the message is on the screen.
(picture of the Jeopardy! board)
* All players now get ready to respond. The answer will appear on the
screen. You must wait until the STOP SIGN disappears and the timer starts to
buzz in. Once the
PAGE 8
------
DELUXE JEOPARDY! DELUXE
timer has begun to count down, you may buzz in using your Controller as
explained on page 4, How to Use Your Controller.
(picture of the 'press select' question)
* The player who has buzzed in first will have total control of the board.
The "answer" reappears on the screen along with the first part of the
"question" (WHO IS... or WHAT IS... or WHAT ARE, etc.). On the bottom of the
screen you will find an alphabet/number board in which the "question" is to
be completed. To input your answer, move the highlighter over the letter(s)
or number(s) you wish to select. To so this, move the Control Pad UP, DOWN,
LEFT or RIGHT. Once you have completed your selection, lock it in by pressing
Button A. To delete a selection, press Button B.
(picture of an "answer")
* When you have completed your entry, press START to see if your response
was correct. If you have responded correctly, the computer will display a
message and add the appropriate amount to your earnings. If you have responded
incorrectly, then the amount will be deducted from your earnings.
* If the response is incorrect, the "answer" then reappears on the screen,
and the remaining players get the chance to jump in again to try to supply the
"question." (The player who answered incorrectly cannot try again.)
(picture of the "entering the 'question'" screen)

(picture of the 'correct question' screen)
* If no player buzzes in and the timer runs out, then the correct "question"
will appear on the screen. At this point, the same player will have control
of the board.
* The player who has given the last correct response will have control of
the board.
* Play will continue until the board has been cleared.
THE DAILY DOUBLE
* During play, a hidden Daily Double appears in one of the 30 windows on the
board. (The placement of the Daily Double is random.) If you are the player
who has uncovered the Daily Double, you automatically shut out the other
players and get to try the "question" alone.
* If you already have accumulated earnings, then you may wager as follows:
a) Minimum wager is $5. b) If your accumulated earnings are less than the
highest dollar value on the board, you may bet up to the highest dollar value
on the board. c) If your accumulated earnings are greater that the highest
dollar value on the board, then you may bet all or part of your winnings.
(picture of the Daily Double screen)
* If you do not have any accumulated earnings, or if you have a negative
dollar amount, then you may place a wager up to the highest dollar value on
the board.
* The player's total earnings will appear in the wager box on the top of the
screen. The player may change this wager by
PAGE 10
-------
DELUXE JEOPARDY! DELUXE
moving the cursor LEFT and RIGHT with the Control Pad and placing it over the
number that they would like to change. The number is increased or decreased
by moving the Control Pad UP and DOWN until the desired number appears. The
player continues in this fashion until the desired wager is displayed on the
board. Press START to lock in the wager. At this point, the "answer" will
appear and the timer will begin counting down, and the player must input his
or her "question."
(picture of the wager entry Daily Double screen)
* If your response is correct, the value of your wager is added to your
score; if incorrect, it is deducted.
* Only the player who has picked the Daily Double will be given the chance
to answer. If the player answers correctly, then play continues and the player
makes another selection from the board.
(picture of the "question entering" Daily Double screen)
* In the Jeopardy! round there is one Daily Double. In the Double Jeopardy!
round there are two.
HOW TO PLAY DOUBLE JEOPARDY!

accumulated earnings will start the Double Jeopardy! round.
* Double Jeopardy! is played in the same manner as the Jeopardy! round except
that the categories will change and the dollar values on the board will double
($200-$1,000).
HOW TO PLAY FINAL JEOPARDY!
(picture of the category of Final Jeopardy! screen)
PLEASE NOTE: Only players showing a positive dollar amount accumulated at
the end of the Double Jeopardy! round will be allowed to compete in the Final
Jeopardy! round.
* First, the Final Jeopardy! category will be displayed. At this time, the
computer will prompt a contestant to place his or her wager. (The player with
the least amount of money going into the Final Jeopardy! round will go first.

turn their heads away from the screen at this point and cannot turn around

(picture of the "answer" of the Final Jeopardy! screen)
* Continue in this manner until all contestants have placed their bets and
have entered their responses.
* The computer will now reveal the answer to the Final Jeopardy! question.
Then each player's responses and wagers will be revealed. At this time, the
computer will display a message telling the player if his or her response was
correct or incorrect. If the response was correct, then the wager will be
added to the player's accumulated earnings. If incorrect, then it will be
deducted. This continues until all of the player's "questions" and wagers are
revealed.
(picture of the "computer reveal questions of the player" screen)
The player with the highest earning will be the NEW JEOPARDY! CHAMPION.
PLEASE NOTE: TO BEGIN A NEW GAME, PRESS START.
MESSAGE TO PLAYERS
This Game Pak uses a program which randomly accesses the puzzles. When your
Super Nintendo Entertainment System is turned off, the entire question file is
cleared. The categories and the "answers" are chosen at random by the
computer, so although there are over 3,500 "answers" in over 700 categories,
repetition may occur. If, during a
PAGE 13
-------
DELUXE JEOPARDY! DELUXE
round, you get a category that has appeared numerous times, you may change the
categories displayed by pressing Button A when prompted. You will only be
allowed to change the board when the message is being displayed on the screen.
Please note that the categories have numerous "answers," therefore, just
because the same category has appeared, it does not mean that you will receive
the same "answers."
This game has been programmed to utilize the full TV screen. Since some
older model TV sets have rounded screens, a portion of the image may be
blocked out.
HINTS ON GAME PLAY
* Words should be spelled as accurately as possible. The program will allow
for some minor misspellings. Be sure to check your "questions" before locking
them in.
* If your "answer" deals with a person, try to give his/her full name; if
applicable, a full title (ie. George Washington or Henry VIII).
* If the "question" is number oriented, the program will allow for the
spelling of the number or its numeric equivalent.
* Spacing between words is optional.
* When entering "questions," the cursor can be accelerated by pressing the
desired direction on the Control Pad and Button X, simultaneously.
