The First Time You Play

Get Ready
- Insert the support with the wider edge into the front of the base.
- (No caption is printed for this step. The diagram shows the landing mat fitted onto the base.)
- Switch the power button to ON. (Be sure to switch it OFF after playing.)
Time to Play
- Place the gymnast by snapping his hands onto the high bar, facing the landing mat.
- Press the yellow button slowly, and then faster as he picks up speed.
- Press and hold the red button to release the gymnast and send him flying!
Scoring
You must land the gymnast on his feet to earn any points. Check out the mat. It's divided into three zones, which show you your score. To win: stick the perfect landing!
| Zone | Points | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green | 100 | Perfect landing! |
| Yellow | 50 | Pretty good |
| Red | 25 | On your way |
| Crash Landing | 0 | Ouch! |
If you land on the line between two colors, you must take the lower score.
Challenge Your Friends to a Fantastic Gymnastics Tournament

Tips From the Pros
- Press the yellow button slowly and steadily until the gymnast starts rotating fully. The slower you go at first, the better he will fly. Then pick up the speed. Don't be random with that button! Short rhythmic taps are better than long presses.
- If you're having trouble, press the yellow button when the gymnast's legs are in a backswing position. He will start going higher and higher. Think about how it feels to "pump" your legs on a swing.
- Press and hold the red button to release the gymnast.
- Be careful not to lean in too close to the game unit as you play.
- The landing mat fits snugly under the base. You may remove it after playing.
- If you're playing solo, try to beat your own highest score.
- Finally, keep practicing. You'll get it!
