C aser Strategy
When play begins, one of your Chasers will be holding the Quaffle. You need to move
the Quaffle up the field and score! You have three Chasers; each one can pass and
catch the Quaffle.
Usually two Chasers will be lined up side by side. The third Chasers will either be
slightly in front of the other two or right behind them. That way, you can either pass
the ball back and forth and when a defensive player comes at you, you can throw
the Quaffle to your third Chaser!
Turn your broom LEFT or RI HT or lift your broom UP or DOWN while holding
the Quaffle. Your Chaser will move on the field in the direction you choose (LEFT,
RI HT, UPFIELD or DOWNFIELD).
Hold the ACTION BUTTON and turn your broom LEFT
or RI HT to select your shot direction. Then release the
ACTION BUTTON to shoot to the opponent player's hoops!
If you turn your broom to the LEFT, you will shoot the
Quaffle ball to the left side of the 3 hoops. If you turn your
broom to the RI HT, you will shoot the Quaffle ball to the right
side of the 3 hoops.
If you don't turn the broom, you will shoot the Quaffle ball forward
toward the center of the hoops.
If you don't choose a direction when you press the ACTION BUTTON
for shooting, you will automatically just shoot the Quaffle ball forward and straight.
The other strategy to remember with your Chasers, is to try and avoid the Bludgers
so you don't get stunned by them!
Out of Bounds
If you take a shot and you miss the hoops and the Quaffle goes out
of bounds, the other side will automatically take possession of the
Quaffle back at the middle of the field.
Keeper Strategy
When you are controlling the Keeper, turn
your broom to make him move left and
right to block the Quaffle. After the Keeper
makes a successful save, he will throw the ball
to one of his teammates!
Scoring
When a team scores a goal, the screen will show the logo
of the team that scored and then the new score will be
displayed.
Seeker Strategy
The olden Snitch will appear randomly during play.
When it appears, no matter what is happening, the view switches to the Seeker and
you will automatically be controlling your Seeker player.
You will see the olden Snitch flying in front of you.
It will move in a crazy fashion left, right, up and down. Sometimes it moves fast,
sometimes it moves slow.
As the Seeker, you must move your broom LEFT, RI HT, UP and DOWN to try
and chase the Snitch. You want to line up the Snitch in the center of the screen.
When the Snitch is right in the center of the screen and close to you (the olden
Snitch will change to a larger size), press the ACTION BUTTON very quickly to
catch the Snitch.
It is a difficult thing to do!
When you are unable to catch the Snitch, it will fly off screen and the view of the
game will return to normal up and down field Chaser play.
Sometimes, you will see the opponent Seeker fly by!
Sometimes, you will see a Bludger flying on screen towards you. ET OUT OF THE
WAY !
If the Bludger hits you, you will lose your
chance to catch the Snitch!
Remember, the game will not end until the
Seeker on one of the teams catches the Snitch!
Instant Replays
Really good plays deserve to be seen again! You'll see instant replays for goals
scored, saves made, when a regular player is hit by a Bludger, when a Seeker is hit
by a Bludger, and when a Seeker catches the olden Snitch to win the game.
Scoring
10 POINTS each time you score a "goal" by getting the Quaffle into one of the
opponent's hoops.
150 POINTS when you catch the olden Snitch, this ends the game, and the team
with the most points wins!
OUCH!
YOU WIN!
