Game Description

With Nickelodeon GUTS for the Super NES, you can now experience the excitement of extreme sports in the comfort of your living room. Sort of an American Gladiators for the acne set, Nickelodeon GUTS lets you choose one of eight different competitors to take part in three types of wild and wacky athletic events: Elastic Sports, Action Sports, and the Aggro Crag.

In Elastic Sports, you'll strap yourself into a harness hooked to a long elastic cord. You'll jump and bounce around like a crazy person while trying to make as many shots as you can through the goal before the buzzer sounds.

There are three types of elastic games: Slam Dunk, which is a basketball game; Attack, which is a lacrosse competition; and Spirals, which has you throwing a football through a hanging tire. In each you can perform two different special moves, such as the reverse between the legs throw in the football game and the reverse slam in the basketball dunkathon.

Action Sports has you running, crawling, climbing, and jumping through a series of obstacle courses in order to reach the finish line as quickly as you can. Play is divided into two sections: Basic Training, which incorporates swinging ropes, suspended ropes, poles, water, slides, and punching bags into the action; and the Tornado Run, which is similar to Basic Training, but adds earthquake platforms and water jets to the mix. To give your competitor an edge, you can find bonus items that will give you extra time, a full energy bar, and access to a special bonus round in which you knock balls off of a wall.

Finally, the Aggro Crag is a mountain run that combines many of the obstacles from Action Sports with new obstacles such as confetti cannons, smoke jets, and moving platforms. As you work your way up the Aggro Crag, you must hit each of five activators before you can activate the last one at the top of the mountain.

Nickelodeon GUTS lets you play alone or challenge a friend to alternating (Aggro Crag and Action Sports) or simultaneous (Elastic Sports) competition. You can enter a single event or play the GUTS Show, which lets you train in two Action Sports and two randomly selected Elastic Sports. If you score enough points in the show, you will advance to the Aggro Crag.
