Introduction (JINT)
Hello and welcome to the first and only FAQ/Walkthrough for Jeopardy! Sports
Edition on the Super Nintendo. My name is Arguro and my e-mail is Arguro AT
Hotmail.com I write this guide for the very few people out there who enjoy
sports as well as video games. This game is based on the television show
Jeopardy. Only sports related questions appear within this game. I think
that anyone who enjoys sports history and or trivia will enjoy this game as
it is quick to learn and fun to play with multiple people. I hope you enjoy
this game as well as this guide. If you have any comments or questions,
please e-mail them to me. Thanks!
Walkthrough (JWKT)
Start the game by pressing start at the title screen. You will be asked how
many players there are. You can select up to 3 players by pressing the up
and down buttons on the directional pad. Press start when you have selected
the proper number. If you are playing with less than 3 people, you will be
asked if you want to play against the computer or not. This simply fills in
the extra slots with computer controlled players, making the game feel more
like the show on TV.
Next you will be asked to enter the names of the players. You can enter up to
six characters. The D-pad moves the cursor, A button selects a letter and B
button erases a letter. Press start when finished. Now you can select your
image. There is no advantage to one image over another. You can select from
a baseball player, basketball player, golfer, tennis player, Ice Skater
(female) or tennis player (female) in that order. Use select to switch
between them and press A to confirm. Here you will enter more names or jump
straight into the game.
You will be presented with a board of six categories with five dollar amounts
in each. A correct answer provides the dollar amount shown. Player number 1
selects first (the player on the far left). You can select any dollar amount
under any category. There is no time limit, so it is best to start at the
top and work your way down a category you are good at.
After selecting an answer, Alex Trebek will say "the answer is" and something
will appear on screen. In Jeopardy, you are given the answer and you must
come up with the question. Generally, the question is one or two words,
typically a noun, quite often a personality in a specific sport or the name
of a sport or team.
The answer will be displayed for a few seconds before anyone can ring in.
This gives everyone a chance to read the clue before answering. There is a
small stop sign that turns into a countdown of numbers. Once it becomes a 9
you can ring in.
When a you ring in to give the answer, you will be presented with a screen
that displays your character on the top left, the answer on the right and a
blue box with several different things in it. It looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is: Time: 60
1234567890
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
-space-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your curser will be on the letters. Using the directional pad, you move
along the letters or by pressing up, the numbers. Use button A to select a
number or letter. When you are satisfied with your response, press Start.
At the top of the screen, you will be told whether or not you are correct. A
correct answer means you get to pick the next category. If you are wrong,
you lose the select amount of money and someone else has a chance to answer.
When a computer controller player rings in and answers incorrectly, only
three question marks will come up. The computer players do not have the
alphabet shown on their screen and will generally answer within 5 seconds,
either way. If a computer controlled player answers correctly, he or she
will choose the next answer.
There are three rounds in Jeopardy. The first round has clues that range
from $100 to $500 in value and there is one Daily Double hidden within the
round. The second round, called Double Jeopardy has clues ranging from $200
to $1,000, only covering every other 100 dollar amount. There are two daily
doubles within this round. The last round is called Final Jeopardy and only
has one clue.
In Final Jeopardy, you can wager any amount of money, up to your total dollar
amount. If you get the question right, you will gain that amount and if you
are incorrect, you will lose that amount. You should make your wager based
on your knowledge of the category. You cannot see the answer before you
wager.
Daily doubles work in the same way, with one exception. Only the person who
selects the daily double gets a chance to wager and respond. Daily Doubles
are hidden and cannot be predetermined where they are located. It is wise to
make a wager based on your knowledge of the category and the total score of
your opponents. That is essentially all there is to the game.
Answers and Questions (JA&Q)
Below is a sample of questions found in the game. This is in no way a
conclusive list and only has a select few categories. I do intend to add
more to it but I will not make it complete unless there is demand for it.
There quite a few questions and they do repeat after a while so it is likely
that you will see them more than once. If you have answers and questions
that do not appear on this list, please send them to me and I will include
them. They must have a category or I will not add them.

Tips (JTIP)
Each response can usually be entered in a number of different ways. For
example, if the question is "National Football League" you can just enter
"NFL" In the same way, if the answer is a number, you can enter "two" or
"2."
Last names are acceptable responses. If you do not know the first name of a
person, just enter his last name. Using last names takes less time and are
just as good. For example, if the answer is "Arnold Palmer", you can just
enter "Palmer."
If you know the correct response, start pressing the a button repeatedly so
that you will be the first to ring in when the countdown starts.
FAQS (JFAQ)
Q: What is this game exactly?
A: This is a video game representation of the syndicated trivia television
show called Jeopardy that is hosted by Alex Trebek. This version only deals
with sports related questions and answers.
Q: I don't know the question to _______! Can you tell me?
A: If the answer isn't covered above in the selected answers then I probably
cannot help you. The correct response will be revealed either by a computer
opponent or at the end of 10 seconds of no one answering correctly. Just
remember the response because the question will come around again.
Q: What is the authors opinion of the game?
A: In short, I think it is an average game. It is a decent sports trivia
game and most people who like sports trivia will enjoy this game. It moves
along a little slowly and takes longer than the actual show to complete a
full game. For a full review, check out my review for the game that I wrote
back in June 2004. You can find it here:
