Bump 'n Run

Two bumper cars, PURPLE and YELLOW, share a rink with one ball. Drive over the free ball to take it, then press the button to shoot it: it leaves with your car's speed and direction, and your car stops dead. The ball never slows down; it bounces off the padded rails until someone takes it, and the shooter cannot take it back until it has bounced once. Bump the other car to swap speeds with it, and if either of you holds the ball, it changes hands. Your car speeds up while you push the stick and slows when you let go. Shoot the ball into the far net (PURPLE scores on the right, YELLOW on the left). The first to 15 goals wins. Two people can play, or one against a computer YELLOW.

Controls: Controller 1 drives PURPLE and controller 2 drives YELLOW; in a one-player game either controller drives PURPLE. The stick accelerates and a button shoots. On the title, up and down choose and a button selects.
