This one covers the GameBoy game Monster Truck Wars, which is not really a demolition-derby game as one might think, but is just another racing game. =/ Yeah, I don't have much to say about this; not real good with this, you know.

They will widen/narrow the screen, respectively. Otherwise, N/A. There also is a soft reset combination that lets you return to the title screen - A+B+Start+Select. ---------------- Playing the Game ---------------- This game is pretty simple to describe. When you start up, you'll be allowed to choose your truck, and the difficulty of the AI. After that, you'll begin your race. The race will begin with a time-trial heat, in which you must have the fourth-best time out of six to be allowed into the actual race. In general, beating your opponent will let you win. Unlike the real race, which is four laps, you only do one lap in the time trial. If you fail the time trial, you'll have three attempts, overall, to pass. After that is the real race, versus three AI players. You can get any position you can grab here - the better you do, the more points and cash you'll get. The points determine your overall standings by the game's end; cash is used to make some upgrades. During the races, you'll find yourself on an extremely narrow, extremely linear track. There is no point in me really describing each and every track, due to the extreme linearity and repetition. On the track, you'll notice potholes, bumps, and cars. These mostly are set to mess up your truck's suspension, though they can also damage other things. Speaking of the cars, you'll end up getting power-ups if you run over cars and completely crush them. These are typically repairs, cash, or nitrous boosts. After a race, before the next time-trial heat, you'll be allowed to repair and upgrade parts of your car. The tires are just damaged from being used or bumped into by enemies. The suspension is damaged by bumps, running over things, and such. The engine is damaged by running into things. The nitrous doesn't get damaged; just used. The chassis also seems to get damaged by running into things. The game ends when you've played all of the races or fail the time-trial heat three times in a row. ----------- Your Trucks ----------- There are six trucks you are allowed to choose from for use during the course of the game.
