How to Play Kings of the Beach
Quick start
Press START, move Spike to Registration and press A. Set players, difficulty and match length, then choose Exit To The Beach. Enter a Bump, Set or Spike practice court with A before trying Match or Tournament. Watch the ball's shadow to position yourself. Wait for the whistle before serving; A+B gives an easy underhand serve.
Controls
D-pad: move and aim shots. Receiving: A bumps the ball. Attacking: B sets; hold longer for a higher set. A+B spikes. Blocking: press Up to jump, then A+B. Serving: A+B underhand; A or B tosses, then B hits flat or A jump-serves. Menus: D-pad and A. SELECT returns to the beach. After a disputed call, approach the referee and press START before the score appears; arguing can cost a point.
Kings of the Beach — About this game
Kings of the Beach puts Sinjin Smith and Randy Stoklos on the sand for two-on-two volleyball. Playing alone means working with a computer-controlled partner; two players can cooperate or compete. Match Play supports up to four people on original hardware with a multiplayer adapter, while Tournament limits human players to two teammates. Winning three consecutive matches at each of five beaches advances the tournament, with passwords available between stages. The serving team alone can score, so regaining service is an important part of every rally.
