How to Play Knight Rider
Quick start
Use Select to choose MISSION and press Start. During Devon's briefing, wait for the text and arrow, then use A to read on; Start takes you directly to Machine Check. Highlight equipment with Select, confirm with A, and press Start to drive. Accelerate with Up, steer clear of traffic, and brake before sharp curves. Aim A-button shots at enemies rather than blue civilian vehicles.
Controls
Left and Right steer, Up accelerates, and Down brakes. A fires the current weapon; B uses the Turbo Boost jump. Select cycles weapons, and Start pauses or resumes. A advances briefing text. At Machine Check, Select highlights equipment, A selects it, and Start begins the drive. Missiles and lasers cannot fire when their ammunition is empty.
Knight Rider — About this game
Knight Rider turns the television partnership of Michael Knight and KITT into a driving shooter for the NES. Mission briefings lead into Machine Check, where you select equipment before taking to the highway. On the road, the race to the next confrontation is constrained by fuel, shields, and time. Weapons let you fight back, but firing indiscriminately at civilian cars carries a penalty. Gunfire, missiles, lasers, and a jumping Turbo Boost provide different tools for the chase; conserving the car is just as important as attacking. Drive mode offers the roads without enemy combat.
