How to Play Remote Control
Quick start
Press START to enter contestant selection. Use Up/Down on controller 1 to choose a face; SELECT opens name entry, the direction pad changes letters, and SELECT finishes. For a solo game, press START after setting up your contestant. Once the host hands you control, choose a channel with Left/Right and A. Press A to buzz in, select an answer with the direction pad, then press B to submit. In the final round, choose the answer and confirm with A instead.
Controls

A: select a channel and buzz in during regular rounds; submit the selected answer during Think Real Fast. B: confirm an answer in regular rounds. Two human contestants use controllers 1 and 2 during the contest.
Remote Control — About this game
Remote Control brings MTV's irreverent quiz show to the NES with questions about television, rock stars, celebrities, and other pop-culture trivia. Three contestants compete, with one human facing two computer players or two humans sharing the stage with a computer opponent. Channel selection determines the category, but every contestant gets a chance to buzz in. A wrong answer gives the remaining rivals another opportunity, so quick reactions still need good judgment. The second round raises the stakes with doubled question values. Surprise channels can disrupt the contest, and the final Think Real Fast round replaces the usual three choices with a larger answer board. Channel colors help track which categories still have questions left.
