Notes:

The background listing doesn’t show the character names above the scores, but they are seen in the magazine’s screenshots, so I included them.

Game Instructions:

It’s a two-player ball game. Get under the ball and, when it gets close to hitting you, press either the ‘A’ or ‘B’ button on the controller to do a little “hop” that hits the ball. The ‘A’ hop knocks the ball forward and high into the air. the ‘B’ hop knocks the ball further forward, but does not go as high. If you can get the ball all the way to the wall, then you get a point.

The game ends when a player reaches 5 points, but must win by at least two points. If the two-points requirement isn’t reached, then the game goes into “deuce” and continues until a two-point lead is reached.
