Gameplay
Edit
There are five game modes: 1P Quest puts the player in the campaign mode, building up the team and playing all the other teams on the World Map; 1P vs. Comp is an exhibition game in which Player 1 faces a computer-controlled team; 1P vs. 2P pits the two players against each other; 1P2P vs. Comp puts Players 1 and 2 on the same team to play against the computer; and 1P2P vs. 3P4P allows 4 players to play a game simultaneously.
The NES Satellite or NES Four Score can be used to allow 4 players to play simultaneously.
Throughout the game, money is earned and items can be purchased that can be used to help the player along the Quest campaign, similar to a role-playing game.
As in the real-world sport of hockey, the object is to score more goals than the opposing team to win the game.
