9, JPN 9, Rotation, and 8 Ball. With
JPN 9, up to 4 players can enjoy.
With others, you play either against
the COM or another player.
Tournament Mode
Play against the COM in a tourna-
ment with varying modes. Try and
see how far you can get!
US 9 Ball — Rules
US 9 Ball is played with 2 players. You will play against either the
COM or another player.
Which Ball to Hit
You must hit the ball with the lowest number
on the pool table.
As long as you hit the lowest-numbered ball
first, any ball can be sunk into the pocket.
You will continue your turn until you either
miss or make a foul.
Foul
If the cue ball drops into the pocket, it is
called a foul. If the first ball hit is not the low-
est-numbered ball, this is also a foul. The
next player can place the cue ball anywhere
on the pool table to take his turn.
Sink the 9 Ball to Win
Your main objective is to sink the 9 Ball. As
long as the lowest-numbered ball is hit first,
you may sink the 9 Ball with a combo shot for
the win. If the 9 Ball is sunk while you make
a foul, it is placed back on the table.

JPN 9 Ball — Rules
Japanese 9 Ball is played with 4 players. COM players will play
the vacant places, if any, to fill in.
Play for Points
Each player is given 20 points to start the
game. The player with the most points after
all sets are finished wins the game.
You get 1 point from each player if you pocket
the 3, 5 or 7 Ball, and 2 points if you pocket
the 9 Ball. You get double points if these
balls are sunk into side pockets.
Which Ball to Hit
As in US 9 Ball, you must hit the ball with the
lowest number on the pool table, but you
may sink any numbered balls. The 3, 5, 7
and 9 balls will, however, be placed back on
the table if they are sunk before their order.
Turns to Hit
You will continue your turn until you either
miss or make a foul.
Foul
As in US 9 Ball, it is a foul if a cue ball is
sunk or when the lowest-numbered ball is
not hit first. Any ball sunk will be placed back
on the table.
Sinking the 9 Ball
When the 9 Ball is sunk in its proper order,
and if the cue ball stops at the breaking area
of the table, the same player breaks the next
set from the same spot. Otherwise, the next
player breaks.
