Numan Athletics/Interceptor

''Before this event, you will be treated to a short cutscene featuring Masaemon, which explains that you will have to use the first and third buttons to walk to the left and right and the second button to fire off at the bullets (launched by the distant boat); the text "HINT: Shoot down it quickly!" will then appear.''

Needed/Record: 6700 Try: 2 times

The equivalent of the Firing Ranges from Konami's Combat School, this event will open with your Numan at the edge of a dock in the Soviet Union; once the text "READY! GO!!" appears on the screen you shall have twenty seconds to try and destroy as many bullets as you can (launched by the boat in the distance). You will receive between 400 and 1000 points for every bullet you destroy (depending on how far it is from your Numan) - and your "GET" (the point value you received for the last bullet) and "TOTAL" (your total point value, is also displayed under your Numan's name at the bottom of the screen) values will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen. If a bullet hits the dock, it shall explode, as the text "BA-DOOM!" appears on the screen and your Numan gets blown into the water, therefore automatically failing the event (even if you have scored over 6700 points); if it was their second attempt, they will get "retired", and the game will continue without them (if a bullet hits your Numan, it will blow all their clothes off, which is more embarrassing for Sharon than the others). However, if you scored over 6700 points, your Numan will again show off for the crowd as balloons come up from the bottom of the screen - and again, you will not only qualify for the next event, but that text "CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S A NEW RECORD! ENGRAVE YOUR NAME ON HISTORY!" will also appear on the screen. You then have thirty seconds to enter your initials, by using the first and third buttons to select the letters, then pressing the second one to confirm your choice; if there is only one player, the game will proceed on to the next event, Missile Toss in Kenya, but if there are two, three or four players, it shall proceed to a second, third or fourth Interceptor event before doing so. A 4-player game therefore lasts longer.
