Hold the shot meter and release at the right mark
Basketball Stars is one-on-one arcade basketball with oversized heads and a loud crowd. The menu offers 1 Player, 2 Players, Quick Match and a Tutorial. The tutorial teaches the basics on a full indoor court: walk with the arrow keys, pick up the ball, step into the green shot spot, then hold the up arrow so a power meter fills and release it when the meter reaches the marked zone.
