HOW TO ROCK

How Do I Get Star Power?

Gain Star Power by nailing a series of star- shaped notes that glow. You have to nail the entire group, otherwise you’re out of luck. You can gain even MORE Star Power by using the Whammy Bar on long Star Power notes. Press the Whammy Bar a bunch to get the most of those long Star Power Notes.

Once your Star Power Meter is at least half-full it’ll flash and that means you’re ready to tilt your Guitar Hero Les Paul Controller! To tilt, hold the

Guitar Hero Les Paul Controller straight up! Once Star Power is activated you can lower your Guitar Hero Les Paul Controller back down and continue jamming. Star Power will stay activated until the Star Power meter runs out.

(In no position to tilt the controller up? You can activate Star Power by pressing the BACK button.)

NOTES

Guitar Battle Rules

Instead of Star Power, you get Battle Power. Hit the Battle Gems to get a Power-Up. Tilt your guitar upward to attack the other player and make them miss. You have to make your opponent fail before the end of the song or else you go to Sudden Death. In Sudden Death all the power-ups become the devastating Death Drain.

Guitar ­Battle ­Attacks

Broken ­String: ­­Use this attack to break one of your opponent’s strings. The button on the guitar controller won’t work until they fix it by rapidly tapping that button until it is repaired.

Difficulty ­Up: This attack will increase the difficulty on your opponent’s note chart.

Amp ­Overload: This attack causes the scrolling fret board on your opponent’s screen to shake and blur, making it extremely difficult to read which notes are approaching.

Whammy ­Bar: Use this attack on your opponent to force them to move the whammy bar fast before they can play notes again.

Power-Up ­Steal: This attack steals your opponent’s attack before they can use it. If they don’t have one to steal and you activate this power, you’ll lose it.

Double ­Notes: ­­Deploying this attack forces your opponent to double up on how many notes they have to play.

The ­Lefty/Righty ­Flip: The Lefty/Righty Flip Attack swaps the note chart around opposite to how your opponent would normally play the game.

Death ­Drain: ­­In Sudden Death, the Death Drain power-up will drain your opponent’s rock meter.
