| I. Introduction |
+-----------------+
This guide aims to translate all the parts of Sandlot's Chou Shoujuu Mecha MG
which might be confusing to an English speaking player (or at least all the
parts which confused me when I first played it). If you wish to read less
specific information about the game I suggest you have a look at my review
which is also up on GameFAQs.
I had racked up almost 60 hours of play time when i started this guide and
my percentage completed was still teetering at around 98%. I have to confess
that I never expected this game to capture my interest as much as it has. Chou
Shoujuu Mecha MG provides that elusive combination of simple concept and depth
of play. However, it hasn't yet drawn the popular attention that I feel it
deserves and so I thought I'd construct this guide to help English speakers
understand the (relatively minor) parts of the game that can't be figured out
without some knowledge of Japanese.
This is the first FAQ I have publicly released. Considering that I don't speak
a word of Japanese, you might think I've given myself a rather ambitious task.
Thankfully a friend of mine worked through the translation with me. She's
Japanese, but I don't think she has ever played a video game in her life. So
translating the mecha/gaming vocabulary turned out to be a learning process
for both of us.
As I'm new to this I'd really appreciate your feedback. Whether that's in the
form of criticism, corrections or suggestions. Just send me an email with
'SG Mecha MG' as the topic and I'll do my best to make any improvements that
need to be done.
This guide is encoded in Shift-JIS format. To view the Japanese text you
should follow these steps:
<right click> -> <Encoding> -> Japanese (Shift-JIS) or Auto Select
If you don't have the Japanese language packs installed, then you'll need
to find out how to do that on your Operating System. For Windows XP it is
in the 'Regional and Language Options' section of the Control Panel.
+---------------+
| II. Factories |
+---------------+
When viewing your MGs in the selection screen (Press (Y) whilst in map mode)
you'll notice that your mecha are organized into columns. These columns divide
your MGs into different categories depending on which factory produced them.
Here is a translation of the factory names:
00 - Old Fashioned Factory
01 - Wheel Factory
02 - Heavy Industry Factory
03 - Wooden Factory
04 - Explosive Factory
05 - Bow Factory
06 - Clockwork Factory
07 - Ninja Factory
08 - Bullet Factory
09 - Special Factory
10 - Ivory Factory
+---------------+
| III. Upgrades |
+---------------+
How to install upgrades:
------------------------
Press (Y) to get to mecha selection screen.
Press (A) on MG you wish to upgrade
This brings up a menu with the following options:
-Pilot Marionette Gear
-Upgrade Marionette Gear
-Information
-Exit menu
Now choose Upgrade Marionette Gear and choose a slot to place the upgrade into.
Different MGs have different numbers of upgrade slots from one to four. Choose
the upgrade you wish to install and press (A). This brings up another menu.
Choose the top option in this menu. Congratulations, you've upgraded your MG.
Upgrades cannot be uninstalled/replaced without destroying the original
upgrade. So choose where to put your rare upgrades carefully.

| IV. MG Parts |
+--------------+
Building MGs:
-------------
As you progress through the game you will unlock parts which are named:
01_A, 01_B, 02_A, 02_B, 03_A ... 49_B, 50_A and 50_B
These parts can be combined at the green star in the centre of the map
(between NO. 1 and NO. 6). Choose the top option from the menu. The MG parts
are stored in Column 01. If you have a pair of parts:
E.G. 15_A & 15_B
you can choose to have the mechanic create an MG from them for an amount of
Gold displayed on the top screen. To do so select 15_A and press (A), and
when prompted choose the top option from each of the menus.
Part Locations:
---------------
The locations of these parts are taken from a Japanese guide on the @Wiki
website & all credit should go to them for this information. I have
confirmed most of these, as I used this guide to unlock the parts myself.
However, it's not as simple as you might expect. Simply completing the
mission does not guarantee that you'll be awarded the part you need. There
are some other factors which decide this.
Now, I have to confess that I really don't know how it works for sure. But
I believe that everytime you complete a mission on the required difficulty
you have a percentage chance of unlocking the part. This percentage goes
up or down depending on which MG you're using (actually, which factory the
MG is from). So if you're having trouble try using MGs from other factories.

| V. Secrets & Tips |
+-------------------+
Quick repair kits:
------------------
Japanese Name: 火龍水
The mecha in this game will break down after you致e used them for a fixed
number of missions and will need to be repaired. This repair is free but it
takes several successful missions before it is complete. This feature
encourages you to experiment with the 100 or so MGs on offer, but can be
tiresome if you rely on one powerful MG most of the time.
A Quick repair kit is an item which instantly recovers all of your MGs to full
stamina. Quick repair kits are single use items which are given as rewards in
some of the more challenging missions. To use them go to the green star in the
centre of the map (between NO. 1 and NO. 6) and choose the top option. The
repair kits are stored in Column 02 and are the only items in that column.
Locations of Quick repair kits: 12H, 22H, 26H, 26S, 61S, 92S, 93E & 93N
Multiplayer mode:
-----------------
This game does have a multiplayer mode, but it is not unlocked from the start.
You must progress through the game until you unlock mission NO. 39 After
watching a cut-scene you will be able to trade items by travelling to this
point on the map. This game is locally wireless (not Online) and require both
players to have a DS and the game. I haven稚 been able to test the multiplayer
yet but I believe that some of the best items can only be unlocked through
trading the treasures which you can collect in some levels.
N.B. There are no multiplayer battles. The only multiplayer feature is item
trading.
Collecting Gold:
----------------
Collecting enough gold to buy all of the expensive MGs when you池e late in the
game can be a very time consuming business. One tip I can suggest is equipping
one of the faster Bow Factory MGs with two of your most powerful speed
upgrades and racing the GPs (NO. 91-93) on Super Hard difficulty. I use GP1
because it is the shortest (and therefore quickest) race. They give a decent
amount of Gold (5200G for GP1) and are very easy with the speed power-ups.
NeoSeiffer says:
"I used to go to for the level with the Combattler-V-like mech, in the easiest
difficulty level. By picking a beetle-like mech you wouldn't be hit, and
defeating it would be easy, getting 1200 money per battle."
ooh44 says:
"If you've cleared the game. I recommend Mission 113 (Hard). It's easy to
destroy all Automan with 7 star+ Mech. You will get 4200G for a reward.
and If you set upgrades on your mech, you may get 10% or 20% more"
If you have any more tips for collecting gold fast, please send me an email
and I壇 be happy to add them.

A super special thank you to Midori for taking time out of her busy schedule
to help with the translation and to 16mm for giving me the inspiration to
actually write this guide rather than just think about writing it.
A big thanks to the @wiki for providing the Japanese names of upgrades I
hadn't unlocked and their locations and prices. Also for the locations of
the MG parts.
Thanks to people on the SG Mecha MG GameFAQs board for providing some of the
info for this guide.
Thanks to GrafiX, ed`, vidmoo & Hendo for being my irl gaming friends and
occasional clanmates.
Thanks to the Undernet crowd: {Gambit}, Lugnut, Kwyjibo, stip, gime & Road
without those guys I wouldn't have even half the knowledge of games I've
aquired over the years.
R.I.P. LARKVOMIT
Thanks to Jo & corn_mug for some good memories.
Thanks to BethanyM & CjayC because it's not a real FAQ if you don't thank them
Finally, thanks to the GameFAQs staff for hosting this guide.
