|I. INTRODUCTION| (INTRO)
\---------------/
The main character of Custom Robo is your average, silver-haired teenager. His
father left him as a child but told him to take care of a special watch. After
a while, our character learns that his father died, and in his will, he said,
"Son, become a commander." So our hero goes to Steel Hearts to get a job.
After being on the job for about a week, our hero starts to learn about a
catastrophic event that occurred centuries ago...

*phone rings*
???: ...Hello?
Father: Ah, you're there. Good.
???: Huh? Dad, is that you?
Father: I can't take long, Son. Can you come outside? Right now?
???: Huh? Yeah, O-OK!
*hangs up*
*door opens*
???: Dad! What's wrong, Dad? Why aren't you at work?
Father: It's your birthday, isn't it? I brought you a present. Here, hold out
your hand.
???: ...Wow! It's the watch you promised me! But...don't you need that for
work?
Father: It's...a very special watch, Son. There's nothing else like it in the
world. And I want you to have it.
???: You're serious? You're really giving it to me?!! Thanks, Dad!! This is
so cool!
Father: Like I said, it's very...special...and I need you to take care of it.
???: No problem, Dad! I'll take good care of it!!
Father: Good. Now promise me one more thing... Keep it on you...always.
Don't ever take it off.
???: Uh-huh! You got it, Dad! I'm never, ever gonna take it off!
Father: Think of me when you wear this watch. Take good care of it... Even
when you're all grown up, I want you to keep it safe, OK?
???: Uh-huh!
*cell phone rings*
Father: Look at the time... Dad's got to go. You be a good boy now.
*footsteps*
???: Huh? You're leaving? But you just got here...
Father: I'm sorry, Son, but I have to. There's some work that only your old
man can do. I have to go. Good-bye, Son... And remember, think of me when
you wear this watch. Take care of it. Don't forget, all right?
???: I won't! But...Dad, where are you going?
Father: Far away... I hav to go to a place that's very far away...
*car drives away*
???: D-Dad?...
About ten years later...
DAY ONE: EMPLOYMENT
The game starts with you being woken up by Lucy, your landlady. Apparently,
our character has to go to an interview with Stale Horse. Err... Steel Hearts,
I mean. Our character gets up and changes into regular clothes. Every morning
will start like this...
Walk out of your apartment and go left. You'll have a conversation with Lucy
about your father and how he wanted you to be a commander. Walk out of the
apartment complex, and the game will take over, taking you to Steel Hearts HQ.
Walk up to the bald guy to start your interview.
No matter what you say, you'll totally blow the interview because you don't
have a custom robo. Harry, the employee who was sitting on the couch, will
come over to support you... kinda. Suddenly, Ernest's phone rings.
Apparently, there's a burglary at the research lab. Harry will lead you there.
You walk in, and... there are people facing each other surround by blue auras
with black spheres between them. Right... According to Linda, the lab
director, the thieves are after Ray 01, the newest robo in development. Harry
runs over and "battles" the last guy. Our hero asks Linda what in the world
is going on, and she explains how custom robo battles work. Then she tells
you to help Harry. When the game gives you control, run over to Harry.
Instead of helping him, you accidentally make him blow the battle. Nice...
You offer to use Harry's robo to fight, but he's already done some kind of
eye-scan registering thingy. Go over to the cube and press A. Press the
button. I guess that's an eye-scan registration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAY 01
The Ray 01 is the first robo you get in the game. It is well-balanced, and the
Ray 01 set comes with the Ray 01 body, the Basic Gun, the Standard Bomb, the
Standard Pod, and the Standard Legs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go over to the Burglar and talk to him. He asks you if you really want to
battle him, and then Harry tells you the essentials of fighting a robo battle.
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM BANG BANG!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
??? vs. Burglar
Opponent Data:
BODY: Splendor
GUN: Basic
BOMB: Standard
POD: Standard
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Basic Arena
Battle Spoils: N/A
Okay... your first battle. Run around and use the cover to your advantage.
A good strategy to use is to hide behind a wall, jump(A), and fire. Keep doing
this and dodge his fire, and eventually, you'll win. Also, keep this in mind:
his robo is the Splendor. It's a Shining Fighter like the Ray 01, but it has
better defensive capabilities. Your robo is faster, though, so you can get
away from his shots more quickly. Keep that in mind and take advantage of it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you beat this burglar, one of the police squad members will fall. Avenge
him and defeat the second burglar. Harry will explain how to use the bombs and
pods. Careful, though, you'll take damage if you're within the blast radius!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
??? vs. Burglar
Opponent Data:
BODY: Metal Ape
GUN: Basic
BOMB: Standard
POD: Standard
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Basic Arena
Battle Spoils: N/A
This is just like the last battle, except the opponent is using the Metal Ape.
The Metal Ape is strong offensively and defensively, but it's speed leaves a
lot to be desired. Take advantage of this like in the last battle. Stay far
away so he can't get close to you. Use the "jump, fire, and run" strategy
again, and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\---------/
Take the next guy! This time, Harry tells you how to jump and charge.
However, you should already know about the jumping.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
??? vs. Burglar
Opponent Data:
BODY: Splendor
GUN: Basic
BOMB: Standard F
POD: Standard
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Basic Arena
Battle Spoils: Twin Flank Pod F
I know what you're thinking... What's the difference between Standard and
Standard F? Almost nothing... When the Standard F bomb hits you, you'll be
thrown sideways. Same amount of damage, though. Besides the bomb, this should
be exactly the same as your first battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWIN FLANK POD F
The Twin Flank Pod F fires two pods to either side of the user. When the pods
hit, they throw the opponent sideways. These pods are excellent for when your
opponent is on the other side of the wall. If done right, the pods will go
around the wall, surrounding the foe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, immediately go to the parts generator (the glowing thing
north from where you're standing.) After you get the part, go to the Customize
Robo screen and switch pods. It's not required, but I recommend it because
this new pod is better than the Standard one. Go to the last guy. Careful...
as in all video games, the last guy is usually the hardest. Harry will teach
you how to speed up robo transformation, and then there you go!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
??? vs. Burglar
Opponent Data:
BODY: Metal Bear
GUN: 3-Way
BOMB: Standard F
POD: Feint F
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Basic Arena
Battle Spoils: 3-Way Gun
Okay... this will be harder than the other guys. The Metal Bear is slower than
the Metal Ape, but it is extremely strong offensively and defensively, much
more so than the Ray 01. The 3-Way gun fires bullets in three columns, so you
will have to do some MAJOR dodging to win this one... The Feint F pod is
used mostly to get in the way because it explodes right next to you.
Stay down and don't be an open target. Don't give him a chance to use his gun,
because it hurts. If you stay away from him and behind the walls, he won't
even use his gun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3-WAY GUN
The 3-Way gun fires three columns of bullets. It is more powerful than the
Basic Gun, so I recommend switching to it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\---------/
After the battle, the Lab Techs start to clean up, and a woman named Mira comes
over. Apparently, she's the captain of the police squad... and Harry's sister.
After she and another police squad member leave, Linda comes over. She
suggests that you be the one to test Ray 01. You've already registered anyway,
so... might as well. Here is where you get to name your character. From here
on out, I'll just refer to him as Hero instead of ???. After Linda leaves,
Harry explains the parts generator and tells you to talk to the Lab Techs.
Before you can leave, you have to talk to all of them. You learn about the
following (from left to right):
The Lab
Getting Experience/Parts Generators
Definition of Commander
Eye-scan Registration
Parts of a Robo
Diving
Robo Forms/Holosseums
Parts Generators/Glossary/Gun Ranges
After you talk to them, go back to Harry. You'll walk out of the Lab. From
here, go back to Steel Hearts HQ. Ernest decides to hire you. "But the pay
stinks!" At this point, you can decide to end the day right then and there
or wander around. At this point in the game, there's not much to wander to,
so I recommend selecting the first option. Later, though, you can go to Hub
Park and the other places and sometimes see some comical stuff.

DAY TWO: TRAINING
After Lucy wakes you up, go outside for a talk with her. After that, go to
work. Ernest tells you to train at the gym. When you get there, Harry
suggests a 1-on-1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Harry
Opponent Data:
BODY: Glory
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Crescent P
POD: Speed P
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Diamond Fences
Battle Spoils: Standard Bomb S
The Gatling gun... be careful. The rounds aren't as strong as your 3-Way, but
if it hits you, it will hurt pretty badly because the rounds are practically
rapid-fire. Besides that, the battle should be easy. The Glory is faster than
the Ray 01, but its armor is weak, so use that to your advantage.
I suggest using slide shots when he's open. A slide shot is when you fire a
shot while running. The robo will slide while it's shooting. If you time it
right, you can finish your shot just before hiding behind cover.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD BOMB S
The Standard Bomb S is just like the bomb you have now, except that it stuns
the target for about a second. That stun can give you time to run, so you
should switch bombs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, start fighting the computers at the other holosseum decks.
The order I will present them is left to right.
The first computer tells you about getting knocked down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Computer
Opponent Data:
BODY: Buggy
GUN: Basic
BOMB: Standard
POD: Dolphin
LEGS: Short Thrust
Holosseum: Diamond Fences
Battle Spoils: Speed Pod D
Pretty simple. The Buggy is slow, but it has good armor. It's gun and bomb
are standard, and it has a Dolphin pod. These are a lot faster than any other
pod you've encountered, so be careful. And its Short Thrust legs hinder its
ability to air-dash, so that makes it easier.
Just hit it with the Standard S Bomb to stun it, and then shoot it. If hitting
it with a bomb gets too hard, just keep shooting. It will go down eventually.
If he gets too close, shoot him to push him away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPEED POD S
The Speed Pod S moves forward quickly, as the name implies. Compared to other
pods, its homing abilities leave something to be desired.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next computer will talk about the Trick Flyer model.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Computer
Opponent Data:
BODY: Buggy
GUN: 3-Way
BOMB: Standard F
POD: Standard
LEGS: Wide Jump
Holosseum: High-Rise Plaza
Battle Spoils: Criminal
A Buggy with a 3-Way. Things get interesting here... It's legs allow it to
jump farther, and it's bomb will blast you sideways. Keep as far away from it
as possible, and never run in the open without a slide shot. Obey those rules,
and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRIMINAL
The Criminal is slow on the ground, but it has three air-dashes compared to the
Ray 01's two. The air-dashes are quick, so you can play a good air game.
Personally, I prefer the Ray 01, but it's your choice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next computer talks about the dangers of stopping.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Computer
Opponent Data:
BODY: Peregrine
GUN: 3-Way
BOMB: Standard S
POD: Dolphin
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Diamond Fences
Battle Spoils: Gemini Bomb P
The Peregrine is extremely fast and can dodge most hits. However, when a shot
does make contact, it goes down instantly. It will be hard to stay away from
it because it is faster than both the Ray 01 and the Criminal, but do your
best.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GEMINI BOMB P
The Gemini Bomb P, when fired from the ground, fires a bomb to left and right
of the opponent. When from the air, front and back. These are mainly used to
restrict movement, but I prefer a more offensive pod, like the Twin Flank F
or Speed S.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last computer talks about slide shots, but you should already know about
those.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Computer
Opponent Data:
BODY: Peregrine
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Standard
POD: Cockroach H
LEGS: Ground
Holosseum: High-Rise Plaza
Battle Spoils: Cockroach Pod H
A Peregrine with a Gatling...ouch. That could get deadly. Keep behind cover
and always, always use a slide shot when switching cover.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COCKROACH POD H
The Cockroach Pod H moves slowly until it gets close to an opponent. Then it
speeds up. But you have to be really close for it to work, so I don't
recommend it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the match, Ernest will call you and order you to tell Harry to call him.
Go over to where the receptionist is to find him flirting with her. When
Harry calls him, he gets a mouthful. Apparently, there's work at Hub Park.
The game leads you over there. When you arrive, you see two guys battling, and
the girl, Mary, tells you what happened. After she leaves, Harry tells you to
pick one of the guys to fight. It doesn't matter which one you fight. You'll
still get the same part after the battle, so I'll cover both.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Anthony
Opponent Data:
BODY: Criminal
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Crescent P
POD: Feint G
LEGS: Long Thrust
Holosseum: Flower Garden
Battle Spoils: Reflection Pod, Long Thrust Legs
Okie dokie... Watch out for the pods, as they will be used to restrict your
movement. Try to stay behind cover; there's plenty of it in this holosseum.
You've dealt with a Gatling gun before, so you should be familiar with how to
fight against it.
As long as you stay behind cover, you'll be fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Thomas
Opponent Data:
BODY: Splendor
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Straight G
POD: Speed D
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum:
Battle Spoils: Reflection Pod, Long Thrust Legs
Okay... Thomas's bomb is the Straight G. It simply goes straight, and when it
hits, you will be blown upwards, vulnerable to a Gatling shot. Nice combo,
now that I think about it. You're familiar with the Speed pods, and he has
the Standard legs. Not too hard. Thomas will try to get close to you, so
if he does, charge at him. This battle is the harder of the two, so good luck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REFLECTION POD
The Reflection Pod fires three pods that have no homing capabilities. They
simply bounce off of the walls until they explode. Useful is small arenas, but
remember, the pods can hurt you too, so don't release them in a small corner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LONG THRUST LEGS
The Long Thrust Legs increase the distance you can air-dash. Do not use with
robos that have a continuous jump.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the guys try to tackle you, but a blue-haired girl warns
Harry just in time. So this is Marcia, a co-worker and a highly skilled one.
Anyway, she asks you what license you have. License? Whazzat? Apparently,
if you don't have a license and you're a bounty hunter, you'll be arrested.
After Marcia reprimands Harry, go back to Steel Hearts HQ.
Ernest says it's not his problem, until Marcia points out it's his
responsibility and he could get arrested. The employees get to the subject of
their licenses. Marcia is Class-B, but she can't take the Class-A test because
of her salary. Uh oh, touchy subject for Ernest. He leaves and excuses you.

DAY THREE: GETTING LICENSED
Lucy wakes you up and tells you to take the lying test. Err... ok. When you
exit the apartment complex, turn right and go to the domed building. Go in to
find Harry... flirting with the receptionist. He'll give you your exam card.
Before taking the test, go to the parts generator if you haven't updated your
parts yet. Then go to the computer on the far right and press A. The first
part of the test is knowledge. Here are the answers:
What is the name of a person who controls a custom robo?
Commander
What is it called when a person and his robo become one?
A Dive
What is it called when your robo is in its easy-to-carry form?
Robo Cube
What is the custom robo research center also known as?
Laboratory
Which license class do you need to join the police squad?
Class A
What is the name of the arena where custom robos fight?
Holosseum
What is the name of the machine that transfers custom robo data?
Parts Generator
Which of the following is an actual custom robo part?
Pod
The proper name of this testing hall is called the Custom Robo...
Department of Licensing
What question number are we on?
10th question
The computer will process your results. If you passed, you go on to a fight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Computer
Opponent Data:
BODY: Buggy
GUN: 3-Way
BOMB: Gemini B
POD: Cockroach G
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: Crevice Court
Battle Spoils: Class-D License, Feather Legs
The Buggy is slower than the Criminal, but it has stronger armor. You should
be familiar with the 3-Way Gun, and you've encountered these bombs and pods
before. In case you've forgotten, the Gemini bombs fire two bombs at once to
either side of the opponent, and the Cockroach pods move slowly until they see
their target. The Quick Jump legs decrease the height of a robo's jump. I
don't know why the makers put these legs on a Trick Flyer model because it
has a good air game. Oh well... easier for you.
Watch out for the 3-Way Gun, as its rounds do more damage than the Gatling. If
you keep him away from you and keep using your gun at every chance, you should
win. Another good thing to do is, when he's in view, send a Speed pod his way
and run.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS-D LICENSE
A Class-D license is required to be a bounty hunter. As of now, you and Harry
both have Class-D licenses.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATHER LEGS
The Feather Legs slow the speed of a robo's descent, decrease vulnerability
after landing, and allows you to turn sharply on the ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting your license, talk to Harry, and you'll leave. Go to Steel
Hearts HQ and give Ernest the good news. When he finds out, he tells Harry to
take you home. When you walk in, watch Harry run away. Oops! Left the paper
with Trish's number!

DAY FOUR: THE PROBLEM NEXT DOOR
As per usual, Lucy wakes you up. Go out, and you'll hear yelling coming from
next door. Go to work, and Ernest will tell you to go home. Nice boss...
Apparently, the yelling you heard was just before a robo battle between Walt
and his wife, Carmen. You and a sad Harry have to go stop it. Harry tells you
to handle the wife. Harry then explains the concept of the safety switch.
Go up to the wife, and she'll... explain her robo, a Metal Ape. You've seen
one before. One of the burglars had it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Woman
Opponent Data:
BODY: Metal Ape
GUN: Blade
BOMB: Straight T
POD: Feint F
LEGS: Long Thrust
Holosseum: Magma Hole
Battle Spoils: Vertical Gun
You've encountered all of these parts but the Blade Gun. The Blade gun simply
shoots one blade-like projectile at a time. Not that strong and easy to dodge.
This is a new holosseum, though. If you step in the octagon in the middle, it
will sink and a red zone will appear. Step in the red zone and you will be
hurt... badly.
Keep running around the perimeter and shooting, and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERTICAL GUN
The Vertical Gun fires four rounds. Two go straight, and the others move in
and arc. If shot from the right distance, the last two rounds will go over
a wall. I don't use this gun much, but it can really annoy your opponent if
you use it correctly.

After defeating Walt's wife, they make up... and turn against you! Harry
explains the rules of a 2-on-2 battle, which you're about to partake in. Watch
the arrows. If you see a red one, run. Someone's aiming at you. Press Y to
switch targets. Your gun can't hurt Harry, but your bombs and pods still can,
so watch out.

2-ON-2 BATTLE
Hero and Harry vs. Woman and Walt
Partner Data:
BODY: Glory
GUN: Vertical
BOMB: Crescent P
POD: Cockroach H
LEGS: Standard
Opponent1 Data: Opponent2 Data:
BODY: Metal Ape BODY: Dour Head
GUN: Blade GUN: Left 5-Way
BOMB: Gemini P BOMB: Dual
POD: Wave POD: Diving
LEGS: Long Thrust LEGS: High Jump
Holosseum: Basic Arena
Battle Spoils: Metal Ape, Spider Pod
Your first 2-on-2 battle... ok. Carmen changed her bomb and pod. Gemini...
nothing new. The Wave bomb is interesting. When it lands, explosions erupt,
moving in the direction the bomb was shot. The bomb is named by how the
explosions occur... in a wave. Walt has a Dour Head. It is extremely good
defensively, and it is maneuverable in the air because of its continuous jumps
(double jumps, basically). The Left 5-Way Gun fires rounds straight, and four
columns of rounds to the areas left of that. The Dual bomb fires two bombs,
and the Diving Pod comes out of the sky. As the name implies, the High Jump
Legs allow the Dour Head to jump extra high. Watch out, because his gun is
deadly.
Just keep behind cover and keep shooting, and you'll do fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
METAL APE
The Metal Ape is stronger defensively than any robo you've earned so far, but
to balance it out, it is also slower than any robo you've earned so far. It
is also relatively strong offensively. As Carmen explained, it is good for
all-out offensives, so you don't need to hide behind cover as much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPIDER POD
The Spider Pod is similar to the Cockroach. It moves very slowly until the
opponent is near. Then, it slams into them and explodes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, Marcia comes to check on you. Perfect timing... She takes
the note from Carmen, and when she comments on the "cute" handwriting, here
comes Harry. He recognizes it, and takes it. Marcia goes over to the kids,
and Harry explains Marcia's background. Apparently, she was shy as a child
because of a strange power. Her brother was her only friend, and her parents
had died. One day, her brother left, so she was all alone. Sad story...

After the three of you leave, Ernest calls you and tells you to go to Bogey's
Cafe. Apparently, there's some criminal named Marv there. Also, Ernest is
looking right at him. Err... ok... The three of you head over to Bogey's, but
Dark Blue, another bounty hunter group, has already nabbed the guy. Bogey
explains that he called them because Ernest was... writing poetry. It is also
revealed that your character applied to Dark Blue but didn't make it. Evil,
their leader, taunts you and walks out laughing. "Great, we get to report back
to our stupid chief that we lost a reward because of our stupid chief!"
Back at the office, Ernest yells at the employees for not nabbing Marv, when
they reveal that they know about his poetry. Cornered, Ernest retreats and
excuses you.

DAY FIVE: DON AND BOGEY
Rrrriiinnnggg!
The hero wakes up to a phone call from Harry. He tells you to go to the
Daimon Chinese Restaurant. Go to the parts generator, if you haven't already,
and then go.
When you arrive, you see Dendai Don, the owner in a panic, and you see the
Steel Hearts crew. Look down, and you'll see a dead man. According to Ernest,
mental shock from a robo battle must have killed him. But the opponent must
have been tremendously powerful to kill him.
Talk to the rest of the crew, and then Mira and Roy will arrive. There is an
encounter between Harry and Roy, but Ernest and Mira calm it down. According
to Mira, the victim fought an autonomous robo (doesn't need a commander).
Holy... The cops ask Marcia to half-dive into the man's robo cube to find his
last thoughts. Creepy. She starts to do it, and you can see she's under a LOT
of stress.
Apparently, the robo the man fought wasn't a robo... Whatever it was, it was
really powerful, like Ernest said. Marcia goes to Police Squad HQ with Mira
and Roy, and you go back to Steel Hearts HQ.
/---------\
|GAME SAVE|
\---------/
Apparently, Marcia was at the Police Squad HQ for a little longer than they
would have hoped. Harry starts to explain Marcia's condition. She can half-
dive, which is kinda cool, but it really makes her shy. Ernest cuts him off
with a threat. He gets a call from Bogey. Apparently, some guy is making a
LOT of money from battle wagers. Wait a minute... didn't that cop at the gym
say those were illegal? Head over there anyway.
Walk in, and you hear Evil. He suggests fighting for the job. A 2-on-2.
Could get interesting.

Data, there are conveyor belts. Use those to your advantage by moving with it,
not against it. Oh, and new parts as well. Evil's Juggler is the Speed form
of the Criminal, so it's a bit faster, but it's weaker defensively. The Right
Pulse Gun is rapid-fire, but it curves right (left from the air). The Left
Flank Bomb H arcs left, and besides that, nothing new on Evil. His Lackey is
using a Metal Ox, the Speed form of the Metal Ape. His bomb moves slowly
forward, but the explosion lingers, and besides that, nothing new.
For a simple strategy, aim to knock down whichever of the two is aiming at you.
If neither are (or if both are), go for the one with the fewer HP. Careful,
if Harry dies, they'll both be coming at you, so try to kill one of them
quickly just in case.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT FLANK BOMB H
The Left Flank Bomb H fires and curves left. When fired from the air, it
reverses. When it hits, the target is blasted slowly to the side.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEINT POD F
The Feint Pod F is launched and explodes next to your opponent. Good for
blocking paths if used right. If it does hit, though, the victim is blasted
sideways.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, Bogey tells you to go to the back room through a hidden door. When you
go through, Harry tells you to talk to everyone. They all complain about how
Shiner keeps winning. Strange, though, he isn't in the room. When you've
talked to everyone, go up to the waiter, and he'll put your names in. After he
does, talk to him again to start the matches. The first match will be against
Paulie, a member of the police squad. Beware... he has a Strike Vanisher
model. Harry explains their stealth capabilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Paulie
Opponent Data:
BODY: Javelin
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Straight S
POD: Satellite
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Diamond Cell
Battle Spoils: Javelin
Look out. This guy can dodge your shots really easily. And he can come up to
you really quickly too, so watch out. The 3-Way Gun is really useful here
because it covers such a wide range. Watch out for the magma zones, and you
should be fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JAVELIN
The Javelin is similar to the Ray 01, but, as Harry explained, it has a stealth
function. When you air-dash, you disappear for a split-second, allowing you to
dodge shots. I recommend at least trying it out.

Talk to the waiter again to start your match with Walt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Walt
Opponent Data:
BODY: Dour Head
GUN: Right 5-Way
BOMB: Crescent P
POD: Feint G
LEGS: Standard
Holosseum: Ice and Snow
Battle Spoils: Left 5-Way Gun
Ice and Snow... on the ground you slide more than you normally would, so try
making an air game. You've encountered almost all of Walt's parts. Last time,
he used a Left 5-Way, but now, he's using a Right 5-Way, which is just the
opposite. It covers a wide area, so try using the Javelin to dodge the shots.
This is an interesting battle. Running and jumping toward each other lands you
way past each other, so it's almost impossible to land right next to him. Just
keep shooting from behind cover, and you should make it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT 5-WAY GUN
The Left 5-Way Gun fires rounds that cover a 90 degree arc, from straight
ahead of you to 90 degrees to the left of you. From the air, 90 degrees to the
right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk to the waiter again to start the semifinals... against Harry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Harry
Opponent Data:
BODY: Glory
GUN: Vertical
BOMB: Standard S
POD: Cockroach H
LEGS: Short Thrust
Holosseum: Checkmate Foundry
Battle Spoils: Caboose Pod C
Harry's parts are all parts you've encountered, so there'll be no surprises.
However, this is the first time the Vertical Gun is being used against you.
Keep on the run, because the damage will add up. You would think this battle
would be harder, but it isn't. It's pretty easy. Just use what you've learned
and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CABOOSE POD C
Unlike other pods, the Caboose Pod C fires in the opposite direction that you
are facing. If you hold the Control Stick right, it will go left, etc. Good
for running away from a robo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the parts generator, because you're about to go onto the finals, where
you'll face Shiner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Shiner
Opponent Data:
BODY: Breaker
GUN: Flame
BOMB: Straight G
POD: Caboose X
LEGS: Long Thrust
Holosseum: Crevice Court
Battle Spoils: Flame Gun
Finally! Something new. The Breaker has an extremely long air-dash, and
Shiner takes advantage of this. Stay away from him, as he will fly up to you
and shoot you with the Flame Gun, which does a lot of damage. It has low
defense though, so shoot him if he gets up close. If you use the Javelin, you
can get away more easily by air-dashing. Keep shooting him, and he will fall.
Careful, though, of his pod. If it hits, you could be blown all the way across
the holosseum. No joke. So be cautious of where everything is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLAME GUN
The Flame Gun shoots fire, as the name implies. It does accumulative damage,
which adds up fairly quickly. As used in this battle, the Flame Gun works
well with a Lighting Sky or a Little Raider.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the battle, Shiner says his work is done. Err... what work? Harry sees
a "Z" on Shiner's collar, and realizes he works for the Z Syndicate, an evil
organization that plans to do something with a custom robo. Besides that, no
one knows much about them. Harry asks if this guy's from Z, and he says, "I-I
don't know nothing." Right... Suddenly the lights go dark for a few seconds.
When the light comes back on, Shiner is gone, and Marcia walks in. The waiter
closes the gambling pit, and the blue-haired man runs into Marcia on his way
out. After that, Marcia gets more shy than she usually is. Hmmm... I wonder
why. Suddenly, she runs out of the room, much to the surprise of Harry and the
main character. After this is all over, the day is done.

DAY SIX: TOURNAMENT AT THE GYM
Lucy wakes you up today, and you go through the usual routine. Change, walk
out of the house, forced conversation with Lucy... the whole bit. Go to work,
and you see that Marcia is still all "clam-like." Ernest comes in and tells
you that you're entered in the battle tournament. Great...
The game takes over and takes you to the gym. When you get there, Harry tells
you that he'll win first, Marcia second, and you third. You're kidding, right?
Harry tells you to talk to everybody. They talk to you about the graphs on
the Customize Robo screen. After you chat up everyone, Sophie starts the
competition.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Will
Opponent Data:
BODY: Seal Head
GUN: 3-Way
BOMB: Standard F
POD: Seeker F
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: Little Locomotive
Battle Spoils: Twin Flank Pod G
In Will's holosseum, Little Locomotive, a little train moves around the peri-
meter. Use this to block shots and to use the "jump-and-shoot" strategy.
Be careful because Will has a 3-Way Gun, which, as you know, is pretty
powerful. He also has a Seeker F pod, which homes in on the opponent. It's
relatively slow, but be careful. If you don't like hiding behind the train,
you can get up close to him and use the Flame Gun that you got recently. That
sucker can do some damage, and, despite the Seal Head's defense, it should do
quite a bit of damage. If you choose that strategy, the battle will be much
harder, because his gun has longer range. No matter which combination you use,
don't underestimate this kid. With the 3-Way Gun, he can do damage. Believe
me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWIN FLANK POD G
The Twin Flank Pod G fires a pod to your left and to your right. When they
hit the opponent, the opponent is blown upward. This pod is good for going
around walls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next battle is against Dendai Don, the owner of Daimon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Don
Opponent Data:
BODY: Shrike
GUN: Drill
BOMB: Straight G
POD: Twin Flank F
LEGS: High Jump
Holosseum: Chinese Bowl
Battle Spoils: High Jump Legs
Okay... this holosseum is different than any other you've been in before. You
are used to flat holosseums, but this one is rounded, with platforms along the
top edges. Beware of the Shrike. It's a more armored form of the Peregrine,
but it is just about as fast. Also, the Drill Gun can be deadly. If one round
hits, the others will hit you, guaranteed. I recommend using the 3-Way Gun,
so you can hit him from afar. Because the Shrike is a Little Raider, one hit
will down it.
Here's a strategy that will win you this battle. Run around the perimeter, but
stay off the platforms. When he gets too close, fire at him. He'll be knocked
down, allowing you to get farther away. Don't try to charge him, because he'll
knock you down with his gun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIGH JUMPS LEGS
The High Jump Legs increase the height of your jump, allowing more air-dashes
and attacking. These legs work best with robos with continuous jumps, like the
Seal Head and Shrike.

Your next opponent is Mary, the girl who called you from Hub Park four days

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Mary
Opponent Data:
BODY: Earth
GUN: Vertical
BOMB: Gemini P
POD: Ground Freeze
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: Flower Garden
Battle Spoils: Earth
The Earth has a continuous jump, as Harry explained, but it won't stay up long
because of its Quick Jump Legs. You've encountered the gun and bomb before,
but you haven't gone up against a Ground Freeze Pod. If it hits you, you will
be stunned for a little while, free to be blasted by your opponent. Keep
moving, and you will eventually win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EARTH
The Earth has relatively low defense, but if moves quickly and plays a great
air game because of its continuous jumps.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the semifinals, Harry loses to Marcia, and you have to fight Evil.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Evil
Opponent Data:
BODY: Juggler
GUN: Right Pulse
BOMB: Burrow D
POD: Dolphin G
LEGS: Short Thrust
Holosseum: Diamond Fences
Battle Spoils: Gatling Gun
Remember, when Evil fires his gun from the ground, it arcs to the right, but
the other way around from the air, so be careful where you are relative to
him. I recommend the Javelin with the 3-Way. With the Javelin, you can
quickly get away from Evil and shoot him with a wide-range weapon. The Right
Pulse gun doesn't have much range, so if you're too far for the gun to reach,
you're safer. Evil is pretty easy to beat, compared to your next battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GATLING GUN
I bet you're thinking "Finally!" Well, the Gatling Gun fires eight rounds.
The farther the foe, the lower the accuracy, but the stronger the rounds. Here
you have a dilemma. The 3-Way Gun has more powerful rounds with a wider range,
but the Gatling Gun is more rapid-fire. In the end, it's your choice for which
gun to use, but as for me, I'll stick with the 3-Way.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the finals, you'll fight Marcia for the first time...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Marcia
Opponent Data:
BODY: Milky Way
GUN: Homing Star
BOMB: Wave
POD: Spider
LEGS: Booster
Holosseum: L Formation
Battle Spoils: Booster Legs
Holy... Marcia has an impressive setup. The Milky Way has low defense, but it
can do a continuous jump. The Homing Star gun is your main fear because if she
fires it from the air, rounds come at you in a horizontal pattern. If they
hit, they do monster damage to your robo. This will be atough battle. The
Wave Bomb sends explosions in waves in the direction the bomb was launched.
The Spider Pod moves slowly until it spots its foe, and the Booster Legs
increase dash speed (which doesn't do a thing for Marcia). Get your best
parts, and get ready to rumble.
Hiding behind walls won't be as effective because the Wave's explosions will
go through walls, so KEEP MOVING. Take advantage of her low defense and knock
her down before she can do anything. Use a long-range gun like the 3-Way or
the Gatling instead of the Flame, which is only short-range. If you can dodge
the wrath of the Homing Star Gun, you will win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOSTER LEGS
I know what you're thinking. Yes, I wanted the Homing Star Gun too, but you're
stuck with the Booster Legs. When you air-dash, it starts out slow but quickly
increases its speed.

After you beat Marcia, she congratulates you and you win the tournament. When
Sophoie asks you how you feel about your victory, you can select any choice.
Personally, I prefer the second one because of the hero just "getting it out of
the way." No matter what you choose, the character promotes Steel Hearts.
Whoa... awkward silence. The day is done now.

DAY SEVEN: GUARD DUTY AT THE LAB
Ernest gives you a call, telling you to meet Harry and Marcia at the lab.
Head over there to see what's going on. Apparently, since the burglary almost
a week ago, there has been suspicious activity going on. Both Steel Hearts and
Dark Blue have been called for guard duty. Or rather... Steel Hearts and just
Evil. Apparently, dark figures have been spotted, and the security devices are
trashed. Linda and Marcia go to have a talk, and you and Harry go interrogate
the Lab Techs. Talk to everybody, including Evil, Harry, Marcia, and Linda.
The Lab Techs give you info, but nothing big. When you're done, go back to
Harry, and the three of you meet in the reception room. You all come to the
conclusion that it's an inside job, and Harry suggests searching the lab after
dark.
When it gets dark, go to the Presentation Room and look at either the button or
the door, both in the top-left corner. When you do so, you'll hear glass
break and Harry yelling for you to go to the reception room. When you get
there, Evil will say that he saw a cloaked figure and that he scared him away.
Yeah... then he says to search the room in case there's a bomb. Search a few
things, and then talk to Marcia. She will ask why there would be a bomb, and
Evil says, "You can never be too sure." Harry suggests that you check the
other rooms. The four of you walk out to find the lab a mess. Go to the
Presentation Room to find someone in there. Talk to them, and you'll see that
they're a Z Lackey. So it's the Z Syndicate!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:
BODY: Glaive
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Right Flank H
POD: Throwing D
LEGS: Stabilizer
Holosseum: High-Rise Plaza
Battle Spoils: Throwing Pod D
This guy has a Glaive, which is the defense form of the Javelin. I suggest
using the Javelin so you can also use the stealth skill. Use the 3-Way because
of its range. With the range that it has, it has more of a chance of hitting
him than the Gatling.
Don't stay hiding behind a wall in this battle, because the Glaive can air-dash
right around it really quickly because of its three air-dashes. Remember, if
you use the Javelin, you could have three air-dashes too. Keep air-dashing and
shooting, and eventually, you will triumph.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THROWING POD D
No, no. I don't recommend these. They go up, and down, move a little bit, and
explode. There isn't enough time for it to move toward an oppoent, so it's
easily dodgable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run out of the Presentation Room, and you'll meet another Z Lackey.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:
BODY: Criminal
GUN: Vertical
BOMB: Double Mine
POD: Seeker F
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: Crevice Court
Battle Spoils: Double Mine Bomb
Hmm... first encounter with the Double Mine Bomb. Watch out. Unlike most
bombs, these fire straight and stick to whatever surface they touch (except
you). If you step on it, it explodes. They glow, though, so you'll be able
to see them. Don't get trapped between them, though. Besides that, you should
recognize the other parts from previous battles.
As usual, watch out for the Verticl, and use the cover to your advantage. This
battle is a little harder than what you're used to, but you should still win.
What this guy likes to do is get up close, put a mine to either side of you and
shoot you. When you're knocked down, the bombs will eventually explode,
hurting you. Be careful of this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOUBLE MINE BOMB
Ah, yes. This bomb is excellent if used correctly. As the Advisory says,
surround your foe with these mines, and you should do damage. If the foe
doesn't see them, ouch for them! Test it out in the Training to get used to it
if you want to try it.

Opponent Data:
BODY: Glaive
GUN: Shotgun
BOMB: Straight T
POD: Speed D
LEGS: Long Thrust
Holosseum: Ice and Snow
Battle Spoils: Straight Bomb T
Stay away from this one! The Shotgun's a nasty gun. It's extremely short-
range, but when it hits, it automatically knocks you down. Use the Javelin
with a long-range gun like the 3-Way or Gatling to keep him away from you.
Also, if you're using the Double Mine Bomb, lay them all around so the foe
might slide into one. Careful though, as this can backfire. If you do it
right, it will work perfectly.
If you stay away and keep using a long-range gun and the Double Mine Bomb,
you will win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRAIGHT BOMB T
The Straight Bomb T goes straight in the direction you fired it. When it hits,
the opponent is thrown slightly toward you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Long live Eliza!!" Okay... run out of the reception room and outside the lab
into the lobby. There, you'll see that Marcia lost to one of the Z Members.
Avenge her.

1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Woman
Opponent Data:
BODY: Athena /!\
GUN: Waxing Arc /!\
BOMB: Right Wave
POD: Dolphin
LEGS: High Jump
Holosseum: Panic Cubes
Battle Spoils: N/A
Your first encounter with illegal parts... The Athena is an upgraded version of
an Aerial Beauty, so it's basically Marcia's robo on steroids. It has more
jumps and aerial movement. The Waxing Arc gun fires four rounds that start
left and curve toward you. The opposite when fired from the air. The Right
Wave Bomb is like the Wave, but it curves right before coming toward you. Get
ready for a tough fight.
I recommend using the Gatling Gun. KEEP MOVING, because the holosseum shifts.
Platforms rise and fall, giving you and her various amounts of cover, ranging
from none to a lot. Wait for her to be vulnerable, get relatively close, and
shoot. Remember to keep moving, and get away from her when she's knocked down
so you can avoid her shots during Rebirth. This battle may have been tough,
but believe me, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, Harry comes out from his battle with a Z Lackey. He brought
one of their robo cubes, and Marcia half-dives. She finds out that Z's boss
died, and they've split up. A dispute among the groups. They were looking in
the lab for... something.
DAY EIGHT: SLEEPY-TIME
In the morning, when Linda comes back, the Steel Hearts crew ask Linda what
they could be after. She found that the desks have been tampered with. Oops.
Linda says that this should be reported to the police squad. Linda thanks you,
and you can go home and rest for the day. Work tomorrow, though!

DAY NINE: FIRST ENCOUNTER
You get a call from Ernest telling you to go to Bogey's. Apparently, some
strange robo is tearing up the place. Err... aren't robos supposed to be cubes
in the real world? You better check it out.
When you get there, Marcia suggests it's an autonomous robo. Go in the back to
see it all messed up. And you something shooting everywhere. Freaky-looking.
Marcia says it's the robo she saw at Daimon, and Harry tells you to fight it.
Why? Because if he or Marcia fights it, they could end up in their holosseum.
Harry wants to know about its holosseum. Perfect teamwork... Go up to it,
and brace yourself. Remember Harry's tip about using the gun, bomb, and pod
in coordination.

Opponent Data:
BODY: Rahu I /!\
GUN: Rahu I /!\
BOMB: Grand Cross /!\
POD: Prenumbra I /!\
LEGS: Ultimate
Holosseum: Nature Park
Battle Spoils: N/A
Whoa... this holosseum looks natural! Oh, well. STAY AWAY FROM THIS THING AT
ALL COSTS! However, remember that while you're staying away from it, try to
dodge its pods as well. Those can hurt. They behave in the same way as the
Seeker F pods. And Rahu I is a Lightning Sky on way too much steroids. I
recommend the Gatling Gun, because if you unleash all the rounds on it, it'll
be knocked down. Keep moving as fast as you can so you're not in range of its
gun (1000 to 844 with one shot against the Javelin). Its gun shoots green
arrows, whichi diverge in an explosion-type thing. Its bomb fires four bombs,
which cause large explosions, and its legs increase its stats greatly.
Use the Javelin so you can stealth-dash away from it. Use all three dashes
for full effect. Whatever you do, don't try to charge it. It'll knock you
down before you can say "Custom Robo." With the 3-Way Gun, you can wait until
its relatively close (not close enough to shoot you), and knock him down with
the gun. Keep doing this, and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the thing will fall to the ground.

After the game saves, Harry will ask you about its holosseum. It's pretty.

The latter says that Shiner filled everyone with greed, envy, and hatred, which

But... Marcia doesn't want to. Oh well. You fight the blue-haired guy, and
Harry goes after Oboro.

Hero vs. Man
Opponent Data:
BODY: Ruhiel /!\
GUN: Raptor /!\
BOMB: Standard
POD: Spider G
LEGS: Booster
Holosseum: L Formation
Battle Spoils: N/A
The Ruhiel (illegal) is an amped-up Lightning Sky, so be careful. Also, watch
out for his gun. It fires two rounds from the ground, and two rounds that
pause at first from the sky. You'll have to move quickly to avoid him. The
Javelin should work. Air-dash just as the rounds come so you can avoid them.
The timing must be flawless because the rounds are really fast. Use the 3-Way
because it has better range and accuracy. If places correctly, the Double
Mines can do damage. Keep moving and avoiding his artillery, and you should
win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the creature flies away. Then, the Z members leave. You
and Harry talk about their skill, and the hero suggests that the blue-haired
man's holosseum was just like Marcia's. Then the two of you round on Marcia.
In the middle of you talking, Mira and Linda arrive. They talk about some
weird mumbo-jumbo they can't tell you about, and then leave. Then, Harry says
work's done for the day.

DAY TEN: TOURNAMENT AT POLICE SQUAD HQ
Hey, you got up on your own! Oh, whatever. When you get to work, Ernest says
that you're invited to a tournament at Police Squad HQ. Harry protests, but
apparently, Mira called Ernest urging the crew to come. Oh, ok. Harry leads
you and Marcia to Police Squad HQ in the southeast part of town. When you get
there, turn left and go through the Training Room door. When you get there,
the chief makes a speech about unity between police squad members and bounty
hunters. Blah blah blah.
Marcia says she can't fight, so you and Harry join the 2-on-2 division. Before
it starts, though, talk to everyone in the room. Yes, everyone. Don't forget
the nameless people near the walls. When you do, Sophie starts the 2-on-2

Battle Spoils: Seal Head, Umbrella Pod
Target Wendy first, because the Swift goes down in one hit. I don't recommend
using the Double Mine B Bomb because Harry could run into it, and that would
not be good. Remember to use the train to your advantage, especially if Will
is firing at you. You've seen the range the 3-Way has, so you should try to
figure out how to counter it. If they both target either one of you, knock
them down as quickly as possible. If they kill Harry first, it will be a
1-on-2 against you. Not good. And if they kill you first, game over.
Use either the 3-Way or the Gatling because of their range, so you don't have
to get too close to either of them. All-in-all, not a hard match.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEAL HEAD
The Seal Head is slow, but it can easily dodge attacks in mid-air with two
continuous jumps. Its defense is good, which you should have seen in your
battles against Will.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UMBRELLA POD
The Umbrella Pods are designed to attack foes who have a good air game. They
explode in mid-air and don't hit ground targets.

Harry's tip will come in handy for this battle. When one of them fires at you,
move in a circle around him to avoid it. Try to knock them down as quickly as
possible. Two are hard enough to handle, so focus on one first. However, if
the other comes after you, get ready to dodge some shots. When it's down to
one, when he's focusing on Harry, charge him. If you are careful about where
everyone is, you'll do fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRESCENT BOMB P
The Crescent Bomb P moves in a slow arc toward its target, but when it lands,
the explosion grows and lingers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRIO POD H
This pod releases three pods at once. This pod is extremely short-range
because the pods explode about a second after being released, if even that.

Watch out for both of these guys. You know how annoying the Vertical Gun can
be; combine that with how quickly the Javelin can get up close to you. The
Defender's long air-dash is bad enough, but it can freeze you with its bomb or
pod and then hurt you pretty badly with the Drill Gun. And its air-dash is
even faster now with the Booster legs.
The Javelin is easy to beat, but the Defender can put up a fight. Don't try
to get close to him or he will tear you to pieces with his gun. Fire from a
distance, and you'll be fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT FLANK BOMB H
The Right Flank Bomb H goes right and arcs left. Vice versa from the air.
When it hits a target, it is slowly blasted to the side.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT THRUST LEGS
The Short Thrust Legs decrease the length of an air-dash. I personally don't
care for them, but you can try them out.

This battle should be pretty easy. You're familiar with all of these parts and

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT 5-WAY GUN
The Right 5-Way Gun fires five columns of shots that range from straight ahead
to 9 degrees to the right. When fired from the air, it goes the other way.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIDE JUMP LEGS
The Wide Jumps Legs increase the distance of a robo's glide, or how far it can
jump without air-dashing. It is good for robos with continuous jumps.

LEGS: Stabilizer LEGS: Feather
Holosseum: Crevice Court
Battle Spoils: Swift, Satellite Pod
You know about the Peregrine's weakness: it is knocked out with one hit, but
its speed more than makes up for it. And look out for its gun. The Stun Gun
is extremely short-range, but if you use it over and over again on the foe, you
can do heavy damage. Take him out first. Bogey isn't much to worry about.
Focus on the Peregrine and leave Harry to beat Bogey up for a while. Bogey's
gun, the Bubble Gun, fires slow bubbles that are big, conspicuous, and easy to
avoid, so it's not that bad.
Harry only has a Shotgun, which, like the Stun, is short-range, so he'll be
defeated rather quickly. Get rid of the Peregrine ASAP so it's a 1-on-1 bet-
ween you and Bogey instead of a 2-on-1 against you, like what happened the
first time I did this match.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWIFT
The Swift is a Little Raider. It has one of the worst defenses in the game,
and it has a half-decent attack, but its speed is excellent. Like the
Peregrine, it also goes down in one hit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SATELLITE POD
The Satellite Pod is pretty good. It moves around a small area and strikes
when a foe gets near.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, you won the preliminaries! Congrats! Just a few more matches left!

LEGS: Stabilizer LEGS: Short Thrust
Holosseum: High-Rise Cell
Battle Spoils: Bubble Gun, Wall Bomb
Here's an overview of Mira's parts. The Sol is the Speed form of the Milky
Way, so it should go down pretty easily. The Ion Gun fires shots that arc left
and right. The Delta fires three small bombs that explode around the target.
The pod and legs are nothing new.
Roy has a Halberd. It's the Speed form of the Javelin, and in many people's
opinions, the best of the three legal Strike Vanishers. The Magnum is medium
range, and it will probably knock you down if it hits you. The Geo Trap Bomb
is relatively quick, and it has a decent explosion. Besides that, you should
be familiar with the others.
Keep moving, and just use what skills you have. This match is harder than
others, but if you use basic strategy (slide shots, dodge the magma zones,
etc.), you'll win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUBBLE GUN
The Bubble Gun fires big bubble-like things that are big and slow. However, if
they keep hitting the foe, the damage adds up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WALL BOMB
The Wall Bomb is short-medium range, but the explosion is large and damaging.
I recommend this bomb, definitely.

After the match, talk to Harry. He tells you to check up on Marcia and see how
she's doing. She says her usual "I want to be alone", so you and Harry see her
together. Harry, being his usual self, forces Marcia to be your partner by
saying he has a stomachache. Idiot... Oh well, go to the holosseum deck in
the middle of the room to see Evil and his lackey on the other side. Marcia
says she can't fight, so Evil tells his lackey to take a break. It's 1-on-1
time. It's finally time to show this... person who's the amateur.

Hmm... familiar foe, familiar holosseum. Should be easy. Just look out for
his gun and you'll be fine. After all that bragging, Evil's not all he's
cracked up to be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEFT PULSE GUN
The Left Pulse Gun fires eight rounds that fire left and arc to the right. It's
just the opposite from the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being Evil, he tells his lackey that he lost to give you self-confidence. I
really hate that guy. It's time for the finals! Against... Ernest and Linda?!
Marcia, as usual, says she can't do it, so you and Ernest start a battle, while
Harry talks to Marcia. He hears, "My brother...", and he realizes it's been
about her brother all this time. "You dummy!!" and Marcia finally realizes...
her brother told her there would be someone who understood her, and she never
realized she's been with her true friends this whole time... the hero and
Harry... She snaps out of her shyness and enters the battle.

Battle Spoils: Right Pulse Gun, Acrobat Bomb
After all those times he's yelled at you, you finally get to beat him up...
Okay... new parts. Ernest has the Sniper Gun, which fires a quick shot
straight ahead. Watch out for this. The Acrobat Bomb fires at the ground, and
blasts Ernest into the air. It doesn't hurt him health-wise, but his DWN meter
decreases, making knocking him down easier. Linda has the Seeker, the defense
form of the Defender. The Hornet Gun fires five hornet-like things that home
in on the foe. Jump over them or get out of the way. With the Homing Star Gun
on your side now, this should be a breeze.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT PULSE GUN
Eight rounds fire right and arc left. Just the opposite from the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACROBAT BOMB
A bomb fires down at your feet, blasting you up into the air. Your health
stays intact, but your DWN meter goes down. Automatically knocks down Little
Raiders. Not recommended.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the match, Ernest says something... nice. "Maybe now, you can break down
that wall you've built around your heart." Apparently, Ernest and Linda both
graduated from a Takuma University. Apparently, only the best of the best
graduate from there. Mira invites you and Marcia to a celebration party at her
house, while Linda and Ernest have a consolation party.

|GAME SAVE|
\---------/
Time for Mira's party. Go over there and have some fun. Or just listen to a
conversation. When Marcia asks about the robo at Bogey's, Mira avoids the
question. Suspicious... Mira asks about your watch. If you select "Do you
like it?", and keep insisting to let her take it, you'll eventually give Mira
your watch. I don't recommend doing this. It'll just waste a lot of time
later. After that, the hero explains all he knows about his father, and Harry
makes a connection between your father and Marcia's brother. Yawn... time to
go.

DAY ELEVEN: THE TRUTH
Why is today called the truth? You'll learn the truth about it later. Heheh.
Go to work, and Ernest will congratulate you and Marcia for beating him. And
then... Ernest says the police invited you three to a practice round. Great...
Well, head over to Police Squad HQ. Go to the training room and talk to the
chief. He'll explain that they have a plan, which you'll learn after your
matches. After Harry and Marcia win their matches, it's your turn.

Watch out. When the Needle is fired from the air, it hurts because all three
of the rounds will hit if you don't dodge the shot. Besides that, do what you
normally would do against a Lightning Sky. It's not that hard...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRAIGHT BOMB G
The Straight Bomb G fires straight, and when it hits the foe, the target is
blasted upward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next battle is against another regular police squad member.

Hero vs. Police
Opponent Data:
BODY: Javelin
GUN: Afterburner
BOMB: Submarine P
POD: Trio H
LEGS: Short Thrust
Holosseum: Diamond Cell
Battle Spoils: Submarine Bomb K
Watch out for the Afterburner. The shots start out slow but increase in speed
really quickly. Depending on where the foe was when he shot at you, when the
round hits you, you'll be blasted away from him or pulled toward him. Could
be dangerous if you're near magma. Use the Javelin yourself to avoid being hit
by this gun. Besides this, just do your best, and you'll win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMARINE BOMB K
The Submarine Bomb K is a slower version of the Straight Bomb. If it hits, the
foe is automatically knocked down. I guess it makes up for the lack of speed.

Hero vs. Roy
Opponent Data:
BODY: Halberd
GUN: Magnum
BOMB: Straight T
POD: Double Wave
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: High-Rise Cell
Battle Spoils: Wave Pod
Finally, a 1-on-1 with an elite police squad member. The Halberd is the best
of the three legal Strike Vanishers, so watch out. I recommend using the
Javelin, because the stealth function allows you to stay away from him. If
you're hit by the Magnum, it will hurt. Big-time. The main strategy here is
to stay away from him and keep hitting him. If he does get close, blast him
quickly to get a system overload, as Harry explained. It ends up looking
really cool, seeing two Strike Vanishers air-dashing all over the place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAVE POD
The Wave Pod is released, it moves, and it explodes in a wave, like the Wave
Bomb. Useful if used correctly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is Mira.

1-ON-1 BATTLE
Hero vs. Mira
Opponent Data:
BODY: Sol
GUN: Ion
BOMB: Delta
POD: Caboose C
LEGS: Stabilizer
Holosseum: High-Rise Cell
Battle Spoils: Float Pod F
All of these parts should be familiar to you, so there's nothing surprising
going on here. Keep moving, because Mira will send stuff all over the place.
Particularly, watch out for the Ion Gun and Delta Bomb, which will devastate
you if you're cornered. As I said, keep moving and shooting to drain her
health. Don't get too close, or she will hurt you badly. Quick reflexes are
needed for this battle, but this is nothing compared to what's coming up a few
matches from now...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLOAT POD F
The Float Pod F circles around the foe and then dives. The target is then
blasted sideways.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yay! You're done! Oh great, the chief wants to fight you now.

Hero vs. Chief
Opponent Data:
BODY: Metal Ox

LEGS: Ground
Holosseum: High-Rise Cell
Battle Spoils: Sword Storm Gun, Standard Pod F
Great... if you don't look out, you'll be flying everywhere. See those X's?
X = Explosion. His bombs and pods will blast you diagonally upward. Ouch.
And look out for the Rayfall Gun. With all those shots coming at you, you'll
need to dodge them pretty well. JAVELIN, JAVELIN, JAVELIN! Use speed against
his power. Brute force is fine and dandy, but it's nothing if he can't hit
you! Reminds me of Spider-man vs. Scorpion in comics...
As I said, take advantage of the Javelin's stealth function to dodge the Metal
Ox's blasts and blast him back. If you do that, this battle should be a
breeze...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWORD STORM GUN
The Sword Storm Gun fires a bunch of long, silver rounds into the air. After
about a second, the rounds all move toward the foe. The chances of them
hitting are low most of the time, so I don't use it much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD POD F
Just like the Standard Pod, except this one blasts the victim sideways.

HOLY... This thing again. Excuse me? Am I in the right room? Yes? Oh well.
In the beginning, try to get out before it does, and use the Javelin and 3-Way
Gun. The Javelin will help you get away from his gun (believe me, it works),
and the 3-Way Gun has excellent range and power. Once you win this battle,
it's all downhill from here. This is possibly the hardest battle in A New
Journey (next to the final boss).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASS-S LICENSE
A Class-S license is the highest license in the game. To get one, you must be
recommended by at least one Class-S commander. Class-S commanders are taught
about Rahu and the outside world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, go out and talk to the others. You will start to learn the
truth about this whole thing. The robo you fought was Rahu, a living being.
A living being that almost killed us all. What you fought was a simulation of
its behavior. Centuries ago, there was actually natural substance. Grass,
trees, etc. Not the plastic stuff like at Hub Park. After a while, Roy says
that maybe you should come back tomorrow. Good idea. That battle even left
the real me exhausted. Nighty-night.

DAY TWELVE: THE Z SYNDICATE TAKES RAHU
Oh, great! Rahu's back! He's back at Daimon! When you get there, you see
Evil battling Rahu. Talk to Harry and Marcia, and suddenly, Evil will win.
Marcia tells him to hand it over to the police squad, but... "Not a chance."
Evil plans to join the Z Syndicate by handing over Rahu. That... bad person.
Then, it is realized that it was Evil's minions that disabled the security
devices for Z. While you four were in the reception room, Z was looking for
something. Then, Eliza comes in. But she keeps saying that she has no
recollection of any of you, much to Evil's dismay. You volunteer to fight her
because you've already beaten her before.

Battle Spoils: N/A
You've fought and beaten Sergei before, so I'll introduce Oboro's parts. The
Rakansen in an upgrade of a Strike Vanisher. It has six air-dashes, so it'll
be going all over the place. The Wyrm Gun is very cheap. From the ground, it
fires four powerful dragon heads. From the air, it fires one powerful & large
one. Either way, you'll be knocked down. The Treble is a bigger and more
powerful Delta Bomb. The Cheetah is an upgraded Speed Pod P, and the Swallow
makes him run more quickly.
Take out Oboro first. He's more of a threat. Watch out for those Wyrm rounds,
and make sure Marcia's okay. If she's being pummeled, take out her attacker,
because if it becomes a 2-on-1 against you, you're pretty much a goner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite Marcia's pleading, Sergei and Oboro take Rahu. After a flash bomb,
they're gone. Go back to Police Squad HQ. You need to report this, and you
need to learn more about the past.
Roy is trying to find where Z's lair is. It's probably in the outside world.
The what? The world outside. Everyone knows the world's flat. At the end is
a wall that surrounds our world. Duh! The chief leads you to somewhere
important... the bathroom. There is a sensor that activates an elevator. Wow,
an elevator in a bathroom. You go down to a train station. You go in the
train, and Harry... touches Marcia. The chief lets it go, and the train
leaves. At the other end, the Steel Hearts crew follows the chief into a
hallway. Ooh, pretty. And... kinda freaky. At the end, you end up inside the
custom robo statue near Daimon. There shouldn't be anything on the other side,
but then a button is pressed, HOLY...! Ta da! The outside world! When you
turn around, you see a little dome. That's home.
Back in the chief's office...
Class-S officers are of the mentality "What the public don't know won't hurt
them." That is why nobody knows about the outside world. When the Steel
Hearts crew saw it, they felt uncomfortable. It's best that the populace is
kept happy. Ignorance is bliss.
Everybody is in danger now that Rahu is back. The police squad needs your
help. The police squad wants you! Haha. Go home and think about it.

DAY THIRTEEN: ATTACK ON Z'S LAIR
This is the end! The last part of A New Journey! You're almost there!
Head over to work. Something's wrong... Ernest didn't yell at you over the
phone. When you get there, Ernest says the chief of police called him. He
has a confidential job for you. It's good money, but he's against it. He
knows something dangerous is up. No matter what you think, he likes you three.
This puts Harry in Marcia in tears.
"You're dismissed! The rest is up to you!"
Head over to Police Squad HQ. Go to the chief's office. After you say you'll
go, head over to the elevator. Use the train to get to the wall. Once you get
to the outside world, Roy will lead you to Z's hideout. Once you're in, head
to the fork. Roy and Marcia will go right, while the rest of you head left.
Go through the door to find three Z Lackeys in a lounge. Go over and fight!

If you follow these instructions, you can win without a scratch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEEDLE GUN
The Needle Gun fires three rounds. One goes straight, and the other two go

Use the Javelin to keep away from him. Watch out for the mines he sends out
and his gun, which you've dealt with before. Use a longer-range gun like the
3-Way to keep him at bay. A few shots will knock him down. Keep air-dashing
away from him and shooting, and you should win with a Perfect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFENDER
The Defender is a Lightning Sky. It has one VERY long air-dash, and you can
attack while using it. Quite useful in large holosseums and/or against foes
with short-range guns.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the next room to find more Z Lackeys in a training room. Careful. These
guys are stonger than the ones in the lounge.

Keep shooting. Keep moving and trying to knock him down. It is almost imposs-

the magma also helps. Use a powerful gun like the 3-Way to beat him. I don't
recommend the Needle because the rounds probably won't him him because of the
walls. And if you jump to get a good shot, you'll fall victim to the Drill.

Not good. The Short Thrust Legs should keep you alive for this battle. Keep
moving around the conveyor belts and watch out for his gun.

SEEKER POD F
The Seeker Pod F has a very good homing ability. It is basically a weaker

Dang! These guys are harder than they look! Start with one of your most

Stay on the run and keep knocking them down to win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMARINE BOMB P
The Submarine Bomb P moves straight slowly, and its blast blasts your foe
straight up and leaves an explosion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOLPHIN POD
The Dolphin Pod arcs and then moves quickly across the holosseum. It works
great if aimed directly at the opponent in an open space.

Ok... the only unfamiliar part should be the Meteor Storm Gun, which fires tiny
rounds that do a lot of damage if most of them hit. Focus on the Criminal
first, because its Shotgun is lethal. Once he's dead, its all downhill.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
METEOR STORM GUN
The Meteor Storm Gun's rounds spread outward, and their power increases with
distance, so try to fire while you're medium distance from your foe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUMPING POD B
The Jumping Pod B explodes in the air above your foe. Good for preventing them
from jumping.

Go back down to the parts generator, then continue on your way. At the fork,
turn left, and Marcia will meet you. Keep going left.

You get to a door, and three Z Lackeys will come at you. Roy will fight them,

"Oboro!"
You will see Rahu in a container full of liquid, but it looks different. Oboro
says that the Z researchers are trying to change Rahu so people can dive into
it. WHAT THE... Oboro says he must kill Marcia, even though he's Sergei's
sister. "I understand." I can't believe this! Marcia also understands
something. Her memories of her brother cannot be erased, but she must not hold
back in the battle against Sergei and Oboro. Hero and Marcia vs. Sergei and

Oboro thinks Sergei's working for Eliza or he wants Rahu for himself. But
Sergei just meant to bring someone to help him. Rahu doesn't belong to anyone,
nor should it be tampered with. Oboro dives into Rahu... before its redesign

\---------/
Everybody goes into Z's late boss's room. Sergei says someone needs to hear
his leader's last words.
"Hero, you'll never know how proud I am that you have come so far. Hero, if
you're listening to this message, that means Rahu has returned, and our time is
short. I wish that I could have been there to see you, to fight with you in
this final, glorious moment... However, if you are hearing this, it also means
that my time has come, and I am gone from this world. I have given my loyal
friend Sergei, details on your mission. Trust him as you would have trusted
me. You do not have much time left. Give Sergei the watch I gave you to care
for so long ago. With the power contained in that watch, you can defeat Rahu.
I've failed you as a father in life, and my final wish in death is nothing but
a fool's errand. I'm sorry, Son."
After the message, Sergei explains. After getting his Class-S license, he
started to explore the outside world. There he saw the hero's father, living
there. He told him to come back when he found an inconsistency. That
inconsistency was Marcia. Marcia's half-dive ability was the inconsistency in
the perfect world of the dome. Then, the man told Sergei something most Class-
S commanders don't even know. We didn't always live in a dome. We used to
live free. Rahu took that from us. And, after Rahu was defeated, he was left
inoperative in the outside world.
/---------\
|GAME SAVE|
\---------/
At first, Rahu didn't have a form. Then, it possessed a custom robo (which
were toys back then), and people were able to see it. Rahu has two main
behaviors: acquire new targets, destroy them, take any abilities it doesn't
have, and evolve. The second is to destroy everything. When it possessed the
robo, we put it in its dormant cycle.
Isn't it odd, though... This is the most traumatic thing to happen to society,
and no one knows about it? What about the survivors? Their memories were
erased to give them a sense of security. A device was made to do this. Proof?
There is still one today. The hero's watch. Your character's father was a
scientist and a high-ranking government official. That is why he knew the
truth. He knew that Rahu would rise again, and he stole the memory-erasure
device. Marcia's half-dive is a side-effect of the erasure of her ancestors
all those years ago.
/---------\
|GAME SAVE|
\---------/
The hero's father escaped with the device. Then, he gave it to the hero as a
child in the dome. The Z Syndicate, assumed to be a criminal organization, was
originally made to tell people the truth so they would be prepared. Then, he
thought this would cause mass panic, so he formed a syndicate made up of the
world's strongest fighters. Sergei was his loyal friend, who would follow his
orders without question. The hero asks why he didn't tell Marcia, and he said
he was already going to leave so she could become more independent. When the
leader grew sick, Eliza and Oboro wanted power, and Z went downhill from there.
You give your watch to Sergei, and he puts the memory-erasure device in it.

You must go after Rahu! Run out of Z's Hideout, and Sergei will lead you to
the Amusement Park. When you get there, you are found by some Z members who

well. Beat 'em up.

As usual, fire at the Shrike first. The V Laser Gun fires two lasers in a V.
If he fires from the ground, stand still. If he fires from the air, air-dash.
Besides that, you should know the other parts.
This shouldn't be too hard. Like I said, knock down the Shrike quickly, but
don't hesitate to shoot the Tank Head if he's bothering you. Good luck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GEO TRAP BOMB
The Geo Trap Bomb is a decent bomb that moves quickly and has a lingering
explosion. Good for combos.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVING POD
After being released, the Diving Pod homes toward your opponent. I recommend
this pod.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Z Lackeys?!?!? Mira and Roy take care of them while you go on.

good idea would be the Flame Gun. It will knock either of them down with one
shot. Use either the Javelin or the Defender, and you should win.

Harry will go to the bathroom, and then you two will walk out to Marcia and

harder than most battles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTERBURNER GUN
When you fire the Afterburner Gun, the rounds move slowly and then really
quickly. When fired from the ground, the foe is pushed away from you. From
the air, the rounds pull your target toward you.

After the battle, walk up to the freaky clown face. Apparently, this was some
sort of fun house. Scary...

Walk in to find a maze. Sergei explains that this was supposed to get
people lost. The three of them go into the maze and turn right. You can
follow the same path, but I'm going to follow every battle in this place.
You'll only get all the parts I'll mention here if you win every battle. If
not, you'll get the parts in Grand Battle, which this FAQ doesn't cover. These
battles are in the order that I found the Z Lackeys. Not in any certain path
that you should cover. Maybe I should submit a map of the maze... oh well.
Remember... you don't have to fight every one of these people, but I suggest
that you do, because you can get some pretty good parts.

Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:
BODY: Earth
GUN: Gatling
BOMB: Geo Trap
POD: Double Wave
LEGS: Quick Jump
Holosseum: Panic Walls
Battle Spoils: Dragon Gun
Okay... the Panic Walls holosseum is similar to Eliza's Panic Cubes. The walls
change at intervals of twelve seconds. Be wary of where everything and
everyone is because your foe has the Gatling Gun, which can do major damage to
you if you're not careful. Also, she has a nasty habit of blasting you with
her bomb if you get too close, knocking both of you down. If she's going down,
she's taking you with her. Not a chance. I suggest a long-range gun like the
3-Way, Gatling, or Afterburner. Don't use a shorter-range like the Flame
(believe me, you'll get one too many tastes of Geo Trap). Remember, use the
walls to your advantage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRAGON GUN
Ah... yes. The Dragon Gun. If you're having trouble, this is the gun to use.
If not, well, use it anyway. It's cool. You can only fire one round at a
time, but the rounds are extremely powerful, and it will take very few hits to
knock them down. It brings the Training robo from 1000 to 880 in one shot!
It has decent homing abilities, and it sounds cool, too.

Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:
BODY: Metal Ox

Holosseum: Scramble Walls
Battle Spoils: Stabilizer Legs
Okay... the Splash Gun is one of those guns that you can spam. It's a pretty
cheap gun if you're close to your foe. And believe me, he will take full
advantage of it. And the holosseum you're in, Scramble Walls, has walls that
change around in an unpredictable pattern. Watch for when the wall you're
hiding behind suddenly drops into the ground.
I recommend using the Metal Ape, since he can take the abuse of the Splash Gun.
Use the Dragon Gun to just blast him. Stay away from him, and the Splash won't
get to you, enabling you to blast him with the Dragon Gun. It will take three
shots to down him. It's definitely a Metal Grappler... Be careful.

Oo... a Metal Bear. Equip the Metal Ape with the Dragon and either the Long
Thrust or Formula, depending on whether you prefer the air or the ground. Keep
moving and shooting, and make sure he doesn't get close enough to use the Stun
Gun. If he does, you'll learn the true meaning of "spamming a gun".

QUICK JUMP LEGS

You may want to stay with the same part setup you used against the last Z
Lackey. The Tank Head has decent defense, and you'll want to be out of range
of his Meteor Storm Gun. If he does manage to get you, blast him quickly.
This battle should be pretty easy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEEKER POD G
The Seeker Pod G is just a weaker form of Rahu's pods. They act in exactly the
same way.

Opponent Data:

Be careful. If you're using the Defender to fly around him or a robo with a
continuous jump to jump in a circle, the V Laser Gun will hit you. Fly toward
him. The aerial shot is a straight shot, but if you knock him down, it won't
hit you. There's less of a chance than if you fly around him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD BOMB K
The Standard Bomb K is just like the Standard Bomb, except that if the foe is
hit, he's instantly knocked down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:

You should use the Defender. He'll be running at you, but you'll already be
flying away. One shot should knock him down. One shot of the Dragon will
knock him down and then some. This match is easy, because he'll be constantly
by knocked down by his own bombs and pods.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRILL GUN
The Drill Gun fires a bunch of rapid-fire rounds. If one hits, the rest will
automatically hit. The thing is... you have to be pretty close to hit the
target.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hero vs. Z Lackey
Opponent Data:
BODY: Seal Head
GUN: Needle
BOMB: Smash
POD: Seeker G
LEGS: Stabilizer
Holosseum: Panic Walls
Battle Spoils: Freeze Bomb
Stay away from this one because of his gun and bomb. The Needle Gun, as you
know, is powerful, and the Smash Bomb makes a big explosion right above the
robo who used it. If you play an air game, this part will counter it. Using
all of his artillery, this robo can get some nice combos in. Remember the
Rebirth mode. While you're knocked down, she likes to get up close and just
blast you. When you get up, while you're in Rebirth, knock her down and get
away. Do this, and you should win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FREEZE BOMB
If the foe is hit by this bomb, they will be frozen for a few seconds, allowing
you to attack and/or get away.

The Sky Freeze Pod hangs around in the sky. If somebody hits it, they're stuck

If I have to fight one more Z Lackey... What? That's it?
Okay, that should do it! Get your parts from the parts generator at the
end of the maze, and head up to find Marcia, Sergei, and Harry. After a quick

Keep moving! Rahu III is extremely powerful, and even with all three of you,
it will take a lot to beat him. He cannot be knocked down. Even if you charge
him, he instantly goes into Rebirth. Harry and Marcia may lose quickly, so
keep blasting him. Use your best parts, but these are the parts I used:
Metal Ape
Dragon
Wave
Seeker G
Formula
The Metal Ape can take more hits than the Glory or Milky Way, so unless Rahu
constantly aims at you, you should last longer than them. Keep blasting him,
and keep moving. If it becomes a 1-on-1 and you don't have at least 300 more
HP than him, your chances of winning are almost nil. I'm serious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRAND BATTLE
After you beat Rahu, the truth is revealed to the public. All except one bit:
Steel Hearts beat it. After taking a break from work, you go back to find
you're Class-D again. To get back to Class-S, you must win a variety of

After the battle, the screen goes to the Z Boss's room. Everybody's in there,
even the knocked-out bodies of Oboro, Eliza, and Isabella. Sergei plays one
more message for you.
"Hero, I know I'll never see you again, and so I want to give you these last
few words. I'm sure people had their reasons for wanting to forget what had
happened to them centuries ago. And for those reasons, we live in an age of
darkness, of forgetting. We didn't have to remember the horros Rahu had
created. But there was a problem... We also didn't remember that Rahu was
still out here, waiting for its chance to return. It seems obvious in
retrospect that this all should happen. After all, nobody knew to prepare a
defense against it. Nobody even knew Rahu existed anymore. In fact, the
government-created memories told us all that the dome was the extent of our
world. The ruins of the outside world would only bring doubts to the minds of
those who saw it. They would want to know what had caused all
destruction. And slowly, over time, the odds became greater that someone would
discover the truth... Rahu. The government could not abide this threat of
instability. It did away with all knowledge of outside. This was theft, plain
and simple. The curious had been robbed of the ability to discover, to learn.
People learn from their mistakes. We learn, and our thinking grows, leads us
to a higher level. As long as there is an unknown, humans will pursue it and
seek to unravel its mysteries. The government had stolen our growth, those
things that force us to evolve and explore. The memory-erasure device is a
powerful tool, if used properly. Our government, despire its pure motives,
used it to an evil end. They used it to stop us from evolving and growing.
Now that you've stopped Rahu, you must ask yourself how best to use the device.
Will you erase everyone's memory of Rahu once again? If so, you'll prove that
we have not grown as a species at all in the past few centuries. Mankind will
be frozen, static, incapable of bettering itself. Only death lies down that
path. Hero...I'm sure your friends are listening with you. And I beg you
all... We cannot repeat the mistake of our forefathers. Consider carefully how
you can use that device for the benefit of us all. I leave the rest up to
you. Take care, Hero."
Whew... that was a lot of typing. The characters discuss what's best for the
people, and in the end, it is decided that if the government won't do anything,
they will bring the truth to them themselves. The matter will be discussed
with the Chief and the dome's leaders. The hero gives Mira his watch so she
can give it to Linda.
"OK, let's go home! I can't wait to see Ernest's face when we tell him the
truth!!"
After the message and discussion, the credits will roll, and you will get a
taste of First-Person Mode using the parts you beat Rahu with. After you beat
the life out of the Metal Ape shooting you, you will get a choice.
You can go back to the menu screen, where you can select Grand Battle, or
you can play A New Journey again with your new parts.

|V. PARTS| (PRTS)
\--------/
These are all the parts you can get in the game and their stats. With all the
stats (0.0-5.0), the higher, the better. If you see "/!\" next to a part, then
that part is illegal. That doesn't mean you can't use it; it just means it's
cheap. If the part has a (C) next to it, it is a Can part and extremely weak.
If the part has an asterisk (*) next to it, you only acquire it in Grand
Battle.
|BODY PARTS|

|VI. HOLOSSEUMS| (HSSMS)
\--------------/
These are the different holosseums you will use in Custom Robo, and different
strategies for each. If a holosseum belongs to a specific person in the game,
their name will be in parantheses. If you don't encounter the holosseum in
A New Journey, there will be an asterisk (*) next to its name. In VS. Mode, if
you hold Z while selecting a stage that has [Z] next to it here, the ground
will be a grid, and in Basic Arena, the structures will be very simple.
Basic Arena [Z]
A stage that sets the standard for robo battles. The formation of obstacles
is well-balanced and makes this a prime place for normal battles.
Diamond Fences
A stages with a peculiar wall pattern. Try not to get covered.
High-Rise Plaza
A stage distinguished by two wall types: high columns and low, triangular
platforms. Use the high walls to evade attacks.
Basic Cell
A Basic Arena with magma pools in its corners. Be careful when using a slide
shot.
Diamond Cell
A Diamond Fences stage with magma pools in its corners. Be careful around the
molten area.
High-Rise Cell
A High-Rise Plaza with magma pools in its corners. Be careful when fighting
near the molten areas.
Crevice Court
An irregular area with haphazardly strewn walls and obstacles. Use the
unpredicatable cover to help your attack.
L Formation (Marcia/Sergei)
A stage distinguished by L-shaped walls. Use the cover to your advantage.
Checkmate Foundry (Harry)
A stage based on a factory. Learn to use the conveyor belts to your
advantage.
Castle Keep (Oboro)
A stage based on a castle's inner keep. Use the sprawling walls to your best
advantage.
Castle Citadel (Rahu II)
A stage based on the inner citadel of a castle. The central wall where the
stone lantern stands can be vital to victory.
Lost World (Rahu III)
A strange, organic arena with 4 round obstacles. The stage is somewhat large,
so fight from an advantageous range.
Flower Garden
An arena based on a pleasant park. Use the central arch to your advantage.
Chinese Bowl (Don)
A staged based on a Chinese bowl. Use the inclined environment to your
advantage.
Robo's Room
A stage reminiscent of a lavatory. The small area and large number of walls
makes it somewhat difficult to move.
Nature Park (Rahu I)
A stage designed to mimic the natural world. Use the central bridge to take
control of the entire stage.
Little Locomotive (Will/Wendy)
An arean designed to look like a child's play area. Advanced fighters will
use the train for both offense and defense.
Merry-Go-Round
A stage designed to look like a merry-go-round. Fire at your foe from between
the horses.
Magma Hole
If a robo walks on the middle of this stage, the ground will sink and allow
magma to seep through.
Magma Ruins
A stage surrounded by a ring of magma. Over time, the magma slowly melts the
stage.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: End the battle quickly, especially if you are using a
Little Raider. If the stage becomes very small, you could easily be knocked
into the lava, no matter what robo you are using.
Ice and Snow
An arena covered in ice and snow. Watch your footing on the slippery floors.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: Use the Long Thrust legs and focus on air-dashing.
Frozen Field
A field entirely covered in ice. Be careful when walking on the ground.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: Use the Long Thrust legs and focus on air-dashing.
Dead Line
A conveyor belt that constantly feeds into a sea of magma. Don't let your
robo drift to its doom.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: Try to stay behind a wall so if you are knocked down,
you don't lose more health by falling into the magma.
Double Dead Line
A stage bracketed on both ends by magma. The conveyor belts on the left and
right sides move differently, so be careful.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: Be careful of where the conveyor belts lead, and
follow the tip I gave for Dead Line.
Panic Cubes (Eliza/Isabella)
An arena filled with vertically oscillating block obstacles. Master the
terrain to achieve victory.
Panic Walls
An arena that boasts retracting walls. Time the movement of the walls as you
fight.
Scramble Walls
A more difficult version of the Panic Walls stage. The walls here elevate in
an odd pattern.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyper Omega's Advisory for Panic Cubes, Panic Walls, and Scramble Walls: Be
aware of the timing at which the walls or platforms move and move accordingly.
This is harder in Scramble Walls, however. In Panic Cubes, sometimes there
will be no cover at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading Dock*
A stage distinguished by a suspended platform. It's always moving, so be
careful.
Battle Gear Station*
A cog-wheel-themed arena. Use the platforms atop the spinning cogwheels to
gain the advantage.
Impact Craters*
An arena based on a ruined region. The ground splits and moves over time.
Sudden Death*
The smallest stage. Short-range battles here are always intense.
Hyper Omega's Advisory: Good combos to use here are Little Raiders with
short-range guns or Funky Big Heads with the Titan Bomb. (After firing the
bomb, continuous jump out of the range, if possible.)
Gigantix Sprawl* (Evil)
The largest stage. Figure out your optimal distance and fight from afar.
No-Man's Land* [Z}
A stark area with absolutely no walls. Attacks that don't normally hit your
opponent may work here.
Practice Stage
A stage designed for target practice and tactics training.
Dark Star
An arena that mystifies the senses. Be careful. It's difficult to gauge the
distance between you and your foe.

PARTS GENERATORS, PRACTICE MODE, AND THE GLOSSARY
Given by: Harry
Sitation: After foiling the burglary
Location: Lab
Day One: Employment
A parts generator registers new part data into your robo cube. When you buy a
robo, it only comes with the standard parts. You won't have access to a lot of
parts if you don't collect enough battle experience. When a robo gethers
battle experience, the internal computer records the battle information. The
parts generator automatically reads the record and gives you the new part.
Any new parts you get, you can use them in the next battle. Whatever parts you
want to use, is up to you. You can customize as much as you like. That's it
for the hard stuff. It's best to check the parts generator after every battle.
Your opponent's not gonna wait for you while you make a quick run to the parts
generator. And, obviously, you can't slip out during a battle. That's why
it's best to check with the parts generator after every battle. Even if you
forget to check after a battle, you can still get the part afterwards...
However, if it's just waiting for you to pick it up, why not go get it as soon
as possible? The more parts, the more you cn customize your robo. It gives
you a real advantage in battle. So make sure you check the parts generator
after every battle. Also, open the customize screen before a battle. If you
press the R Button in that menu, you can practice with your new part. When you
want to get out of Practice mode, press START and then select RETIRE. Well, if
you don't understand, press START while you're walking around to check the
glossary.

THE ABILITY TO OPERATE NEW PARTS
Given by: Lab Tech
Situation: After foiling burglary
Location: Lab
Day One: Employment
Most commanders become better by fighting, by mastering each of their robo's
abilities. By fighting, robos customize their programming and develop the
ability to operate new parts. That's why robos don't come preinstalled with
all the parts. That custom robo needs battle experience in order to alter its
code and "learn" new parts. Parts generators read your robo's battle log and
install any parts your robo is able to use. That's why you should check the
nearest parts generator after you finish a battle. Afterr all, you don't want
to miss an opportunity to get a new part!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION OF COMMANDER
Given by: Lab Tech
Situation: After foiling burglary

By the way, did you know that people who are trained to pilot robos are called
"commanders"? You did? Well, I guess you just know it all, don't you!?

EYE-SCAN REGISTRATION

THE "CUSTOM" IN CUSTOM ROBO
Given by: Lab Tech
Situation: After foiling burglary
Location: Lab
Day One: Employment
Custom robos are composed of five parts: a body, a gun, a bomb, a pod, and a
leg unit. Commanders have the freedom to customize any of these five parts in
any way they want. The "custom" part comes from planning your robo design
based on your battle situation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVING
Given by: Lab Tech
Situation: After foiling burglary
Location: Lab
Day One: Employment
Remember, even though it's a robo, once you dive into it, it's an extension of
your own body. During a dive, a commander's thoughts merge with the robo's
CPU, giving maximum control! When a robo receives damage, the commander
experiences a kind of mental trauma. It's a side effect of the dive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOLOSSEUMS
Given by: Lab Tech
Situation: After foiling burglary
Location: Lab
Day One: Employment
Robos usually remain in their cube form, but when they enter the holosseum,
they transform into full-fledged robos. A holosseum is a virtual battlefield
generated by a commander's mind and memories. Sometimes, your opponent will be
the ones whose memories are generating the holosseum. However, some commanders
are simply unable to generate a holosseum. It's not that they're weaker or
that they're worse commanders. It's an ability you either have or you don't.
Just like how some people are tall and some people are short... There's not
much you can do to change genetics. Commanders who can't generate a holosseum
just use ones that are available on the market. They use a basic holosseum
that comes preinstalled into the robo. There's even a machine called a
holosseum deck that can create a holosseum.

WHAT BOUNTY HUNTERS DO
Given by: Hero
Situation: Talking to Lucy before work
Location: Hero's House
Day Two: Training
It's hard to explain, but basically, we hunt down criminals whose crimes
involve robos. We take requests that the police squad considers too small to
bother with.

HOLOSSEUM DECKS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Harry
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
This table here's called a holosseum deck. It's a machine that projects a
holosseum. Some commanders, like me, can create their own holosseum. Some
can't. Just the way it is. Commanders who can't just use a holosseum that's
built into their custom robo... or they use holosseum decks like these to make
one for them.

CHANGING THE DIRECTIONS YOUR PODS FIRE
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Harry
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
You've probably noticed, but you can change the direction the pod fires in.
Tilt the Control Stick so it aims where you wanna shoot, and press the L
Button. If you don't tilt the Control Stick, it'll automatically fire in the
direction of your opponent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given by: Girl
Situation: Training in Gym
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
Just because you get a new part doesn't mean it's going to make you stronger
when you use it. A strong commander knows his opponent, his environment, and
the best weapons for the battle. Don't change your parts on a whim. Find a
part you like, use it for a while, and master it. You'll have lots of time to
work out your favorite customization. But, of course, you WILL want to
experiment with new parts every now and then. So after you're done with your
battle, don't forget to check the parts generator, OK?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GETTING KNOCKED DOWN/REBIRTH MODE
Given by: Computer
Situation: Before fighting Computer
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
You should take caution ro prevent your robo from being knocked down. If you
receive a powerful attack or repeated attacks in a short period of time, your
robo will overload. When it overloads, it is knocked down and vulnerable to
attacks for a short time. However, you will be invincible for a short time
after you get up, while your robo's systems reboot. If you tap the buttons
quickly, your robo will rise more rapidly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRICK FLYER MODELS
Given by: Computer
Situation: Before fighting Computer
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
Allow me to explain the Trick Flyer model. My robo utilizes this body type.
The Trick Flyer has excellent aerial abilities. However, it moves slowly on
the ground. It doesn't jump far, but it can do a quick air dash up to 3 times.
When using a Trick Flyer, you should approach your opponent with an air dash
and then attack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEEP MOVING
Given by: Computer
Situation: Before fighting Computer
Location: Gym
Day Two: Training
Once a robo stops moving, it takes time for it to rech full movement speed
again. As a result, it can be dangerous to stop moving.

ROBO TYPES
Given by: Girl
Situation: In the Test Hall, the day you get your license
Location: Test Hall
Day Three: Getting Licensed
Let me tell you about the types of robo. Each type is just a different robo
model, like the Shining Fighter or Aerial Beauty... The type is what makes
the robos different from one another. That Ray 01 of yours is a Shining
Fighter model. Different types have different abilities. For example, a
Shining Fighter can air dash if you press the A Button after a jump. But an
Aerial Beauty will do an air jump is you press the A Button in the air. The
Little Raider model runs really fast... and the Metal Grappler has a high
endurance, making it difficult to knock it down... There's lots of other ones
too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBO STYLES
Given by: Girl
Situation: In the Test Hall, the day you get your license
Location: Test Hall
Day Three: Getting Licensed
Now, let me tell you about robo styles. Each type of robo is broken into a
number of different models. Ask the girl next to me. She knows more about
robo types. Basically, the style is just a more specialized robo model. For
example, there are a bunch of different robo styles within the Shining Fighter
model. Actually, there are only three different style variations: normal,
armor, and speed. The normal style is a well-balanced robo that sets the
standard for robos everywhere. Armor has higher defense than normal, but its
speed is slow. Speed is faster than normal, obviously, but it sacrifices a bit
of defense as a result. So, choose a style that best suits the way you fight.
Once you start getting a lot of robos, then you'll have to worry about choosing
one. Oh, and each robo has a different X Button charge. That should also help
you select a robo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SAFETY SWITCH
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before breaking up Walt and Carmen's battle
Location: Walt's House
Day Four: The Problem Next Door
It's a switch that decreases your robo's power. It's to prevent you from
hurting your opponent. The switch is on the robo cube. If you turn the safety
switch on and dive, the safety mechanism will automatically kick in. It won't
look any different though...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
METAL GRAPPLER MODELS
Given by: Carmen
Situation: Before fighting Carmen
Location: Walt's House
Day Four: The Problem Next Door
The Metal Grappler has extremely high defense. It's hard for it to get
knocked down, but since it moves slwo, I have a hard time dodging attacks. I
can only do one air dash. I usually focus on attacking, rather than worrying
about a little damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION TO 2-ON-2 BATTLES
Given by: Harry, (Hero)
Situation: Before fighting Carmen and Walt
Location: Walt's House
Day Four: The Problem Next Door
You've never had a 2-on-2 battle before, have you? It's when two people team
up on two others. Hey, Hero. Listen carefully. I'll explain 2-on-2 battles
to you. The basic controls are the same as the one-on-one battles, but there's
one difference. The arrow on top of your robo's head locks on to one of your
opponents. If you want to change your target, press the Y Button. Remember,
press the Y Button to change your target. Got it?! Oh, and your robo'll still
launch from the red robo cannon. I'll shoot from the blue robo cannon. Our
opponents launch from the green and yellow robo cannons. The colors of the
robo cannons indicate the colors of the robos battling in the match. For
example, you're red and I'm blue, and our opponents are green and yellow.
Every time you press the Y Button, the colored arrow above you changes to
either green or yellow. (Hero: But not blue?) I told you. I'm blue! What
good does it do you to shoot your partner? Watch out though--you can't fire
your gun hwile you'r changing targets. Your opponents have colored arrows
over their heads, too. When those arrows turn red, that means they're locked
on to you. Look carefully at the colored arrows and see who's locked on to
whom... Keep that in mind while you fight, OK?!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE GUY DIED OF STRESS
Given by: Ernest
Situation: After seeing dead man
Location: Daimon
Day Five: Don and Bogey
Looks like mental shock killed him. You can take real, physical damage in a
robo battle... But it takes a tremendous amount of stress to actually kill
someone!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION OF AUTONOMOUS ROBO
Given by: Harry
Situation: After Mira says an autnomous robo killed the man
Location: Daimon
Day Five: Don and Bogey
An autonomous robo moves itself without having any commander dive into it.
They were designed for manual and repetitive labor. I've never heard of one
that fights, though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARCIA'S SPECIAL ABILITY
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before Marcia half-dives
Location: Daimon
Day Five: Don and Bogey
It's when Marcia dives partway into a robo. She's the only person who can do
this. Remember what I told you a while back? Marcia's had this special power
since she was young. Marcia can dive into a robo that's already been
registered by eye contact. It doesn't mean she can control a preregistered
robo, though. However, she is able to read the commander's remaining
cognition. So whatever the commander saw through his robo's eyes, she sees.
She can even read that guy's last thoughts. Kinda gruesome, huh? Only thing
is, when she does this...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON MARCIA'S POWER
Given by: Harry, (Hero)
Situation: Waiting for Marcia
Location: Steel Hearts HQ
Day Five: Don and Bogey
I don't know much about it. It's a rare talent. I've never met anyone else
who can do a half-dive. (Really? But there might be others? I've never even
HEARD about half-dives before now.) Well, according to my sis... Marcia's the
only commander alive today who can do a half-dive. (Wow... She's pretty
extraordinary, isn't she?) Well, she's somethin', all right. But it doesn't
sound all that great. Her power makes her extremely sensitive. Emotionally
speaking, I mean. (How so?) For exampl,e you ever have times when there's
something on your mind? Don't you get worried? Well, in Marcia's case...
Take those worries and multiply them by a hundred. She gets so stressed out,
she just freezes. (That's pretty sensitive.) Yeah. She's been like that
since she was a child. That's why she seems so distant. She needs the
distance to keep from getting hurt by people. See, it's like this: Marcia's
big brother always used to protect her. (That's rough. Being that sensitive
and losing both your parents and your brother...) Yeah, she really sorta hit
rock bottom. It took a lot of work for Marcia to get where she is now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON 2-ON-2 BATTLES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Evil and Lackey
Location: Bogey's Cafe
Day Five: Don and Bogey
Let me tell you a little more about 2-on-2 battles. In a 2-on-2 battle, your
partner's gun shots and charges won't hurt you. However, you still take
damage if you get hit by your partner's pod or bomb blasts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRIKE VANISHER MODELS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Paulie
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Five: Don and Bogey
This guy's using a Strike Vanisher model. Let me explain. Like the Shining
Fighter, the Strike Vanisher model's abilities are well-balanced. But the
biggest difference is that it has a stealth function built into it. If you do
an air dash, this function will make your robo disappear, dodging incoming
gunfire. But compared to a Shining Fighter model, it moves slowly. If you're
going to use a Strike Vanisher, take advantage of its stealth ability to dodge
gunfire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DIAMOND CELL HOLOSSEUM
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Paulie
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Five: Don and Bogey
There's a holosseum called a Diamond Cell that the police squad uses. There's
a magma zone in that holosseum, so be careful. (Magma zone?) Yeah, it's the red
area. You'll take a lot of damage if you go into that area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POD STRATEGIES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Walt
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Five: Don and Bogey
Think where you're going to fire when you use the pod. You can do all kinds of
things with the pod. You can block your foe's way by firing ahead of 'em.
Also, use the corners of the holosseum to corner your foe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VULNERABILITY AFTER JUMPING
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Harry
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Five: Don and Bogey
The higher you jump, the more vulnerable you become. Same goes for an air
dash... You'll be vulnerable when you land after an air dash. So when you do
jump or air dash, try to land behind a wall. The wall will protect you from
attacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIGHTNING SKY MODELS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Shiner
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Five: Don and Bogey
The Lightning Sky model is the newest addition to the custom robo line. It can
attack and change directions while doing an air dash. It can only air dash
once, but it travels for a long time. It almost looks like it's flying!
However, it moves really slowly on the ground. It's got a low defense, and
that's its weakness.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVERAGE SIZE OF A HOLOSSEUM
Given by: Computer
Situation: Wandering around
Location: Gym
Day Five: Don and Bogey
The custom robo battles always take place inside a holosseum. A holosseum is
four square meters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE POD GRAPH
Given by: Sophie
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Right, so let's chat about... the pod graph! It's on the Customize Robo
screen. ATK is attack. You could probably have figured that out on your own.
It shows how much damage your pod does when it hits. The higher the bar, the
more damage. Got it? Oh, and SPD is speed. It shows how fast your pod
moves. The higher the bar, the faster the pod.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE GUN GRAPH
Given by: Walt
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Let's talk about the gun graph. That should be interesting. It's on the
Customize Robo screen. ATK shows how much damage the gun will inflict. The
higher the ATK bar, the more damage the gun does. SPD shows the speed of the
fired rounds. The higher the bar, the more quickly the gun's rounds move.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON THE GUN GRAPH
Given by: Woman
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Let me tell you about the gun graph. There's nothing more interesting than the
gun graph! HMG stands for homing. It shows how long the round follows its
target. The higher the bar, the longer it pursues its target. RPD is short
for "rapid fire," which is just a fancy way of saying how fast the gun fires.
The higher the bar, the faster the gun's rounds fire. DWN is the gun's
knockdown power. That's how good the gun is at knocking robos down. The
higher the bar, the more force the gun's rounds have.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SIZE OF A CUSTOM ROBO
Given by: Girl
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
You've probably noticed, but custom robos remain in cube form until they go
into battle. Once a robo transforms, it's only about 30 centimeters tall.
Just so you know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BOMB GRAPH
Given by: Girl
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
..All right, I'll tell you something more useful. Have you seen the bomb
graph? Check on the Customize Robo screen. You'll see ATK, which is how much
damage a bomb does. Obviously, the higher the bar is, the more damage your
bomb does. SPD shows the speed at which the bomb moves. The higher the bar,
the faster the bomb moves toward its target.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON THE BOMB GRAPH
Given by: Girl
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Let me tell you a bit about the bomb graph. It's on the Customize Robo screen!
SIZ refers to a bomb's blast radius. That's how big the area affected by the
bomb will be. The higher the bar, the bigger the blast radius. TIM refers to
the blast time. That's how lonmg the blast effect will remain after the bomb
explodes. Same deal here, too. The higher that bar is, the longer the blast
sticks around. DWN is the bomb's knockdown power. That's sort of like how
much force the bomb has. The higher the bar, the more knockdown force the
explosion has, you know what I mean?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON THE POD GRAPH
Given by: Boy
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Do you know much about the pod graph on the Customize Robo screen? HMG means
"homing." That's how far a pod will chase its target. The higher the bar, the
longer it chases its target. SIZ refers to the size of the pod's blast. A
higher bar means a bigger blast. TIM is the amount of time the blast remains
after the bomb detonates. Again, the higher the bar is, the longer the blast
lasts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ROBO GRAPH
Given by: Boy
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
Mmm? Oh, yeah... Let me tell you a little something about the robo
customization. On the robo graph, SPD stands for speed. The higher the bar,
the faster your robo can move. SKY means your robo's aerial abilities. That's
how well it moves in the air. Same deal here--the higher the bar, the better
its maneuverability in the air. ATK stands for attack. It's your robo's base
attack strength. The higher the bar, the more damage your robo can do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON THE ROBO GRAPH
Given by: Boy
Situation: Before the tournament
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
I'll explain the robo graph on the Customize Robo screen. DWN is endurance.
It shows how much abuse a robo can take before it's knocked down. The higher
the bar, the harder it is for the robo to get knocked down. DEF is defense,
the amount of damage a robo can take. The higher the bar, the less damage
your robo takes from attacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED CHARGE STRATEGIES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Will
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
When you charge by using the X Button, your robo is invincible while it is lit
up. If you time your charge right, you can approach your opponent while
dodging his attacks. Watch out, though--you'll be vulnerable to attacks right
before and after you charge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED AIR DASH STRATEGIES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Don
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
You can use the air dash in a bunch of different ways. You can pretend you're
gonna land and then fool 'em with a feint, or you can charge right in! You
can also dodge bullets if you time it right, but you'll be vulnerable when you
land.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AERIAL BEAUTY MODELS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Mary
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
The Aerial Beauty model moves excellently in the air. It can't do an air dash,
but it can do something called a continuous jump. It can move quicker than a
Shining Fighter, but its offense and defense are lower. If you're using an
Aerial Beauty, you're not going to attack directly. Instead, you'll probably
spend a lot of time dodging and moving to get the best position. Marcia's
Milky Way is also an Aerial Beauty model. She's told me that's how she fights.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADJUSTING WHERE YOUR BOMBS FALL
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Evil
Location: Gym
Day Six: Tournament at the Gym
To change where your bomb is targeting, hold the R Button and move the Control
Stick. Some bombs change their drop zone. You can use them to block your
opponent's path.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBOS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting ???
Location: Bogey's Cafe - Back Room
Day Nine: First Encounter
It won't do you any good if you use the gun, bombs, and pods separately. Your
opponent'll be moving fast. It's gonna try to dodge your attacks. You have to
figure out a way to block your opponent, stop him from moving, or hit him!
Surround him with a pod, then fire a bomb and finish him off with the gun.
It's easy. Sorta. 'Course, this all depends on what weapons you've outfitted
your robo with, you know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUNKY BIG HEAD MODELS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Will and Wendy
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
The Funky Big Head model has excellent defense and aerial capabilities. It can
also do a continuous jump. However, it moves really slow on the ground.
That's why when you use this type, you should jump constantly and attack from
the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DODGING RAPID SHOTS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Anthony and Thomas
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
I'm gonna tell you how to deal with rapid fire, like from the gatling gun.
Move as though you're drawing a circle around your opponent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKING BOMBS FLY FARTHER
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Police and Police
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
If you tilt the Control Stick toward your opponent and press the R Button, the
bomb will fly far. Hold the R Button while tilting the Control Stick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIFFERENT CHARGES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Carmen and Walt
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
Every robo has a totally different charge ability when you press the X Button.
You should try out all kinds of robo charges and plan them out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LITTLE RAIDER MODELS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Waiter and Bogey
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
The Little Raider model can move real quickly on the ground. It's aerial
abilities are high, too, but its defense is unbelievably low. It gets knocked
down easily. When you're using this type of robo, it's best to move as much
as you can. Don't ever stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CIRCLE AROUND YOUR FOE
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Mira and Roy
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
When you approach enemies from the air, circle around them. Never fly
straight toward them. That way, you can dodge any incoming fire while you're
circling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROUND AND AERIAL ATTACKS
Given by: Evil
Situation: Before fighting Evil
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
Some guns and bombs change abilities when they're fired during a jump. You
didn't know, did you? Give yourself a little variety by switching between
ground and air attacks. Take it from me. Aren't you happy I shared that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIFFERENT BLAST EFFECTS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Ernest
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Ten: Tournament at Police Squad HQ
You'll see a letter marker, like D or C, next to the names of bombs and pods.
That indicates what type of blast effect that weapon has. Got it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOW-AIR DASHES
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Police
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
While you're on the ground, press the A Button rapidly to do a low-air dash.
It's a good way to move quickly without having to move too high into the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USE OBSTACLES TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Police
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
Be sure to use the holosseum's obstacles to your advantage when you're
attacking. Lob bombs over walls, or try shooting from behind a wall while
doing a short jump. You're vulnerable right after you fire your gun, so it's
good to hide behind a wall until it passes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DODGING HOMING ROUNDS
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Linda
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
Dodge slow rounds with strong homing abilities by letting them come in really
close to you. Once it closes in on you, just jump over the incoming attack!
Don't forget, though: you'll be vulnerable right when you land, so try to be
careful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM OVERLOAD
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Roy
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
When two robos fire guns at one another and one of the robos is knocked down,
that's called a system overload. What that means is, if you fire your gun and
knock his robo down before he hits you... The other robo's rounds vanish,
and you won't get hit by his rounds! If you use the system overload to your
advantage, you'll stand a good chance of winning. Don't forget, though... You
can only overload a robo's system with your gun...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVOIDING MIRA'S BOMB-POD COMBO
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Mira
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
Be careful around the four corners of the holosseum. If she fires pods from
both sides and a bobm from above, you'll have nowhere to run. Make sure you
keep moving, and stay away from the corners.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE ON THE SYSTEM OVERLOAD
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Chief
Location: Police Squad HQ - Training Room
Day Eleven: The Truth
If your opponent has a gun with a slow rate of fire, it's best to rush in
directly and go for a system overload. For example, if your opponent has a
hornet or a rayfall gun, that's a good time for an overload.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DODGING GUNFIRE WITH A CONTINUOUS JUMP
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Z Lackey
Location: Z's Hideout - Lounge
Day Thirteen: Attack on Z's Lair
If you want to dodge gunfire from a continuous jump, let the shots come in real
close and jump once. If you're constantly jumping, you won't be able to dodge
any other shots fired at you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIGHTNING SKY STRATEGY
Given by: Harry
Situation: Before fighting Shiner
Location: Z's Hideout - Hallway
Day Thirteen: Attack on Z's Lair
Let me tell you a little about Shiner's Lightning Sky model. With the
Lightning Sky model, you can rush your opponent aggressively with an air dash.
However, when you land after an air dash, you become extremely vulnerable.
Also, you can only do one air dash. If you see him dashing around a lot,
you'll have a chance to hit him when he lands. And if you're ever going to use
a Lighting Sky model... Be sure to hide behind a wall after an air dash.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBOS
Given by: Z Lackey
Situation: Before fighting Z Lackey
Location: Z's Hideout - Training Room
Day Thirteen: Attack on Z's Lair
A combo is a chained attack. Blow your opponent away with a bomb or pod and
finish with a gun. For example, hit your opponent with a Straight Bomb G and
fire your Vertical Gun. This will knock your opponent down right away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT-JUMP SHOOTING
Given by: Z Lackey
Situation: Before fighting Z Lackey
Location: Z's Hideout - Training Room
Day Thirteen: Attack on Z's Lair
Sometimes, don't you just want to attack as soon as you're in the air? When
you want to do that, lightly tap the A Button for a short jump. When you want
to do a quick aerial shot, press both the A and B Button simultaneously.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLACING PODS
Given by: Mira
Situation: Before fighting Z Lackey
Location: Z's Hideout - Training Room
Day Thirteen: Attack on Z's Lair
When using pods that need to be set, such as the Spider and Satellite, spread
them out... Your opponent'll have a hard time moving around if you place three
pods in his way... Don't place them too close or far from each other.
