    This is my first FAQ/Walkthrough. I really didn't know how to set
    it up, so I just tried it like this. If there is any questions
    about this FAQ, please send me an e-mail witn Air Comabt in the
    subject line. If you ask me a question that is already covered in

6. Codes
    All of these codes came from Game Winners (www.gamewinners.com).
    I've tried to give credit to everyone who submitted a code. I
    will not gaurentee that these codes will work, so if you have any
    questions, ask Game Winners and not me.
 Entering Cheat Mode:
    Hold R1 + Circle before the "bird" logo loading screen appears.
    A new black screen with the phrase "Now Loading" and bouncing CDs
    in the background will confirm that cheat mode is active. If the
    normal "bird" screen appears, then the code was not entered in
    time. Each time a code is successfully entered, a small Namco
    character will appear in the lower left corner.
 999,999,000 credits:
    Enter cheat mode and press Down, Circle, Triangle(3), Circle,
    Triangle, Circle, Triangle, Circle+Triangle, then press and hold
    Circle+Triangle again at the bouncing CD screen. Begin the game
    and enter the fighter selection screen. The amount of credits
    available will be set to the maximum.
 Change plane's color:
    Enter cheat mode and press Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left,
    Right, then hold R1 at the bouncing CD screen. For two player
    mode, replace the controller actions with Left, Right, Left,
    Right, Down, Up, Down, Up, Circle(2), Triangle(2), then press and
    hold Triangle again.
 Change wingman plane's color:
    Enter cheat mode and press R1 + Start (10).
 Hidden mini-game:
    Enter cheat mode and press Up, Left, Down, Right. Begin game
    play, then return to the title screen. A mini-game lasting
    approximately six seconds will begin while the     main game loads
    again. The Ace Combat icon can be controlled with Left or L2, and
    Circle or R2. Press R1 to switch between three control options.
    Destroy as many of the ships and missiles as possible before the
    small bird walks from the left to right side of the screen.
 Extra fighters:
    Complete the game under the easy difficulty level. Allow the
    credits to complete after the Boss is defeated. The phrase "Extra
    10" will appear on the top right corner of the title screen after
    it reappears. Use the plane select option to access the extra
    fighters.
 Skip mission overview (Japanese version):
    Press Triangle + Start.
 Remove captions (Japanese version):
    Pause game play, press L1 or R1, and resume the game. The
    Japanese text on the right side of the screen will disappear.
 Hints:
    Wingmen:
      Wingmen can draw enemy fire and planes during a mission. Choose
      a veteran wingman in a fast plane. Rhio in the F/A-18 is a good
      combination.
