1. FOREWORD
Hi everyone. This is actually my second official FAQ only (my first one is the
"Macross: Do You Remember Love" FAQ for PSOne). The reason why this FAQ exists
is due to the popular demand of a Wanderer list and also to get us more
organized without going back and forth in the Message Board. So I was trying
to put everything I know inside this FAQ to give all of you a little help.
Some of them are just from my experience, others are from what I read from
different discussion forums. But nonetheless, I hope I can do my best to
provide just my little tips to get the game 100% completion.
Talking about 100%, I just finished the game this morning (August 19, 2003). I
was stuck in the last 2% for two days already for those Wanderers, and finally
I figured out what to do to get it done. So hopefully everyone can get 100%
very soon too. It should not take that long except for some of the Wanderers
out there =)
And if you found out that I wrote something wrong with regards to the
Wanderers' conditions or you have some alternate ways to make the Wanderers
appear, please email me (
[email protected]) with Subject "WANDERERS..." or
"FAQ..." so I can make appropriate amendments. Your contributions to this FAQ
will benefit not just me, but other gamers as well. Thanks in advance for your
valuable comments.
2. INTRODUCTION
Before I begin, I just want to say that Wanderers in the Shutokou series are
love-and-hate relationship for me. The love part is that it is very rewarding
when you have beaten the Wanderers, and the hate part is it is very hard to
guess the conditions to get the Wanderers out. Even if you know Japanese, you
still need to play with the mind game before you can really figure out where
and how they will appear. There are a total of 83 Wanderers in this game, so
refer to this FAQ if you require some assistance. I better stop talking and go
on with the conditions of the Wanderers.
By the way, I am NOT going to post any Gameshark/Pro Action Replay/any kind of
cheat codes this time. First of all, there are no very good cheat codes out
there to help you out really, except for the infinite money code (I never use
such codes to win money). And also, cheat codes will simply downgrade the
enjoyable level of this game because you have to beat 600 rivals in total, and
it will test out your patience as well as driving skills if you can complete it
yourself. So hopefully I will not be getting a lot of hate mails for not
posting the cheat codes this time around.
3. LEGAL DISCLAIMER
I hate to say this, but to protect myself and my valuable assets (i.e. this FAQ
and my intellectual property), I have no choice but to mention it once again.
As usual, no one enjoys writing a so-called legal disclaimer, as this is
somewhat useless and tedious. However, in order to protect all the people's
documents, this is still required, so here you go.
This document, in whole or in part of, is the property of Alan Cheng. No one
should ever attempt to use this document to make money, or I will get you for
sure! This is used to guide gamers on how to beat the game's Wanderers only.
If you happen wanted to print a copy for yourself or your friends, go ahead.
But if you want to put it on your web site, please notify me through email
(
[email protected]), no matter it is part of or the whole document. I will
notify you through email for the permission to post this FAQ on your web site.
All the names related to the game and the game console belongs to the property

co-operation. Blah blah blah.
NOTE: If you want to print out this FAQ, please set your margins to 1 inch for
all the four margins, with 10 pt font and Courier New type font. This will
make up a total of 7 pages.
4. VERSIONS UPDATES
Version 2.0 - Added the License Plate Explanation under "5. LICENSE

- Added specifics for the following Wanderers in Nagoya:
#117, #119, #125

Version 1.0 - This is the first version of this FAQ. More will follow
(August 18, 2003) when required.
5. LICENSE PLATE TRICK
Some of the Wanderers require you to use specific license plates before they
show up. Instead of buying a brand new car to have a new license plate, here
is what you can do to change the license plate details:
1) Go to "Change Car" on the main menu;
2) go to "Garage" or "Sub Garage", depending on where your car is stored;
3) choose the car you want and press "O" button on your controller;
4) before you have really chosen your car, press "Square" button on your
controller. This will bring up the license plate screen once again;
5) make the changes and confirm afterwards.
In this case you don't need to buy a new car once again =)
(NEW!! License Plate Explanation!)
Another important note on changing the license plate's city and character is
the location of the city and character on the License Plate screen. Because
this game is written in Japanese and I do not know the exact translation for
the English counterpart, so I used the following method to identify the
specific city and character you should input for some particular Wanderers.
For the Japanese cities, there are a total of 18 rows and 5 columns. So for
example, if you want to seek out Wanderer #275, you will need to have a license
plate with city R12-C2, meaning you have to go to Row 12 and Column 2 to select
the right city. Therefore, on this FAQ, I'll use the "Rx-Cx" method to denote
that city without further confusions.
The other one is the character after you have chosen the city and the two to
three numbers of that city. It should be a single Japanese character to choose
from the table. Like the cities, they are divided into rows and columns, but
there are only 6 rows and 5 columns. For Wanderer #119 (that should be the
only Wanderer requiring a specific Japanese character for the license plate),
you use R6-C4 to make your license plate glow in fluorescent green.
Hopefully everyone can understand this method of selecting the right cities and
characters =)
6. SHUTOKOU WANDERERS
There are a total of 50 Wanderers in Shutokou. Because it is impossible for me
to list out the appearance places for the Wanderers, I will simply list them by
their original numbers instead. If someone can tell me the actual English
translations for the places, please email me. I will definitely give you
credits for that.
#260: Appears during even number days (e.g. Day 2, 4, 6...)
#261: Appears during rainy days (as long as it is not sunny)
#262: Appears on Fridays only
#263: Appears after coming out from Pit Area (sorry I really do not know the
English translation of the Pit Area)
#264: Use Subaru cars
#265: Use Toyota MR-S
#266: Use Toyota MR-S, and appears on Wednesdays after defeating #265 (Note: I
found that you can also battle #266 with cars other than MR-S as well)
#267: Appears when you have achieved a 10-win combo
#268: Appears when the unit number of days is 3 or is a multiple of 3 (e.g. Day
3, 13, 23, 133...)
#269: Appears when the number of days is a multiple of 5
#270: When you have come out from ALL Pit Areas in Shutokou (including all the
upper and lower sections; you do not need to complete in a single day, but you
cannot miss out a single one)
#271: Apply the "Rolling Guy" sticker on any part of the car body
#272: Drive around the Kasumi Gaseki section when the internal clock of your
PS2 is 02:00 AM (it is better for you to set the clock of your PS2 to the Japan
time zone for future use).
(Note: Here is what you can do to reach that section easily: On Shutokou map,
press "Up" on your controller once, and choose the second option to choose the
Outer C1 section and begin the race)
#273: Go to Time Attack mode and race the Outer C1 section within 04'05" (that
is the time set by MCS, and make sure your overall time is less than 04'05")
#274: When you have 2 or more cars in your garage
#275: Use the "Na Ne Wa" (R12-C2) license plate on your car (that should be the
12 row, 2 column city when you choose the city name)
#276: Equip license plates from cities R6-C3, R6-C2, R6-C1, or R6-C4 on your
car, and the trip meter ("TRIP") should be at least "300," which means you
should at least travel 30 km
#277: Use a newly bought car
# 278: Will battle after signaling right (i.e. push right on the right analog
stick if you are using the default controller setup). I found that you might
need to come out from a pit stop, signal right, and flash the high beams before
#278 will come into battle.
#279: Use a non-Japanese car when the internal clock of your PS2 is between
21:00 and 23:00 (i.e. 09:00 PM to 11:00 PM). Also, do not use any non-Japanese
cars that are in the "Custom" or "Special" car selections.
#280: Use cars that have been modified inside the "Dress Up" menu (this can
include any color change or stickers)
#281: Appears every 30 days after battling in Shutokou area
#282: Appears on Tuesdays and Fridays only, with the "TRIP" reading less than
"200" (i.e. below 20 km)
#283: Use cars without the rear spoiler (rear spoiler as "Off")
#284: Use "A.P.S." or "Da Ra Ma Ra Su Ma Mi" stickers on your car (preferrably
the "A.P.S." sticker because I might have translated the other one wrong :P)
#285: The total number of wins is 500 or above
#286: Use custom alloy wheels on VIP-type cars
(Note: VIP-type cars are the following ones: JZS161 [Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex
Edition], E124 [Mercedes Benz 500E], GH230 [Mercedes Benz SL500], HY34 [Nissan
Cedric 300VIP], and HY33 [Nissan Gloria Gran Turismo Ultima])
#287: Use a 1980's car
#288: Drive an American car when your PS2 internal clock is after 00:00 (i.e.
after midnight, as its name suggests)
#289: Use a German car (Porsche/Gemballa, Mercedes Benz)
#290: Use an English or Italian car (preferably Lotus cars)
#291: Appears when all the digits for the number of days are the same (e.g. 11,
22, 33, or 111, 222, 333. It does not matter if you have gone pass the 100th
day as long as all the digits are the same)
#292: Use a car that has the engine changed already (which means your total
mileage for that particular car is over 2000 km)
#293: The total mileage of the car is between 1000 and 2000 km
#294: Use wagon cars (Subaru cars are the best)
#295: Use KPGC110 during rainy days (KPGC110 is the same as the old Nissan GT-R
car)
#296: Turn on the emergency lights (press R3) and drive like crazy by hitting
the walls
#297: Use car with the "Wind Stars" stickers
#298: Appears when you have acquired a special B.A.D. name (One method is to
use a Toyota Trueno, a.k.a. AE86 and use a "Rolling Guy" sticker. This will
change the name to "xxx No.0")
#299: Appears after defeating the "Commander" team
#300: Appears after defeated the normal teams in both Nagoya and Hanshin areas
(by normal I mean the regular teams and not those "xxx ARRIVAL" special teams)
#301: Appears after selling several cars
#302: Use license plate from the city "Yokohama", which is R5-C2 for the
Japanese city
#303: Use cars with 4WD transmission (Nissan GT-R R34 or Subaru GDB will work)
#304: Use a Mazda FD (i.e. newer Mazda RX-7) with the "Infinity" sticker
#305: Use a car with everything set to "Normal" (Including the entire engine,
muffler, sticker, wheels, tires upgrades. Everything HAS to be set to "Normal"
or it will never appear)
#306: After defeating #307
#307: After defeating #308
#308: After defeating #309
#309: The license plate is "11-11" (remember to use the "License Plate Trick"
detailed above)
(Note: #309, #308, #307, #306 appear in this order and they come and battle you
after you have defeated the previous one, so do not use the "BOOST" in the
early stages and remember to use a powerful car)
7. Nagoya Wanderers
There are a total of 14 Wanderers in the Nagoya area. So here you go.
#117: Appears on Tuesdays when you go on the Circular section
(Note: Again, to go to that section easily, on Nagoya map, press "Down" once on
your controller, and choose the only option to race in the Circular section)
#118: Use a car that has "Color Change" during rainy days (you can paint the
whole car or just part of a car like a bonnet, but make sure you do NOT use a
custom or special car because you cannot modify the car or apply stickers to
any custom or special cars)
#119: Use license plates with the Japanese character "Ro" (the one on the left
of "Y" at the bottom of the list, which is R6-C4 for the Japanese character
table), and will appear every 10 days. Using the "Ro" character will make your
license plate glow in fluorescent green.
#120: Go into the Pit Area on the bottom right of Circular section 5 times or
more
#121: Use a 1980's Nissan car (older models of Z/Fairlady will be good choices)
#122: Own two exact same cars (one can be just a base model with no
modifications), and use one of them to battle
#123: Use any car with a mileage below 2000 km
#124: Use the lightest car on Fridays (preferably with Cappuccino using the
Level 5 "Weight Down" and NO "Reinforcement". This will keep the Cappuccino
below 600 kg)
#125: Use a Nissan GT-R car and drive close to the area on the leftmost of the
map
(Note: On Nagoya map, press "Up" on your controller 4 times to reach this area,
but you will just need to press "Up" 3 times to start from there and choose the
only option, or you will be travelling in the opposite direction)
#126: Win 100 rivals in Nagoya area
#127: Use a non-turbo car (those with NA or simply no turbo engines) after
defeating #126
#128: Appears every Monday after reaching a battling speed of 300 km/h or above
(this can be hard if you are in earlier stages of the game, but after a Level 7
"Engine" upgrade, this should not be a problem)
#129: Use a FF (front-engine, front-wheel-drive) transmission car and use
manual transmission (use a Mitsubishi FTO will be the best)
#130: After defeating other areas (i.e. after defeating Shutokou and Hanshin)
8. Hanshin Wanderers
The last area is the Hanshin area. This area has 19 Wanderers and they are
easier to defeat then the other two areas (though I struggled once with one of
the Wanderers). Here is the listing.
#142: Will come in for a 2-on-1 battle with #143 after you have defeated #143
by at least half of the energy bar
#143: Appears on weekends (i.e. Saturdays and Sundays)
#144: Appears after defeating #142 and #143
#145: Appears when the last digit of the number of days is "9"
#146: Stop by the rightmost of the Circular section of the map and honk (press
L3). You have to come to a complete stop before you do so, and honk until #146
come to battle you.
(Note: The rightmost of the Circular section is when you are on Hanshin map,
press "Down" on your controller once, and choose the only option to start in
the Circular section)
#147: Go into the Pit Area on the upper left of the Circular section 5 to 10
times
#148: Upgrade the muffler to Level 3 or above
#149: Hide/"Off" the license plate
#150: Continue to have 1 to 3 battles only for several days around this section
and return to garage
#151: Change to an L-type engine (after you have accumulated over 2000 km for
your car and change to those inline engines)
#152: After winning three battles in a row around this section
#153: Battling in the lower Wangan section for 10 consecutive days, and WIN at
least 1 rival for each day (you HAVE to ride in this section for 10 days in a
row, and you cannot lose a single battle within this 10 days or the rival will
not come no matter how many days you have played)
(IMPORTANT: This one causes the most confusion, so I'll explain a bit more: On
Hanshin map, press "Up" on your controller 3 times, choose the first option to
select "lower Wangan" section. You HAVE to be in that section for 10
consecutive days without going to other sections or maps. You also need to WIN
at least 1 rival for each of the 10 consecutive days. If you lose once, the
internal counter will reset and you have to start over again. Because you will
for sure encounter rainy/snowy/foggy days within these 10 days, a better method
is for you to WIN one race for one day, return to garage, save your game
progress, and go back again. Do it for 10 days in row and on the eleventh day
#153 should appear. In this case you do not have to restart the whole sequence
again in case you lose a battle during rainy/snowy/foggy days because you can
always reload from that particular point.)
#154: After defeating the Shutokou area
#155: Go to "Options" and turn the volumes to the MAX, and will appear after
defeating #148
#156: Buy ALL Nissan Z series (there should be 4 to 5 Z cars under the "Nissan"
section, and this is where the Sub Garage comes in handy because you do not
want to dispose of your previous cars), and use the Nissan Z33 (the new
Z/Fairlady) to battle
#157: Have over 100 million (100,000,000) CP (credits/dollars)
#158: Use the license plate from city "Kuma Hon" (license plate city of R17-C3)
with a not-too-high mileage reading (do not go over the 1000 km for the
mileage)
#159: Appears after defeating rivals #118 and #125
#160: Tune the car to the lowest "Ride Height" (-30 mm) after defeating the
team "Low Position"

successfully without many people's contributions. Here is a list of people I
would like to take the chance to thank them, from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks!
