2: Battle techniques.

Buttons and uses:

   (A)= Jump.some people have double jumps too and can also jump off walls)

   (B)= Grab. basically lets you pick up weapons, throw enemies (good in air) and also use
        arena to you advantage, such as hanging from ladders, posts and the ceiling.
        You can also attack off a wall by pressing b when next to it.
        Hold (B) down and move and you will sometimes evde enemies when next to them.

   (X)= Punch/Throw/Shoot Weapon/push boxes/special attack in drive mode

   (Y)= Kick/kick boxes/special attack in drive mode

   (L)= Punch+Jump (when in power drive also lets you use final attack)

   (R)= Kick+Jump (when in power drive also lets you use final attack)

Fighting: You run around various arenas attacking enemies with
         anything you can get you hands onto. Each character starts off with 1 powerstone.
         to stand a chance in succesfully winning the bout you will want to get all three
         powerstones (the other one off your opponent and then collect the third yellow one
         which beams down a few seconds into the bout.)
         Once all three have been collected you character will become stronger
         and will change into a super being. With this you will have a power drive gauge at the
         bottom of the screen which empties when you use your attacks (by the use of punch and kick)
         When you have used up all of you drive energy then you will lose the powerstones and
         turn back to normal, then it starts again until one of you is dead.

         Each character has two final attacks which use up all the drive gauge(via L and R buttons)
         You are best to use these when you have little drive energy left to get the most power
         out of this super state. (there is a bar on the screen to show you which stones you and your
         opponent have in posession. there is also a radar showing you where abouts stones are
         on the battle arena)

         Your energy bars are the daimond shaped boxes on the top. every time they are emptied
         they dissapear and when they are gone, you're dead. (when the bars have blue in them,
         this is energy that can slowly come back if you have enough time to recharge it.)

         When you are trying to collect power stones from other characters you are best to use
         flying kicks because these will easily knock the gems out of your opponent quickly.
         When a character uses this technique on you, pick up items and then when they kick,
         throw it at them to get their stone. hehehe.
         All items and attacks usually auto aim for your opponent so always attack when they
         are running away or coming forward because other wise you'll miss(except for the bazooka)

         Beefy guys can pull trees and posts from the ground and use them as weapons.

         Never let enemies get all three power stones, if they do you're in trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3: Battle items. when picking up weapons you character will usually slow down so when you dont
                need them any more press (B) to throw them away. If you get hit when you have a
                weapon in possesion you will lose it. guns usually have a gauge beside them
                telling you how much fuel it has left. some have bullets beside them instead.

Petrol bomb: Pick it up and throw it at enemies, causes multiple hits but is hard to aim.

Bomb: Has a timer which when depleted, will blow up hitting anything thats near it. Slows you down
     but blast radius is affective. (try playing volleyball with it with a mate for a laugh)

Bazooka: what a beaut, slows you down like a friggin snail but has a blast radius of an atom bomb
        Very powerful and just the thing for collecting power stones.
Sword: Very strong and increases you attack range but slows you down a little.

Bar: Same kind of thing as the sword.

Handgun: shoots six bullets which are hard to aim and it slows you down, although very strong
        and can aim long distance.

Flame thrower: Shoots flames that hurt enemies bad. medium range, it does slow you down
              considerably.

EXTRA ITEMS: these are only found after successful completion of the game.

Bow: A Long staff that stretches across the screen and attacks powerfully
    a good weapon that lasts long.

Ray gun: shoots rays that spread out giving it a large radius. although medium range.

Sheild: Use this to protect your self when the opponent has transformed. The only
       guard you have in the game.

Mini gun: very power ful rapid fire gun that slows you down but spreads bullets like mad.
         another winner.

Food: Recharge you health during battle.
