GETTING STARTED
----------
When you first turn on the game let it go into the title screen.Go to
options if you would like to change various options or go to start to
start with the default settings.When you choose start you will be prompted
to pick a data between 1 and 3.Choose where you would like your data to
be saved.Then it will ask for your initials.Enter your name(if it fits).
Then it will ask for a number.Enter anything you want.After that the game
will play a short cinema.After that a map will appear to show your
current location.And then the game will start.

----------
BASICS
----------
_Basic things to know_
There are usually 3 stages per level.The third being a boss.You run on
gas.So instead of a time meter you have to watch that you don't run out
of gas.To get more gas you must pick up containers of it.To beat the stage
you have to get to the goal.There will be check points along the way
incase you die.It will start you back at your last check point.While
playing the game little events will be happening around the level.You
can interact with these events sometimes.Doing so will earn you a drama
item.These events can be anything from giving Mr.Silkhat is hat back
to saving Harris from drowning.It is a nice break from the norm.You
do not have to do it however.Before a boss fight there it will point out
its weak point.Keep in mind this is the only place to hit him.If you hit
him anywhere else you will become dazed.Being dazed drains gas.To become
"Un-dazed" simply tap the buttons.When you run out of gas you lose a life.
When you have lost all of your lives the game is over.If you don't have
Auto save on it will ask you at the end of every stage if you want to save
your game.It takes 7 memory blocks to save the game.I highly recommend
saving as the game is kind of long and it would be annoying to have to
play it straight through.Remember this is a japanese game and you will
need to have either a japanese saturn or a converter.This game is very
import friendly.Don't forget that you can charge up your dash attack.
Another thing to remember is your Dash isn't always for attacking.You
can bust through walls and other stuff with it.Remember that some
activites are more taxing on your gas then others.It isn't very fun to be
able to see the goal and then run out of gas.It has happened to me many
times.You can become invincible by picking up a car battery.Something
that doesn't play an important part in the game can but is good to know
is swimming.It can save your life.Just tap the jump button to swim.
Catching on fire is also a problem in this game.If you touch flames
you will burn.Tap the buttons to become normal.If you duck you can look
down.There are bonus levels called Star Rooms.You must find them in the
stage.After you complete one it will show up on your statistics screen.
When in a Star Room if you pause you can move the view around the room
with the D-pad.This is good for finding  the stars and making a strategy.
If auto-save is on you do not have to worry about saving your game.If it
is off then you will be asked at the end of each stage if you would like
to save.I prefer auto-save off.

_Gas_
Instead of an energy bar you have a Gas meter.Since your a taxi cab you
obviously need gas to run.So adding some difficulty to the game your
gas slowly depletes.Getting hit by an enemy takes a lot of gas out of you.
Dashing also takes away gas.Thankfully you can get more gass by collecting
little gas cans.This is an integrel part of the game.The lower your gas
gets the slower you move.Eventually you will run out of gas and then lose
a life.

_Attacking_
There are two ways to attack in this game.One is jumping(A,C and Y
buttons).When you jump on an enemy it will blow up.However,this doesn't
work on all enemies.Some enemies have spiked hats on.If you jump on them
you will get a nasty surprise.For those enemies you have to dash(B,X,Z,L
and R buttons).

_Dashing_
Mastering the dash technique is very important.It is also very easy.So
don't worry.Just press one of the dash buttons to dash.If you hold the
button in the dash will have more power.But the longer you hold it in
the more gas it will drain when you use it.You have to know when is a good
time to use it and when isn't.That is the key.It is pretty obvious.Don't
use it when you are almost dead.

_Dazed_
If you become dazed simply tap the buttons to get out of it.

_Info_
If you dash into a wall you will become dazed.

_Red enemies_
When you kill these they leave behind gas.Be sure to collect it.

_Little Taxi's_
These are extra lives.

_How long can my name be?_
1-5 letters.

_How long can my number be?_
It has to be four numbers.No more no less.

U.S. no.Europe I am not sure of.If you know don't hesitate to email me.
Please check the info section first though.

_Are there any secret characters?_
Not that I know of.If you know of any please submit them.Check info
section for details.

_How do I complete the level?_
Simply make it to the goal.

_Drama items_
Throughout the course of the game you get drama items.I am not sure of
the point of these items though.

_Gas drain_
Some things drain gass quicker then others.Here is a list of things that
drains gas quicker then walking
-Dashing
-Getting hit
-Being dazed
-Getting Pulled over by Harris
-Catching on fire

_Getting pulled over_
You can get pulled over if Harris catches you.To get away tap the
buttons.

_Getting ran over_
If you get ran over simply tap the buttons to straighten yourself again.

_Suspicious walls_
You can break through some walls.Just dash through them!

_Invinciblity_
Pick up the car battery to become invincible.Each time you kill an enemy
like this it shows a number.It lists how many you have killed.If anyone
knows the signifigance to this feel free to submit it.Proper credit will
be given.Thanks.

_Swiming_
Some levels contain water.It is only natural that you need to know how to
swim.Simplay tap the jump button to stay afloat.Do not let yourself sink
too far down.If you sink far enough you will be killed.

_Look down_
To look down press the down button.Deppy will duck.Hold Down and
eventually you will look down.

_Fire!!_
To put yourself out after catching on fire just tap the buttons.

_Star Rooms_
Star Rooms are basically bonus levels.The point is to collect all of the
neon stars.After you complete a Star Room it will show up on your
statistic screen at the end of every stage.Star rooms are scattered
throughout the game.

_Star Room Tip_
Pause the game.You can now use the D-pad to look around the room and see
the location of the stars.This can help you work out a strategy.Or
alternetivly you could use my walkthrough.
