Section 1: Getting Started-
Hello, and welcome to my Nickeldeon GUTS Walkthrough
/FAQ-Sort-Of-Thingy, this will show you all the ins
and outs of the one and only (kinda disappointing,
but fun-to-some) Nickelodeon GUTS video game.
Before you start playing, be aware that this
game can be frustrating at times, but, if you
can make it to the Aggro Crag, you'll be okay
(if you beat the Aggro Crag, also, here's a fact,
Aggro Crag means "Aggressive Rock"!).
Now, BEFORE you do start, make sure you tap the a
button that toggles options (A, Start are the only
ones I know), once your done with setup
(these are the options and descriptions of them)-
Player: # of players, only 2 can play at once
Level (doesn't actually say level)-
Beginner (better if you're new), Advanced
(if you're feeling a bit lucky and want a better
challenge, even though it's hard enough...)
Music: Toggle Menu, In-Game and "Description" musical
themes (Why, oh why, would you want to turn this option
off? It's got the classic GUTS theme! and a dramatic
Aggro Crag theme!)
Event Setups: Shows you what the scoring is for events
(No instructions?? Come on, that's serious cheapness!)
Start Game: Starts the game (hey, isn't that a supprise?)
And, before you think you're done, you've
gotta choose if you want a "GUTS Show" or
"Single Event", Show is 4 events, Single Event
is obvious. Then you gotta select your GUTS color!
(Long and boring setup, right? Well, after the color,
you select your character, FINALLY!!) And one more
thing I must stress,
YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE 700 POINTS IN A SHOW TO
TACKLE THE AGGRO CRAG!! Fall even 1 point short,
and you'll miss out!
Section 2: Players-
These are REAL kids and they were immitated by the
SNES' amazing graphics (for it's time)

Whew!! That's a lot to read (and typing for me :), *ahem*)
A bit, one sided, huh?
Section 3: Events and how to do them!-
Here's the meat of the game (even though it's a bit
more like cheese, but, that's just me)-
Event 1- Attack:
Event Type: Aerial
Time Limit: 2:30
Usually the opener, this game gives you a
lacrosse stick and you gotta toss some sorta
tennis-like calls into a net (with a square frame) with
that stick! 5 points for regular shots
(by pressing the B button) and 10 points for a
"Special" (these are worth 2 regular shots in this event,
but are harder to hit, unless you've got ungodly timing!
They are harder, because your character does a "special move"!
You'll hear "Awsome!" or some other line from the announcer,
if you hit these!)!
TIP: Move to the FAR (until your character can't move anymore)
left, press down until you get in-between about the 4th and
5th "Notch" (Long "stripes" of the power measurement bar,
looks like a ruler!) You'll hit more shots this way!
Event 2- Tornado Run:
Event Type: Gym
Time Limit: 7:00
The second hardest event, you'll need a lot of patience
and great timing for this event! You'll need the five
following "keys" Left, Right, Down, Up, X and Y.
Up grabs onto poles, Left and right move (well, what
else did you expect?), Down slides (hold the diagnol
to slide, after you "run") and crouches, X does a
"Super Jump" (a bigger and more wacky jump than a basic
jump, but, easier to lose "health"!) and Y does a basic
jump (smaller than a Super Jump, but, usually gives you
better "foot placement" if you're "still" from landing).
TIP: You'll need to practice this event often to be great
at it. If your "stamina" (health) is a little low, let your
character breathe. If you go on to much and you're hit
without stamina, you'll automatically fail the event!
(This has happened to me at least twice in my "GUTS Career".)
Event 3- Spirals:
Event Type: Aerial
Time Limit: 2:30
An Attack "clone", you just do the same for this event
from that event. No more, no less.
TIP: The "Special" is a LOT harder in this event, but,
you can pull it off with practice! Remember, to do a special,
you MUST press X and Y together (not simultaneously, but
close to it.)
Event 4- Basic Training:
Event Type: Gym
Time Limit: 6:00
This is a *slightly* easier version of Tornado Run
and tends to be shorter than Tornado Run, BUT, you
need better reflexes here, as you have less time!
TIP: Your score is based on your time, with every second you
have left over, you have 1 point for each second, if you have
30 seconds left, you score 30 points! (Just like the other
"gym" event!) Also, the rules for the other Gym event applies!
Event 5- Slam Dunk:
Event Type: Aerial
Time Limit: 2:30
This has to be a bit frustrating at first, but is actually
the EASIEST event in the game's entirety! Just use B for a
Regular shot (a bit harder than a Special shot) and X and Y
for a Special (actually easier than a Regular shot!).
Tip: Just like the other Aerial events, move to the extreme
left and go to the 4 or 5th notch, let go of down,
do your shot and just let the ball go in! It's very easy, is
it not?
Event 6- The Aggro Crag:
Event Type: Mountain
Time Limit: 7:00
This is THE HARDEST event in the ENTIRE game! Not to
mention the most frustrating one, if you fall all the
way to the bottom of the course and have to climb all
the way back up! Watch for "Water Spouts" (the vertical
water things that'll eat some of your energy) and the
green rocks (they will take a huge chunck out of your
energy... :() Just like the 2 "Gym" events,
you get 1 point for every second left! You MUST hit all
"Actuators" (the GUTS term for the lights, or in this
case, the "sewer covers"... :))
TIP: Don't let the music get the best of you, the music is
adventurous and dramatic, but, don't let the
"pressure of the music" get you! Once the music starts,
keep a steady head! You shouldn't worry about the clock,
I mean 7:00 minuets? Jeez, you'd think taking the real Crag
would be harder than this! (Which I wouldn't know :() Just
keep playing! Even if you don't make it all the way
to the top of the Aggro Crag, you'll still take home the
"Glowing piece of the radical Rock". You absolutely
MUST hit all actuators before the last one goes down.
If you reach the top, you see a number of lit-up flags,
this represents the number of actuators you've hit! If
5 of the six flags are lit, stomp on the last one and
you'll beat the game!
Bonus Event:
Event Type: Aerial
Time Limit: 1:00
All you do is just knock off the "baseballs" from the wall.
It's just like the event "Off The Wall" (seen on the show!)
Hold up to jump, left and right to move, and just let your
out-of-control character knock them off! 1 Bonus Point for
each ball knocked off. Knock off every ball (which is
extremely hard) and you'll receive 1 point for each second
left on the clock. Failure to do so will only give you 1
point for each ball you knock off.
CONGRATULATIONS!! You beat the game AND are
taking home a piece of the rock! If you didn't win your
first time round, don't fret. There's always a second chance!
Plus, if you failed to make it to the top of the Crag, or,
missed one actuator
