C) Tips and Tricks
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

* This is a Beat-'Em-Up game. So, just go and clear the way.

* To pick up throwable objects (box, bike, gas tank, concrete block...),  stay
 at them then press Y.

* While facing bosses, lot of minions will appear as well.Just ignore them and
 focus to the boss. Grab one enemy and throw to the others.

* I've used some Extended ASCII symbols in this FAQ.  To display it well, just
 open it by using:
 - Notepad (Windows XP, Windows Vista or later).
 - Internet Explorer, encoding: Western European Windows.
 - Firefox, encoding: Western (ISO-8859-1).
 I've also used  "fake" Justify align (by adding lots of spaces).  Therefore,
 please turn off all Spell Check functions (if available) to display this FAQ
 better.

* [INT], [VER], [TKS],...  are Search Codes.  Use the CTRL + F command to find
 these sections easily.

 Anything alse? Let's rock!
