**********  1. STARTING MENU TRANSLATIONS  *********

(This section is for those who imported the game but can't navigate the
Japanese menus. All menus are in order of top left, to right then moving down
to the next row if applicable)

When you start the game you will get two choices
"Story" (which will take you to the Game Settings) and "Data File".

Game Settings Menu:
Above will be a list of settings for the new game you will start.
I) Character, this will determine who you play, and if you start out alone or
together with the two main characters. The first option (default) is 1+2 and
has you controlling Kunio and has Riki as a sidekick. 2+1 is the opposite, 1 is
Kunio alone, and 2 is Riki alone.
II) Difficulty, Default is Normal, press right to make it harder, and left for
easier.
III) Friend, this sets the # of friends you can have join you, max of 4.
IV) Friendly Fire, Default is weapon damage only, left for all friendly damage
off, and right for on.
V) Foe, this sets the # of enemies you can have on screen, max of 4.
VI)Text Speed, If you're reading this FAQ this shouldn't be a big deal, default
is normal.

a) OK, will start the game with the settings displayed.
b) Edit, will allow you to change the game settings displayed above.
c) Screen Settings, takes you to another menu that allows you to change
individually the brightness of the background and objects.
d)Character, this will bring you to the data file screen and will ask you to
pick character 1, highlight the character you want to use as 1 and then press
A. Then pick a character file for the second starting character.

Data File Menu:
This screen should have the saved characters displayed, and four (assuming that
you have at least one character saved) options below.
a)OK, will exit this menu.
b)Status, press this while highlighting the file you want to check stats,
inventory, special moves, etc.
c)Erase, highlight the file you wish to erase and say goodbye.
d)Move, this will allow you to transfer your character to another GBA via the
link cable.


********  2. GAME SCREEN  ********

The In game screen has your character's name in the top left corner followed by
two bars. The top bar is your HP, and the bottom bar is your "Kiryoku" Which
acts as a modifier to all your stats. The colors of the bars reflect the % you
have: 100-76%=Blue, 75-51%=Green, 50-26%=Yellow, 25-0%=Red
In the top right corner is the amount of money you have.
Below the game screen is a black area that will display the name of the area
that you entered, and any conversations and comments during play.

********  4. SPECIAL MOVE LIST  ********

Next Update


********  5. IN GAME MENU  ********

Once you get the game going you can press start to get eight options at the
bottom of the screen.


********  6. CHARACTER STATS  ********

Your Character has ten different stats that determine their power. As well as
an Experience guage, and a hidden "honor" stat.

Panchi 1-128 (Punch) The higher the value the more damage punches will do, also
gives the punch a greater attack priority.

Kikku 1-128 (Kick) The higher the value the more damage kicks will do, also
gives the kick a greater priority.

Buki 1-128 (Weapon) The higher the value the more damage Weapon attacks will
do, also gives the attack a greater priority.

Bougyo 1-128 (Defense) The higher the value the greater the sucess rate of
blocks, also gives the block a greater priority.

Utareduyosa 1-128 (Toughness) The higher the value the better you can resist
the shock from attacks, and reduces the damage you recieve.

Pawaa 1-128 (Pow) Boosting this value will increase the Power of all of your
character's actions.

Supiido 1-128 (Speed) Boosting this value will increase the speed of all of
your character's actions.

Bane 1-128 (Jump) Boosting this value will increase the power of your jumps and
jump related actions.

Kiryoku 1-255 (Ki Power) When your HP is reduced to zero, some of your Ki will
be converted into a little HP automatically. Also keeping you Ki level high
will add a bonus to all of your stats.

Tairyoku 1-255 (HP) Your Hitpoints, When they are reduced to zero you will
respawn with 1/2 of your money. You can recover HP and boost HPmax with items.

The hidden "honor" guage is never visible but the game keeps track of it,
and your rating will be saved to your character. When you have a good honor
rating you more people will want to join your team. Raise your honor guage by
not hitting bosses while they're talking, not doing any dirty attacks, keeping
your partners alive, finishing all
fights that you start, and picking up all the money.


********  7. SHOP LIST  ********

Key: Store Name (translation) Eat in or Take out.
Item name (translation) . $ . Status Effects . (Extra Status Effects, some
items give you an extra effect when you consume two or three in a row.)
This list is a work in progress, when there is an entry like HP or KI with a
"?", then that means that you get some positive Ki or HP but I havent recorded
the actual ammount yet. With time I'll try to fill in the blanks, feel free to
contribute or point out mistakes, It's tedious work to do alone. Also when the
game is released in the US if someone could send me the English names for the
items so English speaking gamers can use this list as well.
