1. Joinas
=========
This is the story mode.
When the story begins Whip and Midi are talking to an operator
about getting tickets for a live show at the Lazy Lion club.
Use this intro to make sure you answer the questions the way
you want to:
<Operator> Excuse me, who is this? (Boy|Girl)
<Operator> Is that right? Excuse me, what is your name?
Enter your name here and choose the bottom right icon to confirm.
The boy's default name is Whip. Confirm (Yes|No).
<Operator> Okay, and what is your partner's name?
Enter the name of the other character. The default girl's name
in Midi. Confirm (Yes|No).
<Operator> Thanks for your truthful entry.
Now you will be prompted as to whether or not you want to watch
the opening story scene.
(Yes|No)
Whip and Midi go to the Lazy Lion and are excited about seeing the
live band. They notice a shadow lurking about and chase after it.
Your character (Whip from now on) gets a closer look and falls
into the darkness.
When you get up Ranke is there and gets you to clap along to the
beat. A meter will show up at the bottom of the screen, just press
the A button when the big balls pass under the center.
A young man with a guitar will walk up to you next and tell you
that you're in Musey Town, then he'll walk away.
Ranke comes back and tells you that Musey Town is 1000 years ahead
of your world. Whip worries about Midi but Ranke tells him that
there might be a way back - by winning the Grand Jam. She says that
you can't win without a band, so the story begins. You have to
recruit members.
[Ranke joins]
Press A to clap. You do this to get people to pay attention to
you, potentially joining your band or having a session with you.
This is what you want to do throughout the whole game, walk around
screens clapping and talking to people until you've met with
everyone. I'm working on getting all of the locations *I* got them,
but they could be random.
After you session with villagers, if you did well enough you'll
get a piece of an instrument card. Use these to buy new instruments
from the stores in Fusion and House, thereby levelling up your
characters' playing abilities.
If at anytime you want to save, press Option and choose the
top-left box (Save-Load).
The main screens of Musey Town (the one you start on and the one
below it) don't have names, so I'm just going to call them MT(Good)
and MT(Bad), based on the face on the note for each.

2. Session
==========
Single
======
See below.
At Win
======
You need to connect two NGPs together to play this. I don't have
the capacity to do this, so I can't write up anything for it. I'd
assume it's the same as Single, only you can use two NGPs for it
instead of passing one around to everybody.
If you choose Single, you'll get the following options:

========
Play to the end of the song.
Who's going to be playing

Instrument Select
(choose your instrument [instuctions below in section 6])
Order of players
(1|2|3|4) [depends on number of people playing]
Name Entry
(enter your initials)
When the song is over you'll be asked if you want to play again:
(Yes|No)
For Me
------
Keep playing the session until there's one person left.
Who's going to be playing

Song Select
(choose your song [list below in section 7])
Instrument Select

When you are done you'll get a score card. Jazzy Egg'll come back
and ask if you want to continue (Yes|No).

I hope this guide helped you out, if there's anything else you
would like to see here, or if you have anything to contribute,
please let me know, and I'll be glad to (try to) help.
Thanks to SNK for making this game. It's too bad it wasn't
released here, it might have caught on. Maybe. They should have
for sure released Cool Cool Toon. That game rocks. Make sure to
check out Nicholas Allen Freeman's Cool Cool Toon FAQ at
