There are 5 different parts to fix up. Mainly the attack ring, weight disc, spin gear and the blade base. There's an optional support parts for blade base. In this game, you start of with Takao/Tyson (I will be using "Tyson from now on). You also have 3 teammates. It's practically a team battle from TV series. *****Controls***** D-pad: Combine with other buttons to control your blade. A button: To confirm. Also in battle press A to launch attack on opponent. B button: to cancel Start and Select button: I don't know what are they used for. If anyone knows it, please e-mail me. L button: to move away from your opponent's Beyblade in battle R button: to move nearer to your opponent's Beyblade *****Battle Screen***** When you choose a team battle to battle with, you will see this screen --------1 1 1 1 XXX 1 1-------1 /--------------/ / / / 1 /----------------/ / / / / / 2 /-------------/ --------------- / / / / 3 /-------------/ ---------------/ / / /-------------/ 4 / / / /-------------/ Legends: xxx: Team name 1, 2, 3, 4:Team members' picture Press A to see their stats (which I don't think you will need it.

Next, you should see this screen: 1------------1 1-------------1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 AAA 1 1 BBB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1------------1 1-------------1 1------------1 1-------------1 1 YYY 1 1 zzz 1 1------------1 1-------------1 1---------------------------------------------------------1 1 / \ 1 1 ----KKK---- 1 1 \ / 1 1---------------------------------------------------------1 Legends: AAA: picture of the player BBB: Picture of opponent YYY: Name of player (e.g: Tyson) ZZZ: Name of opponent (e.g: Tala) KKK: Name of Beyblade You can change the Beyblade you want to use from here. Make sure you equipped the Beyblade before hand to the player more coming soon... *****Characters***** Tyson: The main character of course! Kenny: He says words after the battle and tells you what part you got. He also tells you if the part you want to change is improving your blade or worsening your blade. Mr Dickson: He's the one who give you your starting teammates and also appear at the end after you win the tournament. *****Technique learning level***** Lv 5: A dark tackling attack Lv 10: A special attack used in battle (depends on your bit beast) Lv 15: A special shooting way Lv 20: Defensive move Lv 25: new special shooting way Lv 30: Bit beast move (40 for some ppl) Lv 45: Ultimate bit-beast moves. Can only be used when life gauge is low. It also uses all your bit beast gauge That's all I know for now. If you know other level techniques I don't know, please e mail me *****General walkthrough*****(Note: Maps are in clockwise direction, and not the same in the game) Note: speeches is by my theory, as I'm not literate in Japanese You start off with Tyson, talking with Mr Dickson. He will introduce you your new members of the team. If you are expecting the characters form the TV series, then you are wrong! You get 2 thin guys and 1 fat guy you never seen before in the TV series. After doing some thrash talking, you are ready to battle! Map of hometown:(Refer to map) Main Map----Parts change----VS battle-------------------------1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 BBA clubhouse----Park----Beyblade Storage?----Code Area--4p battle Main Map: Going to the main map for battle Parts change: A place to change your Beyblade parts VS battle: Link up with a friend for a battle 4p battle: Linking 4 people up for a big time fight (free-for-all) Beyblade Storage?: A place where you view all your collected Beyblade parts? Code Area: A place where you input the codes to get new parts BBA clubhouse: change your team name. U can also change your team members afterwards Park: Not accessible for the moment OK. Now we have a team. We got Beyblades. We got Tyson as a leader. Time to start training. Choose the main map section. Now, we got a whole new world in front of us. Let's see Main map:(Refer to note) Hometown---Demolition boys---BBA 1 1 1 1 1 1 1st tournament--------The Majestics So let's see. The Majestics are 1 level lower than the other 2 teams. So if you are a beginner, try the Majestics. If you know this game well, try the demolition boys (I find that Demolition Boys offer better parts) Train until level 15 (at the very least). And you are ready for the tournament. OK If anyone doesn't know how to battle, here's how: Choose a team to battle with, pressing A, they'll show up a screen of the pics of your opponent. Press start to continue. Then you'll come across the pics of your team members. Choose who should go 1st, 2nd and 3rd.After choosing, you can choose your Beyblade for the character. Since there's no 2nd beyblade for now, juz press A. Then choose your shooting way. For now there's 1. Juz choose it. Then you'll see a ripcord, which is your pulling power. Stop the metre at the red area. Then you can start battleing. Look @ my tips section for battling info. ****1st tournament**** It's time for your first tournament! Have you trained to lv15 and upgraded your Beyblade? If done, let it rip! You'll face 3 rounds in this tournament. The first 2 are all in lv15, therefore you should pass them easily. But the attraction comes on the 3rd round. Who do we have here? It's the BBA team! Consisting of Kai, Ray, Max and finally, DAICHI! TRAITORS!! Tyson should be in the BBA team! Let's just thrash them once and for all! This battle should pose some problems to you as they are in lv18 and their leader, Daichi, uses a L spin gear most of the time. If you are using a R-spin gear, don't think about dodging it's attack mode. If you lose this tournament, you get a EZ-Grip launcher as a consolation price:).However, if u win this tourney, you get 4 EZ-Grip launchers. Here are its stats. Blue Ez launcher: Atk: +20 Def: +20 End: +10 Orange Ez launcher: Atk: +20 Def: +10 End: +20 (Please correct me if I'm wrong) Anyway, once you finished up with this first tournament, go to the parts change area and select the 2nd option, to switch their launchers. Once you done it for your all four members of the team, remember to update their parts. Coming soon.... ****Beyblade parts**** Coming soon ****Tips and tricks**** Press Up + A for a higher damage during attack modes Press Up + B for dodging enemy's attack (If you got higher stats) Press L to prevent enemy attacking you. Once you got your power gauge complete, press R while repeatedly pressing A Use Tyson to go against leaders of difficult groups. His attack is so high that you will make it seems like thrashing:) ****Frequently asked questions**** If you got any questions, please feel free to e-mail to me at diaboro_dungeon@yahoo.com.sg However, if you dare spam my e mail with stupid things, your name will be in the next version of this FAQ and you will be spammed with thousands... ****Credits**** Darkpsychic: For being my beta reader(She finally send the edited version after a long time) Broccoli: For producing such "not up to standard game" Beyblade: For giving me the interest to write this Cynikar: For clearing some of my doubts ****What I need**** 1) Beyblade parts stats 2) The level of the tournament people and how to beat them (I couldn't finish the game due to lack of time) 3) Other theories on how do get new teammates 4) Beyblade passwords ****Copyright**** This document is protected under Singapore and international copyright laws.
