Special Thanks =============================================================================== History of Jet Grind Radio 2000-2003 =============================================================================== Jet Set Radio first hit Japanese stores in November of the year 2000 on the Sega Dreamcast. It was one of the first games to feature cel-shading, a graphical technique that makes polygons to appear to be of cartoon origin. The game was not wildly successful in Japan, but it still had a good following. The premise of the game was you control different members of the tagging gang, the GG's. You battle or turf in Tokyo-To by going from territory to territory, spray painting whatever you can get your hands on, from walls, to billboards, to other people. Oh, did I mention that you do this all while on inline skates? Jet Grind Radio, the same game as Jet Set Radio, but for a United States audience, arrived on the US shores around the same time as it was released in Japan. As far as I know, the game is identical except for some name changes and language. Jet Set Radio Future, released for the Xbox in February of 2002, was also not a wild success, but had an instant cult following. The series reached its graphical peak, and arguably its peak overall with this game. The game is almost identical in regards to gameplay as Jet Grind Radio, but takes place in the future as the name states. With brand new technology, the game could expand to higher heights, as well as bigger worlds. Jet Grind Radio, for the Gameboy Advance, was released in the US in June of 2003. The game is not a direct port of the Dreamcast version, but the storyline is almost the same, as well as the levels. Some of the differences that you will notice from the very beginning are the top-down perspective, as well as certain areas are not in the Gameboy Advance version. The game is almost as enjoyable as the Dreamcast and Xbox counterparts, but due to control, and graphical issues, falls slightly short. This does not mean it is not a good game though. My review of Jet Grind Radio for Gameboy Advance can be found on gamefaqs.com at http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/review/R60916.html =============================================================================== Controls =============================================================================== Skate. . . . . . . : To skate, press the up arrow. You will move in the direction your character is facing. To turn left, press the left arrow. To turn right, press the right arrow. To stop, press the down arrow. Dash . . . . . . . : To dash, press the right trigger. Tag. . . . . . . . : To tag, press the A button, and then use the D-Pad if necessary. Jumping. . . . . . : To jump, press the B button. You can do grinding tricks by jumping onto grind able objects. Doing this while grinding makes you perform an air trick. While in a half pipe, you can do a trick by pressing the jump button at the peak of the pipe. Skate backwards. . : To skate backwards, press the up arrow, then the down arrow. This will make you skate backwards. To continue skating backwards, press the up arrow. You cannot dash while in this state, but you perform different tricks when grinding. Wall Ride. . . . . : To wall ride, take a certain angle to the wall, and jump into it. You will skate on the wall for a small amount of time. You can jump from wall to wall if the circumstances provide it. =============================================================================== Characters =============================================================================== ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= > Friendly ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ~ Definitions ~ Power: Amount of life the character has. Speed: How fast and how well the character is at doing tricks. Technique: How good the character is at graffiti. The more you have here, the harder it is to do the combos for tagging, but you get more points. ~ Beat ~ Power: 6 Speed: 7 Technique: 6 Can Capacity: 20 Cans Beat is the leader of the GG's. You start with him in the tutorial also. He wears huge headphones, green sunglasses, and an orange shirt with matching skates, black pants, and gloves. ~ Piranha ~ Power: 8 Speed: 8 Technique: 10 Can Capacity: 15 Piranha is a black girl who wears red ski visors, yellow gloves, a revealing white shirt, with match pants and gray skates. ~ Tab ~ Power: 8 Speed: 5 Technique: 5 Can Capacity: 30 Tab wears a blue beanie that covers down to his nose, and a matching jumpsuit.

He came to the GG's to ask for help in getting Grind City back after the Golden Rhinos move into town. His distinctive trait is the large boom box on his shoulder he carries at all times and the huge gold chain on his chest. He wears a yellow shirt, with a black jacket, pants and skates. He also wears a black hat. ~ Mew ~ Power: 7 Speed: 7 Technique: 8 Can Capacity: 20 Mew is an Asian girl with a weird taste in clothes.

They are slow, and carry no weapons. Their attack is jumping at you and grabbing you. You can shake them off by dashing, jumping, or grinding. They first appear in Shibuya GG. ~ Captain Onishima ~ Captain Onishima is the Captain of the Tokyo-to police force. His weapon is a long barreled pistol that does damage if you are not dashing or grinding. You can disable him for a short amount of time by dashing over him and tagging him. He first appears in Shibuya GG. ~ SWAT ~ A slight upgrade from the officers, these are officers that carry shields and gas guns. Their attack is to gas you with tear gas. They are easy to avoid, as they are slow and the gas is easy to run from. They first appear in Benten Boogie. ~ Helicopters ~ A very annoying foe, the helicopters shoot heat seeking missiles at you. They take considerable damage. The easiest way to avoid these is run. They first appear in Monster of Kogane. ~ Soldiers ~ Almost an exact replica of officers, except that wear army camouflage. They are just as useless as officers also. They make their first appearance in Graffiti High. ~ Tank ~ A big army tank. Not much else can be used to describe it. Stay away unless you want to get pelted with a cannon. They do not move though, so staying away will be easy. They make the first appearance in Graffiti High. ~ Noise Tank/Poison Jam/Love Shockers ~ These are the bosses for the first three areas of Tokyo-to. I included them in the same section because they all do the same thing. Skate around in predictable patterns. You spray three of them for each level, ten times. They first make their appearance in Noise Reduction, Kogane Circus, and Love Attack, respectively. ~ Rokkaku Soldiers ~ These are the exact same thing as soldiers, and officers, except they have new suit. They first show up in Tag Or Die. ~ Assassins ~ The first real opponents on foot, these assassins are smarter then the previous characters. They also have a nasty electric whip. Avoid these as much as possible as they hurt a lot when you are ganged up. They make their appearance in Tag Or Die. ~ Shock Troops ~ These are purely obstacle enemies. When I say that, I mean that they do not chase you. They do not even move. Shock Troops stand at the end of certain rails and every couple of seconds send an electric shock through the rail. This can get annoying, especially on Final Stage. Shock Troops come into the game on the level Rock N Roll. ~ Flame Squad ~ Flame Squads are a deadly adversary. I would suggest you stay away at all costs. They deplete your health fast, and effectively. They are on the slow side though, so escaping should not be a problem. If they are near a tag you need to spray, lure them away from the tag and then attack it. They make their first appearance in Burning Benten. ~ Sniper ~ These are annoying more then anything else. They do not move. Snipers can target you from long distances, and you will be able to tell when they are targeting you because of the red crosshair that is over your character. Keep moving and grinding to avoid these. They first appear in Fight or Flight. ~ Jetpack Soldiers ~ Jetpack soldiers can float in the air. They are stationary just like the snipers. I only seem them as a thread in Final Stage because in the other level they are in you can avoid them pretty easily. They first appear in Fight or Flight. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Other ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ~ Goji Rokkaku ~ Goji Rokkaku is the owner of the Rokkaku Group. He is also the man behind all the trouble. He does not appear in the game except when the story is being told. He employs the Golden Rhinos to take over the streets. =============================================================================== Tips =============================================================================== This section is for tips that will directly help you beat the game. For secret stuff, see the secret section. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Spiral Skip ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= To skip the entire top floor of the spiral in the housing district, and just jump onto the spiral, here is what you do. On the first set of stairs, grind the outside railing. After the rail turns, jump and you will be on the spiral grind now. =============================================================================== Walkthrough =============================================================================== ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Gum's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= This is basically just prepping you for things to come. All you have to do is get used to how you control your player. There are three challenges, but they are not difficult at all. First Challenge. . : Skate towards Gum and stop. Second Challenge . : Skate and press the R button. Turn before you run into anything and make your way to Gum. Third Challenge. . : Skate towards the railing and grind it. Fall off and make your way to Gum. Congrats! Gum is now playable. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Tab's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tab will get you acquainted with the tagging aspect of Jet Grind Radio. Very simple, so nothing to worry about. Do the missions and Tab will join you. First Challenge. . : Pick up the spray can and press A where the red arrow is. Second Challenge . : Go forward and jump from building to building, grabbing the spray paint cans, until you are at the red arrow. Do your spray thing and finish the mission. Congrats! Tab has now joined your crew. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Shibuya GG ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 5 Large. . : 5 X-Large. : 1 Total. . : 11 JET : ??? You start off on the top of a bus stop. Grab the cans of paint and let's get started. Jump down from the depot and spray paint all the buses (1-4). These are easy because the officers do not come until after the third tag laid down. After you do that, go to the south and grind the railing going east and spray paint the two small tags (5-6). Captain Onishima should arrive after you jump off. Head northwest and behind the railing is another small tag. Tag it (7). Now grind the railing that is directly south, heading north. Jump up onto the small bus stop. Wall grind the billboard and tag it (8). From here, go to the north and use the dump truck to get up onto the building to the east. Spray paint the large tag (9) and jump to the next building. Tag another large tag (10) and jump again to the next building. Spray paint the x- large tag (11). Congrats! You have beaten Shibuya GG. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Benten Boogie ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 8 Large. . : 5 X-Large. : 1 Total. . : 14 JET : ??? You start out in the middle of a small street in Benten-Cho. There are 14 red arrow tags in this level. This is also the first appearance of what I like to call SWAT. First, start out by collecting the nearest cans of spray paint. When you are done with that, tag the three tags in the upper right hand corner of the map. These are two larges, and one x-large tags (1-3). After this, go western and paint the wall with your graffiti (4). Officers will arrive, but they are not a big problem that you have to worry about yet. Go south and tag the four arrows that are grouped together. It's three small tags, and one large (5-8). You can use the rail to quickly tag the two southern tags in this group. After that, continue south to the two tags that are close by to each other. Tag. That is one small and one large (9-10). Now, go tag the northern most tag in the map that is available. It is a small tag (11). Beware of Captain Onishima who arrives with SWAT. You do not have to really worry about SWAT because they are on the west side of the map and you are on the east and the remaining tags are all small tags. Jump on the rail and tag the wall that is coming up (12). Jump from the rail to the next rail and tag the two remaining small tags (13-14). Congrats! You have completed Benten Boogie. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Mew's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Now that you are familiar with the basics of the game, Jet Grind Radio pumps up the volume and you now have to actually jump from railings to railings. First Challenge. . : Jump on the left rail and before you hit the turn in the rail, jump. You should land in perfect position to keep on railing. Now, wait until you are on the final stretch and jump over the fence at the end. Second Challenge . : This one is also easy. Go forward and stick to the right railing. That way you can just walk off the building and onto the rail. Continue doing circles and jump at the very end. Third Challenge: Things get interesting on this one. If you take your time, it should be no problem. First, grind up the ramp and jump at the end to reach the center circle. If you are good you can just keep going forward and grind on the wires, but if you are new to the game, you should stop on the circle, line yourself up with the wire, and then just walk onto it. Jump over the fence and you have defeated this challenge. Congrats! Mew has now joined the GG's. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Monster of Kogane ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 7 Large. . : 3 X-Large. : 1 Total: 11 JET: ??? This level is not as difficult as it looks. Officers are patrolling the streets when you start. You start at the deepest part of the guide. There is an x-large tag right next to you, but first grab the three spray cans and grind your way up to the second level of the map. Go through the city, and ignore the officers. Turn right when you hit a wall. Spray the small tag that is to your northeast (1). Continue going southeast and jump on the railing to the north. You will collect a bunch of paint cans. You will have to jump off the railing to get seven spray cans that are hovering above a building. Jump off the railing and to the first level to the x-large tag. Tag it (2). Grind back up to the second level. Tag the red arrow that is on the road to your left (3). Captain Onishima arrives after the third tag. Now, go back to main road and grind the benches, spraying two small tags (4-5). Make your way up the stairs, the fastest way being to grind up the fence. Drop down onto the buildings that were built on the second level. Make your way to the west. Spray the small tag that is on the wall (6). You will have to jump down, so watch out for the manhole. Go back all the way to the buildings you just jumped from, and go to the east. Do the same thing with the tag #6 here on another small tag (7). Go back up the stairs one last time. I would grind the railings directly north of the second to third level stairs and pick up some spray cans if you are low. Make your way to the three arrows in the upper left hand corner of the map. Spray the most eastern arrow (8). You now have helicopters called on you. Hurry and they will not both you. Head west and spray the most northern tag that is available (9). You can grind the pipes to get there fast. Skate south to the next tag area and spray it (10). Take the southern road and jump over the rail and onto the buildings from the second level. There should be a pinkish-red roof, and then a red roof. There are two of these total on the level, use the most southern one. Grind the red roof and jump at the end. You will land on telephone wires. Jump off the wires as soon as you get on them and make your landing next to the final tag (11). Congrats! You have beaten Monster of Kogane. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Garam's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Garam does not talk much, but he is a mean skater. There are three challenges, each more difficult then the last. Not difficult though, except for the last one just because it's hard to judge where the steel beam is. First Challenge. . : This is where you are introduced to wall riding. Grind the closest railing northbound. Jump from it and land onto the next railing that heads south. Jump off whenever you want. Make your way to the north wall and go directly east at it. Jump at it, and you will wall grind. After you are done, go to Garam and stop. Second Challenge . : This challenge is simple jumping and grinding. Grind the north rail going northbound. Jump and land on the wooden fence. Jump again and land on the chain link fence. Grind all the way up the fence, and before it ends, jump again. Land on the red roof. At the end of the roof, jump once more. You should make it all the way to the wooden fence. If you land on the railing, try and jump onto the fence. Grind to the end of the two wooden fences and jump off, turning as sharply as you can toward Garam. Stop. Third Challenge: This one is a little difficult because it is hard to judge where the next grind surface is. Jump to the concrete island. Turn yourself towards the red steel beam. Dash towards it and fall off the island onto the beam. As soon as it turns, jump. You will be on target for the next beam. Now when the next beam turns, you have to jump, but turn slightly to line up with the next steel beam. From here on, it's a cakewalk. Jump off the beam immediately and onto the wooden railing. Before the wooden railing turns, jump off of it, and onto the building. Jump off the building before it ends and onto the wooden railing. Grind all the way up to the second level, and jump off. Make your way to Garam and stop. Congrats! Garam has joined your crew. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Love Trap ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 4 Large. . : 3 X-Large. : 4 Total. . : 11 JET : ??? This level contains three different levels. There is the road level, which is where you start, the playground that is the second level, and then the highway, which is the third level. Captain Onishima will be roaming the playground and a group of officers will be roaming the road level. You start in the middle of two sets of overpasses. Go fill up your can capacity and return back to the road level. Go to the west most tag that is on the road level. It is an x-large tag (1). Go south and tag the large arrow (2). Continue back to the main road and tag the arrow that is before the first overpass (3). Move east again and tag the arrow in the middle of the overpasses (4). Make your way to the playground level. Go all the way west and spray the small tag on the back wall (5). SWAT team will arrive now, but they just roam around on the main road, where you already got everything. Go east and spray another small tag that is on the side of an elephant slide (6). Continue going east and tag the two small arrows that are on billboards (7-8). Grind the trunk of an elephant slide and jump onto the highway. Make your way to the east, preferably grinding the rail in the middle eastbound so you pick up paint cans. Go ahead and spray the two x-large tags on the east wall (8-9). Hopefully you will have used up enough time so that you can grab some more spray cans grinding the middle rail westbound. When you get to a gap in the highway, jump off the rail, and onto a red beam. Jump again and you can land on the other side of the highway. Tag the last x-large graffiti on the north wall. Congrats! You have beaten Love Trap. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Graffiti High ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 15 Large. . : 3 X-Large. : 2 Total: 20 JET: 25000 This is the first level that combines multiple maps. You start in the railroad station, go into what I call market circle because of the circle in the middle of the area (consists of two levels, upper and lower), and then you end in the housing district. You start Graffiti High in the middle of a railroad station. Begin by getting all the spray cans in this level. The first spray cans are on one of the rails, the next ones are on the rail below it, and it goes on until you have all the spray cans. Go to the north wall and quickly spray the two small tags (1-2). Grind your way to the entrance to the market circle. Jump down from the fenced in area and make your way to the northern most part on the low level. Spray the x-large arrow (3). Onishima arrives with a group of what I think are soldiers from the military. Quickly make your way to the ramp on the southwest. Use it to jump up into the middle circle. Use the north wire to grind north, and jump before it ends to reach a tag on the upper level (4). Jump down and make your way east. Jump on the rail going northbound and spray away (4-5). Do your best to grind through the entire north half of the map, spraying as you go. If you fall, tanks will appear in the southeast and southwest areas. They do not move at all. If you make it all the way through, they will not show up until you are done with the map. Either way, they do not inflict too much damage since you stay away from them from here on out. The remaining sprays in this area are all smalls (6-11). End up in the west corner of the map. Use the closest ramp to jump up onto the second level where the map is connected to the housing district. Captain Onishima and his soldiers WILL follow you into the next area, so look out. Jump down into the housing district and onto the rail to the east going northbound. Spray two small tags (12-13) and jump over the gap in the rail. Spray another small tag (14) while grinding. Jump off after you are done with that tag and make your way to the building that is directly west. Spray the large tag that is on the south wall of the building (15). Move your way on the west side of the building and spray the small tag (16). Continue going northwest to another building. Spray the western most tag that is a large tag (17). It is on the western side of the building. Go east, south of the building you just sprayed on, and grind the rail while tagging two small tags (18-19). Make sure you have enough cans of paint for an x-large tag. When you do, make your way up the stairs on the same building. See the tips section for a way to completely cut out going up the next set of stairs. Grind your way down the spiral and jump at the very end. Spray the final tag that is x-large (20). Congrats! You have beaten Graffiti High. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >No. 540 ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 6 Large. . : 2 X-Large. : 3 Total: 11 JET: ??? You start in a building, and it has no tags in it, except for some that are not required to beat the level. Max out your can capacity and head to the lower left hand corner and exit. You are now in the middle of a junkyard. When you exit, follow the building wall to the south. Go north after the building and spray the x-large tag (1). Backtrack to the entrance of the building but keep skating passed it. After the building, there will be a pack of junked cars. Jump on them and make your way to the wall, where a large tag awaits (2). Go east and make your way out of the enclosed lot. Grind the steel fence northbound and jump off and go north. Spray the x-large tag (3). Soldier will now roam the center lot. Go southeast and jump on the steel fence to grind it. Slide off of the fence and onto the roof of the main building. Fall down one level, where there are two x-large tags (4- 5). After you finish off the fifth tag, helicopters will appear. They do not seem to move at all though. All that remains now are six small tags. To cut that down to three, fall down a level and make your way west to the three tags. Tag the most west one (6). To get the other two, you will have to wall grind the wall; spray, then jump and wall grind the next wall, and spray again (7-8). Make your way back to the area where you tagged the first arrow. Around that area is a small tag that you will have to wall grind and jump just like you did previously (9). Continue southeast, but instead of stopping at the building, keep going. You will eventually reach an area where there is a wall to your north. There are two small tags on there. Tag them (10-11). Congrats! You have beaten No. 540. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Noise Reduction ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= JET: 34000 I consider this a boss level. The object of this level is not to tag walls, or billboards, but to tag three Noise Tanks ten times each. I do not feel there is really a way to walkthrough this level. I will give you advice though. Defiantly use a speedy person. Before you head over to the Noise Tanks, make sure you have at least ten spray cans so that you can take out one enemy before you have to reload. If you lose track of someone, look to your map to see where the enemies are. Do this as quickly ass possible. The Noise Tanks are really slow, and simply dashing will allow you to keep up with them. Hopefully you will be able to beat this level, as it is very easy. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Kogane Circus ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= JET: 44000 This is almost identical as the Noise Reduction, except you are going after Poison Jam. The best advice on this map is do not fall into the sewage. It will only slow you down. The only obstacles in this map is the gap in the middle, and barrels which you will have to go around in order to chase the Poison Jam. Hopefully you will be able to beat this level, as it is very easy. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >YoYo's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Use your fastest tagger that you have now, which is Beat. There are a couple of shortcuts, so do not follow the suggested lines. Listen to this guide instead. You start in the railroad station. Dash forward and jump, landing on a rail to grind. Pick your speed up by jumping and landing back on the rail. You will now make a move to the market circle, so jump, and turn southbound when the time calls for it. Instead of going to the circle and grinding, you can cut some time off by jumping down. Grind the closest rail northbound, and jump off of it at the end and onto another rail. You can jump from this rail into the connecting alley to the housing district easily. Jump down and grind the rail northbound, jumping when the gaps get in your way. At the first dump truck, jump off of the rail and head to the stairs that are to the west. Grind the outer rail, and here's why. When you grind up all the way, take the turn, and then jump again, you will land on the spiral grind, expanding your lead greatly. Jump at the end of the rail and pick up some spray cans. Make your way to the connecting path to the business district. The walkway's are near the dump truck that you jumped from. Grind the left railing, and when you get to the last turn, jump immediately afterwards to jump over the fence. After that, hug the west wall and keep dashing. When you get to the stairs, grind the railing closest to the wall, northbound. Tag the arrow and you are done. Congrats! YoYo has joined your crew. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Love Attack ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= JET: 44000 This is another boss level where you have to tag the back of the Love Shockers. There are really no obstacles that you face. Just tag the bag of the Love Shockers. Use the railings to go up the hills faster. Hopefully you will be able to beat this level, as it is very easy. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Gum's Challenge 2 ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Instead of the GG's being forced to do a challenge to have someone join you, you turn the tables on Cube in this challenge. Gum will do a nice set of grinds and you will have to control Cube and play follow the leader. First Challenge. . : Jump and grind on the first railing to the east. Jump just before the end. You will make it to the next railing. Do the same thing on the next railing, and you will make it to another railing. The next jump you have to turn your body 90 degrees to the left to make the next railing. Grind out the rest of the rail and stop next to Gum. Congrats! You let Cube join the GG's. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Beat's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Beat challenges Combo to a race in this one. Just like the last race there is a massive shortcut that will cut a good portion out of the level. You start on top of a bus depot. Fall down and head northeast. Continue heading northeast, but instead of turning right and going into the sewers, grind up the overpass and up the elephant trunk onto the highway. Now, grind the middle railing going northbound and after you fall off, keep skating in that direction until you are able to pick up a couple of spray cans. You only need one so do not bother getting all of them. Backtrack the way you came, grinding on the middle rail going southbound. Jump when the railing stops and there is a big gap in the highway. You will fall onto a steel beam. Jump again and you will be back on another middle railing. Jump off the railing and head southwest. Enter the big hill section; take the route to your west. Use as many railings as you can. When the road turns south, make sure you use the railings that are as close to the east buildings as possible. You will have to jump a couple of times to clear the gaps in the rails. Jump off the rail before it turns northeast and up some stairs. You will most likely overshoot the tag position if you do not know where it is, so backtrack up the hill and spray. Congrats! Combo is now a part of the GG's. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Tag Or Die ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 5 Large. . : 7 X-Large. : 3 Total: 15 JET: 25000 You can only use Cube and Combo for the next sections. I prefer to use Combo because he can take a bigger beating then Combo. You start out in the middle of Grind City with a bunch of Rokkaku henchmen near you. There are five or six levels, so this guide might be hard to understand, but the actual map is very easy. Let's start off by filling up your can capacity. Let's start off by getting the most south tag. You have to make your way around the chain link fence and enter the court. The tag is on the wall (1). Replenish your can capacity, and leave the court. Go around the fence until you reach a tower with an arrow on it. Tag it (2). Now let's head to the west and get the large tag on the building wall along with the x-large tag (3- 4). Make your way to the north building and tag the two small arrows (5-6). After that, go east to the last two tags on this level, an x-large tag and a large tag (7-8). After that Rokkaku Assassins will appear. Their attack is an electrified whip. It can be annoying, but guess what? We are done with this level and will never see ground floor again! Make your way up the eastern buildings stairs. On the second floor, there is a large tag that is on the southeast wall, tag it (9). Move on up to the next floor, where there is an x-large tag, again on the southeast wall of that level (10). Move on up to the next floor. Grab some cans, and get ready to do some grinding. Grind the most western rail northbound. Before it turns, jump off and onto the blue rail. This will take you to the top of the north building. Go down the stairs and tag the large arrow (11). Backtrack up the stairs, and grind the blue rail that is on the east side. This will take you to the west building. From the roof, go down the west set of stairs. Tag the small tag right in front of you (12). Make your way northeast and get the next small tag (13). Go down another flight of stairs and tag a large graffiti (14). On the same level, make your way to the southwest wall, where you will meet the final large tag (15). Congrats! You have beaten Tag Or Die. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Rock N Roll ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 5 Large. . : 6 X-Large. : 1 Total: 12 JET: 25000 You begin in the same map as Tag Or Die, but you start out in the southern court. Rokkaku soldiers will be roaming the main level of the map from the beginning. From the start, fill up on cans. Now that you are full, make your way to the west building. There is a large tag on it (1). Turn around and go to the east building. There is another large tag on that one (2). Go to the next level using the dump truck and then continue all the way up to the top, ignoring the two tags. On the roof, use the west rail and before it turns, jump off of it and onto the blue rail. This will bring you the north building. Go down a set of stairs, and tag the large arrow here (3). Assassins will now be dispatched, but they are only allowed to walk around the main level. Continue down another set of stairs, where there are two large tags (4-5). After your fourth tag, Shock Troops will show up, but do not worry about those yet. After your fifth tag, helicopters will appear. Jump down to the ground level and tag the two small arrows that are on the north building (6-7). Make your way to the west building. Get on the second floor, where a large tag awaits you (8). Make sure you have at least two cans of spray. On the same level that you are on, go to the most northeast corner of it, and ride the lower green rail. This will bring you to the middle tags (9- 10). These are both small and you just need to tag them and continue grinding to the east building. Jump onto the east building. On the east building, go up a flight of stairs, and there is a small tag awaiting you (11). Tag it, and make your way to the southeast wall of this building. There is the final tag of the map, an x-large (12). Congrats! You have beaten Rock N Roll. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Explosion ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 8 Large. . : 11 X-Large. : 5 Total: 24 JET: 25000 The remaining levels are all combination of previous levels. The key being to make sure you have as many cans as you can carry, constantly reloading them. Explosion deals with the Shibuya-Cho section of the map. There is a sewer area connecting to the playground area, but there is no use going there so do not even think about it. Rokkaku Soldiers are roaming the streets from the get go, though they are weak and pose no threat. You start on top of the bus depot. In this section, there are a total of ten tags, so make sure you have all of them before going on. Fill up on cans and let's get started. Go to the west most bus and tag the large arrow (1). Skate northeast to the next bus and another large tag is there (2). Again, skate northeast to a pair of buses. On the north bus, there is a small tag (3), and on the south bus, there is a large tag (4). Change directions and head straight south. Grind the rail northbound, getting the two small tags (5-6). The bomb squad will show up after you jump off the rail. At the end, jump and turn your body 90 degrees to the left. Grind the rail going northbound. Jump up onto the small bus stop. Wall grind the billboard and get the small tag (7). Continue going north and use the dump truck as a ramp to get onto the building the truck is facing. Up there is a large tag (8). Jump to the next building over, and then jump once more and tag the x-large arrow (9). Drop down a level, and head southwest. Along the wall is another small tag, and the final one of this section (10). Exit this section and head to the next area. Make sure and replenish your supply of cans. There are nine tags in this area. 10+9=19. From where the bus station connects to the current area, make a north turn into the alley and go all the way to the end where an x-large tag will be waiting on the northeast wall (11). Go back the way you came, stopping along the way to get the large tag on the northeast wall (12). Get back on the main street, going northeast. Before the first overpass, there is another large tag on the northwest wall (13). Now go past the first overpass, and between the two overpasses will be a large tag (14). Make your way up the stairs and into the playground section of the map. Start from the west. On the northwest wall, there is a small tag (15). Continue to follow the wall pasted the first elephant slide to the spray the next small arrow (16). Pass the second elephant slide and head southeast. On the billboard will be the last small tag of the level (17). Grind up the elephants trunk and onto the highway. Grind the middle rail northbound, and continue going that way until you come across a wall with two x-large tags (18-19). You are now done with the tagging of this section, so go back to the middle rail to the southwest. Grind it all the way to the gap in the highway, and jump. You will land on a steel beam. Quickly jump again and land on the middle railing again. Jump off and head southwest into the opening for the next section. This is the hills section. There are five tags in the area. 10+9+5=24. Make sure you only have 5 left on your pause menu; otherwise you might as well restart now. Go down the east road, grinding the western rail. After it turns into the alley, jump off and head directly south. You should land on top of a building. After that, jump down another floor that is directly south. Here is the first tag of this section (20). Head southwest, grinding the railing. When the rail ends, stop, and turn southwest. Along the wall is another large tag (21). After you get that tag, jump onto the new rail going southbound. Jump off at the next gap, and turn left 90 degrees. Try and land on the rail, but if you do not, just keep following the direction of the rail and you will eventually find a tag on the northwest wall (22). Back track to the main road you just came from and jump on the next rail. After it turns northeast, jump so it does not take as long to get up the steps. Continue dashing northeast until you meet a billboard with a red arrow waiting (23). Here is the tricky part. Head southeast and jump over the railing and onto the ground. Turn as hard as you can while in air so that you can land as close as possible to the arrow, as it is directly below to wear you just jumped. Hurry up and tag the last x-large tag (24) before time runs out. Congrats! You have beaten Explosion! ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Piranha's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= This is as hard as it gets folks. By now you should have mastered the games controls and it will be really simple. First Challenge. . : This one is a bit tricky. You must start by jumping on to the rail to the northeast. A little more then halfway through, jump off and slightly turn. Hopefully you will land on the next rail. Jump off of it and over the crossing railing. Make your way to Piranha and stop. Second Challenge . : This one is pretty simple. Go into the half pipe, and jump up and back into the half pipe. Make your way and do the same exact thing, except grabbing the spray can. Do the jump once more on the southwest side and then make your way to the tag and do another jump. Spray during this jump, and make your way to Piranha for completion. Third Challenge: This one is also very simple. You must jump from bus stop to bus stop to bus stop. Pretty much just make sure you are dashing and jumping to the bus. If you land on the bus, you might have to jump off of it and onto the blue overhanging. It's an error in the game that is unfortunate. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Benten Burning ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 9 Large. . : 6 X-Large. : 4 Total: 19 JET: ??? This is one of those maps where you are going to get hit, no matter what you do. The best way to avoid being hit is to lure your enemy away from the tag you are trying to spray. With that said, three of the four areas you have to go through contain a Rokkaku Soldier squad, and a couple of Assassins. Let's begin. You start out in the railroad station. Fill up your can capacity to as much as you can, while getting the only tag in here, a small one on the northeast wall (1). After that, make your way southeast to the entrance to the market circle. There are four tags in this area. 1+4=5. The first one to go for is the one directly north. It is an x-large one (2). Watch out for Assassins though. When they get close, disengage, and lure them away. Then come back and finish off the tag. After that, go slightly to the east and get the small tag (3). After that, go back west and grind the rail, spraying a tag (4). Jump, grind another rail and spray once again (5). Use the ramp you are near to jump into the housing district. In the housing district, there are nine tags. 1+4+9=14. Follow the northeast wall and spray the two large tags, and the one x-large tag (6-8). Watch out for Assassins once again. After that, make your way west and along the northwest wall is another large tag (9). You have to act quickly for the next tag. Continue on south to the building and on the southwest side of the building is another large tag (10). After that, the Flame Squad will appear. These guys are deadly. Quickly make your way northeast and spray the two small tags (11-12). Make sure you have enough for a x-large tag. When you do, go ahead and do the Spiral Skip that is describe in the Tips section. Spray the x-large tag (13). Now make your way to the final tag in this section that is all the way south (14). After that, use the north overpass to go into the business district. There are five tags in the business district. 1+4+9+5=19. It does not matter which tags you spray in what order in this section. I would start with the one that is near the middle (15), and make my way counter clockwise, spraying the two small ones (16-17), the x-large one (18) and then finally finishing off the level with the last small one (19). Congrats! You have beaten Burning Benten. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Fight or Flight ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 19 Large. . : 2 X-Large. : 5 Total: 26 JET: ??? This stage is just like the last couple of stages. You will have to go through three different levels, which include the shantytown, sewer, the junkyard building, and finally the junkyard. You will need to use a lot of cans, so I suggest using Tab, even though its still easily accomplished using Beat. Starting off, grind your way up the stairs. Make your way all the way northeast. At the end of the road, turn southeast, and grind the rail so you pick up a bunch of spray cans. Jump from rail to house to rail when the time comes. When you are on the rail going northwest, and near the top, jump down to where you started. Spray the x-large tag (1). Make your way northwest and enter the sewer. When you get to the half pipe area, go northwest. Grind your way everywhere in this area. Grind the west side of the half pipe here. Watch out for the snipers Spray the two small tags (2-3) and then reverse directions and go southeast. Jump onto the east side of the half pipe and continue grinding until you hit another small tag (4). After this, troops will arrive in the junkyard. Do not worry about them, as they are weak. Make your way to the middle bridge so you can jump over the center and onto the other side. Jump off the grind and into the second half pipe area. Grind the northwest side and tag two more small tags (4-6). Jump off and onto the other side of the tags. When you see the next arrow, jump off. This is an x-large tag (7). Move southwest and tag the final of this area, a small tag (8). After this, Jetpack soldiers will arrive. Go northeast and make your way out of this area and into the junkyard building. There are four tags in the upper level of the building. 8+4=12. Fill up on cans by grinding the rail around the center lot. Make your way up the stairs in the southeast by grinding. Watch out for snipers. Jump the gap, and then jump off the rail. Tag the small tag on the northeast wall (9). Make your way southwest and tag the remaining three in this level (10-12). Jump down a level and fill up on cans again. Leave the area through the west corner. There are seven tags in this area. 8+4+7=19. Make your way to the ramp in the southeast. Go up the ramp and on the northeast wall is a small tag (13). Turn northwest and go through the gap to get to the second level of the building. Spray the two x-large tags (14-15). If you do not have enough cans to get an x- large tag and three small ones, return back into the building and grab some more. Otherwise, make your way to the northwest wall off the center lot. There are three small tags arranged in a way where you can tag the first one, wall grind the second one, and then jump and wall grind, and then jump again to get to the third one (15-18). Try your best, and if you mess up, keep trying. Head back to wear you started this wall grind festival and leave the center lot, and grind the railing northbound. Jump off and make quick work of the final tag in this area, an x-large (19). Make your way north and exit into the shantytown for the final area. There are seven remaining tags. 8+4+7+7=26. Go southeast and when an opening in the southwest all opens, go in there and spray the large tag (20). Go southwest and grind the pipe. Hit the small tag (21). After that, head southeast and come to the next tag, a small one (22). Jump onto the top of the buildings from level two, and go southwest. Be careful here. Try and jump and spray the small tag on the northwest wall (23). Do not fall into the manhole. Go southeast and spray the large tag on the north wall (24). Continue southeast and then turn northeast, grind the benches, and jump the gap. When you hit the next bench, be ready to spray another small tag (25). All you need now is one can of spray. Make your way up the stairs, either walking or spraying. When you get to the top, go onto the buildings from the second level again, but make your way northeast. Try and do the same thing you did on tag #23 (26). Congrats! You have beaten Fight or Flight. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Slate's Challenge ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= You are probably thinking, oh no, not another race! Do not worry at all. There is a shortcut in here that will let you have 20 seconds of spare time if you do it right. You start off on the boardwalk of the shantytown. Do not follow where Slate is going. Instead, grind the southeast rail northbound. Jump from rail to house to rail and keep going. Grind up the stairs, after the fence runs out; jump off and onto the ground. Make your way to the junk, which is northwest in the area. When you get into the junkyard, you go straight southwest. Jump onto the rail going southbound. When the gap comes, fall off, and drop down into the center lot. Go into the building. Grab at least one spray can. Exit the building. I am sure you saw where you have to spray, which is on top of the building. From the exit, go directly east and find the opening to a ramp. Grind the railing northbound. When the gap comes, jump off. Be careful and only fall down to the next level of the building. Spray. Congrats! Slate joins the GG's. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Final Stage ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Tags: Small. . : 0 Large. . : 6 X-Large. : 1 Total: 7 JET: 27000 This level is not as hard as it seems to be. The only difficult thing about it is that you cannot make mistakes. You cannot fall; you cannot mess up a tag, etc. Do your best and eventually you will get up the stairs of flame. Starting off, pick up a full capacity of cans. There are six different points where you must tag, and you have to be quick about it. Why? The tags disappear if you let them sit too long. Following this guide, you should be able to get all the tags, but if you happen to take too long, just keep doing the pattern over until you do. The first black hole you should spray is in the northwest part of the area (1). Spray it, and grind down to the southwest black hole (2). Spray it, dash into the lowest grind, and jump the gap. Get some health while you are in the middle if you need it. Spray the black hole in the middle (3). Use the most southern grind to the east, and jump the gap. Spray the black hole (4). Grind up next rail to the northeast part of the area. Spray the black hole (5). Go to the north middle part of the area, and spray paint the final hole (6). You should now have ~ Access to the stairs. Make sure you have enough spray cans for an x- large tag. Tag the black hole. Congrats! You have beaten Jet Grind Radio for the Gameboy Advance. ============================================================================== Script ============================================================================== I know you can mix and match the order that you beat the levels in, so the script follows how the game was beaten using the walkthrough. NARRATOR: Somewhere in Asia, there is a city that cannot be found on any map called Tokyo-to. But everyone just calls it Tokyo. The two hottest things on the streets of Tokyo-to are the punks wearing magnetically driven inline skates powered by newly developed netrium batteries, and 'Jet Set Radio', a pirate radio station manned by the DJ 'Professor K'. Those street punks have been named 'Rudies' by the people of Tokyo-To. They roam the streets and cover the city with their personal graffiti. They claim that it is their way of expressing themselves to the world. However, ever since the Metropolitan Government and The Financial Conglomerate, the Rokkaku Group, combined their efforts to co-found the '21st Century Project', the streets of Tokyo-to have never been the same again. GUM: Yo! Newbie, you can't just go tripping through the streets. Let a pro show you how to use those phat skates on your feet. Tap up once for some high powered skating. Press down to stop! GUM: You can get a big boost of speed if you press the R button while skating. It will give you some insane speed. But it's so fast it's harder to control yourself. Try this and don't bump into anything. Stop when you've had enough practice. GUM: Sweet! Now try grinding. Your skates will automatically grind on some surfaces like railings and wires. Try jumping on a rail. Press the B button to jump, and see if you can do this! Stop when you've had enough practice. GUM: Not bad. I guess I can join you. TAB: Think you can keep up with me? Let's check your qualifications. If you see a floating arrow, you can tag that spot. Make sure you have spray cans before trying to spray something. When you see something floating over your head, push the A button to start spraying! TAB: You think you're all that? Let's try a bigger one. Use the control pad to repeat the arrows that come up to paint some phat lines. Make sure you have enough paint. Bigger graffiti takes more paint. Yellow cans are worth 1, blue cans are worth 5, red cans are health. TAB: Heh, I guess you're cool. Listen up, bullets can't touch you when you're boosting or grinding, got it? PROFESSOR K: Hey out there! This is Tokyo's very own number 1 pirate powerstation, Jet Set Radio! Over the 'hood, through the streets and right into your brain, we're transmitting our signal straight to you. Y'all got your antennas on, or what? Yeah, we're riding high on a smooth stream of supersonic sounds, and I'm your captain and DJ, Professor K. Jet Set Radio!!! 3 gangs are fighting for the Tokyo streets. In the west from Benten-Cho, The City of Night, we've got those high-tech maniacs, those man-machines, the Noise Tanks. And in the east from Kogane-Cho, The City of the Sunset, it's that crazy monster mask wearing gang, Poison Jam. And from Shibuya-Cho in the south, The City of Daylight, it's those trouble-making punks, the GG's. CHAPTER 1: On the Streets of Tokyo-To PROFESSOR K: The GG's home turf, Shibuya-Cho was just attacked. Was it Poison Jam? They were talking about spreadin' out there. Or maybe it was the Noise Tanks, trying to send a system crash through the whole city. Listen up all you innocent fools out there. Officer Onishima has got some special-order keisatsu bracelets all ready for you. So get yourselves to the bathroom and brush those teeth, boys and girls, cause a whole loada trouble is heading your way! DISPATCH: HQ to all stations. All officers respond. DISPATCH: Headquarters to all units. The Captain is on his way. PROFESSOR K: I'm the ronin of the radio cuttin' rhymes with flair, got the spirit inside of me! You're chokin' on my flow while eatin' your sushi and I'm spilling mad wasabi on the microphone. PROFESSOR K: We're gonna burn Tokyo up! We got an explosive broadcast coming straight to you. We're Jet Set Radio!!! The Noise Tanks from Benten-Cho. They won't eat anything without additives and chemicals. No veggies or fruit for them! Word is, last month's big blackout was their work. Look out!! DISPATCH: All officers in the area respond! CAPTAIN ONISHIMA: This is Onishima. I'm on my way with the troops! PROFESSOR K: This is Tokyo's guerrilla music broadcaster, Jet Set Radio!!! Looks like the GG's hacked their way into Benten. Boy, the Noise Tanks must be mad up to their 0 and 1's! MEW: Wow, you guys seem a little grungy for me, maybe your skills can make up for it... MEW: Doh, maybe you are not that bad, how 'bout something like this... MEW: Huh, maybe...let's see you do this! MEW: I guess you guys need me more than I thought. I'll help you out. PROFESSOR K: Kogane is crawling with those creepy monster mask wearing freaks, Poison Jam! Them horror freaks are really angry-they haven't seen a good slasher flick in months. DISPATCH: Juveniles have been spotted! All officers in the area respond. DISPATCH: Send in the choppers! PROFESSOR K: The GG's put on a better show than a B-monster movie. Monster Jam will think twice before taking a bite outta them next time! GARAM: Hey I heard you guys think you're good enough to skate with me. Try wall riding. If you hit a flat wall or a billboard you can skate on it. GARAM: Not bad, but anyone could do that. How 'bout this one? GARAM: Impressive, but you surely can't pull this off... GARAM: Wow, I'll skate with you guys. PROFESSOR K: Those cats who ransacked Shibuya-Cho turned out to be the Love Shockers!! Love broke their hearts and now they're looking to do some breaking of their own. You know someone somewhere is crying with a uki-uki-waku-waku feeling! Can the GG's save Shibuya-Cho from the trap of love, or is it too late? PROFESSOR K: This is your very own, one-punch knockout broadcaster, Jet Set Radio! Which one of you punks wanna step in the ring? Shibuya-Cho got some love letters from them lonely lovers, but the GG's were feelin' so good they sent their own message right back to them Love Shockers. At first those girls were just flirting, but I guess they can't turn down a date now, huh? Ha ha ha ha ha. PROFESSOR K: Hear those electrifying sounds!? That's your Professor K spinning the crazy tracks. But the GG's got some other sounds to worry about. Like the artificial tones of the furious Noise Tanks! CAPTAIN ONISHIMA: This is Onishima. I'm on my way with reinforcements. CAPTAIN ONISHIMA: I'm sending in the tanks! Just get those punks. PROFESSOR K: Jet Grind Radio!!! The bug zapper of Mosquito DJ's buzzing the jungle beats. Sounds like the GG's are sending a jolt through the Noise Tanks hard drive. The Noise Tanks may be performing a control alt delete! PROFESSOR K: And after the action in Kogane-Cho, Poison Jam's out for revenge! It looks like we might be facing a bloodbath here. Better put on your garlic honey, cause the vampires are on the prowl! Ha ha ha ha! DISPATCH: Roller gang has been spooted in the junkyard. Send in the troops! DISPATCH: Aerial assistance needed! PROFESSOR K: This is Tokyo's hard-walking, truth talking, always squawking, Jet Set Radio!!! Even the cops tune in here when they're not eatin' donuts. Looks like Monster Jam is really taking the dunk lately! PROFESSOR K: Benten-Cho is ablaze with the GG's graffiti. It's even brighter than the neon lights. After their territory was attacked, them Noise Tanks ran amok! Their circuits must be fried or something! Ha ha ha! PROFESSOR K: Music that's violently smooth - It's Jet Set Radio! The Noise Tanks just got scrapped. They played too many video games and now it's 'Game Over'. No continues either! Ha ha ha. Them GG's picked up a broken peice of a record from the Noise Tanks. But by itself, it's about as useless as a vegetarian steak dinner! PROFESSOR K: Looks like the GG's have filled the streets of Kogane-Cho with their graffiti. The Poison Jammers are hopping away like little frogs! If the GG's go after them, Kogane-Cho will be all theirs! PROFESSOR K: We'll leave your mama gawking and your daddy walking, we're Tokyo's biggest, baddest buccaneers. We're Jet Set Radio! Poison Jam is finished. They're worm-food. And there ain't no sequels in the works for these monsters. Whoa, all of a sudden a big black car came by and snatched 'em right away!! Maybe it's just the garbage collector. Haha! There was a piece of a broken record in a mask that got left behind. Is there a clue here somewhere?? Or maybe it was just a piece of junk. Ha! YOYO: Ha ha! Bunch of slow pokes! I heard you guys were good, you don't look so great to me. See if you can beat me to the tag! YOYO: Wow, I guess I shouldn't have been going easy on you! I'll hang with your crew for now. PROFESSOR K: Martians come all the way to Earth just to listen to us. We're Tokyo's finest pirate radio, Jet Set Radio! And what's with all these record bits!? Maybe the Love Shockers know what romantic tune this record scratches out! PROFESSOR K: One of the fallen Love Shockers was holding a golden rhinoceros badge. The Golden Rhinos are a gang of ruthless killers. Rumor has it they're the ones who kidnapped Poison Jam. All of a sudden, these strange posters have been popping up all over town! They say 'Project Rokkaku 2000'. Must be the Rokkaku Group's work. The Rokkaku Group is run by a strange fella named Goji Rokkaku-working on the 'Future' of Tokyo, he says. If you ask me, it's just a bunch of bull. Them guys have been erasing a lot of GG graffiti. Are the GG's gonna sit back and take it!? COMBO: My name's Combo. Cube and I used to own Grind City. Until Recently, that is...Someone's been going around painting these ugly signs all over Grind City. Think we can get your help? GUM: Well you look kinda jet lagged to me. Let's see if your skills are up to speed. BEAT: Not bad. We might be able to do something. Let's see what your friend has got...You'll have to keep up with me if you want to skate with us! BEAT: Wow, you're faster than you look! We'll give you a hand CHAPTER 2: Six Months Earlier COMBO: Strange paintings of rhinos and bizarre symbols. Ever since the emergence of these paintings, strange things have been happening in this city. DISPATCH: Assassins have been dispatched. COMBO: Unfamiliar cars and strange men are hangin' around the streets. There's definitely something wrong here! COMBO: Grind Square was built by the Rokkaku Group. Is all of this their doing? DISPATCH: Assassins have been dispatched. DISPATCH: Release the Shock Troops! DISPATCH: Choppers reporting. Will engage enemy. COMBO: What's this new radio station 'Jet Set Radio' that everyone keeps talking about? Well...we got no choice but to fly to Tokyo for some help. People are saying a group called the GG's are who to talk to. CHAPTER 3: Present Day PROFESSOR K: Professor K here igniting the airwaves with some hot beats! But I hear there are some crazy cats out there playing with more than just musical fire! DISPATCH: Bomb squad is on its way. PROFESSOR K: This here is your very own Tokyo pirate broadcaster, Jet Set Radio!!!! Them nasty Rokkaku posters have all been covered up by GG graffiti. Way to go! But when they weren't looking, someone swiped the record!!! You gotta go after 'em, right? PIRANHA: You guys need an injection of style and I'm the prescription. Let's see if you can fill the doctor's order! PIRANHA: Sweet moves, try grooving to this one! PIRANHA: I think you got it baby. One more and I think I might be seen in public with you! PIRANHA: Those were smooth moves kid, can't wait to get down with you! PROFESSOR K: We're gonna burn Tokyo up! We got an explosive broadcast coming to you. The thing everyone's been hunting for like crazy is something called the 'Devil's Contract'. It's a record that's got the power to summon a demon!!! DISPATCH: Flame Squad has been dispatched. PROFESSOR K: This is bad mojo, boys and girls! I don't know what it's doing in Tokyo, but we can't let whackos like that get their hands on it! Demon or no demon, this can't be good news! The streets of Tokyo-to are in a panic and we're gonna have to cut off this broadcast soon. Can the GG's graffiti save this city? PROFESSOR K: The army's moved into Kogane-Cho. They're turnin' Tokyo into a war zone. What's with those jet packs? Why can't they just take the subway like everybody else? DISPATCH: Send in the troops! DISPATCH: No helicopters left?! Send whatever you have! PROFESSOR K: This is Tokyo's only back-alley broadcaster, Jet Set Radio! It turns out the Golden Rhinos are a secret branch of the Rokkaku Group. A dangerous bunch, cool and cruel! Looks like they're wiping out everyone who tries to hang on the streets. GO and hit 'em back! SLATE: Huh? Oh you want something? Yea try keeping up with me? Ha!? Don't blink now! SLATE: Must have gotten lucky...oh well you win. PROFESSOR K: That record everbody's looking for is already missing!!! According to some info we got from Poison Jam, it was made by some freaky evil sound engineer. It's been passed all the way to Tokyo! Goji wants to use the record to make a contract with a demon so he can take over Tokyo and the rest of the world! Get to the new Rokkaku Headquarters and destroy that record -- along with Goji's evil plans! PROFESSOR K: That huge portal of evil, the Rokkaku Building, is a pile of dust. Now they're saying that the building was destroyed in a construction accident-- yeah right! At least Tokyo is back to its glorious old self. It turns out that the Golden Rhinos were just another group of Goji's henchmen. That explains a lot...It turns out the record that Goji was looking for was just an old indie record, a hoax. The Noise Tanks are in-repair and the Love Shockers are broken- hearted again. But Poison Jam is back, and planning more mischief. What's that? You think I just made all that up?! Ha ha ha! Sure, sure, okay. But watch out! On the street, there's no such thing as 'The End!' ============================================================================== Location of Graffiti Souls ============================================================================== I know of a few of the Graffiti Soul locations are not listed, so please e-mail me if you know of any that I missed and how to get them. I probably got some of the graffiti's while going through and completing the walkthrough and did not write the location down. The best way to get all the Graffiti Souls is to use Jet Graffiti because of the freedom and time limit is huge. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Shibuya-Cho ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ~ Bus Depot ~ Between the two southwest bus stops, there is a soul. Jump from one bus stop to the next to get this one. ~ Playground & Highway ~ On the highway, grind the railing in the middle to the northeast. After you fall off, the soul will be northeast of you. In the playground, there is a soul that is on top of the southwest most swing set. To reach it, jump from the highway. It might take you a few tries, but you can make it. Grind the rail that surrounds the playground southbound. Before it turns northwest, jump for a soul. At the gap from the highway to the hills section, there is a crane. Jump onto the crane and grind the object that comes out from it to the south (do not know the name). Jump off the object and you might have to turn in the air a little bit to grab the soul. ~ Sewer ~ From the bus stop entrance, follow the sewer to the southeast. There will be a soul that you can jump to on the west side of the pipe. From the bus stop entrance, follow the sewer to the southeast. After the turn, go northeast. There will be a soul that you have to jump from the half pipe to reach. From the entrance from the highway & playground, go northeast. On the northwest side of the half pipe will be a soul that you can jump to by using the half pipe. ~ Hills ~ From the top entrance, grind the east rail on the east road. Jump at the end to grab a soul. From the top entrance, take the west road. When it turns, grind the east rail. At the end of the rail, jump to grab a soul. From the top entrance, take the west rail on the east road. Jump the first gap before it turns. Jump the next gap before it turns and make your way all the way to the turn in the road. Grind the northwest rail, and jump the gap to grab a soul. From the top entrance, take the west rail on the east road. When it turns, jump onto the building. Jump down into the area where there is a red arrow (the most northern tag in the area). Use the rail to the south to jump onto the building to the northeast. Line up the with the west edge of the blue part on the billboard that is to the south. Dash and jump to reach a soul. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Kogane-Cho ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ~ Shantytown ~ On the bottom level, near the entrance to the sewer, go southeast and jump to the concrete island. Jump onto the red beam, and before it ends, jump and you should hit a soul on the next beams. On the bottom level, on the boardwalk, there are two red roofed buildings. Grind one of the buildings roof, going towards the other one, and jump the gap to pick up a soul. On the fence that covers the stairs going to the third level there is a soul. To get it, grind from the southeast towards the fence and time it right to land on it. You can also grind from the third level down on the fence. Near the entrance to the third level from the second level is a bunch of buildings grouped together. At the tallest building is a soul grind. To get to the soul graffiti, grind from the second floor up to third. When the fence ends, jump and land on the red roof grind. Jump quickly and turn to the red roofed building to the north and land there. Jump onto the green roofed building to the north. Make your way southeast and jump from green roof to green roof and there is a soul there. Above the path to the junkyard, there is a soul graffiti between two buildings. To get on top of the building, go to the lot directly south of the graffiti. Grind the white pipe and jump off. Turn yourself to land on the top of the building. Now, grind the top of the roofs and jump when you hit the gap to get the soul. ~ Junkyard ~ To the southeast of the inner lot, there is a graffiti soul in the air. To reach it, grind the rail to the northeast of it towards the soul. Jump at the end and grab it. On top of the junkyard building, line yourself up so that you will skate on the middle line of the roof. Skate northeast and jump onto the red beam. You will grind into the soul. On the wall to the very north is a soul that you have to wall grind to reach. ~ Junkyard Building ~ ~ Sewer ~ In the area you climb out of the sewage if you fall into the sewage. When you climb out, it will be right in front of you. From the entrance of out of the half pipe and to the tunnel that connects the sewer to the junkyard building, there is a soul. To get it, grind the top half pipe rail, and jump over the gap. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Benten-Cho ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ~ Railroad Station ~ On the southwest side of the railroad, there is a stack of three red boxes and a green one. On top of it is a soul. Just jump up the boxes until you reach it. In the middle of the northeast wall, there is a stack of two green boxes and one red one. Jump on the red one and then on the green one and you will get the soul. You can also jump from a rail, onto one of the trains, and then onto the green box to reach it. There are four rails that go from one end to the level to the other. Grind the most northeast one to the south, and eventually you will see a soul graffiti on the ground. Skate over it to grab it. ~ Market Circle ~ In the middle of the elevated circle. Get to the elevated circle in the middle. Grind the blue rail and you will eventually grind into a soul. From the circle, take the north wire to reach a soul. From the circle, grind the wire that is next to the blue rail. Jump as soon as you see the light pole it is connected to and you will jump into a soul. ~ Housing District ~ Grind the southeast rail of the north passage to the business district to get a soul. Grind the northwest rail of the south passage to the business district to get a soul. Between the two passages to the business district there is a dump truck. Grind the west side of the dump truck and jump to get a soul. Near the entrance from the market circle, there is a soul in the air. You can grind the northeast rail and jump, or simply jump from the entrance to reach it. ~ Business District ~ ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Grind City ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= ============================================================================== JET Extras ============================================================================== ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= >Graffiti ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= JET Graffiti is the same thing as the Grind City and last three missions before Final Stage, but without enemies and a huge time limit.

If you start on one of the edges of the four rails, you can grind it, and whenever you want, turn left or right, depending on which way you are going, as hard as you can and you will land on the other edge of the four rails. You can do this for as long as you want. ~ Grind City ~ In the south part of the map, is a area enclosed by a fence. The fence may look too high to jump on, but if you simple judge it right, you can jump onto the fence.
