It can be categorized as an action RPG, but it also has many mini- games throughout the quest that offer a lot of variety. The premise of the game is that you are sucked into a Shonen Jump manga, a popular manga series in Japan (and now in the US as well). Several different manga stories and characters are featured in Shonen Jump, and this game also features many different popular characters from the Jump franchise. Americans will be very familiar with the characters Goku (from Dragon Ball Z) and Kenshiro (from Fist of the North Star). If you're into manga or anime, then many of the other characters might be familiar to you as well. The "Jump" world that you are sucked into has been conquered by Piccolo (a bad guy from Dragon Ball). He has enlisted the aid of several other bad guys from the Jump world too. Your mission is to assemble a team of heroes from the Jump world and defeat Piccolo. It's a simple premise, but it sets the stage for a lot of fun! The game was released only in Japan, so you will have to wade through Japanese text as you play, but you won't have to understand Japanese to play through the game if you use this guide (at least that's the plan). - - - = = = ==================== = = = - - - - - - = = = ===== Contents ===== = = = - - - - - - = = = ==================== = = = - - - Search words are given in square brackets []. - - - = = = ===================== = = = - - - - - - = = = == Getting Started == = = = - - - - - - = = = ===================== = = = - - - [sec1] On the start up screen, you will be offered the following options (conveniently, in English): START CONTINUE Choosing "Continue" brings up a password enter screen. Yes, to continue your game, you will need to write down your passwords. If you choose "Start", you will begin a new game. But first you will be asked to enter your name. You will see the Japanese "alphabet", and also the options: もどる - "Return". Go back to the previous character that you entered. すすむ - "Advance". Move forward to the next character. おわり - "End". Select this when you're happy with your Japanese name. - - - = = = ================= = = = - - - - - - = = = == How To Play == = = = - - - - - - = = = ================= = = = - - - [sec2] ---Battles---------------------------------------------------------[sec2a]--- As you wander around towns or the world map, you will see people wandering around. Some of them are friendly, but most of them are enemies waiting to pounce. If you get close enough to a character, friendly characters will begin speaking to you, giving some sort of hint of where you should go next. Getting close to an enemy character will begin a battle. Be careful! Sometimes characters that look like enemies are actually friendly. If you kill one of these, your spirit meter will move significantly toward the evil side (see the "Spirit Meter" section below for details). To be sure a character is an enemy, wait until it starts moving before attacking. Friendly characters always stand still and speak, while enemies will move toward you to attack. During battle, press "A" to punch and "B" to throw a projectile. These buttons are the same no matter which character you control. Your projectile takes time to recharge before you can launch it again. So after throwing one, you'll have to wait until you can throw another. You never run out of projectiles though, so feel free to use them as often as you like. Enemies can be either "melee" type or "projectile" type. A melee enemy only attacks with its fists, while a projectile type only attacks with projectiles. Dealing with melee type is straight forward: just punch them or throw projectiles whenever you get the chance. Projectile types are very difficult to hit with your fists, so it's usually smarter to just use your projectiles and be patient. Be warned, you can shoot the enemies' projectiles with your own, so they will avoid damage from your projectile if they shoot at the same time. So you should draw their fire, avoid their shot, then launch your own projectile and hope they don't have time to fire a second one. You can also punch their projectiles, FYI, although I personally never used that to any advantage. All non-boss characters have the same attack pattern, meaning a melee character has the same AI as any other melee character. However, some boss characters will behave differently, such as teleporting during the battle, or moving extra fast. Strategies for boss characters are given in the walkthrough. ---Party Members---------------------------------------------------[sec2b]--- Throughout the course of the game, several characters will join your party. Only one party member can fight at a time. To decide who is fighting, you move the character to the front of your party (see the "Menus" section for details). The world map is divided into five areas. All characters must stay within the area that you found them. For example, you find Kenshiro in area 1. If you cross the bridge leading to area 2, Kenshiro will say he can't follow you any further and he'll leave your party. If you return to area 1, you can summon Kenshiro back to your party. There are also two different time zones in the game: the past and the present. Characters found in the past will stay in the past and characters found in the present will stay in the present. ---Power-Ups-------------------------------------------------------[sec2c]--- Every time one of your characters defeats five enemies he/she will get an increase in their どりょく ("Effort") meter, symbolized by what looks like a plus sign (+). This value has no seeming significance during the game until the very end. At that time, you will want all of your party members to have a high "Effort" level. Your characters will often gain a large increase in their effort level by finding special items or defeating enemy bosses. This saves a lot of level building time, but many of your characters will still have a low effort level by the end of the game, so you will likely have to spend some time level building eventually to make the endgame winnable. ---Spirit Meter----------------------------------------------------[sec2d]--- Your main character has a "Spirit Meter", which is shown as a sliding scale that goes from an angel face on the left of the meter to a devil face on the right side. The meter slowly moves toward the devil side as you walk around the map. It will jump toward the right side a lot if you kill a friendly character. The only way to make the meter move back toward the "good" side is to read Shonen Jump magazines (しょうねんジャンプ), which can be bought at some stores in the game. That's quite an advertisement for their magazine: spend too much time without reading a Shonen Jump and you're evil? On extremely rare occasions, certain enemies may drop a Shonen Jump magazine when defeated. As far as I can tell, the status of your spirit meter doesn't affect your game very much. It seems that your attacks do less damage during the last battle of the game when your spirit meter is on the evil side. But other than that, I noticed no negative effects when your spirit meter is on evil. ---Death in the Party - Dragon Ball Hunting------------------------[sec2e]--- You begin the game with a Dragon Radar (ドラゴンレーダー). If you use it, you will see it scan the area, looking for Dragon Balls. If a Dragon Ball is nearby, it will be indicated by a dot on the radar. Move toward the direction indicated on the radar, then re-scan to see if you're getting closer. You automatically pick up the Dragon Ball if you walk over it. When you get a Dragon Ball, you will see a ball shown below your radar. There are seven Dragon Balls to find on the world map. After finding all seven, you will get the Dragon Ball (ドラゴンボール) item. Use the Dragon Ball and the dragon god Shen Long will appear and restore all of your dead allies back to life. Of course, this is unneccesary if you never allow your party members to die. ---Towns-----------------------------------------------------------[sec2f]--- Most towns have a store, indicated by a sign showing the number "1" on it. You can buy expendable items and sometimes you can purchase items that are necessary to make the story progress. There is also a store that has a "Bandai" sign on it. Most towns also have a restaurant, indicated by a sign with a knife and fork on it. At a restaurant, you can pay a fee to have all of the health restored to the party members in your active party. The options in the restaurant are: たべる ("Eat") and たべない ("Don't eat"). There are several other doors in towns that are unmarked. The ones that are barricaded are never enterable. But unbarricaded doors may or may not be enterable. You just have to try going in all of them and seeing if anything happens. Often, you'll have to enter such doors to trigger the next story event or get a key item. - - - = = = =================== = = = - - - - - - = = = ====== Menus ====== = = = - - - - - - = = = =================== = = = - - - [sec3] Press "Select" while walking around to bring up a menu screen. It contains the following information: At the top-middle section of the window is your character's stats: せいめい - "Life". The hearts indicate how much life your character has remaining. どりょく - "Effort". Your effort meter looks like a series of plus signs (+). It is like your experience level, which increases every time you defeat 5 enemies, and its purpose will be made clear at the end of the game. こころ - "Spirit". This is your spirit meter. See the "Spirit Meter" section for details. In the upper-right window is shown the following information: おかね - "Money" ジャンプ #時 - "Jump Time". Tells you what time it is in the Jump world. Seems to have no real purpose. The window on the right side of the screen, in the middle, has the following commands: もちもの - "Inventory". See your inventory. Push "right" on the inventory screen to see more items if you have more than 6. じゅんばん - "Turn". Selects which of your party members should be at the front of the party and fight the battles. なかま - "Party members". Use this option to summon any party members to your active party. Only characters allowed in the current area will be available to summon. - - - = = = ================== = = = - - - - - - = = = === Characters === = = = - - - - - - = = = ================== = = = - - - [sec4] To complete the game, you must assemble all of the heroes shown below.

In your inventory, you have a Dragon Radar (ドラゴンレーダー), which you can use to help you find Dragon Balls. Collect all the Dragon Balls and you will be able to revive your dead comrades. Of course, if you never let your friends die in the first place, you'll never need to use it. See the "Death in the Party - Dragon Ball Hunting" section above for more details. You can enter the town, Hokuto Village, if you like. ---Hokuto Village------------------------------------------------------------ Store Items: Telephone Card (テレホンカード) - 2000 Onigiri (おにぎり) - 100 Express Delivery (たっきゅうびん) - 700 There is a store and a restaurant. You can buy the item Onigiri (おにぎり) to replenish your health for a reasonable price. The restaurant is more expensive, but it also replenishes your health. Onigiri is more worth your money for now, but restaurants restore you to full health and Onigiri won't after you have earned more hearts. There are no story events to trigger in town. Just use this as your base to replenish your health. ---The World Map------------------------------------------------------------- Outside of town, walk up to the monolith just North of Hokuto Village to get your current password. The password is the text on the second and third lines. It is always 40 characters long. Head West from the monolith to find a building surrounded by a moat. Cross the bridge and enter it to find a fortune teller. She knows you're looking for heroes. She wants 60000 Zeni (this game's currency), which is an outrageous sum. Select はらう ("Pay"). But you don't have enough, so she says you must fight to earn your fortune reading. Here, you battle two melee type enemies. Their attack pattern is the same as standard enemies, but they are a bit stronger. When you win, she says a hero you're looking for is on the East peninsula. Back outside, go up to the grassy area where you can move faster. Then, head East, staying on the North end of the continent. Eventually, you'll find Nukesaku (ぬけさく) standing on the world map. Just walk up to him and he joins your party. Press "Select" to open your menu screen, then select the option なかま ("Party members"). Then select ぬけさく ("Nukesaku") to bring him into your current party. If you want to use him during battles, select the じゅんばん ("Turn") option, then select his name to put him in the front of your party. Next, cross the bridge East of Hokuto Village, then head to the tombstone to the Southeast. When you touch the tombstone, Kenshiro (ケンシロウ) appears and joins your party. Go back to Hokuto Village, then head Southwest to find a castle. You must have Kenshiro in your party to enter it. ---Kaioh's Castle------------------------------------------------------------ I recommend using Nukesaku for traversing the castle since you will need Kenshiro to be at full health for later. Go down at the first two forks in your path to find an item which will power up Kenshiro when you take it. Go back to the previous fork and go right instead. Then go down, then left at the next two forks to find a door. Inside, you find Kaioh (カイオウ), a bad guy from the Fist of the North Star series. Talk to him to begin a battle. It's a different style battle than you're used to: ______________ / Kaioh Battle | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Left/Right to move. "A" to block. "B" to punch. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Description: This mini-game is straightforward. There's really no need to | | try blocking Kaioh's attack. Just try to punch him as he comes into range.| | It's pretty easy. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, the Shonen Jump alligator says that Lin is locked in a door in this room, but you must find the key. Go out of the room, then go right as far as you can, then go up. You'll see a thug that's differently colored than the enemies you've seen thus far. He says he's your ally and says Hyou has the key. Go in the door and follow the path until you reach another door. Inside is a room with Hyou (ヒョウ) inside, another bad guy from the Fist of the North Star series. When you speak to him, you will begin a standard style battle, against Hyou who is a melee type attacker. Defeat him and you get Lin's Room Key (リンのへやのカギ). You need Kenshiro in your party to save Lin. If he died, you need to go collect Dragon Balls and summon Shen Long to return Kenshiro back to life. Return to the room where you fought Kaioh. Go in either door inside that room to enter another room with Lin inside. Speak to her to save her. She then mentions that you should visit the capital city to the West. This is the end of area 1. Outside of the castle, head West to find a bridge, which leads to area 2. Nukesaku and Kenshiro won't follow you across the bridge, so you're on your own again for now. ========== --------------------------------= Area 2 =-------------------------[sec6b]--- ========== Go directly West from the bridge and you will find Goku (ゴクウ) on the world map. But he won't join you at this time. Go South to find a city called the West Capital. ---West Capital-------------------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Shop ("1" on sign) Shop ("Bandai" on sign) Onigiri - 150 Toy (おもちゃ) - 1000 Battery (でんち) - 300 Toy Cross (おもちゃのクロス) - 2000 Express Delivery - 700 Air Car (エアカー) - 5000 The stores in this city sell a few important items. Later in the game, you will need the Toy and the Toy Cross. You don't need them now, but get them whenever it's convenient for your funds. The Air Car is completely unnecessary, but it will allow you to move over rugged terrain faster, so it's kind of nice to have if you have that much money to blow. Enter the building in the upper-left corner of the city. Inside, Bulma says she made a time machine and wants you to test it. You are warped back in time to the past. You are in the same city, but it is now called Penguin Village and has a different layout. ---Penguin Village (Past)---------------------------------------------------- Store items: Canteen (すいとう) - 500 Onigiri - 150 Express Delivery - 700 Battery - 300 Go to the Southwest corner of town and follow the path leading up through the trees to enter a house. Talk to the guy in the house and you will have to fight two battles. The first is against a melee type enemy and the second is against a projectile enemy. It's rather easy, but they can do a lot of damage if you get hit, so be careful. When you win, you get Time Bot's Plans (タイムくんせっけいず) with which you can supposedly use Time Bot to travel through time. Go into the house in the Southwest corner of town and you will talk to a person who says you need some Red Chalk (あかいチョーク) to call the City Hunter and gives you the chalk. Go into the house in the Norteast corner of town and talk to the guy who says he can now call Time Bot. Time Bot appears and says he can put you in a time sleep or something, but he can't do it without the Robovitan E (ロボビタン エ). He says to go Northeast to Robovitan and use the spring there. You get Time Bot (タイムくん) in your inventory. Buy the Canteen in the shop here, then go outside of town to the world map. Stand in front of the "spring" to the Northeast of town (it just looks like a single water tile) and you will get the Robovitan E (ロボビタン エ) if you have the Canteen. Return to Penguin Village and go into the Northeast house. Arale (アラレ) will now join your party. Go back into the house again and the guy will give you the Love Potion (ホレぐしる) which he wants you to deliver to a lady in town. Go into the house in the Southeast of town and you give the lady there the present. Return to the present time by using Time Bot, then go to the Southeast corner of Penguin Village. Stand in front of the black screen and, because you have the Red Chalk, Kaori (かおり) appears. She wants your help to try and capture the "hunter". _____________________ / City Hunter Capture | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Use the directional arrows to move around the screen. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You'll play a strange mini game in which you run around a maze-like screen| | and Kaori runs around the screen swinging a hammer and you're supposed to | | avoid her while trying to catch Ryo (りょう). If Kaori hits you three | | times, you lose. If she hits Ryo, Ryo will disappear and appear in a | | different part of the screen. If you lose, just return to the black screen| | in town to retry the game. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After winning the mini-game by catching Ryo, he says that he's really not a bad person and joins your party. Go outside and head East to the tower across the bridge. Standing to the right of the tower is a guy named Taopaipai, a bad guy from the Dragon Ball series. Talk to him to begin a battle. He fights with projectiles, but he's a little different than previous battles. He doesn't walk around the screen, he teleports. But still use a similar strategy as you have been. Walk in front of him to make him fire, dodge the projectile, then move back into range to shoot. When you defeat him you get the Priest Staff (にょいぼう), which he had stolen. Return to the Northwest corner of area 2 and talk to Goku. Talk to him and you return the Priest Staff to him and he joins your party. Return Southeast to the tower that Taopaipai was standing next to and enter it. Inside the tower, Karin appears and challenges you to a mini-game. _____________ / Catch Karin | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrow + "B" | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Karin appears in one of four directions (up, down, left, or right). You | | are supposed to push the correct direction and push "B" at the same time | | to catch him. You have to catch him 10 times within the time limit to | | complete the challenge. If you fail, you can just try again. He moves very| | quickly, so it's not all that easy. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, you receive an item that powers up Goku and Ryo. Enter the building located just to the Southeast of Karin Tower. ---Red Ribbon Army Base------------------------------------------------------ You'll be in a dungeon type area. At the forks, go through following directions: down, down, and right to find a door. Go inside the door and go up the stairs. On the second floor, go up at the fork and follow the path to another door. Enter it and go upstairs again. On the third floor, go any way you like, but head to the top of the screen to find a door. Enter to find a room with a guy inside named Commander Red, leader of the Red Ribbon Army, bad guys from the Dragon Ball series. He's angry that you are making it hard for him to collect Dragon Balls and a battle begins. ________________________ / Red Ribbon Army Battle | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrow to move. "B" to fire projectiles. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This battle is done like an overhead space shooter game. You will control | | Goku and Ryo simultaneously, and each has their own life bar. There is a | | robotic machine at the top of the screen that you must destroy to win, but| | there are also soldiers that continuously spawn. Mostly focus your fire on| | the robot, but take out the soldiers to prevent them from hitting you. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, the Priest Staff is broken and Goku and Ryo are powered up. With this, you've cleared area 2. Area 3 is located to the East of area 1. On the way, you can check out Hokuto Village during the past. ---Hokuto Village (Past)----------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Onigiri - 100 Shonen Jump (しょうねんジャンプ) - 170 Battery - 200 You can purchase Shonen Jump magazines here to make your spirit meter move to the good side. See the "Spirit Meter" section of this guide for more details. Back on the world map, go East across the bridge next to Hokuto Village, then follow the path to a house. You couldn't enter before, but if you try to enter it during the past, a guy inside will give you an item that powers up Nukesaku. Continue South and cross the bridge to enter area 3. ========== --------------------------------= Area 3 =-------------------------[sec6c]--- ========== Having just entered area 3, enter the nearby structure. It's a train station. You will be given the options to go to the following destinations: すなのとびら (Sand Door) むさしだい (Musashi Dai) さきがけ (Sakigake) You are leaving from Moto Hashi (もとはし) station. Sand Door and Musashi Dai take you to approximately the same locations. Choose Sand Door as the destination (it's cheaper), then head East to get outside of the mountain range, then North to find a town called College Town (がくえんとし). ---College Town (Past)------------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Onigiri - 200 Battery - 400 Shonen Jump - 170 In the Southwest house in town, talk to Miku to learn that the Dream Note was stolen by Rimel who is in the mountains to the West. Go to the building at the top of town and enter the right door and talk to the guy inside to hear that there is a boxing hall in the mountains to the South where you might find the Kaiser Knuckle, which can give incredible power. Outside, use the Time Bot to return to the present. ---College Town (Present)---------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Onigiri - 200 Shonen Jump - 170 Battery - 400 Enter the building at the top of town and enter the right-most door. Talk to the guy inside. His name is Momo (もも) and he will join your party if you manage to beat him at a mini-game. ________________________ / Stamp and Helmet Game | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrow + "B" | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A head will rise from a series of holes and you have to push the correct | | direction plus the "B" button to stamp the head. At the same time, Momo | | can use a helmet to cover the head, preventing you from stamping it if he | | manages to take his action before you. You will get a score for how many | | times you stamp the head. Then Momo will get a turn to stamp the head and | | you will have the helmet to try and cover the head first. The controls and| | timing is the same for you in both rounds. The timing of this mini-game is| | awkward and frustrating, and Momo is very fast, so it may take several | | tries to succeed. If you fail, just go back and challenge him again. It | | took me three tries, so hopefully you will manage to win before too long. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- With Momo in your party, next go way to the Southwest to find another town, Port Town. ---Port Town (Present)------------------------------------------------------- Store items: Onigiri - 300 Express Delivery - 1000 Shonen Jump - 170 Head left through town and eventually you'll see an old lady. Talk to her. Then enter the building on the far left side of town and talk to the guy inside. Next, go back to the right and eventually you'll see a child standing outside the front door of a house. Talk to him. You give him the Toy (おもちゃ) and he says that you should come inside and meet Seiya (セイヤ). Seiya agrees to join your party to help defeat Piccolo. Use Time Bot to travel to the past. ---Port Town (Past)---------------------------------------------------------- Express Delivery - 900 Shonen Jump - 170 Battery - 400 Walk to the left side of the screen where a child is standing. It is Kiku, who will teach you how to box. _________________ / Boxing Training | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Left/right to move. Up/down to target the head or waist. | | "B" to punch, "A" to block. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This is a side view fight, similar to the Kenshiro vs. Raoh fight. Kiku | | will raise a glove and you need to hit it. It will be held at three | | different possible heights: head, torso, and waist. You push "Up" + "B" to| | punch high, just "B" to punch at mid-height, and "Down" + "B" to punch | | low. You need to hit the glove 10 times within the time limit to win. Kiku| | will also occasionally punch at you. You can push "A" to block. If you | | fail to hit the glove 10 times in the time limit, or if Kiku beats the | | crap out of you, you will lose, but you can just try again. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, your main character is powered up and you are ready to fight in a real match. While still in the past, go to the Greek temple looking place a little to the Southeast of Port Town. Talk to the boy there who tells you that Zeus has the Kaiser Knuckle. Zeus appears. Talk to him and you will challange him to a battle. It is a standard-style battle against a melee type attacker, but he does a lot of damage when he hits, so avoid him as best you can. When you win, you get the Kaiser Knuckle, which increases Momo's power. Go to a train station and choose the destination Sakigake (さきがけ). Use Time Bot to go to the present time, then enter the building nearest the train station. Talk to the guy here to start a series of four battles. The first one is against a melee type opponent, the second is versus a projectile thrower, and the third and fourth are against more melee guys. The final guy can move very fast and it makes this battle very difficult. I found the best luck by not even trying to avoid the last guy, but just standing my ground and attacking as fast as I could. When you win, you are admitted into a school (the school from Sakigake!! Otokojuku). Use Time Bot to return to the past. Enter the same building that you just finished the four person battle in and you will begin a mini-game. ___________________ / Battle With Rimel | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrows to move, "B" to fire projectiles | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This mini-game is an overhead shooter, like Galaga. The screen | | continuously Scrolls up and enemies periodically appear. Just avoid the | | enemy fire, shoot them to kill them, and make your way to the top of the | | level where you meet the boss, Rimel, a bad guy from the Wingman series. | | It takes 3 hits for you to die during this game. Rimel takes several hits | | to kill. He moves left and right, shooting projectiles in a circular | | spread pattern. His shots are easy to avoid if you stay at the bottom of | | the screen. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- After destroying Rimel, you get the Dream Note (ドリムノート). Back outside on the world map, while still in the past, enter the building to the right of the one you just visited. Inside, you meet Mankichi (まんきち), who will now join your party since you have the Dream Note. Use the train station to return to the Port Town area. Use Time Bot to return to the present time, then enter the Greek temple looking place just to the Southeast of Port Town to enter a dungeon type area. ---Saga's Temple------------------------------------------------------------- Inside the temple, follow the linear path until you find a door. Inside is Camus, who you will battle. Camus, like all of the bosses in this temple, is from the Saint Seiya series. Camus teleports and launches projectiles. You've faced this type of battle before, so I'm sure you know what to do. But Camus is a little faster then the previous one, so you have to be quick to get your shots in. Also, I found if he is facing left or right, you can stand just above the level that his projectiles can reach and just punch him. When you win, continue further into the dungeon. The path is once again completely linear. You will eventually come to a room a meet Shura. This can be a difficult battle, but if you use Momo and just stand still and punch Shura as he comes into range, you may take less damage than if you try moving around and avoiding him. When you win, continue into the dungeon. The next floor has one fork at which you should go right. You will eventually come to a room containing Death Mask (デスマスク). He's very slow and easy to avoid. Just move in circles around the room to avoid him and launch projectiles when you have good opportunities. When you win, continue further into the dungeon. You'll eventually come across Aphrodite. She is a standard projectile type opponent, so she's very easy to defeat. When you beat her, continue forward again and this time you will eventually reach the final room, containing a guy called Saga (サガ). __________________ / Battle With Saga | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Left/right to move. Directional arrow + "B" to shoot projectile | | at various heights. Directional arrow + "A" to block projectiles at | | various heights. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You'll fight in one of those side view battles, but this time your | | character, Seiya, and the enemy, Saga, both shoot limited range | | projectiles. This means you are not safe even at a distance. To block the | | enemy projectiles, you have to press the "A" button, but you also have to | | push the directional arrow up or down if the projectiles are high or low, | | or just press "A" if the projectiles are at mid-level. Press "B" to launch| | your own projectiles. I found it was easiest to just shoot projectiles as | | fast as I could and not try to get into the blocking thing because I was | | taking a lot of hits that way since it's hard to time. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, you save a woman named Saori and Seiya is powered up. Return to Penguin Village in Area 2 (during the past). Enter the upper-right house. Turbo will use a True Thing machine which can change toys or other objects into the real objects they are meant to represent. Come here with the Toy Cross and it will become a real cross, powering up Seiya. In the present time, visit Port Town (the town in the Southwest of area 3) and use the telephone booth. You need the Telephone Card to use the phone booth, so buy one first in Hokuto Village (area 1) if you don't have one. When you use the phone in Port Town, you'll get a call from Kame Sama and Kuririn will take you to Kame House which is located on a small island. Kama Sama says he wants you to bring him a porno (yeah, seriously). Go all the way back to College Town in the Northeast section of area 3. Enter it during the past and you'll find a kid at the bottom of the screen standing next to the store. Talk to him and he'll show you a porno, then he'll give it to you. You get the Porno (エッチなビデオ). Return to Port Town in the present time and use the phone to return to Kame House. For bringing the Porno, you will get the Kinto Un (きんとうん), a cloud upon which you can fly on the world map. When you use it, your party members will be put away, so you'll have to summon them again after landing. Also, although Kintu Un is awesome, every time you use it, your spirit meter will move a little to the evil side for some reason. ========== --------------------------------= Area 4 =-------------------------[sec6d]--- ========== Travel South from Port Town, over the water, to find a new continent. Toward the Eastern side is a monolith and a town next to it, called East Hill. ---East Hill (Present)------------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Baseball Ticket (やきゅーのチケット) - 200 Onigiri - 400 Battery - 500 At the entrance will be waiting a skeleton looking enemy. Talk to him to begin a battle. He shoots projectiles using the standard attack pattern. Defeat him and you rescue a lady named Ruriko. She thanks you for saving her by taking you to meet Reiki (れいき). Enter the door that you appear on to talk to him. He joins your party and wants to take down the Devil Siders, his enemies. While you're here, buy the Baseball Ticket in the store in the South side of town. ---East Hill (Past)---------------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Baseball Ticket - 200 Onigiri - 400 Shonen Jump - 170 For the time being, there's nothing of note in East Hill during the past. If you go West from East Hill during the present, you can enter a Greek pillar looking place. Inside is JoJo, but he's too busy to talk right now. Go South from those pillars and you will see a vending machine. You can buy a Cola (コーラ) there for 100 Zeni. It restores your health, similar to the Onigiri. Buy one, but don't use it. Head to the Southwest end of this island to find another town, Southern Cross. ---Southern Cross (Present)-------------------------------------------------- Store Items: Soccer Ticket (サッカーのチケット) - 200 Onigiri - 400 Express Delivery - 1200 Head left inside the town until you find a road going up. When you go up all the way, go left and enter the first door that isn't barred. You'll find Lilith (リリス). Talk to her to fight her. She fights with her fists and it's a very easy battle at this point in the game. Head to the upper-right part of town, buy a Soccer Ticket in the store, and talk to the green demon, Pazus (パズス) to begin a battle with it. It shoots projectiles and moves by teleporting. Reiki is powered up by this victory. Use Time Bot to go to the past and re-enter this town, which is called the South Capital during the past. ---South Captial (Past)------------------------------------------------------ Store Items: Soccer Ticket - 200 Express Delivery - 1000 Battery - 500 Go left to the intersection where the road goes up and you should see a weird looking guy standing at the intersection. Talk to him and he'll give you the Cooking Ingredient (りょうりのざいりょう) and say you should be able to make something useful with it. Go along the road leading up. When you get all the way up, go right and enter a nearby door. The guy inside tells you to use the phone to meet with someone. Go back to East Hill at the Northeast end of this island. Enter the town during the past and go to the Southeast corner of town to find the phone booth. Use it and you'll hear that you need to enter a submarine to meet with Akashachi. Go to the restaurant in the Northeast corner of this town during the past. Inside, a kid in the restaurant will cook your Cooking Ingredient and make it into a Good Morsel (うまいもん). Use Time Bot to return to the present. Head Southwest to the vending machine and you will see a guy named Speed standing next to it. He says he's thirsty and he asks you to give him a Cola. Choose わたす ("Hand over"). He then tells you about a book in the library with which you can learn to read Indian words. Go North to the Greek looking pillars (still in the present time) and talk to Jojo (ジョジョ) inside. He will now join your party. Use Time Bot to go to the past, then enter the Greek pillar place again to find Isamu (イサム). Talk to him and he will join your party. Return to South Capital, the town in the Southwest. Still in the past, go inside and go left and talk to the strange looking guy there again to get the 44 Magnum in exchange for the Good Morsel. It doesn't appear in your inventory, but you have it. Go to the Southeast end of this island and enter the building there, still during the past, which is a dungeon type area. ---Southeast Fortress-------------------------------------------------------- Inside the fortress, go the following directions at the forks: down, right, right, right, up, up, left, left, left, and right. There you will find a door. Inside, you meet Kano (かのう), who will join your party since you found his 44 Magnum. You'll be warped back outside. Return to the present time and go into the same building. Follow the same directions as above. You can't enter the door かのう was in. Instead, there's another door if you didn't go right at the previous fork, but instead went down, then right. Inside that door is Santana (サンタナ). Talk to him to begin a battle. _____________________ / Battle With Santana | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Left/right to move. "B" to punch. Rapidly tap "A" to deal damage | | after landing a punch. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This one is a bit unique. You cannot block, you just move left and right | | and push "B" to punch. However, when you land a blow on Santana, your fist| | will get stuck in him. If you do nothing, you will be damaged. Instead, | | after landing a blow, rapidly tap the "A" button. The faster you tap it, | | the more damage you will do to him. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, Reiki and JoJo have their power increased. Go to East Hill during the past and go to the Southwest corner of town to find a person dressed in dark blue named Hayase. He'll give you the Race Car (レースカー) and you'll play a mini game. ___________ / Race Cars | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrows to turn. "B" to accelerate. "A" to break. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | This is a racing game. You are the blue car and you must complete 10 laps | | before the yellow car. You automatically turn if you run into a wall, so | | you can't crash that way. But you will crash if your opponent runs into | | you, so you need to do your best to avoid the other car. You also have a | | fuel gauge, shown in the lower-left corner of the screen, which ticks down| | as you drive. If you don't hold down "B", it won't really drain, but while| | pressing "B" it drains pretty quickly. To refuel, stop in the pit stop on | | the right side of the screen. To do so, be in the right lane well before | | you come to the pit stop, then hold "right" as you go by the pit stop and | | you will turn into it and refuel automatically. | | | | I found this racing mini-game to be pretty hard, and it took several | | (maybe 7 or so) tries to win. A perfect run consists of this strategy: | | Hold the "B" button the whole time. Take the turns as soon as you can, | | using the inner lane to reduce the amount of distance you travel. You | | should be ahead of the yellow car from the beginning. If he catches you, | | he will crash into you, making it almost impossible to win. Just focus on | | making the turns, and keep an eye on your fuel gauge. When it gets close | | to empty (probably after completing 5 laps), turn into the pit stop. When | | you emerge from the pit stop, hold down "B" constantly to accelerate and | | focus on making the turns again and you will win if you do it well. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win the racing mini game, you get a stone which will power up Jojo. Return to Penguin Town (in area 2), during the past, and visit the upper- right house. Turbo will give you the Otogi Machine (おとぎマシーン). Return to Southern Cross during the present (Southwest town in area 5) and enter the first building on the left. It's a library. Go down the middle aisle and you will search a book on the far left side of the bookshelf. The Otogi Machine will delve into it and you start a mini-game. ______________ / Pillar Climb | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Tap "B" to climb. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You will play a mini-game in which Jojo has to climb some pillars. It's | | easy if you know what to do, but it can be confusing to figure out. At the| | top of the screen is a meter that hovers above the Japanese characters: | | こ　お　お　お... Jojo will start climbing the pillar he is in front of if| | the meter is above the last two お characters on the far right side of the| | meter. He will stay still if the meter is on one of the other お's, and he| | will fall if it goes over the こ. Tap "B" to make the meter move farther | | to the right. However, if you go all the way to the right side of the | | meter, the meter will wrap around back to the far left side of the meter, | | placing the cursor over the こ and making you fall, so you can't mash "B" | | to fast. Just try to keep the cursor near the second to last お character,| | and let it go a little more to the left when you want him to stop. You | | will want him to stop to avoid the electrical charges that appear | | temporarily on the pillars. | | | | Using the rules described above, guide Jojo up the pillar on the left side| | of the screen. When he gets to the top, he will appear at the bottom of | | the middle pillar. Continue the same strategy to get to the top of the | | middle pillar and he will appear on the right pillar. Continue climbing | | until he reaches the platform at the top of the right pillar and you will | | win the mini-game. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jojo will be powered up after winning the mini-game. Go to Port Town in the Southwest part of Area 3 during the present and use the telephone. Akashachi, a pirate, will show up and allow you to use his submarine. ___________ / Submarine | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrows to move. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You play a mini-game in which you control the submarine in a side | | scrolling view. Just avoid the mines as the submarine moves to the right. | | It's very easy. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you finish the submarine mini-game, you arrive in a room containing a boss character, Urashima. Place your best character at the front of your party, then talk to the boss. You will engage in a battle against a melee type opponent. He is very powerful. When you win, you get a new Priest Staff (にょいぼう). With this victory, area 4 is finally clear. Go West of area 4, across a bridge, to enter area 5. ========== --------------------------------= Area 5 =-------------------------[sec6e]--- ========== Head West from the bridge connecting areas 4 and 5 to find a soccer stadium. Enter it during the present. If you have the Soccer Ticket, you can play a mini-game. _______________ / Penalty Shots | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Directional arrows to move the goalie or the ball. "B" to dive if| | you are defending, and "B" to shoot the ball if you are kicking. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | If you fail to win the game, you will have to go back to area 5 and buy a | | Soccer Ticket to try again. It is a penalty shot match. You take turns | | trying to kick the soccer ball into the net while Tsubasa blocks it, or | | you try to block Tsubasa's shot. You shoot first, then you defend, then | | you shoot, etc., until you've both shot 5 times. You have to make more | | goals than Tsubasa to win the mini game. | | | | While shooting, press "B" to kick the ball. You can make it change | | direction mid-shot by using the directional arrows after kicking it. While| | defending, move left and right using the direction pad to try to block the| | ball. If you press "B", you will dive, which is very helpful for blocking | | shots that are a large distance from you. Be wary, the computer can also | | change the direction that the ball is moving mid-flight. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, Tsubasa (つばさ) will join your party. Go South from the soccer stadium to find the baseball stadium. Enter it during the present to play a mini-game (that you can't possibly win at this point, by the way). __________________ / Home Run Hitting | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: "B" to swing the bat. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You play a baseball mini-game where you are the batter. It is the ninth | | inning, two outs, bases loaded, and you're up to bat. Push "B" to swing | | the bat. The pitcher might throw pitches out of the strike zone, so don't | | swing at those. But when a pitch is over the plate, hit the ball. If you | | strike out without hitting the ball, you'll have to go buy another | | Baseball Ticket and try again. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you try to play the above described mini-game, you won't be able to hit a home run. If you hit the ball, you will just hit a pop-up and you'll be out. Use Time Bot to go to the past. Go South from the soccer stadium to the South end of the continent where you'll see a waterfall. To the left of the waterfall is a rock. Stand to the left side of it and push right to push the rock into the water. It will block the water and reveal an opening behind the waterfall which you enter. You meet Nanjou, who gives you a legendary bat, which doesn't appear in your inventory. Now try the baseball mini-game (in the present, remember). You'll need a Baseball Ticket to try it if you don't have one. This time, if you play the baseball mini-game and manage to hit the ball, you will hit a........pop-up again and get out!? Your bat breaks... Go back to the past and visit the guy behind the waterfall again. Now he'll give you the real Spirit Bat (たましいのバット), which is now in your inventory. Buy another Baseball Ticket in East Hill and this time when you challenge the baseball mini-game, when you hit the ball, you'll hit a home run. Don't strike out! When you win, Tarou (たろー) joins your party. Once again, you need a Soccer Ticket and a Baseball Ticket, so go buy them in Southern Cross and East Hill. Then use Time Bot to go to the past. Enter the baseball stadium during the past to get Kyuichi (きゅういち) to join your party. Enter the soccer stadium during the past and you will play another mini game. ______________________ / Soccer Ball Juggling | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Direction arrows to move. "B" to kick the ball. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | You are supposed to keep a ball in the air and stop it from touching the | | ground. Push "B" to kick the ball to get started, then try to make the | | ball land on your player's head by moving left and right. You have to hit | | it 20 times to win the mini-game. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, you are given a soccer ball that powers up Tsubasa. Still in the past, go to the Southeast part of area 5 where there is a building and a monolith. Enter the building during the past and Kinnikuman (キンにくマン) will join your party. Go back to Karin Tower in area 2 (East from the West Capital) during the present era. You need to have Goku summoned to your party to enter. Karin says that you can now visit Kami's palace since you have the Priest Staff. Kami will give you an item that power's you up and gives you the ability to battle Piccolo. Go slightly Southeast from Karin Tower to find the King Castle. Enter it during the present time. Inside is a dungeon type area. ---King Castle--------------------------------------------------------------- At the forks, go the following directions: right, left, up, down, down, up, left, right, right, down, down, up. You will find a door that takes you up some stairs to the second floor. On the second floor, go the following directions at the forks: right, up, down, down, down, and right. You will find a door that takes you up more stairs to the third floor. On the third floor, go the following directions at the forks: up, up, and left. You find another door that takes you upstairs to the fourth floor. On the fourth floor, go up both times at the forks to find a door. Piccolo is waiting inside. Talk to Piccolo to begin a battle. _____________________ / Battle With Piccolo | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Buttons: Left/right to move. "B" to shoot a projectile. | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The battle with Piccolo is a lot like an overhead shooter. You control | | your main character who moves from left to right at the bottom of the | | screen. Press "B" to shoot your Rocket Punch projectile. Piccolo moves at | | the top of the screen and shoots projectiles in a spread pattern every | | once in awhile. It takes 5 hits for you to die. Shoot Piccolo while | | avoiding his projectiles. | | | | One strategy that might help you out quite a bit is to pause the game | | whenever Piccolo shoots so that you can see where his bullets are headed | | and allow you to avoid them easier. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you win, you hear that your fight has not ended. There are more still 13 more enemies as powerful as Piccolo to battle. You appear in an area in the Northeast part of the world that was previously inaccessible. You can go back from where you came from by going into the monolith. If you want to return here, enter the King Castle and you will immediately warp here (without having to go all the way through King Castle again). ---Final Battle-------------------------------------------------------------- Enter the building on the left (the stadium seems to have no purpose) and you'll enter a series of turn-based RPG style battles. But before doing that, you may want to do some level building to get some of your inexperienced party members more "Effort" points (the things that look like plus signs below your hearts). Effort points will be used to perform special attacks during the RPG style battles, a lot like MP. You can give it a try now and see if you're leveled enough. But make sure you have your current password, of course. When you enter the castle on the left, you'll see a series of spaces you have to move along to reach the "GOAL". You'll be asked if you want to "Battle" (しょうぶする) or "Return" (もどる). If you choose "Battle", you will begin a battle against the next enemy. If you choose "Return", you will go back to the world map. If you choose "Return" after you've already defeated some of the enemies, you will have to fight all of them over again when you come back. For each battle, you must first choose one of your party members to do the fighting. You'll see four names to choose from, but push up and down to see more names. After choosing a character, the game will ask you if you're sure (はい - "yes", or いいえ - "no"). You're then given the following options: たたかう - "Fight". ひっさつわざ - "Certain Kill Skills". More powerful attacks. It drains your special power meter, which is indicated by the "+" symbols. にげる - "Run". Switch characters. "Fight" does weak damage no matter what and is never a good option to choose. "Run" will allow you to change characters, although you might fail to run in which case the enemy gets a free turn to attack. If you run, the current opponent's health will be returned to maximum. "Certain Kill Skills" is always the option you want to use to attack the opponent. However, using these requires that you have enough "Effort" points. Some characters have two skills and some have three. The skills farther down the list are almost always the most powerful, so try using those first. If you try to use a "Certain Kill Skill" that you don't have enough "Effort" points to use, it will ask if your main character will donate some of his effort points to the fighting character. Say yes (はい) and you'll see your effort meter on the top of the window at the top of your screen and your ally's effort meter below it. Press "Up" to donate effort points, and "Down" to take back effort points. Now that you know the basics of these battles, I will list each of the enemies you battle. Each enemy has certain characters from your party that they will refuse to fight. These characters are listed below under the category "Can't use". Each enemy also has certain characters from your party that they are weak against. These characters are listed under the category "Recommended". Obviously, the best way to win all of these battles is to choose one of the recommended characters and use their "Certain Kill Skills" to quickly finish the game.
