Tom & Jerry: War of the Whiskers FAQ
------------Secrets-----------------

I just made this because there isn't enough -correct-
information about this game out there. Now this FAQ
is GameCube specific, so I'm in the dark as to if these
strategies and secrets will work on the XBoX and Playstation
versions.

PLEASE NOTE: I don't cover cheat codes in this FAQ.
I'm only covering the legitimate ways of unlocking these
things!

War of the Whiskers is (c)NewKidCo.

Update 1.) March 07, 2005: FAQ Created

-----------Index------------------
1.) Secret Characters
2.) Secret Levels
3.) Secret Weapons
4.) Secret Costumes

--1.) Secret Characters-----------
In the beginning of the game, only Tom and Jerry
are available. By playing through the game, you can unlock
Spike the Bulldog,
Tyke the Bulldog,
Butch the Alleycat,
Nibbles the Mouse,
The Duckling,
The Lion,
The Hawk,
Robot Cat*,
Monster Jerry*.
*indicates this character can only be used in multiplayer*

To unlock characters, you need to play through one-player
CHALLENGE mode. Here's the setup. With each character you win with,
a new character will be unlocked. So here's the progression:
Jerry->Tyke->Butch->Lion->Monster Jerry
Tom->Spike->Nibbles->Duckling->Hawk->Robot Cat

So if you beat the game with Butch, Lion will be unlocked.
Beat it with Duckling, and Hawk will be unlocked. And again,
Robot Cat and Monster Jerry are not available in Challenge Mode,
only in Multiplayer Mode.

--2.) Secrete Levels----------------
There are several, standard levels in the game. You only begin with
a few, but they're unlocked for multiplayer once you fight in them
in CHALLENGE MODE. Here are the standard levels:

A Fridge Too Far
Ciao Meow
Unfurgiven
Frankenmouse
PAWS
Luncheons and Dragons
Snow Fight
Scrapeyard Scrap
Towering Infurno
That Sinking Feline
Haunted Mouse

These will ALL show up during the course of the game, as you play.
They each get unlocked once you encounter them in the CHALLENGE MODE.
However, there are also two secret arenas:

Some Like it Hotter
Raging Mouse

That only appear in Versus Mode. To access these, simply play a
QUICK BATTLE between HUMANS ONLY. If you're playing with only
humans, these two arenas will show up. They're simplistic, and made
for all out brawls without environment interaction.


--3.) Secret Weapons-----------
Along with the dozens upon dozens of items and weapons you can use
in every level, there are also secret weapons that only show up
in each level once that level has been completely destroyed. A good
method for completely destroying a level is to use a hand-held 
weapon, and hit the walls, and any props that look breakable.
Bookshelves, windows, planks of wood, barrels, walls, 
just go hog wild. Upon destroyed every single object in the level,
a message saying, "MAP DESTROYED" will pop up, and that level's 
secret weapon will now be available. Each level, except for the 
two hidden arenas, has a secret weapon. What follows is a list of
said secret weapons, and what they do, for each level.

1.) A Fridge Too Far
weapon: Rotten Eggs
special effect: Not only do you get three shots with these, they'll
instantly poison anyone they hit.

2.) Ciao Meow
weapon: Bee Hive
special effect: Without having to charge, this item will 
automatically stick to the head of whoever you throw it at. When it
breaks off, a swarm of bees will emerge and attack that player.

3.) Unfurgiven
weapon: Branding Iron
special effect: Just one uncharged jab from this will set your enemies
ablaze and send them running and screaming, quite comically.

4.) Frankenmouse
weapon: Electric Bomb
special effect: Throw this at an enemy to zot them with a powerful
jolt of electricity

5.) PAWS
weapon: Electric Eel
special effect: This also zaps your enemy with electricity, except it
is a hand-to-hand weapon, so you can whap multiple foes with it.

6.) Luncheons and Dragons
weapon: The Sword in the Stone
special effect: Instantly 'dizzies/stuns' your enemy, with having to
charge it.

7.) Snow Fight
weapon: Barrel of Ice Water
special effect: Instantly freezes your enemy in a solid brick of ice.

8.) Scrapeyard Scrap
weapon: Sledgehammer
special effect: Instantly flattens your enemy with one hit.

9.) Towering Infurno
weapon: Dynamite
special effect: Blow your enemy to pieces without charging it
up!

10.) That Sinking Feline
weapon: Octopus
special effect: Sticks to your foe's head instantly, and clings for
quite a long time.

11.) Haunted Mouse
weapon: Cutlass
special effect: Sends your foes flying with just one hit.

There they are, all the weapons. As I said before, Some Like it Hotter and 
Raging Mouse don't have unlockable secret weapons in them. These
reset after each battle, so if you want to use them again, you've got
to destroy the map again.

--4.) Secret Costumes-----------
There are dozens of costumes you can unlock in the game. To unlock them,
you need to smash certain things in certain levels, with certain
characters. A simple way to do this, is to play a QUICK GAME with
another human player, and simply take your time smashing things until
the message, "Costume Unlocked" shows up. NOTE: The costume you
get will only be for the character you're playing as. So a Tom costume
will only appear when you play as Tom. Here are the costumes I've found
so far, and the levels they appeared on. There may be more costumes for
each character, because I'm not completely sure if it's random or not...

Tom the Cat:
Cowboy Kitty, found on Unfurgiven
Muskateer, found on Luncheons and Dragons
Beach-Trunks, found on PAWS
Sailor Scout, found on That Sinking Feline

Jerry the Mouse:
Mousekateer, found on Luncheons and Dragons
Snow Parka, found on Snow Fight
Beach-Trunks, found on PAWS
Sailor Scout, found on That Skinking Feline

Spike the BullDog:
DevilDog, found on ??? (I can't remember where I found this)
SherriffSpike, found on Unfurgiven

Butch the Cat:
Beach-Trunks, found on PAWS
Auto Scrubs, found on Scrapyard Scrape

Nibbles the Mouse:
Mousekateer, found on Luncheons and Dragons
Indian-Chief, found on Unfurgiven

Duckling:
Snow Parka, found on Snow Fight
Coon'Skin Cap, found on Unfurgiven

***As of yet, I haven't found alternate costumes for Tyke, Hawk, Lion,
Monster Jerry, and Robot Cat. It's doubtful Monster Jerry and Robot
Cat have alternate costumes, but I'll keep looking.
