any of the matches except for the last one. Once you finish the last battle,
you will get the Athena body part (illegal).
Cans: To get "Can Robo" Can Bomb, Can Pods, Can Boots, and
Can Gun, win the Tournament in your house. You can now enter Lucy's room. In
there you will see lots of people talking about what they did for the game
(similar to "talking" credits). Go through the second door and you
will see more people. In the second room there is a robot (not a Custom
Robo). Talk to him after he is done talking. The game will save. Go to the
nearest parts generator and get ready to laugh at what you just unlocked.

after winning every tournament in the city you will have access to the Outer
World. When there, go to the Z Museum and defeat everyone to be able to go
to the Z Boss Room. Once there, get a gold trophy to get the Ray Legend.
When you get to the Z boss
room, you will fight (in order), Shiner, Eliza, Izabella, Oboro, then your
host, Sensei. Sensei will then introduce your sixth opponent (the special
guest), who is a simulation of Hero's father, the first leader and founder
of the Z syndicate. He will say that his Robo is obsolete, and the Robo he
is using is actually the Ray Legend Robo. It has a much stronger attack and
much weaker defense than Ray 01, and will be easy to defeat if you can avoid
him and knock him down. Try using all of Rahu 1 but replace his gun with the
vertical gun.
To obtain Ray Legand (the Ray
from the original Japanese version of Custom Robo for the Nintendo
64), win all five Z tournaments in Grand Battle mode.
Ray
Warrior: Win all the cups in the Amusement Park tournaments with a gold
trophy, then talk to the policeman at the front gate.
Rahu
parts: To get the first set of parts, go to the Z Headquarters, talk to
Oboro, and select Eliza's Mansion. Go in between the glass and the wall, go
all the way to the left, then up, then right. You will be in the glass case.
Press A to find Rahu 1's parts and the Rahu 1 chip.
Do the Bronze handicap match.
When Lucy appears to fight, talk to her until you get Rahu 2's parts.

part), in a Grand Battle mode, go to Bogey's Café. Walk behind the counter
and select the shelf. You will now have an illegal part.
Hint:
Juggle your opponent: Every Robo has a dash attack that they can perform with . Some
Robos have a straight-forward dash. If you are using one of those Robos,
keep pressing X and you will juggle your opponent and do a good
amount of damage. This is very useful if you have low health.
Hint:
Illegal parts: To get illegal parts, complete the first seventeen tournaments in
the Grand Battle section of story mode. In the Other World, when you
complete the first three Z tournaments, you will receive no parts. However,
all the battles in Z headquarters after those will reward you with illegal
parts, such as the Wyrm, Wolf Spider, Orca, Cheetah, Swallow, Raven, and
Eclipse. Note:The first parts you will receive are legs, but you will soon
get the Wyrm, which is the advanced version of the Dragon (very powerful).
Hint:
Defeating large enemies: To defeat enemies such as the Metal Bear, Tank Head, etc., use
the Peregrine with Formula Legs and either the Shotgun or the Knuckle. You
must get close to your enemies to use these weapons, but the Peregrine is
incredibly fast, and the Knuckle and The Shotgun are two of the game's most
powerful guns.
Hint:
Defeating Chief: Use Criminal, Gattling Gun, Standard Pod, Bomb, and Formula Legs.
Shoot him with the gun until you are at either ends of the stage. As long as
you keep firing from there, he will keep jumping and be down before he gets
too close and fires on you.
Hint:
Defeating Earnest I: Use a Striker Vanisher model with a good Downing Gun and keep
dodging the sniper shots. Use far range as timing to dodge the gunfire.
Hint:
Defeating Harry: Choose either the V-Laser or any powerful gun and any bomb/pod
remaining. Equip Formula Legs and run into him. Charge him, then fire away
with the gun.
Hint:
Defeating most most Lightning Sky opponents: Use the Phoenix Gun and keep firing from the ground. keep your
distance from them, and keep pods and bombs around him.
Hint:
Defeating Linda: In the Gold Cup finals, to defeat Linda use a Raider type model,
Flame Gun, Can Bomb, Can Pod and Formula Legs. Do not forget to go into
Lucy's room after winning the House Tournament with a "Gold" rank
and talk to the training robot to get these important wastable parts.
Hint:
Defeating Marcia: Use Drill, Ray 01 and Formula Legs. Stay close to Marcia, but not
too close or her charge does damage. Try circling her while firing at close
range. Most, if not all, of her shoots should miss.
Hint:
Defeating Rahu III: To defeat Rahu III, the final Boss of A New Journey, customize
your Robo's legs, gun, and body as follows. For the body, choose something
that is heavily resistant. Suggestions include any of the Funky Big Head and
Metal Animal Series. For the gun, select something with homing capabilities,
range, and perhaps power. The Dragon gun is a good idea. For the legs,
choose one that allow good jumping. In the battle, try to hide behind one of
the giant circles. Keep a low profile and let your partners do a lot of the
work. As often as possible, jump in the air and fire your gun. When Rahu III
attacks you, walk away towards the next nearest circle by jumping backwards,
firing your gun, pod, and bombs, until your partners come to rescue. When
Rahu III has killed your partners, keep firing. When he gets close, hit him
with X. When he is in the air or backwards, hit him with your gun. He
rarely gets a rebirth, and you will have lots of time. However after the
shot, walk backwards firing the gun, pod, and bomb until you reach the next
circle; then repeat.
The following trick might be
cowardly, but it works sometimes. Let your partners damage him to conserve
your life. Because there is nowhere to hide, just run even though some of
his attacks are difficult to dodge. For example, let Harry die or do a lot
of damage, then come in for the kill. One part you might want is the dragon,
as it homes in on your opponent.
Hint:
Defeating Roy: To defeat Roy, use Hornet, Freeze Bomb, Land Freeze, Metal Ox and
Formula Legs. Keep both Freeze Pods near you and fire the gun if Roy is too
far. If things get desperate, hit him with the bomb. Then if Roy is close
and is frozen, charge him to send him flying far with a lot of damage.
However, keep your distance as his Magnum still hurts and he will hit you
when you are down.
Hint:
Defeating Sergi: In the Gold tournament. Sergi is one of the toughest opponents.
The Dragon Gun, Vertical Gun and Needle Gun work well. If you use the Needle
Gun, just keep firing at him. Get in front of him at all times.
Hint:
Defeating your father: To defeat your father in Grand Battle mode, choose a high
defensive Robo (for example, Ray 01) , Needle, favorite bombs and pod, and
Formula Legs. Keep shooting him with Needle and he may hit you a few times
for an auto down. However, get up fast. You should be able to get 25,000
points if you do not use illegal parts and you get good at Rebirth and
shooting the gun.
Hint:
Single use tournaments: To get gold in a single use tournament, do not use Illegal parts
as they cut your points in half. Use the following combination, or something
of the sort. In the first two to three battles use Metal Ape, Metal Bear,
Metal Ox, with these guns: Afterburner (stand back and fire for an easy
perfect), Blade (stand back, fire your opponent into a wall, and keep firing
for an easy perfect), Halo (stand on ground and fire repeatedly for an
perfect). Note: These guns do not too well in Ice Holloseums, In the case of
Ice Holloseums, use a Javelin or Halberd type. In battles four through six,
use the Peregrine and either Shotgun or Knuckle. Note: If there are more
battles than six, use Peregrine and Knuckle, Swift and Shotgun, And Shrike
and Flame. For the last battle, use your preferred Robo (for example, Ray
01) and your favorite weapon (probably the Dragon).
Hint:
Hub Park tournament: To win the Hub park tournament in The Grand Battle easily, equip
the following parts: Javelien, Sniper Gun, Geotrap Bomb, any Feint Pod, and
the Formula Legs. Your opponents all have Gattling Guns. The Sniper has the
fastest firing power and can knock a Robo down in one hit. Jump to the
highest point in the level. When your opponent starts firing, quickly shoot
to knock him down and stop the fire. This is an easy trick to get a perfect
every time. If you ever cannot shoot your opponent, Air Dash and disappear
or outrun the bullets with the Formula Legs.
Hint:
3-way Gun: To do the most damage with the 3-way Gu,n either get very close
or far from your opponent.
Hint:
V-Laser: If you use the V-Laser, just run up to the enemy and blast him as
you would with the shotgun. It will have the same effect as the shotgun, but
will do more damage. This is a good gun because you can also adjust the
range, even if it does less damage.
Hint:
Combo: An excellent combo to use to get sky-high with attacks is the
Raven Gun (illegal version of the Eagle), Athena Robo, Acrobat Bomb, any
pod, and the Ultimate Legs. Fire the Acrobat Bomb to launch your Robo into
the air, then time the jumps to get very high. Keep firing the Raven Gun
while you slowly descend. It is possible to get about 20 shots from it.
Hint:
Holosseum data: Go to the bottom-left hand corner of the Holosseum. You should
find data on the Holosseum.
Hint:
Completing Weapon Glossary: After you complete "A New Journey" in story mode,
"Weapon Glossary" will be available. To put a weapon in Weapon
Glossary mode, you must win at least one match in arcade mode. The weapons
used will be available in Weapon Glossary. Any easy way to complete Weapon
Glossary is to fight in the first match, win it, quit arcade mode, then
start again using different parts.
Hint:
Destroy world: When Harry asks you if you are going to the Outer World, keep
saying "Not Going". Soon they will leave you and the screen will
turn black explaining the tragedy. Although Harry is dead he will still talk
to you, tell you to make the right choice, and send you back to that screen.
Hint:
Lose watch: When Mira asks about your watch at the dinner say "Do you
like it?". Harry will say that she collects them. Keep insisting she
could have the watch When you defeat Oboro, they will ask for the watch. A
scene will show the disappointment of you losing your father's watch. They
will give you keys to their cabinet, and you will have to run home get it
and return to continue the game.
Hint:
Robo combinations: The following are useful Robo combinations.
Glaive: Glider gun, Standard
K bomb, Seeker F pod, Booster legs. Keep firing all your weapons
repeatedly to keep your opponent at bay.
Milky Way: Raptor gun,
Acrobat bomb, Sky Freeze pod, High Jump legs. Use Acrobat bomb to launch
yourself in the air and repeatedly tap B.
Perigrine: Magnum gun,
Tomahawk G bomb, Beast F pod, Ground legs.
Ruhiel: Raptor gun, Acrobat
bomb, Wolf Spider pod, Raven legs. (Use the Acrobat bomb to launch
yourself in the air and then tap A and fly around the Holosseum,
tapping B repeatedly, creating a big circle of raptor gun
ammunition.
Ruhiel: Raptor gun, Wyvern
bomb, Wolf Spider pod, Raven legs.
Seal Head: Right/Left Arc
gun, Right/Left Flank H bomb, Twin Flank G pod, Long Thrust legs.
Seeker: Hornet gun, Dual
bomb, Jumping B pod, Booster legs.
Shrike: Shotgun, Right Flank
H bomb, Caboose X pod, Feather legs.
Ray 01: 3-way, Geotrap or
Right/Left Flank H, Diving, High Jump.
Halbird: Shotgun, Geotrap,
Speed Pod, Float F, or Diving and Formula.
Use the following Illegal
Parts combination: Ray Warrior Body, Wyrm Gun, Wyvern Bomb, Wolf Spider
Pod, and Ultimate Legs. Always Airdash if you are going to attempt to
attack in the air so that you can dodge upcoming attacks. If you need to
make them lose a lot of HP in one shot, use the Wyrm on the ground close
to them so the four shots from it take off 200 to 350 HP in one volley.
Only Airdash at the peak of your jump height for best results. Use pods
close to your opponent in the air and bombs at far distance to blast them
up and away. The Ultimate Legs will make up for all speed and jump
distance flaws.
Use the following Illegal
Parts combination: Ruhiel Body, Raptor Gun, Grand Cross, Orca, Ultimate
Legs. When flying, press B rapidly and the multi-colored eagle
shots will come and set place. You can probably set eight to ten eagles
(two per shot) if done fast and correctly. If you jumped high before
flying, you can do twelve of them. Use Orca in air while pressing B
to make the homing shots easy and accurate. Use Grand Cross and Raptor on
the ground to get a 200 HP combo.
Hint:
Super Mario Bros. reference: When the weird robot attacks Bogey's Café, defeat it then the
blue-haired person. When Harry asks if you are going home, tell him that you
will wander around. Then go to Hero's home talk to Lucy (the woman that
sweeps with the broom), You will tell her about Z, and she will think that
it is a band and that you were a security guard. Talk about the band. She
used to hear the Groovy Goombas and their hit song "Fire Flower
Sunshine".
Hint: Legend
Of Zelda reference: After your first fight with the mystery Robo (Rahu) at Bogey's,
go to Hub Park. Talk to the girl in the red dress, and she will tell you
what she thinks the "Z" in Z Syndicate stands for. One of the
things she will tell you is Zelda.
Hint: Mega
Man reference: After the Rahu I body attacks Bogeys, go to the park the same
girl who says that the "Z" in Z Syndicates Z stands for Zelda. She
will also say that it stands for Zero.
Hint: Hitchhiker's
Guide To The Galaxy reference: Go to Raiden's place on the third or fourth day. Talk to Don. He
will make a comment about earthquakes and give a quote from Arthur Dent of The
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy about never liking Thursdays.
Glitch:
Dead kid in closet: After you complete the game, do the Grand Battle. When you go
home, you will be able to go into Lucy's room. When you are in her first
room, you will a second door, When you go inside the second room, there will
be a blue closet door. Go up to the door and press A. You will start
to move away from the door, then it will open. Then, a kid pops out and will
fall on the floor. He will start to talk to you. Once you are done talking
to him, he will start to get sucked into the wall.
Glitch:
Misspelling: Win arcade mode with the Wyrm gun. After you win the final fight,
it will show the picture of the Wyrm gun but it will say "Dragon
Gun".
Glitch:
Incorrect grammar: In A New Journey, when the Lab is attacked by Z, go to the
Presentation Room. Look to see P-01 on the wall. Below it is a button. Go up
to it and press A. Your character should say, "I don't got time
for this!" instead of, "I don't have time for this!".
