destroy him. Collect all the treasures and Ehrgeiz when they appear. Note:

Andrews. You can lose Clair briefly at the start of the game. At the
start, when you and Clair are in the room where you fight Prince Doza
(Prince Naseem in the Japanese version), you must run around the pit
without falling in, Clair will eventually fall in while trying to catch up
with you. After this, she will not be there to follow you.
Hint:
Fighting Cloud and Tifa: In Sasuke's arena, there are two other doors. One leads to the
boss, Django. The other leads to Cloud and Tifa. To fight them you must
defeat Sasuke in five minutes or less to get into the Gold Saucer-like

one called "Underground".

weapon. It is leaning against the wall next to the weapon shop owner.
Hint:
Masamune: You can see the Masamune, Sephiroth's weapon of choice, behind
the weapon shop owner on the wall; it is the longest sword.
Hint:
Easy Battle Beach: Note: A controller with an auto-fire feature is required for
this trick. When the race begins, set Run to auto-fire.
Use the following trick to
interfere your opponents running on Battle Beach. Overun them far enough
to where they are not shown on the screen -- so that they cannot even see
what they are doing. This must be done in a two-player game, with a
auto-fire controller recommended.
Hint:
Close finish in Battle Beach: When playing Battle Beach, you can, especially if tied
throughout the run, press Square or Triangle when extremely close to the

during a close race, or to shave a second off your time.

button in Ehrgeiz Fighting modes. Your character will perform a taunt.

Hint:
Ring out: There is a way to get a ring out in certain levels. To
accomplish it, just stay towards the side of the ring throughout the
battles. Very rarely, you will fall out of the ring, and a "Ring
Out" will be announced.
Hint:
Extra lives: On "A Brand New Quest", you can get extra lives
before you fight the final Boss. When you kill the second to the last
monster on the 21st floor, you will die when it explodes. You must control
your secondary character, your weak one, all the way down to the 21st
floor where your companion is dead. Before you go into the room where you
fight your toughest battle, start attacking your dead friend. You will
notice that he will lose health every attack. Then, walk into the previous
room and your levels will go up repeatedly. You can go back in and beat up
the dead body more.
Hint:
Restore health: When low in health in "A Brand New Quest", go back
into the hotel and switch characters. After that, switch back to the
original character and his or her health will be full.
If you have no money, Dragon
Wing, and healing source of any kind, go somewhere where no monsters can
attack. You will slowly get your health back. Note: Your character will
get hungry.
Hint:
Repair weapon: When deep in the dungeon with no Dragon Wing and your best
weapon is about to break, equip that weapon and go to a fairy. It should
repair the weapon for you.
Hint:
Hotel visitors: In "A Brand New Quest", the Hotel tells you many
things including a story about the presence of Cloud and Sephiroth from Final
Fantasy 7 visiting that dimension. He says, "This hotel has had
many guests. We've had a guest with spiky blonde hair, carrying a big
sword. We've also had a man with long silver hair stop by. They all seem
to have come from various dimensions, and, in turn, have journeyed off to
other dimensions."
Hint:
Hotel picture: When you are in a "Brand New Quest", there is a
picture above your bed in the hotel. This is the picture of one of the few
shown on the title screen of "A Brand New Quest".
Hint:
Secret rooms: There are secret rooms in the dungeon in a "A Brand New
Quest". A few walls are breakable -- throw a bomb at this type wall
and it will break apart into debris, creating a hole or doorway to a
secret room.
Hint:
Falling down the pit: In battle runner, you can fall through the pit in the middle.
This is accomplished easily -- just keep running against the invisible
barrier and jump a few times. Eventually you will fall down the pit.
Glitch:
Same sounds: Select practice or vs. mode with Yuffie and Sasuke. When you
play as Sasuke and fight against Yuffie, hold Special and press Lower
Attack. If done correctly, Sasuke will sound just how Yuffie would if
she did the move (since they have the same moves).
Glitch:
See same character: In "A Brand New Quest" when you go to switch
characters, for a moment you will see the same character.
Glitch:
Sword embedding: This trick will allow you to get stabbed and run around with
the blade sticking out of your back. Enable "Boxes mode" and
stab somebody or get stabbed by somebody by having the blade in the box
thrown at them. The blade be stuck in your or your opponent's chest. This
trick does not work with any weapons besides daggers, knives, and swords.
Glitch:
Sasuke with sword in his hand: This trick will allow you to play as Sasuke with his sword in
his hand, rather than in his scabbard. Get in a fight as Sasuke and use a
sword technique. If the enemy hits you before you slice them, you will
have your sword in your hand throughout the battle, even during punches.
Using another sword technique will result in the sword being returned to
its scabbard.
Glitch:
Long Sephiroth hair: Sometimes, usually when you are knocked out, while playing as
Sephiroth, his hair goes through his chest and out his back. This occurs
most of the time, and almost 100% of the time in his second outfit.
Glitch:
Reappearing man: In "A Brand New Quest", go directly to the
blacksmith. When you first enter the room, there is only one man there.
Then suddenly another man will flash in his position a few times and
appears. The game is paused during this period it is paused, and it
happens quite fast (about one second).
Glitch:
Sloppy victory pose: When your character does a victory pose, hold R1 or R2.
When the character starts to run out to the other stage, they will do an
evade and run out sloppily.
Glitch:
Get the ladder incorrectly: When you are finished defeating Jo, your victory pose will be
shown. It is where a rope ladder will go down from a helicopter, and you
grab on. If you want to get on the ladder backwards, hold R1 or R2.
When you walk to the ladder, you will evade and grab on to it backwards.
The game will show your character actually holding onto air rather than
the rope ladder.
Glitch:
Godhand (demo version): Towards the end of the introduction sequence, Godhand will be
shown trying to kill Yoko with an ax. In the actual game, it is Dasher
Inoba with the ax in the video. Godhand also looks quite beta looking.
Glitch:
Sloppy victory pose (demo version): When your character does a victory pose, hold L1, L2,
R1, R2 to do an evade on the way out of the stage.
Glitch:
Battle panel (demo version): There is an option to play fighting version or battle panel.
When you select battle panel, it will take you to the main demo selection
screen. Battle panel was removed in the making of the demo, but the
selection still exists.
