It's about time Custom Robo received its very own complete FAQ/Walkthrough!
Greetings.  It's me, SpikeDragon!  Thank you for spending less than a second
clicking on this FAQ.  As thanks, I will allow you to continue reading.
This guide is a complete FAQ/Walkthrough.  That's right.  It will cover most
everything in Custom Robo.
This FAQ includes a map of the town, incase you needed help navigating
around.
This FAQ contains detailed walkthoughs on Part 1, A New Journey, and Part 2,
Grand Battle.  Whichever one you need help with, you can check that section
out.
This FAQ will include the parts list.  In other words, it will have all the
parts you are able to obtain in this game.  The ways to unlock the parts are
NOT included in the parts section of this FAQ.  If you are trying to figure
out how to unlock a certain part, they are included in the walkthrough
sections, in the exact point of when they will be unlocked.
This FAQ will contain the Holosseums, with descriptions of them included.
Just like the parts, the ways of unlocking the stages are NOT included in
the Holosseum section of this FAQ.  They are located in the Walkthrough
sections in the exact point of which they are obtained.
This FAQ includes the tips the game gives you itself, along with a few of my
own.  The game covers a lot of the more important advice, so I'd recommend
checking those out.
Also, if you are looking for a spoiler-free walkthrough, you've wandered into
the wrong FAQ.  This FAQ contains many spoilers.  If you do not wish to have
this game spoiled for you, then I'd suggest you attempt playing the game on
your own, or waiting for a spoiler-free walkthrough to be made, which could
take awhile.
Please note that the sub-sections have a smaller title.  This way, you don't
get confused on whether it's a new section or not.
If you need any other assistance in areas that may not be covered in this
Walkthrough, or not covered enough, please feel free to contact me.  My
contact information is in section 12 of this FAQ.
Well, I believe I've covered everything.  Please continue.  I hope you will
enjoy!

4. BASIC CONTROLS                                                          //
//
===========================================================================
Basically, there are 2 sets of controls, due to the fact that you travel
in the real world, then battle in the Holosseum.  Memorize these as best
as you can.  You don't want to mess up in the middle of the game.
REAL WORLD CONTROLS
-------------------
Control Stick - Move
A - Talk, Check Locations/Objects
Start - Pause the game
HOLOSSEUM CONTROLS
------------------
Control Stick - Move
A - Jump
A+A - Air-Dash, Continuous Jump
B - Fire Gun
L - Fire Pod
R - Fire Bomb
X - Dash
Y - Switch Targets (If against more than one robo)
CUp - First-Person Mode
CDown - Third-Person Mode
That's about it.  You might want to spend a little time practicing in the
multiplayer modes before beginning A New Journey.  It takes a bit of time
to get used to this game.
==============================================================================

5. WALKTHROUGH - A NEW JOURNEY                                             //
//
===========================================================================
Ah, here we are.  The first part of the one-player mode; A New Journey!
Nervous?  Don't be.  This is fairly easy at the start, so if you haven't
practiced, you should be able to get the hang of this quickly.  Have fun!
This section will cover the following sub-sections.
5A. Prologue

5A. PROLOGUE                                                                //
=============================================================================
The screen stays blank for awhile.  After a brief silence, the telephone
rings.  You, the hero, answer it.  It's your father.  You engage in a short
conversation.  He asks you to come outside for a quick moment.  After putting
the phone down, you, confused, go outside to greet your father.
He remembers your birthday, and has a present for you.  After holding out
your hand, he gives you a strange watch.  He tells you that it is a very
special watch, which nobody else has, then says that it is your's.  Excited,
you decide to put it on.  Your dad then asks you to promise to never take it
off, then to promise that you'll always think of him when you wear it, and
to keep it safe.
Your father's cell phone will ring.  After answering, your dad will tell you
he has to go to a far-away place.  He reminds you of the promises you've
kept, then gets into a car, and drives off.  You are now left alone,
wondering where you beloved father has gone, and why you will never be able
to see him again...
==============================================================================
5B. DAY 1: EMPLOYMENT                                                       //
=============================================================================
You are woken up by the landlady, Lucy.  She tells you about he interview
you must attend at the Steel Hearts.  You get dressed up, and then are ready
to go.
Walk out of the apartment.  Turn left, and you'll begin to talk with Lucy
once again.  She'll talk with you about your father, and how he wanted you
to become a commander.  That's probably why you're going to Steel Hearts.
Go down to leave your complex.  When the map appears, begin heading up.  On
your left, you'll see the Steel Hearts.
Once inside, talk to the bald man sitting behind the counter.  Answer the
questions Ernest, the bald guy mentioned before, asks you during the
interview.  The blond man sitting on the couch will come over after hearing
your interview.  Ernest will answer his phone, and talk with the other person
about a burglary at the lab.  After Harry is assigned with the case, you
decide to tag along.
You and Harry will both leave the Steel Hearts building.  Harry will lead
you upward a bit more until you reach the Research Lab.
When you enter, you'll see police officers and burglars facing each other.
Their fists are clenched, and they have blue and black auras around them.  A
blonde woman will appear in front of you.  The woman goes by the name of
Linda.  She tells you that the burglars are attempting to steal their
newest robo, Ray 01.  After Harry flirts with her a bit, he runs over to one
of the burglars, and has the same blue and black aura surround him.  I know
it's kind of confusing, but you'll find out what they're doing in a bit.
You ask Linda about the it, and she'll tell you that they're battling in a
place known as the Holosseum.  The Holosseum is a sort of virtual
battlefield, where people battle against each other with custom made robots.
After explaining what's happening, Linda asks you to help Harry, who's still
battling against the burglar.
You will have control over your hero again.  Walk over to Harry, and try to
talk to him.  You will cause him to be distracted, and lose against the
burglar.  The burglar will seem amused.
After talking with Harry a bit, walk over to the cube and press the A
button to get an eye-scan of the cube.  This cube will become your's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Body
Name: Ray 01
Yay, your first robo!  Ray 01 is a fairly balanced robo.  He's a Shining
Fighter model, which is the most balanced type of robo you can get.  Don't
worry if you dislike his look; more robos will come in the future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Gun
Name: Basic
The most basic gun you can get.  It shoots 3 bullets at a time, which sounds
good, but trust me.  There are a lot of guns that are better.  Meh, it's
your first gun, so I guess you can be happy about that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Bomb
Name: Standard
Whoah, what a big change from the name "Basic."  This is your average bomb.
Nothing really special about it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Pod
Name: Standard
Yet another standard weapon.  It's the most basic pod.  Use it until you find
something better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Legs
Name: Standard
You getting bored of the standard weapons yet?  This is, yet again, another
average weapon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approach the burglar that defeated Harry.  He'll ask you if you really want
to fight him.  Eh, what do you think?  En garde!
=========================
Burglar                 |
========================|
Body: Splendor          |
Gun: Basic              |
Bomb: Standard          |
Pod: Standard           |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Basic Arena             |
=========================
It's your first battle.  Splendor is a Shining Fighter Model, just like you.
He just has a better defense stat than you, and a lower speed stat than you
as well.
The burglar is using the same weapons as you are.  There are several walls
you can use as cover.  Dodge your opponents shots as much as possible.
Fire your gun at different angles, as to confuse him.  Don't continuously
shoot with you gun.  A good idea is to include you bomb and pods in the
gameplay as well.  When your opponent's HP reach 0, you've won your very
first match!
Your opponent will fall down after being defeated.  How'd Harry lose to
such an easy robo, we'll never know.  Just when you feel you deserve a
break, one of the police officers is defeated by one of the burglars.  What
else should you do other than keep the burglar from stealing Ray 01?
Before you begin the match, Harry will give you some tips about bombs and
pods.  Bear that in mind, and face your next opponent!
=========================
Burglar                 |
========================|
Body: Metal Ape         |
Gun: Basic              |
Bomb: Standard          |
Pod: Standard           |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Basic Arena             |
=========================
Your next opponent uses the Metal Ape.  The Metal Ape is a Metal Grappler
model.  Be careful!  The Metal Ape has excellent offense and defense stats!
However, his speed is extremely low, and due to his heavy weight, it's hard
for him to dodge your attacks.  Keep your distance as much as possible, then
fire when his guard is down.  Eventually, you'll be able to pull off a win.
After defeating this burglar, the game will save for you.  However, that
doesn't mean you're done.  Another police officer will be defeated.  You
must take the next burglar!
Before starting, Harry will give you some more tips, this time about jumping
and charging.  Get ready.
=========================
Burglar                 |
========================|
Body: Splendor          |
Gun: Basic              |
Bomb: Standard F        |
Pod: Standard           |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Basic Arena             |
=========================
This opponent is almost identical to the first burglar.  The only difference
is the Standard F bomb, which throws you sideways for the same amount of
damage as the Standard bomb.  Nothing special about it.  Defeat this opponent
like you usually do, and move on.
After defeating the burglar, another police officer will go down.  Before
facing the next burglar, go to the parts generator, which is a glowing post
towards the top of the lab.  Press A in front of it to activate it, and it'll
give you a part obtained from the burglar you just defeated!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Pod
Name: Twin Flank F
Finally, a part that has absolutely nothing to do with Basic or Standard
mumbo jumbo!  The Twin Flank Pod F fires two pods on both your sides.  Just
like the Standard F I told you about, it throws your opponent sideways.
It's a pretty useful pod, better than the Standard, in my opinion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, this is the last burglar standing.  Get ready to take him down!
Before battling, Harry will now give you tips about speeding up robo
transformation.  Be prepared!
=========================
Burglar                 |
========================|
Body: Metal Bear        |
Gun: 3-Way              |
Bomb: Standard F        |
Pod: Feint F            |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Basic Arena             |
=========================
You may notice this burglar is the big guns in the group.  He now only has
one Standard part, compared to all the other burglars.  There are 2 new parts
this burglar is using.  The first is the 3-Way gun.  This new gun fires 3
bullets in 3 differnet directions.  The Feint F pod explodes right next to
you when deployed.  Be sure to have a massive need to dodge!  Be sure
to keep your distance, and hide a lot.  If you're left open, he'll use his
new gun and pod, which deal massive damage, and are hard to dodge.  Attack
him with a good shot from your gun or bomb, and you should take him down
fairly easily.
After defeating this burglar, go to the parts generator again.  There's
another part waiting for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Gun
Name: 3-Way
Ah, it seems as though you've obtained a valuable prize from your worthy
opponent!  The 3-way gun, like stated before, fires 9 bullets in 3 different
directions.  It has more power than the Basic Gun, and is more difficult to
dodge from a distance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game will now automatically save for you.
After you've defeated the final burglar, you're done battling for the day.
The lab workers and scientists will come out to help clean up the place.
Mira, Harry's brother, comes over to you.  She works for the Police Squad,
and will come to talk with you and Harry for a brief moment.  She and another
Police Squad member will leave after the conversation, then Linda will come
over, asking you to test out the new robo for her.  You agree.
During the conversation, they will ask you what your name is.  That is when
you will name your character.  You can name him whatever you want to.  I
chose the name Yoshi, due to my obsession with the Nintendo character, Yoshi,
but it's up to you.
Linda will leave after the chat, and Harry will tell you to talk to the Lab
Technicians cleaning up.  He says that they all have some valuable
information that you can learn about.
From left to right, you'll learn the following; The Lab, Getting Experience/
Part Generators, Definition of Commander, Eye-scan Registration, Parts of a
Robo, Diving, Robo Forms/Holosseums, and Parts Generators/Glossary/Gun
Ranges.
After speaking with the lab techs, talk to Harry again.  Together, you'll
both walk out of the lab, and head back down to the Steel Hearts
Headquarters.  Because Ernest is so impressed with your performance at the
lab, he decides to hire you.  He'll then tell you about the low salary, and
you'll be quite disappointed.  You should probably leave now, because
there's not much else to do.  Choose to go home when you are given the
options.  You deserve the rest!
The game will now automatically save for you.
==============================================================================
5C. DAY 2: TRAINING                                                         //
=============================================================================
Lucy will wake you up once again.  Get dressed, and go outside.  After
talking with her, head out to the Steel Hearts Headquarters.
Your boss, Ernest, will tell you to head out to the Training Gym for...well,
training.
Walk out of the headquarters.  You'll head down, and right to the Training
Gym.
Upon entering the Training Gym, you'll speak to Harry.  He suggests you two
battle it out one on one.
=========================
Harry                   |
========================|
Body: Glory             |
Gun: Gatling            |
Bomb: Crescent P        |
Pod: Speed P            |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Diamond Fences          |
=========================
Harry has some new parts you haven't seen before.  First off, the Gatling
gun.  The rounds aren't as strong as the 3-way, but the Gatling is a rapid
fire type of gun, shooting 8 rounds at you at a great speed.
The Crescent P flys in a crescent, then knocks the opposing robo down.  It's
a useful bomb when it comes to uncovering hiding foes.
The Speed P is an extremely fast pod.  It's accuracy isn't very good, so
it should be shot relatively close to the opponent to be of any use.
Glory is another Shining Fighter model.  Its Speed stat is greather than that
of Ray 01, but it has a weaker Defense.
Use the walls as cover.  Fire your shots at perfect timing to take your
opponent down quickly.  Don't stand out in the open, because the Gatling Gun
will finish you for sure.  Put all your practice with burglars to the test.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW HOLOSSEUM
Name: Diamond Fences
Ah, the stage you fought in against Harry.  This stage is more interesting
than the Basic Arena and Practice Stages.  If playing with your friends,
I think this would be the one to use for now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game will automatically save for you.
After your battle with Harry, go to the nearest Parts Generator for a new
part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Bomb
Name: Standard S
The Standard S is basically a Standard that temporarily stuns your opponent.
This time could be used to take cover while your opponent is down, making
this bomb much more useful than the Standard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter the Holosseum Deck.  Here, you see a series of strange machines.  These
can actually be battled like a person!  Talk to the first machine when you're
ready.
Before the match begins, the computer will give you tips about being knocked
down.
=========================
Computer                |
========================|
Body: Buggy             |
Gun: Basic              |
Bomb: Standard          |
Pod: Dolphin            |
Legs: Short Thrust      |
------------------------|
Diamond Fences          |
=========================
The Dolphin pod is the fastest pod you've seen so far.  Be sure not to be hit
by one of them; it could be ugly.  The Short Thrust legs have decreased this
computer's air-dash ability.  Use this to your advantage.
The computer's robo, Buggy, is a Trick Flyer model.  Its Attack and Defense
stats are pretty good, but its Speed stat is terrible.
Try standing from a distance and shooting Buggy with your gun.  Due to its
Speed, it won't be able to dodge too many of your bullets.  Use your pods
to keep it from leaving your range.  Also, be sure to avoid the Dolphin pods
while doing this.  If you don't, it could get ugly.
After you've defeated the computer, walk over to the Parts Generator for yet
another new part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Pod
Name: Speed S
The Speed Pod S moves very quickly on the ground.  Though it may sound good,
it isn't very accurate in finding your opponent.  If using the Speed S, try
releasing them in different areas, as to get a better chance at hitting your
opponent.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk to the next computer to battle.  This computer will give you tips on
Trick Flyers.
=========================
Computer                |
========================|
Body: Buggy             |
Gun: 3-Way              |
Bomb: Standard F        |
Pod: Standard           |
Legs: Wide Jump         |
------------------------|
High-Rise Plaza         |
=========================
Wow, this Buggy really wants to fight with you, doesn't he?  His new legs,
Wide Jump, allow him to jump greater distances.  This could be a problem, as
you remember the Buggy before didn't have this advantage.  Well, his weakness
is gone...oh dear.
Try to stay close when the Buggy is firing.  As the game states, the 3-Way
gun is more accurate at a distance, due to the fact that there are 3 bullets
homing in on you.  If you stay close, there are only 3.  Dodge those, then
hit him with a powerful gunshot or bomb.  Be sure to use the walls a lot when
at a distance.  The Buggy's 3-Way could get you easily.  Jump from your
hiding place as soon as he's left open, so you can get him easily.  Fire
your pods and bombs to knock him off guard as well.  You'll probably win
after awhile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW HOLOSSEUM
Name: High-Rise Plaza
Woo, the High-Rise Plaza.  This stage is basically a stage with a bunch of
walls and triangular platforms.  The walls are very useful for dodging
attacks from guns, so be sure to use those a lot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this battle, go to the Parts Generator again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Body
Name: Criminal
Your first new robo!  The Criminal is a Trick Flyer model.  In other words,
it is a robo capable to doing 3 continuous dashes in the air.  They're
fairly balanced, so you can use them pretty accurately.  The Criminal is
balanced like the name states, so whether you use it or Ray 01 doesn't matter
too much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you've gotten the part you needed, head over to fight the third
computer.  This time, this computer will talk about why not to stop moving
during the middle of a battle.
=========================
Computer                |
========================|
Body: Peregrine         |
Gun: 3-Way              |
Bomb: Standard S        |
Pod: Dolphin            |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Diamond Fences          |
=========================
Another new robo.  The Peregrine is a Little Raider model.  It's extremely
fast compared to both your robos, making it very difficult to hit.  However,
being hit by even one bullet will cause it to fall.  It will be hard to
avoid, due to the fact that it is very fast, but you should be able to get
it eventually.  I recommend using the 3-Way gun from a distance, and taking
cover when possible.  You'll win eventually.
After the battle, go to the Parts Generator yet again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Bomb
Name: Gemini P
The Gemini P has 2 different functions, based on whether your robo is on the
ground or in the air.  When on the ground, the bombs are fired left and
right.  In the air, it is fired from the front and the back.  It's a pretty
decent bomb.  You pick which you want to use now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're finally ready for the last computer.  Go over and talk to it.  It
will tell you about Slide Shots.  Slide Shots are when you fire your gun
while you're running.  You'll slide, and go under cover if you've done it
correctly.  Get ready!
=========================
Computer                |
========================|
Body: Peregrine         |
Gun: Gatling            |
Bomb: Standard          |
Pod: Cockroach H        |
Legs: Ground            |
------------------------|
High-Rise Plaza         |
=========================
The Cockroach H is a pod that moves slowly until it gets close to your
opponent.  It will then speed up in an attempt to hit you.  Keep your
distance from these guys, and you should do pretty well.
The Ground legs allow sharper turns, which works extremely well with the
Peregrine robo.  You'd better watch out from this guy.
On top of it all, this Peregrine has the Gatling Gun.  Try your best to
avoid the Cockroach pod, while at the same time, avoid being hit by the
Gatling.  Then, use the computer's advice, and use frequent slide shots in
order to avoid being hit while firing.
The game will now automatically save for you.
After the Peregrine is defeated, walk over to the Parts Generator one more
time to receive a new part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Pod
Name: Cockroach H
Isn't this the pod the Peregrine used?  Well, you know what it does.  It
moves slowly, then attacks your opponent at a great speed when close.  Not
much else to tell you there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ernest will call you, asking to get Harry to call him.  After the call, go
to the reception counter, and you'll find Harry flirting with another girl.
Harry will call Ernest, and after being beaten with words, he is told that
there is more work at Hub Park.  You both must go there.
On the map, Harry will lead you to the Hub Park.  It's the circular area
in the middle of the map.
When there, you'll see two guys battling.  A girl named Mary will tell you
that they're fighting because they're fighting over her.  She'll leave, and
Harry will ask you to pick one of the guys to fight.  Just pick whichever one
you want, then get ready to battle.
=========================
Anthony                 |
========================|
Body: Criminal          |
Gun: Gatling            |
Bomb: Crescent P        |
Pod: Feint G            |
Legs: Long Thrust       |
------------------------|
Flower Garden           |
=========================OR
Thomas                  |
========================|
Body: Splendor          |
Gun: Gatling            |
Bomb: Straight G        |
Pod: Speed D            |
Legs: Standard          |
------------------------|
Flower Garden           |
=========================
If you selected Anthony, then you'd better look out for the Crescent P, and
the Gatling combination.  Also, the Long Thrust legs increase the Criminal's
ability to air-dash, so be ready.  Just stay behind cover to dodge the
Gatling gun, then fire when he's left vulnerable.
If you selected Thomas, he uses the Straight G bomb.  This bomb blows you out
from behind cover, leaving you ready for another attack, so be careful.
Just get him when he's at a distance.  He continuously gets close to you, so
you're going to have to keep that up for awhile.
Honestly, I suggest you go up against Anthony.  Thomas is more difficult with
his weaponry.  On top of that, they both give you the same parts.  It's just
easier.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW HOLOSSEUM
Name: Flower Garden
The Flower Garden is a stage with a lot of grass.  It's a nice change
compared to the robotic-looking stages you've seen so far.  There's an arch
in the middle of the holosseum.  You can use that for cover from a gun or
bomb.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that battle, you and Harry will be talking to each other.  The boys
will attempt to tackle you, but a girl will alert you before they can.
The girl is Marcia, a girl who also works at Steel Hearts.  She will ask you
what license you have.  When you don't know, she'll tell you that you could
be arrested with you're unlicensed.  You wouldn't want that to happen, would
you?  After the conversation, go to a Parts Generator for 2 new parts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Pod
Name: Reflection
The Reflection Pod is capable of firing 3 pods that go Pinball on you.
They'll bounce around the place until they explode on their own.  They're
pretty useful in smaller arenas.  Use it to your advantage then.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Legs
Name: Long Thrust
The Long Thrust was used by Anthony.  The Long Thrust, like stated before,
increases your air-dash ability.  It's good for all robos except the ones who
jump in the air, rather than dash.  Don't use it then.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you get your parts, head over to the Steel Hearts Headquarters one more
time.
Marcia will tell Ernest about your license problem, and it is decided that
you will head over to be licensed tomorrow.  That's probably a good thing,
because you've already had a rough day.  Anyways, you talk about what
licenses you have.  It seems as if Marcia has a higher class than both you
and Harry, but it doesn't matter too much.  You are excused for the rest of
the day.  You'll need the rest, anyways.
The game will now automatically save for you.
==============================================================================
5D. DAY 3: GETTING LICENSED                                                 //
=============================================================================
Once again, you have to be woken up by Lucy.  She tells you go take your
test.  Get dressed, and head outside.
When you leave the complex, head over to the dome to your right.  When you're
inside, you'll find Harry flirting again.  He'll tell you to take the test,
and will give you an exam card.
Make sure you're ready.  When you are, head over to the open computer, which
is located at the far right of the room.  Press A in front of it to begin
your battle.
The computer you are facing tests your knowledge.  He'll ask you 10 questions
based on this game.  Use these answers to each question.
Q - What is the name of a person who controls a Custom Robo?
A - Commander
Q - What is it called when a person and his robo become one?
A - A Dive
Q - What is it called when your robo is in its easy-to-carry form?
A - Robo Cube
Q - What is the Custom Robo research center also known as?
A - Laboratory
Q - Which license class do you need in order to join the police squad?
A - Class A
Q - What is the name of the arena where Custom Robos fight?
A - Holosseum
Q - What is the name of the machine that transfers Custom Robo data?
A - Parts Generator
Q - Which of the following is an actual Custom Robo part?
A - Pod
Q - The proper name of this testing hall is called the Custom Robo...
A - Department of Licensing
Q - What question number are we on?
A - 10th Question
The computer will calculate your score.  If you got a passing score, you will
begin the battle.  Be prepared to get that license!
=========================
Computer                |
========================|
Body: Buggy             |
Gun: 3-Way              |
Bomb: Gemini B          |
Pod: Cockroach G        |
Legs: Quick Jump        |
------------------------|
Crevice Court           |
=========================
You've covered all of these parts already.  Though Gemini B and Cockroach G
don't have the same name as the other 2 parts, they're basically the same
things, just with slightly different stats.
This Buggy should be easier for you, due to the fact it has the Quick Jump.
That definitely doesn't help a robo who is a Trick Flyer model.  Trick Flyers
have a good air distance, so this just makes your battle a whole lot easier.
Avoid the shots from the 3-Way.  As you already know, the 3-Way is more
accurate from a distance.  So, the best thing you can do is fire from close
range without getting hit.  Stay away from him, and fire your gun at every
open moment to get his HP down quickly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW HOLOSSEUM
Name: Crevice Court
The Crevice Court is kind of odd.  It's a very irregular holosseum that has
a bunch of walls, and irregular obstacles.  It's pretty good for robos with
long range weapons, or swift pods.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW LICENSE
Name: Class-D License
Well, it's your first license.  You're now officially a Bounty Hunter!
Congratulations!  Well, it's not too impressive, but at least you won't get
arrested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you have obtained your Class-D License, you can head over to the Parts
Generator for another new part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PART
Part: Legs
Name: Feather
The Feather Legs will decrease the speed at which your robo falls after a
jump.  It also decreases your chances of being hit upon landing, and will
increase your turning accuracy.  It's a pretty useful leg when it comes to
robos with continuous jumps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're all set, go over and talk with Harry.  After your chat, head over
to the Steel Hearts.  After you tell Ernest about your successful test, he'll
tell Harry to walk you home.
When you go into the house, Harry will talk to himself about calling Trish,
the receptionist he was flirting with before you got to the Department of
Licensing.  He'll run, but notice that he drops the slip of paper with
Trish's phone number.
You may think that it's sad, but you'll later find out that losing the phone
number does a lot more harm than that...
The game will now automatically save for you.
==============================================================================
5E. DAY 4: THE PROBLEM NEXT DOOR                                            //
=============================================================================
Lucy will wake you up again.  Get dressed as you usually do, then head
outside.
Upon leaving your apartment, you'll hear a lot of screaming and yelling.
It seems to be coming from your neighbor's apartment.  Ignore it for now.
Leave your complex, and head out to the Steel Hearts.
Ernest will tell you to go back home.  The yelling had occurred before your
neighbors, Walt and Carmen, entered a robo battle.  You and Harry are
assigned the job.
Harry is pretty down right now.  It's probably because he lost the phone
number from Trish.  On the way, he'll sigh a few times, but keep going back
to your home.
Enter your complex, and go next door.  Inside, you and Harry see Walt and
Carmen fighting each other.  You are told by Harry to battle Carmen, while
he takes Walt.  Get ready to battle!
Before you do, Carmen throws in some information about the Metal Ape.
=========================
Carmen                  |
========================|
Body: Metal Ape         |
Gun: Blade              |
Bomb: Straight T        |
Pod: Feint F            |
Legs: Long Thrust       |
------------------------|
Magma Hole              |
=========================
The only new part you see on Carmen's robo is the Blade.  The Blade gun one
single bullet at a time.  It's very easy to dodge.  Even if you haven't been
able to dodge it, the gun isn't very powerful, so you won't take too much
damage.
Don't step on the octagon in the center.  It sinks into the ground, and a
pit of lava will appear.  If you step in that, you'll get an automatic down,
and 100+ HP taken out of you.  4 words; don't step in it.
Run around at shoot at every possible opportunity.  You'll need it, as Metal
Ape can withstand quite a bit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW HOLOSSEUM
Name: Magma Hole
The Magma Hole is the stage you just battle in.  The Magma Hole is a series
of walls and obstacles.  In the center is the octagon with lava beneath it.
Quite a cool holosseum.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game will now automatically save for you.
It says you have received a new part.  However, you can't get it just yet.
When you defeat Carmen, and Harry defeats Walt, they'll both make up, and
go for both of you.
Before you battle, Harry tells you about a 2-On-2 Battle.  Be careful; your
bombs and pods can hurt Harry.  Also, you now can use the Y button to
switch between targets.
