Secrets Guide by A.J.
-----------------------------------
This guide (hopefully) lists all the secrets in all the games on
this collection. It also explains how to unlock the games. Blue
Sphere isn't in this guide due to a billion kadrillion passwords.
The controls in this guide are for the default Gamecube options,
where A is B, B is A and C is X.

0. Unlocking games
-----------------------------------
Play all the games mentioned in column 2 for the number (##) of
times in column 3 to unlock the game in column 1.
The trick to unlock them the fastest would be to enter a game
and right after it says "Game Log Recorded", push Z and exit.
Repeat (obviously). Also you can turn it off and continue later as
long as you have a memory card in the machine and it saves.
