INTRODUCTION
============================================================================
Back in August last year a game was released on the DS that brought new
meaning to hand-held fighting games. Well a little over one year later,
the same people that brought you Jump Super Stars comes, Jump Ultimate Stars!
And as with last year, several great translators, gamers, and I have
compiled another guide for the use of you the fans. The goal of this guide
is to help those not fluent in Japanese or who are just stuck and need a
little help, complete the game, unlock everything and enjoy the cool new
Wifi features with your friends over the net. Now on with the guide. ^_^
Bear in mind that this is still in the works, and will be finished in due time.
