Author's Note --------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Version History --------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.0 (December 28th, 1999) ===================================================================== * I've decided to mainly stick with games with few or no faqs, why? Take DK64 - way too many faqs for me to be involved. Don't worry, i'll be doing Banjo-Tooie, Mario Adventure, and the such, but i'll be doing ALOT of SNES games. * First version, so everything is obviously new. Version 1.1 (January 9th, 2000) ===================================================================== * Added to the strategy section. Anything else you'd like to see? Version 1.2 (January 13th, 2000) ===================================================================== * Final version, minor additions, changes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

Codes\Easter Eggs --------------------------------------------------------------------- `.;'",~Passwords`.;'",~ Exhibition Tournament Password: ------------------------------- PC2GKNYB-Q140065C TLWJPC2-GNYBQ14 6PDJSTK-8XD3HRF 065QJNM-FTW Don J Password: --------------- K8XD3HR-FTLWJPCC 2GNYBQ1-4065C6P DJSTK8X-D3HRFTL WJPPDLW-1RK `.;'",~Codes`.;'",~ Secret Code: ------------ On the player select screen, press L five times, X, R seven times, X on Controller Two. Perfect Player: --------------- During a match, press Select to access the score and stats. Then, on Controller 2, press the R button twice, Left, Down, B, A, then the L button twice. You'll hear applause indicating the code was entered correctly. Press A or B on Controller 1, and a bunch of letters and numbers representing the players' abilities will appear. The single digit above the others represents the player being edited. The number will be one less than the player number (e.g. 0 represents player 1) The four rows of 8 digits range from 0-F, with 0 being the lowest and F being the highest. Use the X Button to increase all the numbers and letters to "F" for a perfect player! `.;'",~Easter Eggs`.;'",~ Strange Scene: -------------- Go to the 1 player tournament, the thing where you go around the world to play other people. Start the 1p vs com. mode. When it asks you the question and an option says yes or no, hit no. Continue to do this every time it asks you to play. You will lose every match. Do this until a screen comes up with a guy that has a tennis racket walks into a building. He will be kicked out and the building will fall down. WARNING: You might have to reset the console afterwords. --------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Modes Of Play --------------------------------------------------------------------- `.;'",~Circuit`.;'",~ This is a 1P VS. Computer mode where you travel around the world, trying to win as many points as possible. This is the standard mode of play, although not the most fun. `.;'",~Singles`.;'",~ Now we're talking! This is probably the best mode, as you can vary the length of play, perfect for those quick matches or maybe one of those insanely long matches between you and another skilled opponent. -1P VS. Computer- Well, if you don't like the length or style of circuit, then this is fun. I use it mainly for practice, though. -1P VS. 2P- Without a doubt - the best mode in the game. It's just what it says. Pure, fun one-on-one action. This is extremly fun, AND long if you do a 5 set match on clay with a player of the same skill level! Humans beat computers any day, there is no other way to put it! `.;'",~Doubles`.;'",~ This is a different style, a 2 VS. 2 match, where you take on the computer players with the help of another player. I prefer the single mode, however. -1P,2P VS. Computer- Not the best mode availible, as you tend to get in each others way, stick to the 1-on-1 action! -1P,Com VS. Computer- Not very fun either, simply because i like to be in total control, and this mode prohibits you from doing so. --------------------------------------------------------------------- VII. Controls --------------------------------------------------------------------- -Serving- A: Toss Ball B:Toss Ball D-Pad Down: "Dribble" Ball A While Ball Is In Air: Soft Serve B While Ball Is In Air: Hard Serve -All Other Times- A: Soft Hit, Generally a low shot B: Regular Swing, can be directed X: Hit With Topspin, can be directed Y: High, Slow volley Start: Pause Select: Data L: Left Spin R: Right Spin Notes: The volley can screw up human players, but is hard to aim. My favorite is a directed regular swing, as the topspin doesn't give you as much control. A is VERY effective if you mix it with 3 or 4 hard hits. --------------------------------------------------------------------- VIII. Players --------------------------------------------------------------------- What player should you be? Well that depends on your strengths! Match your strengths with the player's strengths and you'll be even better! - - - Women - - Amy This all-around good player has outstanding power and technique. Her footwork is very good. Kim This veteran player has lost some of her power since her first years in the pro circuit. However, she is still the final word in powerful service and a genius at net play. Lisa Her two-handed stroke can beat most of the other pro women players. Her footwork is excellent. Erin This powerful player is good at both net and stroke play. She seldom fails to return the ball. Donna Except for a slight weakness in her service, Donna has well balanced abilities in all other aspects of play. She is good at stroke play, and not too bad at net play either. Debbie This player is very good at hitting a highly accurate shot to places where the opponent isn't. Colett This stroke player shows her tenacity at the base line. Even though she doesn't have any overly strong abilities, she is a very reliable player. Nancy This player has strong service and is good at a base line game. Yuka The Japanese "ACE" Yuka, is a player who has a consistent stroke. Barb This player has very strong strokes. - - - Men - - - Matt This veteran player has terrific strokes and a consistent service. He has the ability to hit a successful passing shot anywhere in the court. Brian Even though he is not the most powerful, Brian is the most well balanced player. His ability as a net player is combined with good skills at serve, volley, and return of service. Phil His strong service never goes downhill. Phil is an all-around good player who has a good, powerful stroke and jumping volley. John This powerful hitter has the most powerful forehand. His two-handed backhand is also terrific! A great base line player. Meyer This player plays with great tenacity near the base line. An all- around player with powerful stroke, he should end up being ranked high. Rich This player is a genius at net play! Although not always the most powerful, his perfect volley and guts cannot be compared with anyone else. Hiro Another skillful player from Japan, this stroke player persistently returns the ball. His shots are very accurate. Steve This all-around player has a powerful service and is good at both net and stroke play. Rob His mean service is as fast as a bullet. His other abilities are also above average, but he is not always consistent. Mark Mark, a Japanese-American is best known for his "bullet service". --------------------------------------------------------------------- IX. Strategy --------------------------------------------------------------------- This will be the section devoted to beating your HUMAN opponents, not computers. why? Computers are boring, pre-programmed things that cannot make astounding, or hillarious plays. Now that you know what you need to know, let's get on with it! Quick Serve: ------------ On your serve, hit "A" then "B" immediatly after. Works best if you slide your finger from "A" to "B". Alternate: ---------- My favorite way to play is to use 'set plays' which are certain types of hits repeated. Here are a few of my favorite: 1. Volley, Soft Hit, Volley, Hard Hit to either corner... 2. Volley, Volley, Soft Hit, Volley, Volley, Corner Shot... 3. Corner Shot (left), Corner Shot (right), etc, etc... 4. Corner Shot, Soft Hit (opposite side), Corner Shot... Speed: ------ I like to pick a character faster than my opponent for obvious reasons. It makes using the above strategy a bit easier... Study Your Opponent: -------------------- Find out what their strengths and weaknesses are. For example, when i play my friends they can hit a volley to save their life, but when they come at me with a nice soft hit i have problems returning it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- X.

Also any e-mail that looks a bit like this will be disregarded: "Hay Dude Wuz uhp? Lik Huw Du Yu Gat Dat Kee Mn?!" It will be DELETED, get it? `.;'",~Praise`.;'",~ Sure, send it in.
