F-ZERO for Game Boy Advance (C)2001 Nintendo
This FAQ (C)2001 John Ricciardi. All Rights Reserved.

This FAQ is designed to explain how to open up the various "extras"
in F-ZERO for Game Boy Advance. It is not a strategy guide, nor is
it a translation guide. Very simple. I also threw in Machine Specs
just for the heck of it, as well as the Ranking Password Code for
use with future Ranking tournaments that may arise. Enjoy!

NOTE: This FAQ is based on the JAPANESE version of F-ZERO: Maximum
Velocity. Any changes that were made for the overseas versions of
the game (U.S., Europe, etc.) are beyond my control. Sorry!

8. UNLOCK HIDDEN MACHINE "FIGHTING COMET"

9. UNLOCK HIDDEN MACHINE "JET VERMILION"

There are three ways to open up Jet Vermilion:

1. Clear all four series (Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Queen) with EACH of
the previous nine Machines on Master Class.

2. Complete the Championship Circuit 255 times without quitting
mid-race (do not choose "GIVE UP" - you must finish).

3. There is a code on Nintendo's Japanese home page to unlock Jet
Vermilion, but the code differs depending on your Entry Name. Here's
how to get your own code (you must be able to view Japanese
characters on your web browser in order to do this):

  Step 1: Go to http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/afzj/vermil/index.html

  Step 2: Down at the bottom, you will see a keypad, followed by
          three buttons underneath it (the three buttons are
          "Backspace," "Reset" and "Confirm"). Type your Entry Name
          into the blank space (i.e. "JOHN" for me), or use the
          supplied keypad. When finished, hit the "Confirm" button.
          You will be taken to a new page with a password at the top.
          Write down the password.

  Step 3: Turn on F-ZERO for Game Boy Advance and head to the "Grand
          Prix" mode (the topmost mode). At the Machine Select
          screen, press:

                      L, R, START, R, L, SELECT

          A password screen will appear. Input the password you
          received from the web site, and choose "OK." If you did
          everything properly, you will now have Jet Vermilion at
          your disposal. Congrats! (Cheater!)

* - Remember, your password will only work with YOUR Entry Name!

=====================================================================

10. RANKING PASSWORD

In F-ZERO for Game Boy Advance, you can obtain a password for your
best times on any Circuit. Simply go to "Ranking" at the main menu,
choose a Series, choose your game (i.e. "JOHN" for me), choose a
Course, and then at the Course Ranking screen, do the following:

Hold "L" and press Up, Right, Right, B, Left, B, Right, A.

The Course name at the top will change into a password. This can be
used for special promotional tournaments, such as the "Nintendo
Official Championship Tournament" which took place at Nintendo's
Japanese home page from April 21 to May 31.
