III.) FAQ's

Q. I have heard after getting the max amount 
of points in the mini-games mode scores another extra. Is     
that true? What is the max amount of points you can get?

A. My friend, whoever told you that 
is full of shit. I don't like to use language, but I'm getting 
straight to the point. He or She is full of shit. Another BOGUS 
cheat is that after beating the game on the same file 10 times in 
a row, that you can play as Toguro. The most amount 
of points you can get is 1200. 400 from the Jagon 
(Rock-Paper-Scisorrs), 400 from the 
Bagon (punching game), and 400 from the Karoke.

Q. Hey, stupid, the names you use are all wrong. 
The name for Yusuke's main attack is spirit gun, not Reigun, and you 
also named the special artifacts and items wrong. 
(notice that isn't even a question)

A. Hey stupid, no they aren't. I'm sorry that I'm not kissing your 
ass over this, but the only name I may have gotten
wrong would be the second demon of the triad, 
because I forgot his name. While they may be named one 
way in the game, I prefer to use their real names, 
according to the mangas. If you don't like that, 
you little cretin, then go find another fucking guide 
(once again, sorry about the language). 
And to all you other cretins who may send me this 
"question," Read the damn FAQ first. 
Besides, to call me wrong would be to call Yoshiro Togashi, 
The WRITER of Yu Yu Hakusho wrong.

IV.) Walkthrough

-------------------
 A. Undead Saga
-------------------

You start as Yusuke. Just follow the compass. Soon you run into Kuwabara 
and two of his goons. Just beat them all to continue. Cross the street to 
your right, then run down the sidewalk south. talk to the kid, then follow 
him to the road. You will have a scene where Yusuke gets ran over. you 
find your self in a foggy location with a big gold egg in the center. When 
you get close enough, the egg opens, and you must fight the spirit beast. 
Look in the bosses section to find the strategy I used.

Now you are on the next level. You are now Kuwabara, posessed by Yusuke. You
have roughly ten minutes to find Keiko. First go to the school, which is 
closed. Remember to fight anything that comes to you, so you can get to 
level two. Next, head to the cafe, whick is also closed. Finally, go to 
what appears to be a grocery store next to the school, and there Keiko 
is. (if you pay attention, you notice that in the game, her name is 
spelled Kayko Ukimura, whereas her name is really spelled Keiko Yukimura. 
Why that matters, I have no idea but...)

In the next level, you are Kuwabara again, this time as Kuwabara. 
You can't fight in this level, so watch your health. All the homework 
you have to get is 50% and get to the school. If you get 100% however, 
you get a boost to your health as Kuwabara. Each of the pieces of 
homework is 5%. I can't help much in this level, but I got 10% 
then ran down the sidewalk to the road where Yusuke's outline is, 
then I followed the radar, leaving the one next to the school for last.

Next you play as Keiko to get to Yusuke's house, whick is burning. 
Once again, watch your health. About halfway through, Keiko goes 
in the house and has a time limit. Hit switches to open doors. 
Head north, then forward as far as possible, then south as possible, 
then go to the right. If you did this correctly, there will be a room 
with no switches and what looks like a wall of fire. Go through the 
space in the fire at the south. then go through the scene and run 
to Yusuke's body. Go through the cut scene to end the level, and the Saga.

----------------------------
 B. Three Treasures Saga
----------------------------

You are Yusuke, alive once again. Go to the cafe, where you see Kuwabara, 
a punk with glasses, and three thugs in red uniforms. When you get close 
to Kuwabara, a cut scene will begin, and Kuwabara and Sakamoto, the punk 
with glasses, will run away, leaving you with the thugs. Run south and 
face them, so when you attack one of them, you damage them all. After 
you beat them, run after Sakamoto. He will show up with more thugs. 
beat them like you did the first wave. Then, chase Sakamoto again. 
Beat his final three thugs, then chase him again. When you catch up, 
Kuwabara wants to finish him off. You fight as Kuwabara 
fighting his first boss. Look in the bosses section for a strategy.

Now, on the next level, Yusuke is looking for a few treasures then, 
he needs to find Goki, the thief of the Rapacious Orb. This level 
may be easier, seeing as how Yusuke has the Rei Gun now. The See-through 
Glass is next to school. The Aura Booster Ring is on the other side of 
the river. And the Demonic-Aura Meter is at a Warehouse at the bottom 
of town. Go to the side of the bridge that you found the ring, And go 
to the park to finish the level.

On the next level, You start by beating the hell out of Goki's human form. 
Beat him like a red-headed stepchild. See the bosses strategy on how to 
fight him. Then you have to fight him in his soul sucking oni form. 
Check the Bosses section on how to beat him.

On the next level, Yusuke must fight through zombies to get to the hospital, 
where Kurama, the thief of the mirror of darkness, is. A cut-scene will happen,
and Yusuke gets the treasure. You should have the spirit punch by now. Go to 
where the Aura Booster Ring was and find Hiei the first time. Hiei and Yusuke 
will talk, and Hiei will disappear and summon 4 Zombies. defeat them and find 
Hiei again to fight 4 more of them. Then, chase Hiei to the warehouse to finish the level.

In the next level, you'll be at the warehouse full of zombies. beat 'em all. 
Then go to the next area to fight Hiei for the Conjuring Blade. Check the bosses 
section for how to fight him.

-------------------------------
 C. Genkai Tournament Saga
-------------------------------

In the next level, Run up to the stairs to trigger a cut-scene with 
Kuwabara. Then follow Genkai to the temple. Now, you need to get a 
combined score from the three games of 750 points. After you get those 
points. Run through the door and end the level.

Next, in the woods, run to the left at the fork, then at the next fork, 
run to the right, then left again. If you aren't at a screen that looks 
different, run to the right at the next fork. At another screen, head up
the center path. at the next screen, you must fight the bat master, Baldok. 
Check the bosses section for that strategy.

Now you have a tournament to fight. The first match is Yusuke vs. Kibano 
in a pitch black arena. Check the bosses section. next you must fight 
Kaze-Maru in a swamp. Check the bosses section.

In the next level, you must fight Shaolin in the finals of this tournament. 
Check the bosses section for a good strategy. After you fight, 
Rando appears where you beat Shaolin. Check the bosses section on how to fight Rando.

Now, Yusuke has to get 1000 points total in this level.

In the final level, Yusuke must fight Genkai. Check the Bosses section. 
Beating Genkai awards you the shotgun.

------------------
  a.)Bonus Level
------------------

Now, you are Kuwabara fighting a Urameshi dummy that you made. Hit him 
once and let the exp. get to you and do that until you lower his health. It 
should raise you 3-4 levels. Once his health hits zero, Kuwabara wil destroy 
the dummy with an aura sword. Run to the top-left corner to hit a switch. 
Cross the bridge and follow the path to the end of the level, fighting whatever 
comes at you.

------------------------
 D. Saint Beasts Saga
------------------------

You are Yusuke, at the bottom of an S-shaped map. After a while, you run into a 
group of midgets in robes. If they get close enough, they'll grab you and chew 
on your flesh. If they do grab you, tap the A Button continuously. After you 
destroy them, run up the map and find more of them. Defeat them and go a little
farther to find two with darker robes. Destroy those final two and travel further 
up the map to trigger a scene where a load of those midgets pop up, Kuwabara 
comments about them wanting to eat him, and Hiei and Kurama destroy them. Then, 
they join you, both at level 10. Go a little farther to get to the gate of 
betrayal, where you play as Hiei and you have to hit the switch in the top 
right corner of the map in the time limit. After that, teleport to the ground 
behind you and run to the left to finish the level.

Next, you must use Botan to beat one of the zombies until two roundworm creatures 
come out, which you must use her spirit spray on. Just destroy 10 zombies to end the level.

Now, you must find a door in the north and go through the laser patterns to find 
a switch. Go back to where you came to cross a bridge you couldn't earlier. go through 
the new door you see, to fight Genbu, the first of the four saint beasts. Check the bosses 
section on Genbu.

Next, you have to push rocks with Kuwabara into holes to reach Byakko's lair. after you 
make into the lair, the level ends.

Now you must fight Byakko as Kuwabara. Check the bosses section for info on this fight.

Next, you must go to the top left corner of the room and find five closed doors with 
a switch to the left. hit the switch, then go into each room and flip all the switches 
to get to the 5th door where Seiyru, the third Saint Beast is. Hiei challenges Seiyru 
and you must defeat him to continue. Check the bosses section to get info on this fight.

Now, Suzaku has sent production-model hominids to stop you. just kill all of them to 
continue, then in the next area, scale the stairs and go through the door at the top, 
and you enter the final battle with Suzaku, with which you should check the bosses section.

------------------
 E. Toguro Saga
------------------

Now, with all of your party, follow the dirt path. At the end of the path, you fight a spider
boss. You know what to do.

Follow the path again until you get to a demon boss. check the strategies for info, as you 
will with all bosses from here on. Follow the path and get to Demon 2. After beating him, 
follow the path to find Demon 3. Then, make your way across the field, avoiding the mines. 
Make it past the laser pattern to get to the Tarukane Mansion. The main door is locked so 
enter the next room, with a genetically enhanced demon. Beat it and go to the first door 
and enter the mansion.

Now Yusuke must fight Myaki, the first demon of the triad. After that, you enter the mansion. 
Be careful here, unless you are looking for experience. Tarukane has surveilence cameras all 
over. After you find the right path, enter the room to fight the second demon of the Triad, 
Goshinburu. After you enter the next room, you fight the last member of the Triad, Gokumonki. 
Find the right path, and watch for cameras again. Enter the room you find at the end of the 
path to end with the level.

Now, You must fight Toguro twice, once as Yusuke, and once as Kuwabara. Check the bosses 
section.

Now, you must fight clones of Rando and Suzaku. Just do what you did for the first time, 
and take one at a time. Finally to end the game, you fight Tarukane. Check the bosses 
section. Defeating Tarukane lets you play as Genkai (Level 15) in a tournament.


V. Boss Strategies

This section shows all bosses, difficulty, who you are or should be fighting as, 
a list of attacks, and a strategy on how to beat them.

1. Kuwabara

Difficulty:4

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Attacks: HtH

Strategy: Beat the two thugs with him (who are actually tougher than him), then 
land a series of blows, and Kuwabara will fall.

2. Spirit Beast

Difficulty:5 to 10 (depending upon health)

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Straegy: Just beat it with your HtH moves.

3. Sakamoto

Difficulty:0

Attacks:none

Recommended Character: Kuwabara

Strategy: He doesn't even fight, so hit him twice (yes, twice) and you kill him.

4. Goki (Human)

Difficulty:0

Attacks:none

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Knock his heath out.

5. Goki (Demon)

Difficulty:5

Attacks: Tree Trunk Swing

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Stay out of Goki's way, unless you can run in and nail all the combos you 
want before he attacks.

6. Hiei

Difficulty:6

Attacks: Evil Eye Bind
         Conjuring Blade Slice

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Stand on the upper left-hand corner and face the left box. When Hiei pops up 
there, Rei Gun his ass. About three Rei Gun's will do the trick. If you ignore me or do 
things wrong and get cacooned, tap the A button. If you hurry, you can nail Hiei with an 
HtH combo.

7. Baldok

Difficulty:4

Attacks: Fell Swoop

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Run out to the center of the map to get some room. as long as you're about level 
10, his attacks shouldn't be too powerful. face the way he swoops at you and when you see 
him Rei Gun his ass.

8. Kibano

Difficulty:4

Attacks: Explosive Superchraged Thrust (long name for a punch, huh?)
         HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: You won't be able to see out side of the little circle around you, so let Kibano 
throw the first punch, then, follow him, and use your HtH and Spirit Punch. health and Spirit 
is in the corners of the arena, as always.

9. Kaze-Maru

Difficulty:6

Attacks: Explosive Shuriken Throw

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Back up until Kaze-Maru starts throwing shurikens. dodge them, and move close enough 
that you can see the shurikens come back at you, and let them hit Kaze-Maru until he dies.

10. Shaolin

Difficulty:5

Attacks: Fireball
         Shotgun Fireball
         Slicing Gale Ageis
         HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: If you can move in time, Rei Gun and move closer, dodging attacks. When you get close 
enough, Spirit Punch and HtH. This next thing is a MUST. After you beat Shaolin, grab the exp, 
re-heal, and raise spirit power. You'll need it for what comes next... TRUST me.

11. Rando

Difficulty:7

Attacks: All that Shaolin has
         Rei Gun
         Two Way Shotgun
         HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Do the same as with Shaolin, only WATCH YOUR HEATH CLOSELY!

12. Genkai

Difficulty:8

Attacks: All that Yusuke has.

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Watch your health closely. This midget is quick. Do what you did to Rando, and re-heal 
as soon as you can.

13. Genbu

Difficulty:7

Attacks: Exploding Rock
         Extension Tail
         HtH

Recommended Character: Kurama

Strategy: If you're Level 15, this may be easier, but, otherwise, Get close and HtH until your 
health drops to about 4 bars. then reheal and start again.

14. Byakko

Difficulty:3

Attacks: Fur Needles

Recommended Character:Kuwabara

Strategy: The only reason this isn't a 0 difficulty is because you may get trapped on a stone 
pedestal. when you jump to the pedestal Byakko is on, you do damage. About 3 passes will stop 
him.

15. Seiryu

Difficulty:5

Attacks: Ghostly Ice Fist
         Ice Daggers
         HtH

Recommended Character:Hiei

Strategy: Using the Teleslash technique is really helpful here. HtH is the only other actual 
damage causing move, so use the Teleslash wisely, as there are no spirit potions around.

16. Suzaku

Difficulty:6
           (second time) 7

Attacks: Fireball
         Dark Lightning Shockwave
         HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: First, just mangle him with Spirit Punch and HtH. After he uses the Demonic Array 
of Darkness, Use Shotgun to destroy the fakes. In my game, the real Suzaku is the second from 
the left. But be sure to destroy the fakes first, because they CAN hurt you and the real 
Suzaku may differ from game to game.

17. Spider

Difficulty:4

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: For the easiest win, get your distance, and let the Rei Guns rip.

18. Demon 1

Difficulty:5

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Do the same as with the spider.

19. Demon 2

Difficulty:5

Attacks: HtH

Recommended Character:Hiei

Strategy: Demon 2 has a long reach with his sickle, so teleport if you must get within range. 
HtH and if you have it, use the 18 Slash Jagan.

20. Demon 3

Difficulty:5

Attacks: Spirit Steal
         HtH

Recommended Character:Kuwabara

Strategy: In this fight, Strength is the key, so Use Kuwabara's HtH. Besides, Kuwabara dosen't 
have much spirit to steal.

21. Helen (Enhanced Demon)

Difficuly:5

Attacks: Back Spines
         HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: dodge spines, And spirit punch.

22. Myaki

Difficulty:6

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Spirit Punch and Rei Gun, while watching your health.

23. Goshinburu

Difficulty:6

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Yusuke

Strategy: Shotgun so you can hit him while he's invisible

24. Gokumonki

Difficulty:5

Attacks:HtH

Recommended Character:Hiei

Strategy: HtH and 18 Slash Jagan away while watching your health.

25. Toguro (Yusuke)

Difficulty:9

Attacks: Kick
         Punch
         Sword Smash

Recommended Character: ..... DUH!

Strategy: This may be one of the toughest bosses in the game. Using the shotgun on Toguro so he
can't dodge your attack is what I did. Even so, I almost died. When Toguro starts his sword 
smash, rarely anything but running will stop it. I cannot stress enough how important it is that 
you use the Shotgun, NOT the Rei Gun. The Rei Gun saves more spirit, but after so long, in the 
long run, you waste more energy and deal out less damage.

26. Toguro (Kuwabara)

Difficulty: 10

Attacks: See above.

Recommended Character: I better not have to tell you who use for this fight...

Strategy: I used Kuwabara's ultimate spirit move on Toguro. Remember, running around for a 
while or finding a spirit potion replenishes your spirit power. During Kuwabara's special move, 
he is temporarily made invincible, so no need to worry about that.

27. Tarukane

Difficulty:0

Attacks:None

Recommended Character: None

Strategy: Just hit him once or twice.

6. Extras

Tournament- If you beat the game, you can unlock the Tournament in extras, playing as Genkai.

Mini games - Beat Tournament mode, and you'll unlock a special mode that lets you go to Genkai's
arcade and play the games. I haven't found a character that is beter at a certain game than the 
others yet, though a friend of mine says that he does better at the karoke with Kurama then 
anyone else, Kuwabara is best at the Jagon, and that Yusuke is best with the Bagon.

This concludes my walkthrough. Once again, if you have any questions, email me at
