@-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-@

When you first start up the game, you'll find a simple menu screen with the 
following options available. I will explain each one for you to know what
they do and where they lead you to. I will also list them in order. Not a big 
menu though.

  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                           -= Grudge Match =-                            |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   The first option in the menu, being the basic option of the game. In this
   option, you have the option to select your own team, select the stadium
   a sidekick, also pick your character and you'll begin play! This is a
   good exhibition to practice, play around and to especially practice on
   dificult mode. In other words, it's a 'Play Now' option.


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                             -= Cup Match =-                             |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   In this Cup option, you have four different cups to play and complete. 
   These cups are ranked by points on a Table Rank, it ranks you by points.
   The points givin; 3 for a win, 1 for a tied game with or without goals, 
   and 0 for losing a match. 

   The last cup, Bowser Cup, is only slightly different. The difference is
   the ranking procces. It ranks you with a 'Playoff Ranked'. You have to
   play a load of rounds, then the teams with the most rounds won head into
   the Elimination Round. The winner of that round gets to face Bowser's
   Super Team for the cup. Here is a chart of each cup with some info:

   * Name of Cup      Teams     Rounds     Ranking *
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   [ ] Mushroom Cup: 4 Teams; 3 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Flower Cup:   6 Teams; 5 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Star Cup:     8 Teams; 7 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Bowser Cup:   8 Teams; 7 Rounds; 2 KO Rounds; Playoff Ranked


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                         -= Super Cup Match =-                           |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   The Super Cup Matches are almost the same as a reagular cup match, but 
   the difficulty of it is much more harder. This option is not recommended
   for beginners or rookies. Also, everytime you win a cup, you will unlock
   a special cheat which can be accesed from the Otions menu selection. To
   find out what the Unlockable cheats are, look at the 'Unlockables' 
   section, code (0900). Here is another chart of each cup:

   * Name of Cup             Teams    Rounds        Ranking *
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------
   [ ] Super Mushroom Cup: 4 Teams; 06 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Super Flower Cup:   6 Teams; 10 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Super Star Cup:     8 Teams; 14 Rounds; Table Ranked
   [ ] Super Bowser Cup:   8 Teams; 14 Rounds; 2 KO Rounds; Playoff Ranked


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                           -= Custom Match =-                            |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   The word custom explains most of this option, if it doesn't here is what
   it means. You can now create or customize your own tournament and macthes.
   All you have to do is select the type tournament, next is to decide how
   many teams and how many times they each play each other. After that, you 
   must then select your character, following with the game setting. After
   all this, you are now read to start off your tournament!


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                            -= Strikers 101 =-                           |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   The purpose of this option is basically the point of a practice mode. You
   get to kick the ball around, get the feel for the controls, or even do
   some soccer drills to help your skill. this place is recommended for first
   time users. To get started you must choose first your character and the 
   the field/stadium, then your good to go.


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                              -= Spoils =-                               |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   This option is really like a Hall Of Fame section, just called different.
   This is the place where you can view all your trophies won, and a breif
   summary of your attempts on the tournaments, including dates, scores and
   a positions, and some extra things, too. 


  /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
  |                             -= Options =-                               |
  \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
   The last menu option is the options for your gameplay and settings. You
   have the ability to set or adjust the visual and audio settings in the
   game. You can use the default option if you want. Also, you can activate
   your cheats unlocked by winning Super Cup matches, this are real helpful
   so make sure you activate them!

These are some useful tactics and tips to help you win some games. I use some
a lot and they are very helpful and I hope you find them, too.

One-Touch Kicks
---------------
Press the A button to pass and then hit the B button just before the ball gets 
to the player the ball is being passed to, you'll make a quick kick and a 
chance for a goal.


Deke or Spin

Use the Control stick or the Y button to crossover a player. You can also 
crossover the goalie and shoot for the goal.


Turbo Run
---------
Press and hold the R button to sprint or turbo run to outrun a player to get to
the opponent's side of the field and get in front of the defenders. This  
improves your chances of making a goal.


Fake Shots
----------
Hold the B button then press the A button while still holding it to perform
nasty little fake shot. This works more effectively on human opponents.


Curve, Lob Shots
-----------------
Hold the L button and press the B button to take a shot over a goalie. Better
to take from a distance, because the goalie will be away from his net to cut
down the angle. To do curve shots you have to press left or right when charging
with B, when it shoots, the wall will curve depending on the position the 
stick was pressed. Even though like 10% of the time the ball might curve to the
opposite direction the stick is held. Curve shots never stun the goalie unless 
you are very near to him. Really useful tactic.


Super Strikes
-------------
Press and hold the B button when your captain has the ball. Now press the B 
button when the white bit enters the solid green. Another will appear, so do 
the same. If you get them perfectly, you will perform a Monster strike. 
Impossible to miss, for even if the goalie saves it, he will get blown into 
the net! You get two points for a successful super strike goal. One of the best
offesive tactics!


Slide Tackles
-------------
Press the B button to perform a sliding tackle. If you hit from behind you will
be out of commission as well. Your safe bet is a slide tackle from the front.
A great defending tactic.


Clear the ball
--------------
Press the B button when the ball is in your zone to clear, use when there is 
heavy pressure on in your zone. Better the ball out than a goal, huh?
