So the Car List is completely finished. This is just a minor update. I will still have to finish the Time Trial, License, and Co- Driver modes. And of course, I still need your fast times! Version 1.7 (4-13-02) - I added another car to the Car List so that leaves me with only one missing car. I finished the Single Race Mode and Option Mode. The next update will probably be my last, but of course this FAQ/Strategy Guide is NEVER finished because people can still send me their fast times (hint, hint), ask me questions, and also any corrections. Version 1.5 (4-12-02) - I finished the World Rally Mode and rearranged the Car List so that the cars are in order of when you win them and I added some cars. I finished the Practice and Link Modes and I put in most of my times for the Fast Times. Please send in your fast times. I can't start the FAQ until you frequently ask me questions, so ask me some questions! :) This FAQ/Strategy Guide has grown quite quickly and looks like it will be done very shortly. Hey, L@@K! It's Homer: ~(_8-(|). Version 1.0 (4-11-02) - Initial version of this FAQ. The Introduction and Game Basics are done. The Car List is mostly done except for a few cars and half of the World Rally mode is done. Barely started the Fast Times. The next update will finish mostly everything. ------------------- -= 2) Introduction =- ------------------- -= About this Guide =- This guide was written entirely by me, H2K03 (Henry Kim), and is intended (hopefully) to help you with this game. This FAQ/Strategy Guide is my first so please bear that in mind when reading. I decided to write this FAQ/Strategy Guide because I love Advance Rally and I want to help anyone who wants complete and comprehensive information about the game. If you would like to contribute something to this guide, please feel free to e-mail me (henrys_emu@yahoo.com) with "Advance Rally FAQ" in the subject line. -= About the Game =- Advance Rally, in my opinion, is the best racing game in the realistic racing genre for the Gameboy Advance. Of course, if you like Go-Kart racing you should jump right into Mario Kart but if you like realistic racing, Advance Rally is the game for you! ------------------ -= 3) Game Basics =- ------------------ -= Controls =- The game controls should be pretty standard. Directional pad - Move around in the menu. Move left and right during a race. A Button - Confirm in the menu. Accelerate during a race. B Button - Cancel in the menu. Brake during a race. L Button - Serves no purpose in the menu. Shift down during a race only if you're using Manual (which I don't recommend) R Button - Serves no purpose in the menu. Shift up during a race. Start Button - Serves no purpose in the menu except to go through the title screen. Pause during a race. Select Button - Serves no purpose at all. --------------- -= 4) Car List =- --------------- -= a) Suzuki =- 1.

This is the mode you will be playing for most of your gaming experience with Advance Rally. The object of this mode is to complete each of the 3 legs as fast as possible. In Leg 1, you must be in at least 9th place at the end of the leg to proceed to the next leg. In Leg 2, you must be in at least 6th to proceed and in Leg 3, you must be in at least 3rd place to get a trophy. 1st place will get you a gold trophy, 2nd place will get you a silver trophy and 3rd place will get you a bronze one. 1st place will usually get you a new car. There are 14 rounds in all, each having 3 legs, that take you around the world to race! After you get Gold in all the races in Normal Mode, it will unlock Expert Mode. 1.

Record Here you can view the records for the races. It only includes times from the Time Trial and not times from racing in World Rally.

Delete Here you can delete the save and start over from scratch. -= h) Link =- I can't try this because I don't know anyone who has a copy of this game. I believe you need another copy to play against someone so I can't test this option out. I'm pretty sure you can race against other people. I'm not sure if you can play with up to 4 players or not. ----------------- -= 6) Fast Times =- ----------------- Please send them in! (henrys_emu@yahoo.com) Subject line: "Advance Rally FAQ".
