JET SET RADIO FUTURE
===============================================================================
 ~(FAQ/WALTHROUGH)~~(VERSION 0.3)~~(By:Meyerboy14)~~(Meyerboy14@hotmail.com)~
===============================================================================

 NOTE: This is my very first FAQ so I hope you like it.  Remember I'm doing the
best I can and that's all I can do.


INFORMATION ABOUT THIS FAQ
===============================================================================
 This walkthrough is for the amazing roller skating, graffiti spraying, cell
shading, yo-yo saving game, Jet Set Radio Future for the Microsoft Xbox.  Sure
the story may jump around in logic and half the time the bosses are people that
have absolutely nothing to do with the game, but lets face it you aren't
playing this game for the story anyhow.  This FAQ is intended to help those who
are lost in the vast worlds of Jet Set Radio Future.  So if you just need to
know what to do next in the Sky Scraper District, or if you don't know how to
beat Rapid 99 in a game of capture the flag, or if you need to know what in the
world a street challenge means, well... I can't really help you out there, but
for all the other ones you have come to the right place.
===============================================================================



GAME INFORMATION
===============================================================================
 As explained above Jet Set Radio Future is an amazing game.  It has some
amazing songs that you will sometimes play the game just to listen to.  It has
amazing cell shaded graphics that are the best of any cell shading game.  It
has some amazing level design.  And to top it all off it has an amazing control
scheme that will not take long to get used to. Everything about this game is
just flat out amazing.  If you do not already own this game I would highly
recommend it or at the very least, renting it (but if you happen not to like it
don't blame me for it).

STORY

 The main story here really jumps around and you may have a tuff time trying to
put it together.  Put the meat and potatoes of it, is that a corrupt old guy
named Rokakku Goji has pretty much taken away the freedom of everyone in the
future Tokyo.  So it is up to you and your gang, the GG's, to stop the corrupt
Rokkaku and get back Tokyo's freedom.  How spraying graffiti on the walls on
towns and spraying the backs of police men with spray cans can get back Tokyo's
freedom is beyond me, but you are not playing this game for the story, I
repeat: YOU ARE NOT PLAYING THIS GAME FOR THE STORY.

 This game has an ESRB rating of T for Teen.-Strong Lyrics and Violence

HISTORY AND UPDATES AKA: STUFF YOU WON'T READ
2.=============================================================================
 {March 29, 2002} Started the structural layout for the FAQ and added the table
of contents and copyright information.  Started some of the walkthrough for
Dogenzaga Hill and Shibuya Terminal. Also added game basics.

 {March 29, 2002} Did an update on the first day because I found a lot of
things that were really hard to understand.  Also I changed some of the layout
for it because most of the level FAQ's were just one paragraph.

 {March 30, 2002} Did the walkthrough for Chuo Street and Rokkaku Dai Heights

 {April 5, 2002}  I've finally come back from my well deserved spring break and
am now ready to update again.  The only real change is the fact that I took out
the tabs because this could ruin my chance to get it on the site.
===============================================================================



GAME BASICS
3.=============================================================================
 If you have just bought the game and you do not know what to do and even how
to start a new profile this is the section of the FAQ that you need

CREATING A NEW PROFILE

 As with all things in Jet Set Radio Future, Smilebit has come up with a way to
make your life even easier.  And this time it has to do with creating a new
profile.  To create one just wait for the start up screen to show up and one it
is up hit start.  After doing this select New Game.  It sill ask you to pick a
profile, if you have not created one yet select Profile 1 after doing this the
game will start up, it's that easy.

CONTROLS

 If you have ever played the first roller skating, graffiti game made by
Smilebit, Jet Grind Radio on the Dreamcast, (if you have not played it you
really should it's an amazing game, and if you don't have a Dreamcast they are
only 50 bucks now) then you know how easy the controls were.  Well some how
Smilebit has miraculously come up with a control scheme that is even easier
than the last one. Here is a simple lay out.

Button A--Jump. Select during menus.

Button B--Turbo Boost at cost of 10 spray cans

Button y--Character does a 180 degree turn while on ground and doing tricks

Button X--Changes trick you do while on a rail or in the air

Right Trigger--Spray graffiti (must have spray cans)

Left Trigger--Centers camera behind character.

Right Control Stick--Lets you look around from characters perspective.

Left Control Stick--Push forward to move character. Speed changes depending on
how far you push it.  Can also do the "shuffle" when "clicked" in.

D-pad--Used to navigate some menus.

See how simple it is.

STRATEGYS

 The game play here is pretty strait forward. Just listen to what people like
Professor K say and should practically know what to do.

 If you have a character who is not very good at spraying graffiti then when
you come up to a place that needs graffiti to be sprayed just slow your
character down by doing the "shuffle" or if their on the rail pull back on the
control stick so they can slow down and get the graffiti done in one pass.

 Look for secret tapes, they tell you how to do street challenges to get
graffiti souls so you can have different graffiti designs. To look at the tapes
(after you get em') press start and select GG's Notebook to look at what you
have to do.

 The camera can sometimes be a little crazy.  If it is not behind you remember
to always pull the left trigger.

 When you do tricks try not to go to fast or to slow or else you will just get
a "dong" sound and will not be able to do anymore tricks for a few seconds.
===============================================================================



WALKTHROUGH
4.=============================================================================
First and foremost create a new game. If you need to know how go to Game Basics
===============================================================================
-The Garage

 When you start the game the Leader of the GG's, Corn, will begin talking to
you.  It seems that you would like to join there little gang.  After Corn talks
to you he will tell you to find Gum, (no not the sticky chewy candy, the girl.)
To find her go forward and a little to the left and she should be on a platform
close to a pinball machine and a punching bag with the face of Rokkaku Goji on
it, more on him a little later.  Speak to her by pulling the right trigger.
She will tell you to do some pretty basic things like jumping.  To figure out
how to do these go to the Game Basics section.

 After doing all these you may want to play around in The Garage and figure out
how to do all the important stuff like grinding.  You can also talk to the
robot named Roboy and at his menu select practice and he will teach you some
basic things like how to wallride and spray graffiti. To go to the next level,
Dogenzaga Hill, press start and look at the map of The Garage.  It should show
you where Dogenzaga Hill is.  Just go towards that way until you see an arrow
that says Dogenzaga Hill.
===============================================================================

-Dogenzaga Hill

 Welcome to the very first level of the game. This is probably the most strait
forward level in the game.  First you may want to take a lap around the level
to get acquainted with it so you know where everything is. After doing that
collect some spray cans, if you haven't already, and look for some graffiti
spots to leave your mark on.  They aren't to incredibly hard to find, most of
them are on the ground.  After doing this there should be a boy that appears
right before you go inside the building that is before the half-pipe.  Speak to
him (incase you didn't know the guys name is Beat) and he will go up the rail
into the building.  Follow him up the rail and talk to him again he will run
away again and you just have to follow him.  Keep doing this and eventually he
will run away.

 After he runs away for good, look at the map, he is the little blue dot.  Go
towards the dot and you will find him again.  Speak to him and he will
challenge you to a game of City Rush, which is basically a race around the
level.  He really isn't that hard to beat. (Hint: when you get to a part of the
level that has a rail and a big drop off, jump down into the drop off to get a
big lead, also use the turbo boost when necessary). If you beat him he will
join your gang and will run off to The Garage. After he does that, the Rokkaku
Police will show up.

 You don't have to fight them if you don't want to, if you don't just head to
The Garage.  To fight them run into them and when they are lying down pull the
right trigger and spray their back until their health meter depletes.  After
you have defeated them they will all run away.  Congrats you have just beaten
the first level.  Now on to Shibuya Terminal.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT DOGENZAGA HILL

 Secret tape: To get to the secret tape go close to the building where you
first found Beat DO NOT GO INSIDE THE BUILDING.  Now just before the rail you
use to get inside the building, there will be a little pit to your left (if you
are facing the building) covered by some little signs.  The tape is inside the
pit.

 To get Beat just follow what is said up at the top of this level FAQ.

 I think that building that you can go into is a Music Store.  On IGN it said
it was called "The Virgin Mega Store."
===============================================================================

-Shibuya Terminal

 Shibuya Terminal is the second level in your quest to stop the corruption of
the evil Rokakku Goji, and in my opinion it is probably the lamest level that's
in the game, other than the fact that there is some major grinding to be had
here.
 When you start off this level there will be a whole bunch of graffiti that is
not your own all over the walls of Shibuya Terminal.  And what would any roller
skaten' maniac do when people are covering up all of their property in
graffiti; well cover it up with your own of course.  It is just like spraying
graffiti in all the other levels except you cover it up.  If you are having a
hard time finding some of the Graffiti spots try looking on the side of the
parked buses and you may find one that you missed like I did. Also, remember to
look at the map to see where they may be hiding.

 After all that is taken care of your rival gang, Poison Jam, will show up.
This part is just like what you did with Beat, just follow them around and talk
to them.  You will do this 3 times before they run away into the next level
Chuo Street. Combo will show up after that is done.  Talk to him and he will
challenge you to a game of follow the leader. Just ride the rail that he does
without falling and he will join you.  After he joins you the Rokkaku police
will show up again along with Hiayashi.  Beat the Rokkaku police like you did
before.  To beat Hiayashi turbo boost into him and spray his back.  He has more
stamina than the police though.  Now onto Chuo street

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT SHIBUYA TERMINAL

 Secret Tape: The Secret Tape is located on the platform above the Graffiti
Stop.  To get to it ride the stair case rail that is facing the rail on the
platform and when you get to a little slope in the rail jump.  Then land on the
outside rail of the one on the platform

 You can not access the very, very high platform of this level AT ALL. So don't
waste your time trying.  I did =(

 To get Combo just play his game of follow the leader and win. (Hint: when you
get towards the end of it, after you jump off the ramp, slow down or else you
will keep going onto another rail and will lose.)
===============================================================================

-Chuo Street

 After you have taken care of the police in Shibuya Terminal, the next level,
Chuo Street, will be unlocked.  This is probably the first great level of the
game that you will encounter.  99th Street and Rokkaku Dai Heights will both be
unlocked as well after you have completed everything in Shibuya Terminal, but
most of everything in those levels wont become unlocked until you beat Chuo
Street.

 Right when you show up in Chuo Street Hiyashi and his minions will show up to
greet you, and it seems like the brought along some tanks to greet you.  To
destroy the tanks, you have to spray each side of it until a man appears out of
the hatch on top.  Stay close to the tank and wait for the man to fire his gun.
He should wait a few seconds to fire again, and while he waits spray him with
graffiti.  That's some pretty powerful paint if it can destroy a whole tank.
Them Japanese seem to always get the better stuff. lol.

 After the tanks are taken care of you have to find Hiyashi.  Look at the map
and you should be able to see that his is on a building.  He is on the small
building that is next to the big one in the middle of the shopping square.  To
get to him grind up the rail that leads up to the building.  To defeat him,
turbo boost into him and run him off the building.

 After Hiyashi and the tanks are taken care of, its time to cover up Poison
Jams graffiti again.  Remember to look at your map to see where the spots are.
The only hard one to find is the one that is located near the secret short cut
that is to the left of the half-pipe before you go into the half-pipe.  After
that poison jam will show their ugly faces again and now they want to challenge
you to a game of city rush.  They aren't really that hard to beat.  Just
remember to grind and wallride in the long stretch, and also remember to take
that short cut close to the half-pipe.

 Poison Jam will once again run off, but this time they run off to the next
level, Rokkaku Dai Heights.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT CHUO STREET

 Secret Tape:  The secret tape is located under the funky looking statue in the
middle of the shopping square.

 No secret characters to unlock here yet.

 I honestly have no idea what in the world that statue is suppose to be.  Many
people believe that is it some kind of animal like a lizard since it has a
tale.
===============================================================================

-Rokkaku Dai Heights.

 And now you have stumbled upon one of the frustrating and confusing levels in
JSRF.  It will take a while before you know the locations of everything, but
for now I'd suggest looking around the level a bit so you know how to access
things.  If you beat Poison Jam in Chuo Street, they should appear hear. I you
did no beat them then you must go back to Chuo Street and beat them in city
rush.

 To start things off you should paint the Graffiti Stop at the entrance of the
level.  After that is taken care of go strait ahead and up the flight of
stares.  You should see a Poison Jam member.  Talk to him and he will go up a
pole and on to a building.  Follow him and talk to him again he will once again
run away.  Follow him once more and he will run off and bust open the door to
what I think is a "mine shaft" this "mine shaft" is your gateway to the rest of
the level.  Go into it and after you leave there should be three Rokkaku
Police.  Just run into them and spray there backs and you'll finish them off in
a few seconds.

 After they are taken care of go to the nearest telephone pole and grind up it
and let it take you to where it goes.  After you get off of it you should see
another Poison Jam member.  You know the drill by now, talk to him and follow
him.  It may take you a few try's to wallride and grind up to the next level
though.  Talk to him once more and he will run away for good.  DO NOT TRY TO
FOLLOW THEM THEY HAVE LEFT THE AREA.

 Now its time to spray the graffiti.  A lot of the graffiti here is done while
grinding so slow your player down so it can get it all in one pass.  Go up
telephone polls to find it all and remember to look at your map.  After you get
all of the graffiti on the lower level done, return to where you had to grind,
wallride, grind, wallride, grind, wallride, and get up to the upper level.
Spray the graffiti here.  Then all the way in the back you should see a
telephone wire, grind up it and do the wallride and grind thing.  You should be
at an upper level.

 Spray all the graffiti spots here and eventually you should run into what
looks like a questionable playground.  You should once again wallride and grind
up to the next level.  Spray some graffiti.  Go far enough and you should run
into quite a few police men.  They should also have some police that are in
black clothing.  To knock them over you have to turbo boost into them.  They
also have more stamina than the regular police men do.

 When they are taken care of Hayashi should appear.  You should know how to
take care of him by now.  Just watch his bullets and run into him and spray his
back a few times.  That graffiti can do a helluva lot of stuff.

 Next you will find another telephone poll that you will have again wallride
and grind.  Except this time Smilebit mixed it up and makes you JUMP on the
billboards! Oooo!  And this time there are only two of em'!  Double oooo.

 After you land on the platform, grind up the, what looks like a water tower,
and spray the graffiti spot on top.  You have now beat Rokkaku Dai Heights.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT ROKKAKU DAI HEIGHTS

 Secret Tape:  The secret tape is located on the right side of the "mine shaft"

 To get Ryth you have to grind up one of the telephone poles and jump on top of
the "mine shaft."  Talk to her and she will run off (a lot of characters seem
to like to do that).  Follow her (can we get a little more original Smilebit)
and talk to her again she will once again run away.  Talk to her one more time
and she will join you.

 Right when you grind up the second flight of stairs you should see a trailer.
Enter it and it will take you to the other side quicker and get you some health
and a lot of spray cans too.

 This really isn't a tip; I just think that it's kind of funny.  Right when you
enter this level from the garage, turn to your left.  You should see a guy
trapped on the other side of the fence and banging on it to try to get in.  How
the heck did he get there?  Poor guy.

That is it for now, but there is more on the way when I have time.
