To get to the SSS License Exam, you obviously need to have an SSLicense, but you
must also have a TOTAL of AT LEAST 200 CHIPS. If you want chip locations, I´d
suggest you look elsewhere. Now, your main goal is to locate and defeat the NAVI
MASTER! Talk to the license examiner and he´ll give you a clue, then leave
everything up to you. Here are the steps to take...
-Read the back of the sign outside of the cafe in Marine Harbor
-Take the train to Okuden and go past the campgrounds to the dam. Keep going to
the left and you´ll see a man behind a set of four trees on the western side of
the dam. Talk to him.
-Take the train to the airport and go and see the planes, not Netopia. Go to the
cockpit and examine the flashing control panel that is right next to the
entrance to the cockpit.
-Exit from the planes and go to Netopia. Enter the castle and head towards the
top of the castle itself. When you reach the top, where you battled the Princess
of Creamland, turn left and talk to the official that is looking outside the
window.
-Exit the castle and head to the alleys in Netopia. Examine the garbage
container to the left of the one with the teddy bear.
-Head back to ACDC town and jack in at Mayl´s house. Go to YumSquare and head
towards the place where you got change.bat. You´ll notice a navi there. Talk to
him.
-Go downstairs since you´re still in Mayl´s house and jack into her piano. Talk
to the navi towards the top of it.
-Talk to your dad!
Now you´ll find out he´s the Navi Master, and you´ll need to battle him...
Recommended P.A.s: LifeSword3, Gater
Battle 1: Gutsman V2
He punches and sends shockwaves ( like Mettaurs) at you. He´s very easy to avoid
and doesn´t have much HP. A LifeSword or Gater will bring him down easily. Watch
out if he uses AreaGrab or cracks the panels in your area. If you stand in the
front column, he will come right in front of you and punch you.
Battle 2: Toadman V2
Pull out your electric attacks! Toadman uses only a few attacks, which are easy
to avoid ( luckily). The first attack isn´t really executed by Toadman itself.
It´s just tadpoles that are shot out from the lilypads. The second attack is a
musical note which homes in on you. Let it get to the panel right in front of
you and get out of its way to avoid it. Any earlier and it´ll hit you. Its third
attack is to come up in front of you and punch you, but that´s easy to avoid
also. If you hit Toadman with a few electric attacks, you´ll be done in no time.
Battle 3: Gateman V2
Gateman doesn´t have much HP, so my advice is to use the buster to ward off his
little soldiers and avoid his attacks then use Gater ( Wind, Fan, Gateman1, 2, or
3) to OHKO him. If not, he´ll use his RemoGate when he gets down to 400HP, which
can really do a load on you.
Battle 4: Thunderman V2
Thunderman can be very frustrating if you aren´t sure how to attack it.
Thunderman attacks by having his clouds shoot balls of electricity at you! He
can also hit the panel you are standing on with lightning, 4 times in a row.
Also, if you touch the clouds too long, they´ll fry you with lightning spikes.
At the start, stay low to let the clouds spread out. Then, wait until you get a
good P.A. and use it.
Battle 5: Snakeman V2
A very easy opponent, if you know how to maneuver around. Wait in the middle row,
forcing Snakeman to seek shelter and only move to another row to avoid the
snakes that are shot at you. Wait until you get a good P.A. and move to either
the top or bottom row and use it when Snakeman appears to do major damage.
Battle 6: Heatman V2
Hopefully, you have a Heat style, because Heatman can turn panels into lava
panels, while stomping on you to do damage. Heatman also sends a big streak of
fire at you, or seeks shelter in his box and has 4 flames shoot up randomly in
your area. Wait until you get a good P.A. and let him move in on your area then
hit him.
Battle 7: Protoman V2
The final battle is easy if you can dodge. First off, stay in the middle to
start. When Protoman sends a cutting arc across the columns at you, move up or
down to avoid it, then let him charge in on you and let him use his sword to
slash 3 panels forward. Meaning, get out of that row! Then, after the slash, hit
him! Occasionally, he´ll come up to you and use an attack like a Widesword, or,
in other words, doing a vertical slash that is 3 panels long. If you get a good
P.A., use it and you´re done.
Good, now go back to the license examiner and get ready for the next part...
o---------------o
Survival Battle
o---------------o
Now for the hard part... 30 endurance battles in a row! But, I have some chips I
HIGHLY recommend... they are:
Wind, Fan, Gateman ( 1, 2, or 3)- for the Gater P.A.
FireBlade, AquaBlade, ElecBlade- for the LifeSword3 P.A.
AntiElec, AntiFire, AntiWater- to do 200 damage to unsuspecting enemies
Guardian- Does 200 damage to all enemies when hit by an enemy, but 200 to you if
you hit it
Recovery Chips- YES, YOU CAN RECOVER!!!!!
Now... on to the battles!!!
Battle 1: Mettaur2, Mettaur2, Mettaur3
Strategy: This battle is very simple. Swords and MegaCannons should be more than
enough to take the Mettaur2s out. Bide your time and finish off the Mettaur3
alone. Simple? Well then, let´s move on...
Battle 2: Swordy3, Mashy, KillWeed
Strategy: Since the Swordy3 can use AreaGrab, go after it first. careful because
it has a vertical and horizontal cut. The Mashy should be your next priority.
Keep in mind that you should watch out for the KillWeed´s wooden spires while
you go after the Mashy. If you have fire chips, it would be best to use them on
it. The KillWeed is self-explanitory. Just go to a corner, let it fire at you,
then go up to it and fire away. : )
Battle 3: Fishy3, DeathFire
Strategy: Annoying lava panels are all over, so you might want to watch your
step if you don´t have a Heat style. : ) The DeathFire likes to take cover
behind the stone block, so use attacks that can hit the back row. For the Fishy3,
do NOT waste time firing at it while it´s coming towards you, or you´ll get hurt,
badly, even if you have a barrier. Take this opportunity to heal any damage
you´ve taken, or just to rest a bit.
Battle 4: BlueDemon, Canodumb3, Canodumb3
Strategy: Take out your swords and cut that BlueDemon down to size. If you can
take out the Canodumb3s on the top and bottom rows and dodge the BlueDemon at
the same time, the better! Just make this batlte quick and you´ll be okay. : )
One little tip for attacking them all at once would be to use a LifeSword3/Area
Grab combo!!! 600 Damage will wipe them ALL OUT, which is VERY convenient. ; )
Now... moving on...
Battle 5: CanDevil2, Fishy2
Strategy: It´s a very fiery battlefield, and since you´ve probably seen what a
Fishy2 can do ( light whole rows on fire) and also what the CanDevil2 can do
( shoot fire across a whole row), then you know you better be very careful! If
you have a hard hitting P.A. like Gater, and are fortunate enough NOT to draw 3
Fans and 2 Winds on your first turn like me, then you should have no problem. If
you are going to do it the hard way, then use charged attacks and take out the
Fishy2 first, because its attack lasts, then try to knock out the CanDevil2´s
candle, before defeating the CanDevil2 itself.
Battle 6: BlueUFO, HardHead2, Cloudy2
Strategy: This can be very annoying with the BlueUFO flying voer and hitting you,
and the HardHead2 balsting away your panels... not to mention the ICE terrain.
I´d suggest to take care of the BlueUFO first, because it can hit you wherever
you are. Then, go after the HardHead2 OR Cloudy2, whichever you prefer. I´d go
after the Cloudy2, because it can attack columns, unless single panels. Oh, and
be cautious about the empty panel in the middle. If you can get a quick kill on
the BlueUFO and make your way to the top left, you´ll be in GOOD shape. When the
Cloudy2´s cloud & HardHead2´s wrecking ball comes over to you, move right and
hit the HardHead2, then move left to get the Cloudy2 to hit the ccenter column.
Move right and hit the HardHead2 to finish it off! Move downward or wherever and
finish the battle.
Battle 7: Magmacker, Magmacker, Beetank2
Strategy: Geez the programmers are TRYING to make this tough. But in reality,
it´s simple. First of all, take out the Beetank2, because it´s CrossBomb can put
quite a few dents in you if you aren´t careful. Keep in mind that Magmackers can
shoot paralyzing ( in a way) bombs that have a range of 3 vertical panels and
that they can also charge at you. My recommendation here is to practice on L
shape maneuvers... in other words, move one vertical, one horizontal, or the
other way around. : ) Another way around, that I have also used was to run to the
corners and move from corner to corner. It can also be very effective, but it
makes you especially vulnerable to Magmackers´ charging attacks if you aren´t
careful.
Battle 8: MegaBunny, Mettaur3, Flappy3
Strategy: Man... this can be confusing to keep track of because the enemies have
so many different attacking patterns. Get rid of the MegaBunny and Mettaur3
first, since they are EASY. Stick to the corners because of the Flappy3´s
ability to crush panels in a cross pattern. If you can, get the Flappy3 to hit
the same panel TWICE in a row, so it doesn´t take more panels away from you. If
you have an AreaGrab, use it to mow these enemies down. One move I used was a
FastGauge followed by AntiElec, which can take out the Mettaur3, MegaBunny, and
nearly kill the Flappy3! Talk about giving them what they deserve! : )
Battle 9: Sparknoid
Strategy: At first glance, you´ll notice the only place you have to run where
you can avoid the Sparknoid is into poisonous territory, which is NOT good. I
got around this battle with my AntiElec chip, which KOd it instantly, but for
regular battle, I´d suggest that you are fast and actually cross the dangerous
territory. It doesn´t hurt you too much unless you stay in it too much. If you
have a LifeSword or Gater, all the better, because you can hit it a lot easier
than a regular buster shot can.
Battle 10: Fishy2, Fishy2, WindBox
Strategy: The center row is... poisonous! Juuuussstttt great. Hit those Fishy2s
and cross two rows down quickly, then hit them again... then go up again... then
hit them again... then go down again... until they´re gone. Sure you´ll take
some damage... but it´s a lot better than being fishbait!!! Finally, just hammer
away at the WindBox until it´s defeated. If you want, take this time to let your
CustomGauage fill up and recover yourself.
Battle 11: Handy3, Handy3, HardHead
Strategy: Even more poisonous terrain... these programmers never quit, do they?
Then again, this is the SSSLicense test. ; ) As always, be brave, and charge
straight at the Handy3s, getting rid of their time bombs and then dealing damage
to them! A little tip... HardHeads destroy panels, right? When you see it about
to fire, go to a poison panel, and when it fires, move away! When the panel is
restored, it woun´t be poisoned! Clever, eh?
Battle 12: Beetank3
Strategy: Notice the empty panels? Don´t even bother treading there. Stay in the
back corner, and when it fires, move to the other corner. Just keep firing and
hopefully you´ll break the stone block in the middle, giving you more
opportunities to attack. If you have attacks that can hit the last column, by
all means, USE IT! Another really clever approach is to use a Fan at the start
( if possible) to get the Beetank3 stuck right below the stone block! Now that it
is trapped, fire away! Heh, heh. >:D
Battle 13: Swordy2, Swordy2, DeathFire
Strategy: This is all grass terrain, so be especially careful if you are
vulnerable to fire... well, hopefully you aren´t. ; ) Get those Swordy2s!!!
They´ll use AreaGrab and horizontal and vertical slashes to hit you virtually
wherever you are. Then all you need to do is get the DeathFire that likes to
hide in the back column ( I wonder why.. lol) and you´re done. VERY simple.
Battle 14: Ratty2, Ratty2, Poofy
Strategy: Another easy one... if you have strong chips, which you probably
have... right? The main thing is to hit those Ratty2s and take them out IN ONE
HIT... or else they´ll be very fast and hard to hit, which would lead to a lot
of unwanted damage taking, am I right? Then, fire awayy at the Poofy, going
under the little balls it shoots out when necessary.
Battle 15: RedUFO, BlueUFO, GreenUFO
Strategy: Finally, a fun battle. All the colors! Focus on the weakest and take
it out quickly, adn keep on doing that and you´ll be done! Simple! If you are
one of those people who just charge straight into a battle, now´s your chance!
Beware their paralyzing rings though... or you´ll be greeted by a blizzard of
very slow attacks, lol. ; )
CONGRATULATIONS... YOU ARE NOW A TOP-NOTCH CITY NETBATTLER!!!
En gros bonne chance!
