okay, i'm checking some chinese sites, but they're all down for some reason..... all the chinese guys are racing to post, trying to beat each other with new discoveries,,,
edit:
okay, i'm finally at 0-3
first, you need to have 0-4. from 0-4, go to 6-3 to meet don dracula if you haven't already. if you have, then go to 2-5 to get magma. he's hard to find, i found him on the fifth time, after con tinously using my R super blasting to the right. then go back to 0-4. after that go to 5-2 to meet kenichi again. he will direct you to 0-3.
after this you go directly to stage 8.
warning, do not do this until you're sure you have all of the other stages and characters.
anyway, now i have all characters except for 39 who is in gray,
i played it on easy twice to be able to select my own stages, then after that you just have to find the hidden people, go along with the story (which is very hard is you don't know japanese i think, i know i couldn't have done it with searching for info from the bbses). i'm still pondering how to get 39 which may be that i have to play it on hard.....but i'm not sure.
anyway the storyline is great, considering they got almost all of the famous tezuka characters in there, and the ending is great. really, tezuka is a greay story-teller.
i have a list of how to get each character (except for 39) from another chinese bbs, so if anyone is stuck, just post. i'm missing a few scenes though, and i'm trying to figure out how to get those.
