Nintendo Tips and Tops, Season 1

Sonic Heroes for Nintendo Gamecube

Description: Upside-down super-speedy triple-play action! Sonic Heroes allows you to blast through levels with Sonic leading the pack! Want someone else? Just push a button and you've switched to either Knuckles or Tails. On the off-chance you get tired of all three, three additional teams allow to play as Shadow, E-128 Gamma, Rouge, Amy, Big, Cream, Espio, Charmy, and Vector!

Free Hint: Dash as much as you possibly can during the Emerald Challenges, and only stop dashing to collect red starred Power Spheres, to get a little extra control, or if you can't because your dash bar is empty.

Cookie Hint: Save your Team Blast energy by powering up your Power character to level 3, then by repeatedly pressing the attack button. Often, you'll get the same effect [as you'd get from a Team Blast].

Pac-Man Collection for Game Boy Advance

Description: They sure PACked a lot of fun into this cartridge! There are four Pac-Man games in this, including Pac-Man Arrangement, which was previously only in arcades! That one's my favorite. There's also Pac-Mania, Pac-Attack, and, of course, classic Pac-Man.

Free Hint: In Pac-Man Arrangement, you'll munch a lot more ghosts by eating a power pellet after a red power-up.

Cookie Hint: In classic Pac-Man and Pac-Man Arrangement, look for trouble spots where there is a long path with only two entrances. Clear those while the ghosts are busy somewhere else, otherwise, you'll be cornered easily.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for Nintendo Gamecube

Description: They were very creative with this one! You can now create teams of 2 characters to control each kart, and there's even a way to have 2 human characters work together to race their kart to victory! There are lots of unlockable secrets in this one: secret karts, secret tracks, even secret characters. You won't get bored for quite some time.

Free Hint: When choosing your characters, pick one character with a special item that helps you take the lead, and another character with a special item that helps you keep the lead. Example: Mario (Fireball) and Peach (Heart).

Cookie Hint: Become a master of the drift turn. This skill will help you win in the harder parts of the game, but only if you use it properly.
