active (has been knocked out in a previous battle) it cannot be part of your team.
Hint: You can put together THREE different teams of five (5) characters beforehand by selecting “team” from the main menu. Then just choose your
BATTLING SCANNED CHARACTERS
If you scan an Aggressive Character or a Grudge Match Character, an “alarm” will sound and you will fight the intruding charac- ters.
Hint: Before the battle begins, you will be given the choice to either fight or run away. If you only have a few characters or most of them are weak, you may want to run away so you can fight again another day!
Items
If you get to choose an item, your first item in inventory comes up on the screen. Scroll through your inventory until you find the item you want. The items listed will automatically be compatible with the type of character you are using.
Hint: Sometimes you get an unlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY careful before you let your character drink it. Sometimes it’s good, but sometimes it’s poison!
If you win, you get to claim the scanned char- acter and add him to your unit! You can also choose to banish him.
BATTLING A FRIEND’S COLLECTION OF CHARACTERS
From the main menu, both you and your friend choose the “V.S.” feature and place your con- trollers against each other, connecting the tabs and slots at the top of them, making sure they snap together.
This is just like battling characters from ran- dom UPC codes. However, if your opponent’s team loses, you get the stronger one of his characters.
Hint: If you break away from a friend’s con- troller during a battle, you have 10 seconds to restore the connection before you lose the game. And if you break away after a battle, the winner will automatically get the strongest character on the losing team.
HEALING YOUR CHARACTERS
After many battles, even the best get charac- ters knocked out once in a while. Keep the Radica UPC (bar code) from your
If your character is knocked out, it is not active and the “KO” symbol will flash at the bottom of your screen. Choose “heal” from the main menu. The knocked out characters appear on the screen automatically. Press the ON / A Button and scan any Radica UPC.
Hint: You might want to keep a log of what codes generate each character and item. You may need to find them again if you reset your controller.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You have 20 seconds to change batteries without losing your stored data. Your SKANNERZ controller must be in sleep mode when changing batteries or you will lose all of your stored monsters and items.
