Hints
Getting Cactuar
Unlock the Star Cup by winning the Mushroom Cup and
the Flower Cup. INSTEAD of getting 100 coins and doing a special
move six times, go to Jr. Street(the second course). Get 100 coins.
Get a blue coin and do a special move. If you are lucky, you will
get three Mario heads and get 420 points. At this time you will
probably be almost through the first half. Waste or use the rest
of the time, but do not try to collect coins as they will not
make it to the second half. When it is the second half, repeat
the strategy. You will have at least 840 points. Quit or continue.
The message "You unlocked Glare Desert" will appear.
Go there and play a little while. You should see a small green
lump with spikes. Repeatedly chase and dribble on it. You should
hear unusual noises if you listen closely. If you do this enough,
Cactuar will pop out with an attack and run off the map. Now,
simply win and quit. If you select once more, when you do quit,
the message "You unlocked Cactuar" will appear. His
icon is a living cactus with arms, legs, eyes, mouth, and hair.
He is a speed type. His special is called "1000 Needles".
Trace a backwards "Z", starting from the top right,
going to the top left, bottom right, and bottom left. Do that
twice.
Slam dunk on Petey Pirahna
Run around a while, staying near Petey and he will
fall asleep. There will be a bubble on his head, and he will snore
with his head tilted. Quickly do a slam dunk or special at this
time before he wakes up.
Glitches
Six Cactaurs
Win the Rainbow Cup and watch the credits closely.
At one point, there well be six Cactuars on the beach with a melon
ball. There are only supposed to be one or no Cactaur on the field.
