This is a playthrough using Amakusa in the Arcade version of Samurai Shodown 1. Read on below for more information...
Amakusa is the end boss of the game. He is a non-selectable character in both the NeoGeo Arcade MVS and AES versions of it.
===== ABOUT AMAKUSA =====
He is one of the more recognizable SNK fighting game characters, and the most well-known boss of the Samurai Shodown series. An eastern sorcerer type design, he has quite a unique fighting style (for it's time) whereby his weapon is a levitating gem in which he controls and directs. Storyline-wise, he is one of the agents of the deity, Ambrosia. His full name is Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, based on real-life historical figure Amakusa Shiro.
===== TECHNICAL INFORMATION =====
---- He can appear on the character select screen as long as he isn't pre-highlighted when entering the screen.
---- He operates perfectly on the Continue screen.
---- In the events where on returning to the character select screen after he has already been selected, his sprites are slightly glitched in a way where a glitched Kyoshiro's weapon is in front of him.
---- When playing as him, In gameplay, if he loses a round the game will go into the "Amakusa/Ambrosia awakening" cutscene/screen before resuming as normal for the next round. The interesting thing here is that the the other character in the cutscene is Amakusa!
---- In gameplay, if he loses/drops his weapon, his weapon icon (when it's on the ground) is Charlotte's 2P weapon icon. If he is on the 2P side, it is Charlotter's COM weapon icon instead. The strange thing is that for the CPU-controlled Amakusa you fight against at the end of the game, if he loses/drops his weapon, his dropped weapon icon is the actual correct gem icon.
---- When playing as him in a 1P game, the game will crash and reset after defeating the 4th opponent. This is because he has no proper sprite and dialogue for the cutscene. You can see this around 11:31 in the video. There is an easy workaround to get past this, which I have done.
---- He has boss properties. All of his gem attacks hit hard which means that he doesn't follow the logical hit strengths of the regular characters; and his Weak Slash on the ground is a fast multi-hitting normal that is very powerful if it connects unblocked.
---- If he gets hit heavily at certain situations, he automatically does the disappearing and re-appearing move.
---- In a 1P game, after defeating CPU Amakusa at the end, the game will crash and reset because he doesn't have a proper ending programmed in.

This is a playthrough using Sho Shinjo in the PS1 Japanese version of Battle Arena Toshinden 1. Read on below for more information...
Sho is a hidden final boss in 1P Game mode on the harder difficulty levels, and he is an unlockable playable character.
HOW TO UNLOCK SHO
1) First, you need to unlock Gaia: Whenever you get to a situation where the title screen appears and the menu words scroll in, use Controller 1 and enter the motion: Down, Down-Right, Right + Square (or D, DF, F + Weak Slash) like a special move during the scrolling words. If youve done it correctly youll hear a voice. You will also find that the colour of the menu text has changed.
2) After that, again get to a situation where the title screen appears and the menu words scroll in, use Controller 2 and enter the motion: Right, Down, Down-Right + Square (F, D, DF + Weak Slash) like a special move. If youve done it correctly youll hear a voice.
3) On the character select screen, highlight Kayin, hold Down and press any attack button to select Sho.
Remember, these codes are different to the Western versions of the game!
SHO MOVES
Key: S = any Slash; K = any Kick; WK = Weak Kick; HS = Heavy slash; QCF = Quarter Circle Forward; QCB = Quarter Circle Back; HCF = Half Circle Forward; HCB = Half Circle Back; DP = Dragon Punch motion; RDP = Reverse Dragon Punch motion; UF = diagonal Up-Forward; UB = diagonal Up-Back
COMMAND NORMALS
- Slide: DF + K
SPECIAL MOVES
- Double Fireball: QCF + S
- Shoulder Crush: QCB + K
- Hishou Zan: DP + S
- Deadly Raise: RDP + S
- Backflip: D, U + K
- Air Backflip: during jump, D, U + K
- Diving Kick: during jump, QCB + K
DESPERATION (requires red flashing life)
- Hyakki Moshuu Ken: HCB, HCF + HS
SECRET MOVE (can be done anytime)
- Spinning Combo: D, F, UF, U, UB, B, D + WK + HS (best done when coming down from a jump)
ABOUT SHO
Sho is the master and older brother of Eiji. He trained both his younger brother and Kayin in the way of the sword, before leaving them without notice. He has since traveled around the world under the alias of The Stranger, searching for strong opponents whom he ends up defeating.
In the first Toshinden tournament (Toshinden 1), he met and fought against a woman named Cupido who was from the Himitsu Kessha organization. They soon fell in love and eventually had a son named Subaru.
GAME TRIVIA
On the character select screen, just like Gaia, he has no icon and no image portrait.
Eiji is the only character in the game to not have a hair colour change on his alternate second costume.
DIFFERENCES IN THE JAPANESE VERSION
There are some differences in this when compared to the USA/EUR versions of the game... the significant difference is that most of the character music tracks are different. It seems that the West/Europe went to change/improve the music for the Western version of the game. (in the same way on how the SNES fighting game Tuff E Nuff improved the music over the Japanese version of the game, called Dead Dance)
The voices for most of the characters are also different as well. One example of this is Kayins voice, in this version of the game he has a distinct American accent (despite him being Scottish)... whereas in the Western version he had a Scottish accent.

This is a playthrough of single player mode using Smoke in an edited version of the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Mortal Kombat II. Read on below for more information...
This is an alternative version of the Genesis/Mega Drive game, where the bosses and hidden characters are specially made playable, as well as adding other new features and content. The game is known as Mortal Kombat II Unlimited, and the m0d is made by a person named Smoke, a.k.a BIGBOSS. This is version 1.0 of the game.
Smoke is a hidden CPU opponent in the game, and he is an immediately selectable character in this version of the game.

ABOUT SMOKE
The m0d makes him selectable on the character select screen, his panel is at the top-center.
On the character select screen, his panel image is a mirrored and edited version of Reptiles panel. The same goes for his icon on the Battle Plan.
As the m0d has implemented a versus screen for 2-player matches, Smoke naturally has one too. The image used here is an edited version of Sub-Zeros versus screen umage. You can see this at 35:03 in the video.
Smoke now has his own profile/biography screen during the demos. The image here uses Sub-Zeros sprite, but has a newly-created background with smoke. You can see this at 35:06 in the video.
If you beat the game with him, he naturally has an ending in this version of the game. The two images used here are edited versions of the images in Sub-Zeros and Scorpions endings.
He does not have an alternate colour palette for mirror matches.
In gameplay, he now emits smoke, just like the CPU Smoke. (in the original MK2, if external methods are used to select him as a player character, he does not emit smoke)
MKII UNLIMITED SMOKE GAMEPLAY
His Spear special move is now available to the player. The m0d also adds other special moves from Scorpion and Reptile.
He now has Finishing moves.
He has the fastest walking speeds in the game.
Unfortunately, he is missing the special move where he walks VERY fast up to the opponent before throwing them. Only the CPU Smoke can do this.
As he now has Finishing Moves and can have finishing moves performed on him, it means that he can go into the Finish Him/Her! event.
The glitched/unintended moves from the original MK2 version of him is removed.
TRIVIA
He is the only character in the game to have different walking poses for walking forwards and backwards.

![Samurai Shodown 3 (alt) [Arcade] - play as Kuroko](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t2wKaWXkgXQ/mqdefault.jpg "Samurai Shodown 3 (alt) [Arcade] - play as Kuroko
This is a playthrough using Kuroko in an alternative Arcade version of Samurai Shodown 3. Read on below for more information...
Kuroko is a CPU opponent who appears at Stage 6 in a one-player game. He operates as a mirror match character, meaning that he clones the opponent by morphing into him or her at the start of a match. He is a non-selectable character in this game.
NOTE: Most Continues cut out of the video to save time and vide file size.
Here is the information on the character:
When he is highlighted on the character select screen, his sprite does not have any animation. The colors are also wrong.
On the character select screen, when he is selected, on the Technique / Level section, his colour palettes are wrong and shows more color change glitches if the player switches between the modes. The same applies to his portrait on the right.
On the character select screen, in the Technique / Level scetion, when he is selected, he uses Zankuros animations with glitched colours.
On the fight screen, he does not have any name text under the lifebar.
When you win a match with him in single-player or 2-player, you will get his WELL DONE winning screen with Kuroko in a glitched colour palette. This glitched color palette seems to be copied from the last character he cloned.
In the pre-match cutscene before fighting CPU Kuroko, the player Kuroko has a glitched sprite of Zankuro behind him. You can see this at 12:18 in the video.
If Kurokos opponent is Zankuro, he will use Haohmarus transform animation to morph into Zankuro. There is no Zankuro morph animations because the two characters are not supposed to fight each other.
In gameplay, the super move commands for him that appear are the same no matter which character he is transformed into, and are wrong.
If you beat the game with him, his ending text is the same as Zankuros defeated speech.

![Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Gun Jack](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/thXzsHZ5ap4/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 3 [Arcade] - play as Gun Jack
This is a playthrough using Gun Jack in the Arcade version of Tekken 3. Read on below for more information...
Gun Jack is a hidden character in the game. He is a time-release unlockable playable character.
GUN JACK TIME RELEASE
From the games first power on, Gun Jack will be selectable in 69 days. His Coming Soon screen is supposedly on 59 days.
TO FIGHT GUN JACK
After his Coming Soon screen has occurred, play a 1-player game and either get to Stage 3 in 50 seconds or less; OR get to Stage 4 in 11000 or less.
Gun Jack will appear on Stage 4 or Stage 5 depending on which condition you met above.
The above is not confirmed.
GUN JACK STORY
When Jane was a child, she was rescued from a bacteriological war zone by Jack-2. After the Tekken 2 tournament, the robot was destroyed by a satellite laser. When Jane reached the age of 17, and with the help of funding from the Mishima Zaibatsu, she then spent the next 10 years restoring Jack-2 to 90% functionality. She eventually learns that the Mishima Heavy Industries were responsible for Jack-2s A.I., and discovers something called Project Gun Jack. She snuck into Mishima Heavy Industries and secretly installed the hidden program, resulting in the creation of Gun Jack.
GUN JACK GAMEPLAY
Its Jack... anyone who knows Tekken will generally have an idea of how Jack plays right? Lots of clumsy swinging punches, sequence uppercuts and some hard-hitting moves and throws. In Tekken 3, Gun Jack has a large repertoire of special throws, as well as gaining Ganryus Sumo Stomp. Jack, as always, makes for a great opponent - because every time you hit him, those mechanical hit sound effects sure feels good.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Gun Jack only appears in Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament 1. And this is the only version of him with this unique name.
A modified version of Gun Jack appears as the first boss in the Devil Within mode contained in the PS1 version of Tekken 5.
As he appears in Tekken 3, he can be considered to be Jack-3. The same applies to Tekken Tag Tournament 1.
In his PS1 Tekken 3 ending, Jane looks somewhat like a specific attired Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2.

OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA

Obviously, they have different moves to their regular counterparts.
They have different images for their character select icons, Order portraits and lifebar icons to their regular counterparts.
ABOUT ARCADE KOF98UM

As well as new artwork for the new (and some old) characters, it also has new/old stage backgrounds and new or extra music for certain events. The most significant feature is probably the addition of Goenitz and Orochi as possible final bosses. Changes are also made to the gameplay and mechanics obviously.

OLD/SSFII GUILE DIFFERENCES

Regarding other differences, these include:
He does not have New Guiles neutral Fierce and Roundhouse, and also his close-up Roundhouse
He does not have the neutral moving Forward which are new command normals for New Guile
His spinning knuckle normal is his regular neutral Fierce and not a command normal unlike New Guile

ABOUT KARAI
Karai is a character who has appeared in the TMNT comics and in several other media as a high-ranking member of Shredders Foot Clan. She is supposedly Shredders disciple and adopted daughter. Her allegiance (to the heroes or villains) varies between the media.
In the SNES version of TTF, she worked with Rat King to orchestrate the games events. In the Story Battle mode of the game, Karai (who is not known to the Turtles) arrives in New York with the forces of the Shredder Elite to avenge Shredder, and kidnaps Splinter and April ONeil to lure the Turtles into fighting her minions.
DESIGN
In the SNES version of TTF, her design is very different to the Genesis TTF version of Karai. As the SNES game aims for a more flamboyant style, her moves here are crazy and dramatic, unlike the Genesis Karai.
OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA
Even when unlocked, her figure does not appear on the character select screen in VS Battle and Watch mode.
When using third party methods to play as her, after you defeat CPU Karai, she can appear on the screen with the two women and falling money, assuming you beat the game well enough.
When using third party methods to play as her in Tournament mode, after you defeat CPU Karai, and after the winning screen, the game will crash as she does not have a proper ending programmed in.
When using third party methods to play as her in Tournament mode, she is has no problems in the bonus game, despite her not being meant to appear here.
A lot of her moves have boss properties. Meaning that they are really fast, unnatural in movement, have great range, have high priority and inflict high damage.
Her appearance in the SNES version of the game is roughly based on the design from the Mirage comics.
In the Japanese version of the game (TTF: Mutant Fighters), her lifebar icon image is different.
Regarding Aska, a certain item of attire is more revealing in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she has a different and more animated winning pose in the Japanese version.
Regarding Aska, she was originally meant to be named Mitsu as an early beta version of the game shows.
The game is on three platforms - the NES, SNES and Genesis. However, the three games are significantly different to each other.
The USA version of the game came first, with the Japanese version following later.
In the Japanese version of the game, there are differences such as balance changes, new voice clips from Turtles in Time, a breakable wall extending the arena in the Studio 6 stage, and the ability to select the alternate colour palette by using the Start button on the select screen.
The European version uses Hero instead of Ninja in the games title.

![Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Lee Chaolan](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uiju36OB_Rk/mqdefault.jpg "Tekken 1 Boss Edition [PS1] - play as Lee Chaolan
This is a playthrough of Arcade Mode using Lee in the PS1 version of Tekken 1. Read on below for more information...
Lee Chaolan is the sub-boss for Kazuya in the game. He is an unlockable playable character in the normal version of it.
ABOUT THE BOSS EDITION
To put it simply, this is the normal game as usual but with the major difference being that the bosses icons appear on the character select screens instead of the regular characters. The 2P Play Mode character select screen also has this change whereby it replaces the regular characters texts.
The interesting thing is that the final boss Heihachi replaces the slot of Kazuya... logically you would think that only the sub-bosses would appear here right? Heihachi being present here results in Kunimitsu not appearing on this screen.
Note that the sub-bosses icon slot appearances here do not replace/match their regular starting character counterparts (for example Anna would replace Ninas slot), meaning that its not a structured appearance. Instead, they are of the same order as when they are all unlocked in the normal version of the game.
The bosses icons on this screen are not just aesthetical... they actually function and do give you the chosen boss when you select them here. Think of it as the bosses being the main characters this time.
I find it rather interesting because normally the bosses icons are never shown on the character select screen (you normally move the cursor off the side of the screen to select the bosses after theyre unlocked).
BOSS EDITION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- If you select a boss this way and use him/her to beat Arcade Mode, it does not unlock their regular counterpart.
- As mentioned earlier, Kunimitsu is the only boss that does not appear on the character screen due to Heihachi appearing.
UNLOCK INFORMATION
- HOW TO UNLOCK LEE IN THE NORMAL VERSION OF THE GAME:
Beat Arcade Mode with Kazuya. Lee will then be available on the character select screen by scrolling off the side of the row.
ABOUT LEE
As the adopted son of Heihachi, Lee holds a semi-important role in the Mishima storyline. He is one of the more popular characters in the franchise for his sleek style of fighting and his trademark thumbs-up & catchphrase of excellent.
LEE GAMEPLAY
He is a derivative of Law for the most part. Extras include Mishima-style axe kicks and Pauls jumping double axe kicks. In the PS1 version of the game, he was given several new moves not seen in the Arcade version... for example the infinite kicks and the Lazers Edge kick combo. He also has a new drop throw, which replaces his run up and flatten opponent throw (Laws one) of the Arcade version. Gotta make him less of a clone.
LEE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- In Tekken 1, in gameplay he uses Kazuyas voices. However, his laugh (during his win pose) is unique to him.
- On the character select screen, his still portrait image the last frame of his FMV portrait from the Arcade version.
- In Tekken 2, he was switched to be Heihachis personal sub-boss instead of Kazuyas.
ABOUT PS1 TEKKEN 1
This version of the game is virtually arcade perfect, even bettering the Arcade version in a lot of ways, such as:
1) The sub-bosses and Heihachi being made to be unlockable playable characters. They are unplayable in the Arcade version.
2) Extra/new and unique moves for the bosses.
3) A new alternative costume for each of the bosses.
4) FMV endings for the regular characters.
5) Offering an excellent Arranged soundtrack.
The minor downside however is that the character portraits on the select screen are static when you select/confirm them, unlike in the Arcade where they had animation. This is probably done to cut loading times.

ABOUT WANG
As one of the original sub-bosses of the franchise, he fills the Chinese-wise-old-master role and does the job quite well. He even has the friends-with-the-other-old-masters thing as well, complete with the visiting-their-grave scene.
In Tekken 1, he was very unnoticed due to the story of the franchise being very raw and uncooked at the time, and the fact that he was an unplayable character in the Arcade version and a hidden unlockable character in the PS1 version made him even more less known. I think his in-gameplay model is a bit of an eyesore in Tekken 1... he looked much better in Tekken 2, especially his character select screen portrait image.
WANG GAMEPLAY
He is basically a derivative of Michelle for the most part, with Ninas Chi Strike move. He has also been blessed with a lesser variation of Pauls Phoenix Smasher. In the PS1 version of the game he has a few extra unique moves, such as a low power strike, as well as having his own throws.
WANG TRIVIA
- In the Arcade version of the game, he is the only boss character to have his own unique voice for all situations/activities.
- He was changed to be Jun Kazamas or Baek Doo Sans sub-boss in Tekken 2.
