This is a playthrough of the special URA Mode using Wolf in the Saturn game Battle Arena Toshinden URA. Read on below for more information...

The URA Mode is a special hidden 1P Game mode where for each stage, a specific condition or rule needs to be survived or followed in order to progress. You can see what the condition/rule is at the top of the screen during a fight.

===== HOW TO ACCESS URA MODE =====

1) On the the main title screen where it says "Press Start Button", press the following: A, B, C, C, C, X, Y, Z, Z, Z.

2) Now go to the menu, highlight 1P GAME, hold Y and R and press Start.

If you've done both steps correctly, you'll hear a sound for each step on the last button press. You'll now be in URA Mode.

===== THE STAGES OF URA MODE =====

Here is a description of the conditions or rules of the special stages:

---- STAGE 1: Watch out for the fireballs
A few random fireballs travel in random directions around the arena. You can get hit by them, but the CPU opponent is invulnerable to them. This one's easy as there are so few fireballs.

---- STAGE 2: Watch how your opponent moves
You control BOTH characters simultaneously in this match, which means that you control the CPU opponent as well your own. There is a short time limit so this one has the potential to be difficult.

---- STAGE 3: Aim high
The CPU opponent is situated in the air and slowly descends, before reaching the ground and then placed into the air again to repeat. The CPU opponent never attacks so this is no problem at all.

---- STAGE 4: Don't let the taunts get to you
The CPU opponent taunts more than usual in the match, which lowers any built-up Overdrive gauge. Really easy match this one.

---- STAGE 5: Watch the clock
The damage output for both characters is increased massively (like 1-2 hits will knock out the opponent), and you only have 3 seconds to defeat the CPU opponent, which will be Replicant. You can very easily lose this match, but yet you can very easily win it as well.

---- STAGE 6: Fireballs everywhere!
The whole arena is swarmed with fireballs in random directions. You can get hit by them of course, but the CPU opponent is invulnerable to them. This is a very hard match, especially if your character does not have a projectile.

---- STAGE 7: The long battle
The timer counts down from 99 seconds and both character's damage outputs seems to be set low. Other than that, this is pretty much a normal match against a regular character so there should be no problems getting past this one.

---- STAGE 8: Your opponent's invincible-Think!
As the condition implies, the CPU opponent has infinite life. You of course, DON'T have the same luxury. The goal here is to win via a Ring Out, which obviously means that you need to push or cause the CPU opponent to fall off the ring. The timer starts counting down from 99 seconds so you have time to do it. This match can potentially be very difficult to pass especially if your character does not have a projectile.

---- STAGE 9: Caution: It's slippery!
If your character is on the ground he/she will be continuously sliding towards the nearest edge of the ring, resulting in a Ring Out loss if you don't maneuver to stay in the arena. The CPU opponent does NOT slide. This is a hard match, especially if your character does not have a projectile.

---- STAGE 10: The first hit wins
As the condition states.

---- STAGE 11: Look for the shadows
The CPU opponent is invisible, but you can see his/her shadow on the ground. This is easy if your character has a projectile.

---- STAGE 12: Darkness
The stage aesthetics and boundaries cannot be seen, which means that the danger here is the Ring Out. The opponent here will always be Replicant so that adds to the difficulty.

---- FINAL STAGE: The really long battle
This is like a "survival" match, where you only get one lifebar for the match. This means that any depleted life carries over to the next round. You need to win 3 rounds against Wolf in this condition. If you don't know what you're doing then this will be the hardest match in URA Mode.

---- BONUS GAME: Normal
If you manage to get to Sho in URA Mode, the match will be normal with an unlimited timer. You can see this around 14:08.

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- Though "URA" is an abbreviation for Ultimate Revenge Attack, the word "Ura" also has combat connotations in Japanese.

===== ABOUT BAT URA =====

This is the sequel to Toshinden Remix (on the Saturn), and is basically a special version of the original Toshinden 2 (which appeared on the PS1, PC and Arcade), with many differences. These differences include: a different plot that is seen as a side-story; new characters; new CGI; new stage backgrounds; along with new BGMs for the new characters. Even though there are new characters, the drawback is that the original BAT2 characters Gaia, Chaos, Master and Uranus were removed.
