 Introduction
===============

GT Advance Championship Racing is one of the lanch titles for Nintendo's new
handheld, the
GameBoy Advance.  At first, I didn't expect this title to be good because handheld
racing
wasn't that good.  But when I first popped this game in, I was amazed how MTO and
THQ made
this game.  So, after a month of playing GTA, I decided to write a guide (one reason
also is
that I have a lot of free time.. hehe) to help other players.  Hope this helps.

  Game Modes
==============

A.  CHAMPIONSHIP

    This mode is the main one-player game.  While playing through a Championship
season, you
    will be able to unlock new cars, better parts, and additional race tracks
(depends on what
    position you finish).

    1st place finish --> new car, new part, new track
    2nd place finish --> new part, new track
    3rd place finish --> new track
    4th-8th finish   --> LOSER!

B.  QUICK RACE

    This mode allows you to compete in one race at a time.  Choose from any of the
cars,
    upgrades and tracks already unlocked in the Championship mode before competing.

C.  TIME ATTACK

    Try to beat your best times on any of the available courses.  Select a car and
make
    adjustments to its tuning before selecting a course.

D.  PRACTICE

    This mode allows you to take any car onto a test drive course to learn how it
accelerates
    and corners.  There is no time limit and you can drive anywhere on the course to
test the
    limits of your car.

E.  ??? (EXTRA 1)

    To unlock this mode, you have to finish the High Speed Class in the Championship
mode.  This
    allows you to race using karts.

F.  ??? (EXTRA 2)

    To unlock this mode, you have to finish the Professional Class in the
Championship mode.         This allows you to race using formula cars.

G.  VERSUS

    I do not need to explain this.  2 player game using a link cable.
