Phantom Crash
Phantom Crash
In the wake of massive air pollution and economic disaster in Tokyo, Japan has relocated its capital. Old Tokyo has become the battleground for a new breed of public entertainment called Rumbling. Observing from a massive airborne viewing station, spectators watch Scoobees battle to the death. More than just high-speed, heavily armed Mechs, Scoobees have an unprecendented stealth capability--turning invisible at will for brief periods of time. The stakes are high. The enemies are ruthless. The action is intense.

Cheat Codes/Hints
1,000 NY
When looking at the map, rotate the right thumbstick to the edge of its reach 360degress(you can only do this 10 times a day.) Rotate until you do not hear the "ding" noise any more. This works every day so don't think its a one time deal.
A once a day 1,000 Neo Yen
Put your figurine on top of any icon and spin the right thumbstick. Your Neo Yen will go up by 100 every 360(You can only do this once a day).
Avoiding enemy fire
Use your OCGs (Optical Camouflage Generators) as much as possible when in an enemy-filled area. They will not be able to see you, giving you the upper hand. You will then be able to destroy them without them even knowing you are there. If you like to shoot extra items such as cars, stacks of cans, etc., do not do so when an enemy is near, as they can "see" the fire. If you get shot when your OCGs are on, they will turn off and the enemy will be able to see you. Go into hiding if they need to recharge.
Better mechs
The Scobee companies will have a special mech with better weapons available on days that are a multiple of six. For example, Day 6, 12, 18 through 60. Successfully complete the game to get a "Clear" saved game. A special mech will appear on days that are a prime number
Better Mechs Upon Game Clear
Once you saved your game (beat the game first!) mechs that appear on days that are not divisible except by itself (i.e., days that are prime number days, like 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. - break out your math book) are super-powerful.
For example, between days 20 to 30, the Wild Mechanics will have a used SV with quad legs, heavy core, and one arm cannon at a cost of 1,500,000.
Easy money
On Day 55, you will have a chance to only fight drones for 3,000 to 4,000 Neo Yen each. It is possible to make well over 3 million Neo Yen through those fights. At the town map screen, place the little "snowboarder" pointer over the garage area. Rotate the Right Analog-stick ten times in any direction to gain 1,000 Neo Yen. Note: You can only do this once per day.
Easy tactics
In the first arena, just run around in a circle, getting any power-ups that manage to pop up. There are side garages you can "pull into" to let your Optical Camouflage recharge.
Easy tactics #2
In the second arena, drop into the large circular hole and wait for power-ups, killing enemies that appear.
Easy tactics #3
In the third area, start on the gate to the right. Then, hide behind the area where you start.
Free Cash
On the main navigation screen, rotate the Right Thumbstick clockwise. Your icon will rotate. Each time they complete a revolution, you'll earn 100 New Yen. You can earn up to 1000 New Yen each day doing this.
