Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

You can unlock two hidden music tracks in the game: "How Crazy Are You" (by Meja) and "Is This Love" (by Bob Marley). To obtain them, play through the game once. When you resume that saved game file, these two hidden songs will be available in the Radio Station.

Press Left during the spike to spike it short; Right to spike it deep; Up to spike it high (to the top of the screen); or Down to spike it low (to the bottom of the screen). You can do this in a combo (for example, press Down/Right to spike it low and deep.

During the first few matches with a new teammate, she will compliment you on a good serve or spike. The moment your partner stops giving you kudos, it is time to cheer her up as best as possible. If it is someone you can do without, this is not that important, but otherwise you will need to buy your friend something she will really like to stay in good terms with her. If none of the shops have exactly what you want, go to the Sports Shop and buy a moderately expensive swimsuit. That usually does the trick and usually there is something that she really likes in the shops the next day. Remember, when the two of you break up she will not accept any more gifts from you until the vacation's over.

Enter to the options menu, then change Zack's language to Japanese.

Successfully complete the game. When you start a new game, you can immediately advance to the end. Select the "Leave Tomorrow" option at the hotel or pool menu to skip to the ending.

Wait for the credits to end to see a extra FMV sequence featuring Zack and the remains of his island.

When looking at the selectable courses, look at the profiles of the two characters you are playing against. They seem to follow the same ones from Exhibition mode, where if her head is turned slightly, it indicates that she is less willing to play with the person she is paired with. This often leads to a lot of missed volleys and spikes on their part, making for an easier match and a chance to win more money.

Hold L immediately after someone scores.

Only one girl - Lisa - can buy the best suit in the game, but you can give it as a gift to the other girls. Start a new game with Lisa, and pick a teammate. Only send gifts to that girl. Send her less-expensive suits at first, and work your way up slowly to the Venus, or else she'll throw it away if you give it too soon. Give one suit in each price bracket, and try to give the ones that are that girl's favorite color, though they all do accept gifts of a similar color. As an example, Lisa's favorite color is stated as Crimson Red, but she's equally happy with Hot Pink. Neon Orange turns her off.

It's important to keep your teammate happy or she won't accept the more expensive suits, so toss in the smaller items (hats, shoes, volleyballs, foods, etc) to keep their levels up, even if you're on a winning streak...

You might have to play through the game with Lisa a couple or more times to get enough money to buy all the gifts, but only send gifts to that one girl until you can give her the Venus. Even if she throws it away, continue sending her smaller gifts until the end of the game.

Now start a new game and pick the girl you were just sending gifts to as Lisa, and pick Lisa as your partner. Whatever Lisa (you) sent that was thrown away in the previous game will be re-sent by Lisa (computer), and now you can manually choose to accept those gifts, including the Venus and other suits.

Do the same thing with all the other girls. The computer will send the other girls onto the courts wearing the Venus, but it might be a good idea to play at least one game with each girl to delete excess suits from their inventory, because the computer sends suits out to the other girls as well. Sadly, you can't delete all the suits and only leave them with the Venus, but you can certainly make their choices limited.

Another tip: Helena and Christie are both pains in the butt for this trick! You really have to shmooze these two because they are so fickle, and the computer doesn't help by not rotating the inventory to keep a plentiful stock of the colors you need (when trying to get Lisa to send Christie (me) the Venus, all I had for inventory was dark purple suits (Ayane), and Lisa split quickly because I couldn't send her anything she liked).

Helena is just too Goth for her own good - lose a few games and she scrams, and it takes 4 days to get her back if she even comes out in the day. She's also slow about sending good gifts even if you're winning with perfect games (hats, shoes, cheap suits, etc).
