1. Intro
=======================================================================

WWE Crush Hour is a newly released game that puts the WWE superstars into 
cars that are equipped with guns. This guide will hopefully provide 
information that will help you make it through the game & unlock all of the 
wrestlers.

For my review of WWE Crush Hour go to:

=======================================================================
2. Revision History
=======================================================================

Version 3.1 - April 14, 2003: Got rid of the line at the bottom of the guide 
asking for help with the Demolition Derby mode because I have gotten numerous 
e-mails telling me how even though I already added how to get it. I would 
still like to thank the people who were willing to help. I also added who 
Edge unlocks & a link to my review of the game. I'm hopefully going to have 
Lita unlocked soon & all of the stats should be finished by the end of the 
long weekend. I will also try to add a map or two.

Version 3.0 - April 12, 2003: Added car stats for the rest of the hidden 
characters except Lita (I'm going to work on unlocking her soon). I've also 
started to add some quotes, specials & advanced stats plus another strategy 
each for King of the Ring & the bottom line.

Version 2.5 - March 29, 2003: Added Layouts & Strategies for the rest of the 
arenas. I also added two new sections to the bottom of the FAQ & the car 
stats for Vince McMahon & Christian. Hopefully this version will get 
accepted.

Version 2.0 - March 26, 2003: I just completed my first career mode so I 
finished the list of career mode weeks & added a strategy for the Final 
Battle against Vince McMahon in career mode. I also added the basic 
strategies. Car info for Christian & Vince McMahon coming soon plus 
strategies for all of the remaining arenas should be done this weekend (I'm 
going to try & finish up my Crush Hour review in the next couple of days).

I sent version 1.5 into Gamefaqs but it hasn't appeared on the site so it 
either didn't get accepted or hasn't been looked at yet so I'm going to send 
in this version so hopefully it gets put up.

Version 1.5 - March 24, 2003: Added Wrestlers & Arenas.

Version 1.0 - March 23, 2003: Added basic things like the intro, controls 
etc.

=======================================================================
3. Controls

A - Accelerate
B - Brake & Reverse
X - Turbo
Y - Special Attack (When special meter is full)

=======================================================================
4. Basic Strategies
=======================================================================
This section will outline my basic strategies for winning in Crush Hour along 
with any strategies that are sent to me.

- Always go for the weakest person.

- Try to memorize where the health is so you always know where to go.

- Save your special for opponents that have high health. Don't waste it on 
someone you can easily blow up with your gun.

- Always remember where you laid mines.

- Only get the useful weapons & just ignore the others.

- Stay far away from any place that you can fall off of. 

***More to come***

5. Weapons
=======================================================================
In this section, I will tell you about each of the weapons and what I think 
of them.

Annihilator
Maximum you can have: 2
Description: It sends out a beam straight ahead of you that does major damage 
if it hits someone.
My Rating: 3/5 - Does good damage but it is hard to hit people with.

Atomic Drop
Maximum you can have: 3

My Rating: 2/10 - Opponent usually moves before this does any damage.

Grenade Launcher
Maximum you can have: 16

seconds after hitting the ground.

Laser Guided Rockets
Maximum you can have: 6

My Rating: 4/5 - Usually takes at least 2 or 3 to do any real damage but they 
are almost a guaranteed hit.

Mines
Maximum you can have: 8
Description: Drops mines on the ground that will explode when someone drives 
over them.
My Rating: 2/5 - Don't do a lot of damage & I usually end up driving over my

=======================================================================
7. Arenas
=======================================================================
This section is dedicated to the different arenas, their objectives and 
specific strategies.

Raw
Objective: Kill a certain amount of opponents to win.
Layout: Pretty open arena that has 4 raw stages around the outside, which is 
where you start. The centre of the arena contains an invulnerability that is 
surrounded by spinning blades. Health & turbos can be found around the 
outside.
My strategies: - Go after everyone
               - Avoid the spinning blades

SmackDown!
Objective: Kill a certain amount of opponents to win.
Layout: Another open arena with 4 SmackDown stages around the outside. This 
one also includes some hallways where some more powerful weapons can be 
found. In the center of the arena there is a floating platform that has a 
double damage on it plus there are 4 ramps going up to the platform which all 
include weapons. Underneath the platform there is armor, which is protected 
by fire.
My strategies: - Use the halls & side rooms (that is where the health is)
               - Stay away from the fire

Hell In A Cell
Objective: Kill a certain amount of opponents to win.
Layout: A multi room outdoor arena that can be very confusing. You start in 
the cell, which is a small square room that contains armor in the centre. 
Once everyone except one person has been killed the cell doors will open 
allowing the last person to leave the cell (the doors are then closed for the 
rest of the match. The outside of the cell is just a larger square that 
surrounds the cell. Once the pyramid doors open, there are 4 places that you 
can go:

     1. The grass: This is a small grass section, which has some pillars in 
the centre & contains various weapons (like the ramming power and some 
health).

     2/3. The square/The stairs: The reason I put these two together is that 
they are connected by an underground tunnel. The square is a small square 
area that contains a few weapons & has a small corridor off to one side. The 
stairs are a set of stairs that lead down to a small underground room with a 
couple of weapons & a tunnel beside the stairs. The tunnel contains various 
weapons.

     4. The pyramid: To get into the pyramid you have to go up the large 
ramp. Once you get to the top you can go either left or right down a giant 
curving ramp to the bottom. At the bottom of the ramp you will find various 
weapons including the annihilator. In between the ramps you will find two 
giant lava pits that will cost you a point if you fall into them.

My strategies: - Stay away from the lava pit area.
               - Use the tunnel for sneak attacks if you know someone is at
                 the other end.
               - The ramming power can be found in the middle of the pillars 
                 in the grass area.

Hardcore
Objective: Hold onto the title belt for 30 seconds.
Layout: Pretty boring level. You start on a small platform. If you drive 
straight ahead you will find the belt in another large room. From there you 
can go into another small side room which contains a few weapons or you can 
go into one of two tunnels on either side that will bring you back to the 
room you started in.
My strategies: - Use a turbo at the beginning to get the belt and then stick
                 Mainly to the tunnels.

Lumberjack
Objective: Collect 5 Stars.
Layout: Outdoor arena that is set at a saw mill. The only real thing in this 
arena is the sawmill in the middle at the top of the hill. Inside is a saw 
that is protecting a weapon (I can't remember which one).
My strategies: - Ignore everyone else and just go for the stars.
