  /\---LEGENDS-----------------------------------------------------------
 /  \
/

Following is a list of Danger Room scenarios: their objectives, the 
required number of credits you need to have earned, the recommended level 
(according to the game) for playing the scenario, the reward for 
completion, the location of the disc and tips for completing the scenario, 
if needed. (Note: n/a in the Location field means the disc is automatically 
available to you and does not need to be collected during game play.)


=======================
[9.1] Freshman Classes
=======================

The first 6 classes listed here are very basic training. You play them as 
Magma and they will help you learn the basics of gameplay. Play them early, 
during your first Interlude. Moves 105, especially, is actually harder to 
execute once you've leveled up a bit--your attacks are so powerful you 
knock the Danger Room robots away from you and can't complete the strike 
sequence. For the other classes at this level (and most DR classes except 
for the character-specific challenges), you can choose your team from 
currently available X-Men.
