Radica Games Ghost Giles Yu-Yu Hakusho 74025 Instruction Manual

Compatible Character - A character that is

compatible with your unit.

Aggressive Character - A character that is

not compatible with your unit.

Grudge Match Character - A character you

have previously banished. 

Item - An item or special attack your charac-

ters can use during battle.

If you scan a Compatible Character, and you

do not already have it in your controller, the

unit will ask if you wish to “Recruit” or “Ban-

ish” this particular creature. If you choose to

recruit the character, it becomes part of your

inventory. If your unit is full, then you will have

to banish one of your other characters before

you can recruit a new one.

Hint: Every time you banish a particular char-

acter, it becomes harder to beat the next time

you face it in battle.

If you scan a character that is already in your

controller, but the new character is stronger or

your current character is Knocked Out, the

new character will replace the old character.

Be Careful!

If an Aggressive or Grudge Match Character is

scanned you have to be ready to fight! How-

ever, if you don’t have at least one compatible

characters active or inside your controller, the

controller will reject the character.  

VIEWING YOUR COLLECTED CHAR-

ACTERS AND ITEMS

Once you have collected a compatible char-

acter or an item, you can view it by selecting

“character” or “item” from the main screen

using the ON / A Button.

Characters

If you select “character” from the main menu,

an image of the first character in your invento-

ry will appear. If you press the Pan Button,

you can use the Directional Pad to see the

entire picture of the character. Press the ON /

A Button to view the character’s name, num-

ber, and team name. Press the ON / A Button

again to view the character’s “Attack Value

and Cost” followed by it’s “Defense Value.”

Press the ON / A Button again to view the

character’s current “Advantage Level” and

“Experience Points”. Each character gains

some experience point for every battle won.

After earning enough experience points, the

character moves up a level. This makes it

more powerful, gives it more attack options,

and makes it harder to defeat.

Press the ON / A Button again to view the

character’s attack options. Select “Attack” to

see what kind of attack moves this character

has available to it. Press the “Left” direction of

the Directional Pad to return to the Main

Menu.

Example: 

AV (Attack Value)

+222  - This number represents the power of

a character’s attack without any items or tech-

niques attached. If items or techniques are

involved, the number increases. Each attack

has a price (Cost –19). The more powerful the

attack, the more spirit energy it costs to use it.

When this character loses all its points, it is

knocked out.

DEF   (Defense Value)

+228   This number determines how much

damage this character can take.

A.L. & EX.PT. (Advantage Level & Experience

Points)

A.L. 10

EX. PT. 000.0  

The Advantage Level is increased by the

amount of experience points earned. Experi-

ence points increase by the amount of match-

es won.

Items

Select “item” from the Main Menu, and an

image of the first item in your inventory will

appear. Use the Directional Pad to scroll

through the items. 

Press the ON / A Button to view the Item’s

name, Defense or Attack Modifier Value and

it’s Cost. Press the ON / A Button again to

view the item’s Attack Type (unlimited, one

time only, etc.).

Helpful Hint: It’s helpful to have a variety of

items stockpiled before going to battle.

TRADING AND BANISHING 

CHARACTERS

Trading characters with a friend is a great way

to get Aggressive Characters and Grudge

Match Characters without having to fight

them! All you have to do is link your unit with

his by placing your controllers against each

other, connecting the tabs and slots at the top

of them, making sure they snap together.

Now, from the Main Menu, both you and your

friend select the Trade option by highlighting it

and pressing the ON / A Button. If linking suc-

cessfully, the screen will show “OK”. Next use

the Directional Pad to scroll through your char-

acters until you find which one you want to

trade.  Once both players have chosen a char-

acter, the character you both are trading will

appear on each other’s screens. You can then

decide whether to accept that character or

not. Once both people accept the trade, the

characters will be traded between the two

units.

To banish a character, choose Banish from the

Main Menu. Then scroll through your inventory

of characters using the Directional Pad. Select

a character by pressing the ON / A Button.

You will then be taken to the Confirm screen

where you can choose “Select Again” to

choose another character, or “Banish” to

delete the chosen character. Just remember,

he won’t be very happy about being banished.

And if you come across him again, he’s going

to want a Grudge Match!

ASSEMBLE YOUR TEAM!

Once you have at least five active characters,

you can battle characters collected in a

friend’s controller.

You will be prompted to select the 1st, 2nd,

3rd, 4th and 5th members of your character

team. You can do this by using the Directional

Pad and the ON / A Button to scroll through

your characters. NOTE: if a Character is not

Become a true Spirit Detective!

Now you can collect, trade, and battle your

favorite Yu-Yu Hakusho characters as you

fight to protect our world from the creatures of

the spirit realm. You’ll find many of the Yu-Yu

Hakusho characters and creatures hiding in

common household product UPC codes. Just

scan the code and let the battle begin!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

By scanning UPC codes (bar codes) from

common household products, this special unit

can collect up to 55 characters/creatures and

25 items! Each character has its own strengths

and weaknesses and the items have a variety

of uses.

Once you scan them, many of the characters

will enter your controller voluntarily. However,

others may refuse to join, and you must defeat

them in battle in order to add them to your

collection. And if you have ever banished a

character from your unit, it will be much more

difficult to defeat the next time you meet.

BUTTONS AND FEATURES

Scanning Wand - When activated, place the

tip flat on either side of a UPC code and scan

it left-to-right or right-to-left. 

Troubleshooting: Scan the entire barcode

back and forth to ensure a true read of the

barcode. If you still have difficulty, speed up

your scanning. Also, check your batteries. If

you are consistently not acquiring a character

your batteries maybe low.

Directional Pad - This four-way button helps

you scroll through things like: the Main Menu,

your collection of characters, and your inven-

tory of items. It also lets you pan across a

character pictured in your view screen (when a

character is selected). 

Hint: You can press the “left” direction of the

Directional Pad to return to the main menu at

almost any time.

ON / A Button - Use this to turn on the con-

troller and to enter selections. When a charac-

ter is selected, this button also lets you view

all its information. 

B button - Press this button to back out of

any selection to the previous screen.

Pan button - When a character is selected,

press this button, then use the Directional Pad

to pan across the entire image of the charac-

ter.

Sound On / Off - From the Main Menu,

choose “sound,” then use the Directional Pad

and the ON / A Button to turn the sound On or

Off.

Reset button - When a blunt point is inserted,

this resets the controller to its original settings.

Just remember, when you press this but-

ton, all your characters and player data is

cleared.

Sleep Mode -

After 60 seconds of inactivity,

your controller will automatically go into “sleep

mode”. To turn it on again, simply press the

ON / A Button and the controller will return to

the last screen you were viewing.

COLLECTING CHARACTERS

From the Main Menu, select the “Scan”

option. The screen will read, “Ready to Scan”

and the Port at the end of the Scanning Wand

will become active for 10 seconds.

Now go to any household product that has a

UPC (bar code) printed on it. It can be a box

of cereal, a book, a new toy, or anything that

is scanned at a store register.

Place the Scanning Wand directly onto the

surface of the product, in front or behind the

bar code, and slide it over the code from left-

to-right or right-to-left. When the code is read,

the controller will beep and a power bar will

appear. If it is emply or not full power, the

code wasn’t scanned properly, try again. If it is

full power, you definitely picked up something!

Hint: Flat surfaces are the easiest to scan. It

takes more practice and skill to scan round or

odd-shaped surfaces. Just remember to

always keep the tip of the Scanning Wand flat

against the surface when scanning. Larger bar

codes work best. See example below.

Now, if it is a full power, you have successfully

scanned one of four different things:
