Sotsugyou Vacation (PlayStation: 1997.10.16)

	Graduation Vacation



	Mini-Game Hidden Commands



	Updated: 21 March 1998

	Created: 18 February 1998



	Disclaimer: I tried the hidden commands in the

	Mini-Game menu in the Natsu no Omoide menu in the

	main menu. I presume they'll work in the actual

	adventure. The Natsu no Omoide menu appears after

	the player clears the game once.



	Mini-Game: "Yabu wo tsukisusume"

	Hidden Commands: While the PS is loading the mini-game and before the

instruction screen appears, hold L1+R1+Up+Triangle until the instruction

screen appears.

	Results: Confirmed. When the game begins, the goal is visible in the map.

Normally, the goal is visible only when it's one square from the protagonist.



	Mini-Game: "Watashi no omoi wa sao no saki"

	Hidden Commands: While the PS is loading the mini-game and before the

instruction screen appears, hold L1+R1+Select+Start until the instruction

screen appears.

	Results: Confirmed. All the fishes and items in the water are rare

fishes/items that suit anyone. Don't see any UFO that Maina-chama wants,

though the Sotsugyou Vacation Official Guide Book (Game Fan Books, Mainichi

Communications Inc, 1997) says Kappa-san and UFO-san are in the mini-game.



	Mini-Game: "Shinkei-suijaku tankentai"

	Hidden Commands: While the PS is loading the mini-game and before the

instruction screen appears, hold L1+L2+Square+Cross+Select until the

instruction screen appears.

	Results: Partly confirmed. All but two cards are 6. The remaining two

cards are supposed to be 0. However, the Event squares aren't always six

squares from the start.



	Mini-Game: "Ochi YASHI kakuritsu 100%"

	Hidden Commands: While the PS is loading the mini-game and before the

instruction screen appears, hold L1+R2 (not L1+L2) until the instruction

screen appears.

	When selecting the protagonist's kick power, press Select to apply maximum

kick power.

	When the coconuts begin to fall, hold Select to automatically guard.

	Results: Confirmed. At maximum kick power, 44 coconuts fall. Hold Select

in both rounds to auto-guard.



	Mini-Game: "Kojima no doukutsu"

	Hidden Commands: When choosing a cave to enter, press L1+L2+R1+R2 to

automatically enter a snakeless cave.

	Results: Confirmed. The protagonist and heroine enter a snakeless cave

regardless of where the pointer is. This hidden command doesn't work when

the round begins with as many snakes as there are caves. Throw a rock

first, then try the hidden command.



	Start button: After the player cleared the game once, he can press the

Start button to skip the opening demo, introduction event, and dinner

screen. Eg, in the dinner screen, no message window appears and food

instantly materialise on the tables.
