Unfortunately my social anxiety doesn't allow me to speak all too much but I'm glad the info was helpful. I really hope this game can prosper with more information spread and documentation. I know it's kinda unfeasible due to the game's FFA nature in multiplayer, but I've always wondered what a Spikers Battle competitive scene would look like. PS.: Raphael is the only character in the game who has a 3-stage sweep attack instead of a 2-stage one.

Good evening. This may come across as odd but one of the main things that got me interested in Spikers Battle was your uploads of the OST. Of course, I ended up playing it and enjoying it lots, but I've wondered about the boss characters and their fleshed out movesets... Then, on that fateful day, which was 3 days ago, I found some Taiwanese guy playing with Bullet (motorracing gear goon) and I got curious. Of course, I tried to ask them and they directed me to a guy who figured out the requirements for the characters and had uploaded sram and nvmem files for the game that skips all the hassle. For context, the characters ARE playable legit. However, their unlock requirements were made with the expectation that Spikers Battle would really do well (which it didn't): Stage 1: 1000 plays and 8 days of playtime will unlock Sheng Long, Clay, Kitty, and Champ Stage 2: 3000 plays and 15 days of playtime will unlock Bullet (motorcycle helmet guy) and Rudolf (bald guy) Stage 3: 5000 plays and 30 days of playtime will unlock Raphael (the final boss) By the way, to select these characters, you have to press up/down on the stick depending on which character your cursor is on (top row = move up 11 times, bottom row = move down 11 times). Alberto doesn't have a boss character assigned and instead enables random select. This video (https://youtu.be/HIq3pX9QFSA) is entirely in Chinese but it probably details the guy's discovery of this and the link in the description has an sram and nvmem file for DEMUL and Flycast respectively. Though I'm new to NAOMI emulation, I think that these only work for the japanese version of Spikers Battle. You might be curious why I'm sharing all this so randomly. Again, your upload of the OST helped me get into looking for this game, but upon joining the Flycast discord out of curiosity, I also found that you had tried to figure out how to play as the boss characters. I apologize if this is weird in any capacity, but in any case, if you still check your guestbook, I hope this info helps at least a little. Take care.

Hello, first of all WOW, that's a lot of stuff. Flattered to hear that you tried out Spikers Battle from my Youtube rip, although I definitely have to reupload the versions from khinsider one day since those are actually complete (iirc the stage songs on my old rips are truncated, so for example Diesel Town is meant to go a bit longer than the old rip I had) Also, don't worry, I don't find this weird - if anything its a huge, pleasant surprise to see that you took the time to drop all this information here. And...wow, yeah, I had been looking how to unlock those boss characters for a while, but never figured out since I didn't ever get to setup something to make the time go up (the only hint I had from a niconicovideo upload, but I didn't know if it had to be total time or play time either). I had seen that the selection trick worked with random and blanked out the names of the others, but indeed didn't work without the conditions done. I'm VERY grateful that you shared this information with me here, and also gotta leave a comment to the chinese user because DAMN it has to be the first time anyone has ever even documented the boss character unlocks, on top of providing NVRAM files to have all of them enabled. Once again, THANK YOU so much for sending all of this in here. I straight up happened to run into this today that I felt like checking the guestbook, so it's an unexpected but very welcome surprise that something that I had been wondering about for so long was answered by you here. And it's crazy that the video documenting the boss unlocks is from 2025, only a year ago, meaning the conditions were still completely unknown before that. You too take care

To: The man coined, "ArcadeStriker", what up? :wave: I was perusing twitter/x, looking up some fun stuff, when I got a bit of an itch for ringracers mods and noticed your map pack, to which I say, [REDACTED FOR RATHER UNNECESSARILY CRUDE LANGUAGE]. So, all I have to say is that I wish you luck on your future endeavors and have a fine day, evening, night, or whatever, if and whenever you read this message. :tu: P.S.: Holy halibut you got fighting game clips on youtube. A two-in-one package of coolness I never saw coming.

Holy [insert the 135 swears used in the English Yakuza dub for the PS2], I didn't know someone else had showed up around my guestbook since this long ago Hey, to the invididual that identifies as "Some Clown Named Metallick" [or just "Metallick?" who knows], recently I've been doing better as I've finally got access to my PC again [the weeks before it had been going some repairs] and updating my Neocities once more...that's why I ended up finally checking in there again :wave: Thanks for the good wishes, and I hope you are doing well too. Reply to the P.S.: sol badguy go UNGA INSTALL [yeah of course I like my fighting games too since I was a kid with functional memory to remember playing Bloody Roar Primal Fury, Tekken 3 and Super Street Fighter IV - they are real fun whenever I can get to try them online, with friends, or even vs the CPU in some games]

Hey Striker! If and when you plan to check it out, I hope you enjoy "The Mini-Toy Pack: Ballad of the Mini-Toys" mod! P.S.: Do you have any favorite (modded and/or vanilla) Ring Racers or SRB2Kart characters besides Vectorman? - AM/NTV

Replied on: April 16, 2025 at 2:42:33 PM

Heya, yeah I do intend to give it a shot whenever I can - I may have done all my GP runs with Vectorman so far, but I have definitely tried out and got preference for some custom characters while playing online I think my picks would be: Vanilla - Gutbuster, Bark, Mail, Metal Knuckles, Mighty Custom - Captain Falcon, Temjin, Aries [not sure if she's released yet or not publicly] There's likely way more custom characters I'd also mention, but to be honest I haven't tried customs in a while...so I'll have to get up to date with checking more of those another day. Have a good day :]

Back in the early 2000s I used iframes to build websites. So that was a definite must for my nostalgia project. To be honest chatgpt basically built the whole thing for me. Such a handy robot friend to help with stuff like that. For Starship Hector absolutely use turbo and look for the mounds on the ground. If you rapidly bomb them you'll get letters that give a lot of bonus points. My top score on the board was put up with less than 15 minutes total experience with the game. The real hero is KaijuTrinitron who got a score that high with no turbo, what a bad ass. Those style quizzes were popular on MySpace. People would copy them to their blogs and fill them out. I had chatgpt make those for me to fill out while I was bored at work. I figured I'd add them to the site. I didn't think anyone would do them but it'd be cool if someone did. :cool:

Dang man that is crazy! I am so glad I swung back through here and caught your response. That's nuts that you've seen my youtubes. I personally love the pre adsense youtube when it was just enthusiasts sharing their passion in the exciting new world of streaming video. And I never delete my videos no matter how embarassing they are. I hate when I try to find old stuff and its gone because the uploader took it down for whatever reason. I found your site because I was having a nostalgia attack/midlife crisis remember my geocities page from when I was in highschool in the late 90's early 2000s. What shocks me is the amount of 20 somethings making neocities pages. I've been going through some real life stuff my neocities page has been my project to keep my hands and mind busy in down time. jerryscoolpage.neocities.org If you want to check it out or sign he guestbook that would be cool. I've started working on a Sega Saturn shrine and a shrine for all the cool video gaming memorabilia my Mom got me are probably the highlights. *Didn't mean to leave it anonnymous and apparently do not know how to use the linking feature.

I really enjoyed your webzone.

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't know what's more surprising to me- to see that you somehow found your way into here, or to eventually recognize your name from a Sega Saturn Netlink video I had seen MANY years ago, which is still super cool to see that is still there preserving history. Funny how I remembered that as I checked your channel again and ran into your video Die Hard Arcade / Dynamite Deka, as I happened to finally try that game for the first time yesterday. Had to grind in Deep Scan for enough credits to go through the whole game, but at least it is a noticeably shorter beat-em-up than many others I've seen.
