Event 49: This is a very hard event as you will all have gathered and you must use all your skills you have learned and use YOUR strongest character.(I used Ganondorf or Captain Falcon). Try to lure your opponents to the edges of the stage and then use a smash attack to knock them off.
Also you can try and use DK and his forward throw attack to pick up your opponents and jump in the pit with them.

Event 50: Captain Falcon or Ganondorf are a good choice of character for this event. Use their great "B" button ground attacks. Also you can use there UP + A attack as you can do this without jumping. Attack the hand on the left first as it is easier and will sometimes site there doing nothing.

Event 51: Using Jigglypuff is quite effective on this event as you can uses his rest move to great effect on multiple opponents , but don't stand near to the edge of the stage as you can easily be knocked off when you are asleep
Alternatively you can use Kirby and go to the edge of the stage and hang off, drop and then float. Your opponents are likely to fall off the edge. Keep doing this until they wont fall for it anymore. Once they stop falling for it repeatedly use her DOWN + A attack.

Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Also quite a few of you requested help on Star Wars about Gold Medals and some power ups. Unfortunately I have no help on the power ups at the moment but help will be posted soon.

Death Star-Gold Medal: This is the first level and the hardest to get a Gold Medal on. You have to be extremely quick. As soon as you start you have to take out the Deflection Towers, and you can rack up yours kills here by taking out the little turrets surrounding the base of the Deflection Towers. Use your targeting computer to make it easier to see the turrets and so you don't drop your accuracy level.
Now the next part is pure and simple skill. When the Tie Fighters come take them out quickly and take them out in groups or they will split and make it impossible to get the Gold Medal.
When you move into the trench go as fast as you can taking out the turrets on your way. Only slow down when the Ties attack. When Darth Vader attacks don't slow down, but shoot him as many times as possible. Then its straight to the exhaust port.

Prisons of Maw-Gold Medal: For this level your best of using the Y-Wing. On this level most buildings and asteroids you can destroy don't count as kills so don't shoot at them. Keep your Wings in formation and steer them away from the asteroids, and destroy every Tanker from the left.
When you see the Shield send your Wings against the fighters to keep them off you and quickly disable 3 generators.
When heading for the Prison Building keep your Wings in formation and destroy all the groups of AT-PTs. Once at the prison take out the Hanger Guns and protect the Shuttle.

007- Agent Under Fire
This game is no way a Goldeneye beater but it has its moments and Joe Lewis has the game and has doesn't know whether or not he has finished it.

Well Joe I have had the game and finished it and had the same concerns as you, that there were no credits and the end scene was rather short and had I actually finished the game. I would say that you had finished the game as I did it several times to make sure they was not another ending and there wasn't. Also when you finish a level it tells you your results, how many Bond Moves you have done and how many points you earned, etc and if you look at the last level select screen you should notice it will have your highest points. So yes you have finished the game�.Well Done!(

American/Pal Memory Card
Well I received my very first and only welcome mail form a guy called Andrew Cannizzo, from Austrailia and he thinks cube-europe is great and is the best place for News and everything Gamecube. I want to thank him for his e-mail and give him a big HELLO from me and the rest of the cube-europe team.

Now Andrew wants to know whether or not an American Memory Card will work on a PAL Gamecube. Well the answer is yes you can, but you must re-format the card to work on a PAL Gamecube. This means that if there was any game data saved on the card it will be lost.

There are a few e-mails I have not got round to at the moment , but I will answer them in the next post.

If you have any gaming problems, don't hesitate to mail me. Also if you have any comments or queries about this new feature, again mail me at the same address.

Until next time�..Good Luck and remember�.Perserverance is the key to success
