A thousand monkeys working at a thousand computers, all sorting Detstar's e-mail (and some of them possibly surfing for monkey porn)... At least that's how the future will be, anyway. It'll also open up a world where janitors no longer clean the floors, but have to clean the walls and ceilings as well...

The monkeys themselves can only sort mail, and can't actually send replies themselves... Always typing random gibberish, telling players that eating more bananas will help to complete a difficult level, or pulling their ears and scream-dancing frantically for attention.

Luckily, we still have a human to reply to messages - Although he's a cynical webmaster who should probably be wearing a straight jacket in a room with padded walls... But hell, they'll never take me alive.


In Goldeneye's Multiplayer, how come all the tables crates and computers and the kitchen from the bunker are taken out?

Lots of little things like furniture and other items in the one player mode are just for background detail. But in Multiplayer, the game needs as much memory as possible. In order to speed up the framerate and save memory, detail objects are often removed when playing Multiplayer.


Hello, you're doing a very good job with this interesting Super Smash Bros Melee site. I like the mix of facts, fun and so on. I want to know how to K.O. a Paratroopa, a friend of mine has the game and has already tried the Bob-Omb, the Homerun Bat and I think also the hammer, but every time the Paratroopa only loses his wings and that isn“t a K.O. Can you tell me which item or move to use in order to K.O. a Paratroopa?

Knock the Paratroopa's wings off to start, and follow him to the ground. Once you've taken away his flight, just grab him with 'Z' and toss him aside. Only throwing him seems to count as a KO, even though your kicks and punches will destroy him.


Hi there. You know, I've read EVERYTHING regarding both Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. But one question still lurks. What are the websites from Perfect Dark for? I mean carringtoninstitute.com and datadyne.com. They can´t be accessed, and some time ago I was redirected to the Nintendo main page. Can you explain me their purpose, and how to access them?

Those two websites were created by Nintendo for marketing purposes. It was the hope of the Perfect Dark team to include a username and password inside the game, that way players could go online and log into the website to find out more information... But this feature was never implemented, for unknown reasons...

There was indeed a username and password earned by reaching the 'Perfect' rank in PD's Combat Simulator... But it didn't work on either website. In fact, that infamous username and password was actually useless. Two completely separate usernames and passwords did work though... With these logins, you were able to venture further into the websites, and find data about recovered Skedar bodies, and files about members of the Carrington Institute. It wasn't incredibly useful, but it was definitely an interesting supplement for PD fans.

But now with Microsoft buying the shares of Rareware, it appears as if Nintendo has replaced the Carrington Institute and dataDyne websites with redirects to their own homepage. I guess they just don't want to be bothered with these websites anymore.


In Super Smash Bros Melee, I heard there were characters named 'Koopa' or 'Purin'... Are they in the game?

There certainly are, but probably not what you're expecting... Koopa and Purin are just the Japanese names for Bowser and Jigglypuff. If you go into the game's options menu and change the language to Japanese, Bowser and Jigglypuff will become Koopa and Purin.


I was reading the information about the Dam's island on the Goldeneye website... What is "no clipping" what does it do and is there a button code for it? Also is their ANY way to get to the island in dam without Gameshark/action replay?

No, there aren't any button codes to let you reach the Dam's secret island. A trip to the island wasn't even supposed to occur in the final game, actually... You need game enhancers (Gameshark/Action Replay) to change the way the game actually thinks - With the No Clipping code on, you're able to leave the boundaries of a level. In the case of the Dam mission, you can pass through the invisible barrier on the docks, and float across the water and check out the distant island.


Hey... I just wanted to say you have a great website and Super Smash Bros Melee is a great game. Your website has like everything you need to know about the game. Keep up the work with the great web page.
Kirby dance: <(*_*)> <(*_*<) (>*_*)> (>*_*<) <(*_*)<
Sorry couldn't resist ......(Yes I know I'm strange)


There's tons of stuff to do in Melee, so the website is a good reference tool for players...
Kirby might be a well rounded individual, but bad things happen when he does that little dance of his...


Dear DetErest,
I must say that your site is supreme not only in terms of its Goldeneye content, but with its other coverage, as well. As an educated individual, it pleases me to come to a website where my intellectual curiosity both as a human being and as a Goldeneye fan are constantly stimulated. You probably don't need me to tell you this, but your Beta coverage is... well, perfect. No matter how many times I've searched the net for comparable information, I have always been lead back here because, in the end, this is the only website that matters as far as Beta information is concerned. And the other Goldeneye content? If I valued this website as a whole at $1 Googlion, I still would be undervaluing it (you may not agree with this, but I assure you it is true). Truly, you are the Jesus of the Goldeneye world, and I use that comparison with complete and total understanding.
I personally make it an effort to devote 2.5 hours of my time at work to examine your website (which is a better use of my brain, make no mistake about it). You are #1 in the minds of any person with a brain, and you will one day depose those other void sites and claim your throne as God of the gaming site world. Until then, my organization and I will continue to support you and your endeavors in any way we can. Please continue doing such a great job. You, indeed, kick some serious fucking ass!

Of all the stuff featured on the Goldeneye website, the "beta" content is probably the most interesting material hardcore Goldeneye fans. I really enjoyed compiling all that information, adding more info as new things were discovered.
An incredible amount of time and effort went into the Goldeneye site, and visitors always comment on how much time they've spent browsing.
It's good to hear that you're enjoying the Goldeneye experience at work, instead of filing boring reports and such...


Just wanted to submit a comment on your F-Zero GX site, which I thought was very entertaining and ambitious! Really fun to see projects like the maximum speed and to see some different machines. I am personally in love with the game at this moment and its fun to see a site which seems to enjoy it as much as I am!

Thanks. I was hoping that players would enjoy checking out that jump ramp experiment. I'm partway through another speed project, which will be posted in a future update. F-Zero GX sure is an awesome game, and there's tons of fun to be had with it. Keep on racing!


About your Goldeneye 007 video clip, It's clear that you haven't actually done facility in 1:43 - you've just > taken large chunks of frames out of the video - it's very jerky. And the > fact that you don't show the finishing screen at the end (where the game > tells you how long you took and your accuracy etc). > > so a big :p to you sir.

The Goldeneye website was created to show players all sorts of hidden secrets and extras found inside the game. The site also gives tips on how to beat missions, as well as other strategies. In this case, it's a recorded strategy of completing the Facility level fast enough to earn the Invincible cheat - And I assure you that the video clip is authentic.

When making the video, I recorded at the lowest possible quality to make the file smaller, making it easier to download. This of course results in a very rough and choppy video clip, with a low frame rate. The purpose of the video wasn't to make it pretty though - It's just to show one of the best and methods for beating the Facility quickly.

I watched the file on my computer, and it does show the finishing screen with the final time. Because of the low quality, it is hard to actually read the finishing time. But if you look closely, you can just barely see the completion time. It is indeed 1:43, although the '3' is rather hard to read.


What is the best character and kart combo to use in Mario Kart Double Dash?

The best combination really depends on what you're looking for...
I chose the lightweight Koopas for the big GP races because of their acceleration and special item (triple shells). And now that I've unlocked King Boo, I use him because of his random special item. I also choose Boo's Kart, because it has good acceleration for a heavy kart.
But try different characters, and see who fits your playing style. Lots of choices, plenty of creative combinations.


Hello. I was just wondering if you had any additional tips for Super Smash Bros Melee on how to clear event Match #29 [Triforce Gathering] that aren't mentioned in your great site. I really need some help with it. I cleared the match, but when I went to face Ganon I lost. I want to unlock him really bad. Do you have any tips on beating him? I would highly appreciate it. Thanks. P.S. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for the awesome site. It helped me alot.

Link is one of my favorite characters, so I always do well with him.

One trick I use regardless of where I'm playing or who I'm playing against, is the constant boomerang... I'm always hitting my opponents with it, and then immediately rushing in for a good hit, whether it's a spin attack, an aerial down+A sword plant, or a charged up forward smash where link takes two slashes of his sword. Hitting an enemy with the boomerang or bow and arrow doesn't do much damage, but it just opens up an opportunity to jump in there with a more powerful attack (or even two or three powerful attacks).

Also in the Hyrule Temple, try not to get lured down to the bottom level. It's can be tough to KO someone down there, so you could have Ganondorf with an insane amount of damage, but not be able to finish him off. Try and keep your battle to the top level, and keep smashing Ganondorf to either the left or right edge of the arena.


Hi. I want to know if there will be a new James Bond game from Rareware, because of what it says at the end of the Goldeneye 007: ("James Bond will return").

That bit about "James Bond will return" is just a standard ending scene thing for 007... That same line is featured at the end of many Bond movies.

Goldeneye 007 also tells us that Bond will return, but it's a bit of a technicality... Bond has since been back in action in 3 movies, and 3 games by Electronic Arts... But the text at the end of the game doesn't actually say that "James Bond will return in a video game by Rareware"... So, they got us with that one.


In Super Smash Bros Melee, if you turn the Samus without helmet trophy around, does it show her face?

With this special trophy you can catch a rare glimpse at Samus without her mask. This trophy can't be "earned" in North America though... It can only be accessed with an Action Replay codes.
