more work a player does on the field, the more guts they lose. Thus, guts can be thought of as a measure of energy a player has. Special abilities will take a huge amount of guts from the player, rendering him useless after they perform one or two. When the player is very low on guts, all he is able to do is pass to another player with more guts, or keep running with the ball. After every half-time, some of the player's guts are replenished. However, the guts for a player do not regenerate when not controlling the player, unlike the Captain Tsubasa games. In a somewhat humorous gesture, commentary is provided by an orange parrot wearing a suit, who is heavily biased towards the player's team. He cries if the team loses, but celebrates when the team is victorious. Game modes The game consists of two modes, Kick Off and All Stars, as well as having a Password option. Kick Off is the main mode of gameplay, following the game's storyline. After winning each match, a 30-letter password is given to the player so he can continue his progress at a later time should he wish to stop. If a match is lost, the player has to repeat it as many times as it takes to win, thus there is no "game over". This does not apply to the second match in this mode, Dreams vs. Hams, which is next to almost impossible to win (there are those which have accomplished this feat to disappointing results—the game continues on as normal ). To win this match the player should use "Passive Dribble" tactic (Robert, or David can stay, and dribble without moves) and wait for p.k. where Rudolf can miss the ball. If the player loses in this match, the game simply loads the next match. Also, the guts system does not seem to apply to opponents in this mode—they can use their special abilities over and over again. In All Stars mode, the player gets to create a custom team called the Dragons. The player first chooses the half-time length, and then proceeds to choose from the thirty playable characters. The player can then use this team to play against another human player, or against the CPU, the opposing team being called the Tigers in both cases. When playing against a human player in this mode, the
