Car Battler Joe FAQ/Walkthrough

I. Intro

Car Battler Joe is an entertaining RPG by Natsume for the Gameboy Advance. Like the old PC game Autoduel, it features a person engaging in battle on the roadways of the future. It also has a collectibility thing going on, as you try to get all the different car parts in the game. Sort of like Pokemon if Mad Max was the trainer. :)

The cast of characters:
