Meet Mr. Yukawa:
----------------
It is a possible to meet very famous (in Japan at least) senior executive 
officer of SEGA Yukawa-san in Shenmue as a hidden event.
To see him you must get the 'happi' and 'suit' figures of him at Abe Store 
in Sakuragaoka's raffle . The best way to get to see him is if you have only 
one of eatch statue. It is reccomend you save as soon as you get one, and 
then keep trying to be sure you don't get the same one twice.
When you have them go to Takara Sushi on the 9th of any month after 8pm. 
He will be sitting in the bar eating. In the Japanese version of the game, 
Ryo used to talk to him, afterwards he would run away. If you want to see 
him again go outside and back in again. You can do this as many time as you 
like between 8 and 9. On the international versions, Mr. Yukawa is not 
interactable.
Mr. Yukawa was the main subject of the Japanese playable demo: "What's Shenmue".


Scarlatto Song:
---------------
On Disc 3, You have to play a Mini-Game where Ryo Hazuki use a motorcycle to 
save Nozomi. The song featured in this Mini-Game is a keyboard version of 
"Scarlatto", one of the main songs of the game "Ferrari F355 Challenge".


70 Person Battle:
-----------------
After you complete the game, wait for the credits to end and save your game 
file. At the start menu again, go to Options and you can access 70 Person 
Battle.


Actual 1986 Yokosuka weather:
-----------------------------
Complete the game and wait until the credits end, then save your game. On 
the start menu, go to Options. Go to Settings, then the new Magic Weather option.


Infinite Work Days/Yen:
-----------------------
On the third day of work when you take crates to warehouse #3, you're supposed 
to go check out warehouse #17 after work. Well, if you never check out the 
warehouse, you will keep on repeating the same work day until you do to advance 
in the story. This trick is good for getting lots of yen.


Inverted Space Harrier Controls:
--------------------------------
While playing Space Harrier, hold A, X, and Y at the title screen of the game. 
The message ''Up input is down'' should appear. Now you can press start to play 
with inverted controls.


Listen to cassettes without using batteries:
--------------------------------------------
Go to Tom's Hotdog van in either Dobuita or the Harbour and look at the cassette 
player. You will then be able to play your music collection without using batteries.


Infinite Days At Work:
----------------------
You can get infinite days at work if you want. This is useful to build up money, 
however the maximum wage you get for delivering a crate only goes up to 600 Yen. 
What you do is simply miss an important event that occurs after work. For example, 
simply do not show up in front of the Harbour Lounge when you have to go there 
to get a cut scene with Shozo Mizuki, or do not show up at the central pier when 
Gui Zhang is meant to meet you there to teach you a move.

 
Getting The Bad Ending:
-----------------------
There is an alternate ending to Shenmue, commonly called the “bad ending”. To 
get it, simply last through to 15th April 1987. A simple way to get it by yourself 
is on the sneaking into the Old Warehouse District part on disc 2. When you try 
and sneak in, there is a one button QTE where you have to catch a flashlight. 
Simply fail this QTE and a day progresses, so simply put the controller down, 
stroll away, and by the time you have come back to the Dreamcast, it should have 
progressed a fair few days. It will ask you to save before you see the bad ending. 
Then enjoy.


Infinite Winning Cans:
----------------------
To get infinite winning cans, simply collect some in the game, then save your game 
in the bedroom. Then save a resume file. You can then load the resume file on your 
passport disc and use the winning cans to get “Shenmue Characters”. Then load your 
game again, and save a new resume file. Repeat the trick.

 
Winning At The Slot Machines:
-----------------------------
The slot machines may offer top quality prizes for getting 777 but they are extremely 
hard to get. So, here’s a tip to make you win more easily. Simply go to the Lapis 
Fortune Teller, and ask for her to tell you the “gamble”. It will cost you 300 Yen, 
but it gives you the lucky slot machine number for that day. So, simply play on that 
machine to win easier on that day.


The J-Pop Motorcycle Song:
--------------------------
On the passport disc, go to the Dreamcast’s main menu and enter the “Music” icon, 
track 5 is a proper CD audio track of the J-Pop song “Wish…” played during the 
Nozomi motorcycle scene at the end of the game. You can listed to it on your normal 
CD player, although, heed the warning that track 2 gives, the game tracks can damage
your speakers.
