Burning Rangers is a futuristic firefighting game from Sonic Team for
the Sega Saturn. It's similar to the SNES game, The Ignition Factor, but
it's 3D and contains gameplay elements from NiGHTS and Sonic the Hedgehog
such as a grading system, crystals(similar to rings), a limit bar(sort of
like a time limit), and 2 characters to choose from. You play one of two
rookie firefighters fighting fire and rescuing people in 4 levels. The
first level takes 15 minutes to beat, but if you try finding everything,
it could take up to 30 minutes. Each level after the first gets
increasingly shorter, but they'll all take at least 10 minutes. Burning
Rangers has taken a lot of criticism for being so short, but people don't
seem to notice all the replay value it has. There's also a Voice
Navigation System that keeps you from getting lost(although it's wrong
sometimes). You even get mail from the people that you rescue(there's
108 victims and some of them send out more than one letter.) Once you
beat the game, a random generator is activated and it randomizes the level
you choose. Victims, gas tanks, crystals, backdrafts, rooms, doors,
switches, and enemies are ALL randomized in a preset way.
The grading system grades you in four areas: victims rescued, crystals,
boss time, and the fire limit. The grades start from D(lowest) to
S(highest). To get a total rank of an S, you need S's in all categories.
Rescued - the number of people you rescued.
Crystals - the number of crystals you beat the boss with including the
number of crystals used to save people.
Boss - the time it took you to beat the boss.
Limit - the limit percentage you end the level with.
After you beat the game, you are able to use the password feature. The
english manual is wrong when it says that the password at the end of each
mission is used to disable the random generator. It's actually the
password to the EXACT mission you just played. For example, if you get
the first mission with the front door blocked off and use the password at
the end of the level, you'll play that exact same mission again.
----------------------- - - - --------------------------
t i p s o n h o w t o g e t a n S r a n k
---------------- ------ - ------------------------- --
-remember that jumping will charge up your laser faster.
-memorize the level so that you'll be able to find all the crystals and
victims when the game's random mode kicks in.
-pay attention to the light sourcing as well as the sound to dodge fire.
-practice thrusting because you can do it infinitely. It's fast and
better than backflipping in certain situations.
-remember that you need 100% of the survivors.
-don't play this game after playing Dracula X
-remember that rescuing people also acts like a save spot and crystal
bank.

As the flames whip and intensify, the exhausted ten-year old Shou lets out
a desperate cry. A shimmering outline appears, extending a blood-soaked
glove to hurl the young boy to safety. Then- and in the countless
haunting dreams since then- Shou looks back to witness the phantasmic
Burning Ranger vaporize in a ball of flame... That was the day that
changed Shou's life, the day he recognized his destiny. Ten years later,
he too has earned the right to call himself a Burning Ranger, and maybe
someday he'll be able to repay his debt. <
Shou is one of the characters you can play in the beginning. He's an
egotistical rookie that Reed treats like a kid throughout the game. Even
though he's 21, his english voice actor sounds kinda Matthew Lawrence. He
also does this fruity thing with his fingers and says "Chill Out" one too
many times. For some reason he pronounces his name like "Shou I'm A
Barney"

the following was taken from the BR english manual >
After a blaze mercilessly snatched away the lives of her loving parents,
the young and bewildered Tillis was taken into government foster care.
The cold and impersonal environment spawned in her a desire to save
others from the pain of untimely loss. Strength of character, limitless
compassion, and extraordinary physical dexterity made her a perfect
candidate for the Burning Rangers- her new family. <
She's the other character you can play in this game, but she has the same
moves as Shou and the rest of the team. Her english voice actor is just
as high-pitched as her japanese voice actor. It doesn't really make sense
that her birthday is unknown and that she has no last name. Yes, she is
annoying.

Reed joined fire-fighting after graduating high school- more for the
experience than out of any real desire to help people. However, once he
got involved in the job of actually saving lives, he quickly gained a
healthy respect for the business... Reed has nurtured himself the
perfect temperament for the role of a Burning Ranger. He's a cool
intellectual who always thinks before he leaps, thanks to an intense
awareness of the value of every life. <
Reed is one of the two half decent voice actors in the game. He sounds
just like his japanese counterpart. Throughout the game, he'll bother
Shou about being a rookie. It's annoying because Shou keeps answering him
with his annoying voice. Reed has the coolest looking gun in the game,
the "ICEMAN". He's also a cat lover, but I hate cats and I wish they had
cancer. Lead Phoenix, yeah right.

Big is the eldest and most experienced of the Burning Rangers. His
enormous strength and incredible sensory perception have come to the
rescue of many hundreds who had lost all hope. Big was badly injured in
a terrible accident early in his career, but thanks to his iron will and
unbending sense of purpose, he now operates with a body rebuilt using
neuro-sil and carbo-limb implants. <
He also sounds almost like his japanese counterpart, but it isn't that
hard to sound like a big tough guy. No, he's not gay like Barret in FF7,
but he looks pretty stupid with his carbo-limbs. Big carries a big
bazooka.

Chris was only thirteen when her father- a first generation Burning
Ranger- perished while trying to rescue survivors of a chemical explosion.
Chris grew up with enormous pride in her pride in her father and his
ultimate sacrifice, yet she always felt that his work had been left
unfinished. Chris decided to continue her father's legacy, despite her
mother's tearful objections. Her razor-sharp judgment and ability to
remain calm in the searing heat of the moment were talents quickly
recognized as being perfectly suited to the job of Burning Rangers Team
Navigator. <
The american voice actor for Chris sucks. There's absolutely NO emphasis
or feeling put on any of her lines so everything she says sounds dumb.
For some reason almost half her navigation is wrong. If you didn't
notice already, she has crystal earrings! Groovy.

origin: Europe
At the age of 16, Iria was diagnosed with an incurable disease. Her
father decided to put her in hypersleep and send her into space.
Installed in the ship is a computer designed to "protect" her which
contains his conscienceness. The computer "evolved" and started collecting
pieces of debris and space. A signal from Earth was sent to tell the
computer that a cure had been found. The ship, which is now the size of
your mom, is returning to Earth, but there's a possibility that it'll
crash.
She's goofy lookin'.

[Best Control Scheme: Type C or D]
3D Control Pad is preferred. Although it's more sensitive, it's more
precise so jumping is easier.
------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ---
>>Basic Controls(the stuff they teach you in training)
D pad/Analog pad - guides character(you can only run)
A button - jump
B button - fires pulse
Hold B - laser blast(destroys all crystals)
(holding B in the air charges up faster)
C button - jump
Tap back - backflip(depends on where your character is facing and must be
pushed when you hear a whistling sound. ex: if you're facing right, press
left)
X/Z button - navigation
L trigger - moves camera left 90 degrees(Type C or D)
R trigger - moves camera right 90 degrees(Type C or D)
----------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Tap A/C twice - double jump
> you can get more distance on your jump if you're pushing forward and if
you're holding the button.
[ground]
Up + A/C - forward thrust
Down + A/C - backflip
Left + A/C - side roll
Right + A/C - side roll
> these moves are useful in dodging fireballs thrown by certain green
flames and for traveling faster because thrusting is faster than running.
[air(right after you press jump)]
Up + A/C - forward thrust
Down + A/C - back thrust
Left + A/C - left thrust
Right + A/C - right thrust
> these moves are useful if you're in a room full of fire. You can thrust
an infinite number of times, but they must be timed near the end of the
thrust.
[water]
A/C button - swim up
B button - swim down
> if you just sit there, you might float up a little. So if you're
getting sucked down into a tunnel, go to the corner of the tunnel and wait.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- --
It's recommended that you practice all the advanced moves to enjoy the
game more and to keep yourself alive. Plus, you'll look pretty damn cool.

NOTE: certain areas that weren't accessible before are opened up after you
beat the game. Remember, victim locations are random too. All you really
need to do is memorize the level and explore every place if you want to
find all the survivors.

According to the scraps of information that are coming through, there's
been a breach of the core reactor at the power plant. The central computer
has somehow taken complete control of the plant and its HST-series robots.
You've been sent in to run the gauntlet of blazing passageways, searing
generator rooms, and superflammable fuel cells in an attempt to shut down
the reactor before the whole place is blown to smithereens.
This level is huge! That's only if you try to look for all the survivors.
There's plenty of gas tanks lying around so be careful. It's easy to get
lost because most of the level looks the same in the 2nd section.
>>Possible Victim Locations<<
starting from the beginning of the level
-s e c t i o n 1-
1. in front of the first door you enter@
2. the upper level of the exploding room@
3. after you open the shutter, go through the door and go down the hole.
4. If you're attacked by a fireball, above you.
4. somewhere along the perimeter of the reactor@
5. in one of the rooms in the bottom level of the reactor
6. in the other room in the bottom level of the reactor
7. in the room in the middle level of the reactor
8. on the ground in the room in the top level of the reactor@
9. see hidden crystal #1@
10. on the ground in the room after that(2 green flames /w 5 gas tanks)@
12. on the ground in the room in front of that@
13. enter the door of the exploding room(the one with the switch) and take
a left. Fall into the hole, there should be someone.
14. Follow the tunnel and enter any room. This place might even be changed
to have a big fireball attacking you.
-s e c t i o n 2-
after you press the switch/restore power
1. get out of the room you're in and go to the top part. Then follow the
hall. When Chris says "turn left" enter the room nearby.@
2. keep following the tunnel until you hear Chris say "you're going the
wrong way", enter one of the two doors at the end of the tunnel.
3. go the correct path and you should see two paths(one to the left and
one in front). Go forward and hop over the hole with the big pipe.
4. enter the room to the left of victim 3
5. enter the room to the right of victim 3
6. go right of victim 3 and skip the room, there's a path to the right.
Fall down the hole.
7. jump out of the hole, I think there's another room nearby. STAY ALERT,
trust me.
8. go back to the hole with the big pipe(victim 3), fall down. Follow the
path and turn left. Enter the room.
9. Turn around and follow the tunnel. Go right and enter the room.
10. Go back to the upper level and turn right. Follow the path to an
intersection with 1 room. Enter the room(there's 3 green flames), fall
down, enter another room, at the intersection turn right.@
11 & 12. At the intersection go forward if they let you. Enter the room,
enter another room, then another, there should be 2 victims.
13. Go all the way back and jump back to the top level. Go past the reactor
and enter the room on the left. There should be one on the top part.@

Note: The crystals can be found easily by just going to every room.
Memorize the level. It's not hard. Really.
>>Hidden Crystals(Original Map)<<
1)Remember the part where the power shuts down in Section 1? Well, before
you start that part, turn around and follow the path and you'll see two
doors. Go to the bottom door.
There really aren't any crystals that are hidden well in this level. Just
check the entire level if you haven't already memorized it.
>>Boss Strategy: Anemoth<<
There's two ways of doing this:
1) Keep running right and left while shooting laser blasts. You have to
shoot them when he's almost facing you. You have to keep constantly
running so that means no STOPPING. Run in an oval. This method requires
practice. The boss timer starts when you enter the room so double jump
onto the platform to the right to get to the boss FAST.
2) The safer, but slightly slower way of beating it is when you climb up
to the top level, go to the blue light in the left corner. Just stay there
and start shooting. The yellow flames will not touch you.

An unexplained accident has occurred at an undersea marine research
laboratory. The Burning Rangers must access the research facilities and
rescue the trapped researchers. Watch out for the lab's Guardian-series
robots- it seems they've started to attack anything that moves. Soon
afterwards you will discover that there are also visitors trapped in the
park. Using your superior brain power, you figure out an idea to rescue
all 200+ visitors by destroying the joints connecting the research
laboratory to the park which probably wouldn't work in real life.
This level also takes forever to finish with an S rank. Usually there's
16 people to rescue, but it can go up to 18! The swimming sections of
this level are really boring, but there are some places where the entire
tunnel explodes towards you, kind of like the escape scene of Descent
which is cool.

shoot because it's faster and you can't shoot him close up. You also have
to learn how to jump from platform to platform.

A huge silent space colony drifts helplessly in the void. Inside, the
scene is not so peaceful. Flames are beginning to spread throughout the
vessel, fueled by the precious oxygen onboard. Your mission is to rescue
any survivors from an untimely death, and eliminate the cause of this
terrible incident.
This is the shortest level. The highest number of survivors I've
encountered were 8. At the end of the level, you'll have to rescue a boy,
but since you can't transport him, you have to carry him through an
exploding room on a thin pathway. In this level, you can find Yuji Naka
and Naoto Oshima if you're lucky.

4. There's a room with 2 green flames to the right of Gate B03.@
5-7. There's a room in that room with 4 switches. Use you ID card to use a
switch. Enter all the rooms you find and keep going back here to press more
buttons if you get more ID cards. One of the switches leads to victim 3 so
don't press it.@
8. Refer back to #3, but go right this time. There usually isn't anyone
there though.
-s e c t i o n 3-
1. Remember the two room full of crystals that you can get into if you have
two ID cards? The second one will have Ami Shibata if you're lucky.
2. Oh, you'll know if you'll find Yuji Naka. Remember that room with 5

>>Hidden Crystals(Original Map)<<
-s e c t i o n 1-
1. After you experience zero gravity, you'll be in a room with a door on
the left and right. Double jump and you'll find another area.
2. Double jump again on the left and right sides to find some green
crystals.
-s e c t i o n 2-
1. These aren't really hidden, but if you have 2 ID cards left, go to the
place with the little flying robots and press the switch in the first room.
>>Tips
*In the room with the switches, press the following 3 buttons:
+----------+
|x o|
|o o|
+-------you+
*When a wall collapses, thrust in the opposite direction, don't try running
because turning is too slow(unless you're running, if that's the case,
don't stop)
*In the part where you have to carry around the kid to the other side, just
remember to jump if you see the ground under you light up. No need to
press the jump button to hop over the small gaps. If you fall, just head
back towards the beginning and hop on the little box and start over.
>>Boss Strategy: Argoyle _G<<
Jump and shoot, jump and shoot. Stay a little to the right to dodge his
rocket punch.

You're stranded in a big floating piece of waste. The Burning Rangers are
unable to contact you so you'll have to be navigated throughout the level
by the voice of some skinny little girl. The level seems to be heading
towards Earth so you must destroy the central computer and save the girl.
You don't get a grade at the end, or do you? There's plenty of hidden
crystals...
[Par time: 10:00]
[S rank Par time: n/a]
>>Hidden Crystals(Original Map)<<
-s e c t i o n 1-
1. there's a small ledge to the left of you.
2. look around underwater because there's a room where you'll find with 7
crystals.
3. there's two little gaps in the 2nd room. One of them will explode.
after activating the switch and entering the door
4. there's a hole in the ground.
5. in the hallway to the right, go to the left path and jump to get them.
-s e c t i o n 2 (after beating the subgame)-
1. Jump up ON ALL the platforms then turn around, there's a room /w tons o'
crystals.
2. in the room in front on the broken bridge(beware of enemy).
3. If you're fast enough to kill the eye, your partner hopefully didn't
destroy the crystals behind you in the air.
>Tips
*In the room with the big fireball, just stand on the end of one of the
ledges and shoot lasers at it till it dies.
*In the swimming part, if you get lost, just follow the crystals.
*In the part where there's falling rocks, all you have to do is remember
the pattern, right, left, right. If you don't make it to the end by the
third rock, then you're doomed.
*At the area where you say "I don't even wanna think about falling off...",
once you master the controls, don't be afraid to jump onto those big
blocks of fire(get rid of the fire first.) It saves A LOT of time. My
record is 53.??s.
*To beat that big eye guarding Iria's hypersleep chamber fast, just stand
right in front of it and when it opens its eye, shoot it, then run away
like a monkey on fire. Be careful. Your teammate might shoot you for no
apparent reason aside from the fact that it's cool. Try to stay area from
the area that your teammate is shooting at because they are lots o'
drones flying about.
>>Boss Strategies<<
Boss 1: The Crystal
This is the easiest boss in the game. Stand in one place and keep shooting
laser blasts. Don't jump because for some reason, his bullets don't hurt
you. If you think you're falling off, just move forward a little.
Boss 2: Diamond Lasers(Best Time: 13"??)
Pretty simple. Just dodge the lasers with your side rolls. If they shoot
twice in the same spot or if you jump around a lot, that probably means
that they're gonna move around in a circle so jump. If you jump around a
lot, the lasers will probably start moving in a circle.
Boss 3: The Final Boss(Best Time: 1'34"??)
To actually hurt it, you have to destroy the two shields by his side and
then shoot him. When he drops meteors, just jump, double jump, and thrust
if needed. For the tornado, stay in the back and shoot at open spots(left,
right, left). Beware the 2nd tornado because it's fast. If he uses the
flame walls, find an open spot and shoot right after it passes you.

I don't know why,

I was here before

gone too far away
only in life in my dreams
In my dreams
I have seen by myself
I wandered through the stars
But it's not anymore
I SSMMMMMIIIIILLLLLEEEEEE

every day every night
for the warm smiles they give me
Love of people holding me
AAAANNNNNDDDD IIIIIIIII
don't feel lonely again
they are always with me...
for the warm smiles they give me
love of people holding me
in their arms....
Sooound
of the rain falling down
fills my heart with joy
the sounds I heard in dreams
scent of the wind all around
whispers of the trees
hold me, I fall asleep(no this is not a typo)
It's the rain
It's the wind
people hear
have been loving for all time feeling

Love of people holding me

"ANGELS WITH BURNING HEARTS"
Words by Tomoko Sasaki & Naofumi Hataya
Music & Arrangement by Naofumi Hataya
Vocal Performance by Dennis St. James(I think)
Though fast we deliver to the future land
Throw the growing world up tomorrow in strife
Passing through the matrix of data
Driving you into cyber-dive
Even when you're lost in darkness
You must believe in tomorrow, it will come
Just like Angels with Burning Hearts
We'll face the risk of our lives...
Starting now I cheer to embrace the magic;
Visions displayed on the monitors
Can you see the moon and the stars and the sun?
Could they be in our imagination?
Starting now I cheer to embrace the magic
Starting an adventure for our future
We are all hoping for
Setting out to lead us to the new universe!
BURNING RANGERS! To the brand new sky we dive
BURNING RANGERS! Wings we have of shining white
BURNING RANGERS! Aquamarine-colored sky
Fly high with grace and pride
BURNING RANGERS! We're gonna make it right
BURNING RANGERS! True of people we're powered by(I think this is wrong)
BURNING RANGERS! Running at the speed of light
Just do it! Just Burning Rangers...
Don't you feel like you've just lost your way?
We're always watching over you
Seems I kept it a secret place
Cradles rockin' with love!!!(ewww)
Sometimes a piece of our dreams have fallen off
Together we can make everything right
Just like Angels with Burning Hearts
We'll face the risk of our lives...
Starting now I cheer to embrace the magic
Melody from the distance -- can you hear it?
Like the song of an angel with a tear in her eye
With an affection for her guardian
Starting now I cheer to embrace the magic
Starting an adventure for our future
We are all hoping for
Setting out to lead us to the new universe!
BURNING RANGERS! Shining through the starry night
BURNING RANGERS! We'll always stay by your side
BURNING RANGERS! Nights under a soft cool light
Fly high with grace and pride
BURNING RANGERS! We're gonna make it right
BURNING RANGERS! Toward this dream of ours we must try
BURNING RANGERS! Keep this hope of ours alive...
Just do it! Just Burning Rangers....
BURNING RANGERS! To the brand new sky we dive
BURNING RANGERS! Wings we have of shining white

BURNING RANGERS! True of people we're powered by
BURNING RANGERS! Running at the speed of light
Just do it! Just Burning Rangers...

If you manage to rescue any of the Sonic Team in the game, they usually
give you passwords, pictures, and some information. Remember, you are
usually able to rescue them more than once to get more mail.
Play Round 3 twice and you'll get a letter from that kid. He gives you the
subgame which is like the Sonic tunnel except you can shoot missiles.
Navigation Sound Test: NAVIXXTEST
FMV Test: MOVIETEST?(insert a letter A-I to choose the movie)
A - Intro
B - Mission 1 Debrief
C - Mission 2 Debrief
D - Shou Mission 3 End
E - Tillis Mission 3 End
F - Shou's Ending
G - Tillis's Ending
H - Shou & Iria Conversation
I - Tillis & Iria Conversation
Note: There are no differences between characters besides their looks.
There won't be any audio cues, but music will be playing. When you beat
the level, it's GAME OVER, no grade so basically there's no point in using
the passwords below or is there?
This section contains some stupid tricks that you can do in this game.
1) At the title screen, press A to make the words spin.
2) To surf fire, jump directly on top of the fire to make it look like
you're surfing. Beware, usually you have a limited time to stay on top of
it.
3) Press the Navi button after you get hit by fire to say that you're OK.
4) If you didn't already read the controls section of the FAQ, jumping will
make your laser charge up twice as fast.
5) Pressing the Navi button in the 2nd Boss stage will make Iria give you
stupid advice.
6) When you choose Story Mode while it's loading, press A or C repeatedly
and rapidly. Tillis's character select picture should be discolored or the
pictures will disappear.
7) Remember the dolphin in Round 2? Well, if you try hugging the front part
of the water tank, the dolphin will run away and start staring at a tunnel
nearby and if you go to him when he's staring, he'll just go back to his
normal routine. Hm.....
8) Tired of doing the training when you start a new game? All you have to
do is start the training, and then reset or turn off the system. When you
begin your game again, you'll start on the first mission.
9) Having trouble hanging on to ledges and air ducts? All you have to do is
jump to where you want to hang on and then just don't press anything.
You'll automatically grab on. Hey, it's better than holding forward.
10) Rescue ALL 108 victims and you'll get a special message from Iria when
you access the Rescue List.
11) Hold X+Y+Z while the game is paused to get rid of the word "pause".

The subgame is very similar to the Sonic 2 bonus level where you have to
collect rings, avoid stuff, and hit zippers. In Burning Rangers, you must
shoot debris, dodge huge walls, collect crystals, and hit speed jumpers.
Too bad there's only one level because it's pretty fun.
USE THE ANALOG PAD! The digital pad is too slow.
>>Personal Record: 2715300<<
>>Fastest Time: 1'00"15<<
To get this score, just do the following(it's hard to understand, but
you'll get the idea):
Right when the tunnel opens, fire your missiles. Follow the trail of
crystals and press up to dodge the wall and then press down to get more
crystals. Immediately go right to hit the speed jumper and go left a bit.
You'll see a lot of walls so go in BETWEEN the half hexagon and corner
wall. Right when you think it's safe, press left immediately and stay down.
When you pass through the wall press up IMMEDIATELY. Go right a little and
hit the jumper and grab the closest crystal while dodging that little
hard-to-see piece of debris. Go a little to the right and hit the next
jumper and stay on your path while grabbing the trail of crystals. When it
ends, dodge the big wall and go left so that you can go inbetween the two
walls that lead to another jumper . Hit that and go right a little to hit
another jumper. Start shooting like crazy and prepare to go left to hit
another jumper. Then you could either do:
1) Follow the trail of crystals and keep shooting the fire, if you're
lucky, you won't be slowed down.
2) Press up and go to the right to dodge the fire.(recommended)
Go right to follow the crystals which will automatically lead you to an
other jumper. Go left just a bit and enter the tunnel from the lower-left
quarter. Hit the jumper and keep going right to hit the next jumper or you
could just sit there and get 7 crystals instead. If you went to the right
go back to the left and get the crystals. Press up to dodge the wall and
go back down to get more crystals. Hit the next jumper you see and stay
down until you see something that will hit you. Press up, then down and
grab the crystals. This part is a little hard to explain, but when you see
the last crystal, time your left turn so that you'll slip in between the
walls.
I know it's confusing when you first read it, but you'll have to memorize
the level. Remember, speed is more important than crystals.
