Credits ******* *Intro* ******* I wrote this mainly cause I was bored, but the second reason would have to be that the NES is great, (not necessarily Double Dare, but oh well). If you are reading this, then you are playing a semi-cool game show game by Rare/Gametek and maybe you want some help. Or maybe you are just reading this because you are bored like I am. Whatever. This FAQ can be found at GameFAQs.com, and Gameadvice.com. ****************** *Revision History* ****************** Version 0.1- Started this FAQ and everything is new. Submitted to GameFAQs.com. (October 7,2000) Version 0.2- Added a bunch of easy round answers, added where this can be found. (October 17,2000) Version 0.3- Added a LOT more answers for easy round don't see an end coming either, fixed small errors. (November 14,2000) Version 0.4- Not much, but I fixed a few things and reworded things and changed the art thing at the top a little bit. (June 29, 2001) Version 0.5- Finally a decent sized update. I sort of reformatted the FAQ a bit. I think it looks a lot better. Fixed the Copyright and Such section a little bit. Fixed some mistakes. Moved some crap around in "Answers in the Easy Round". All that and 6 new questions and answers added. Wow! (August 11, 2001) Version 0.6- Added 12 new questions and answers to "Answers in the Easy Round". Started the section "Physical Challenges" with all the game descriptions. (August 14, 2001) Version 0.7- Added 8 new questions and answers to "Answers in the Easy Round". Started the sections "Answers in the Medium Round" and "Answers in the Hard Round". Added 3 questions and answers to "Answers in the Medium Round" and 3 to "AitHR". (August 15, 2001) Version 0.8- Made a discovery. I believe that all the questions are just random, and appear in all rounds. So in light of all this, I changed "AitER", "AitMR", and "AitHR" to just "Answers to the Questions". Added 30 new questions and answers to that "new" section. (August 17, 2001) Version 0.9- Added 15 answers to "AttQ". (September 26, 2001) ******************** *Copyright and Such* ******************** This FAQ is copyrighted by Hansolo4419.

(If you choose 1 then you will play against the computer, and if you choose 2 then you will play against someone but you cannot be on the same team). Then the option of skill level will come up 1-easy, 2-medium, and 3-hard. There are many differences between skill levels. EASY- In the toss up challenges the computer opponents are fairly easy to beat and you get 20 seconds to answer questions. MEDIUM- In the toss up challenges the computer is hard to beat and you get 15 seconds to answer questions. HARD- In the toss up challenges the computer is almost impossible to beat and you get 10 seconds to answer questions. Then you can enter a team name, you can have up to 9 characters, letters, numbers, spaces, and periods. Then you get to pick a character out of 8 characters, when you pick some one your teammate will automatically be of the opposite sex. Get ready to play Double Dare! ******************** *Toss Up Challenges* ******************** Toss Up challenges are when your team battles the other team to win control of the questions, which is very important, well somewhat important anyways.
