Team whom are assigned to investigate the Tir na Nog case.
Press qm on the Directional pad or move the left/right

KELLY
Kelly's armament is lightweight which makes her more
mobile. Her power will improve after accomplishing mis-
sions on some stages or by ordering parts in the
POWER UP SHOP (p.16). Kelly is suited for beginning
to intermediate players.
SABUROUTA
Compared to Kelly, Saburouta is not as mobile, and a bit
tricky to control. Although he starts out with high firepower,
his overall power cannot be improved as much, and his
attacking range is narrow. Saburouta is for advanced
players.
