at the hotel or pool menu to skip to the ending.
Ending sequence
---------------

Zack and the remains of his island.
Bonus music tracks
------------------
You can unlock two hidden music tracks in the game: "How Crazy Are
You" (by Meja) and "Is This Love" (by Bob Marley). To obtain them,
play through the game once. When you resume that saved game file,
these two hidden songs will be available in the Radio Station.
Extra items
-----------
Give a lot of gifts to one character and complete that game. Start a new
game on that saved game file and choose to play as the character that
received the gifts in the previous game. Those items will be available
in your inventory in the new game.
Easy money
----------
Note: This trick requires Dead Or Alive 3. Play Dead Or Alive 3 and select
a character that also appears in Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball in
survival mode. The more wins you have in survival mode, the more money you
will start with in Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
In a volleyball match, the less points the opposing team scores, the more
money you will end up getting.
Start the game with any character. The first game of volleyball is the easiest.
Make sure you choose "Yes" when Lisa offers to show you around the island. Play
the hopping game until you reach the first volleyball match. Play the match,
making sure you time your spikes and your blocks perfectly to add extra points.
Once you win, wait until the next day at the hotel. Choose "Leave Tomorrow" and
start the game again with the same character. Repeat the same steps to get 80,000
to 149,000 credits every time.
Winning a volleyball game 7 to 0 will earn you 150,000 credits.
To ensure you never miss, only use the underhand serve as it is guaranteed to
go in. This is a great way to earn money quickly, but requires a lot of effort
and a good partner.
Use the following trick to win money without winning points. Play as a character
that has over one star for her power. While playing volleyball in story mode,
have your partner set you up for a spike, wait until the ball is directly above
your head, then aim straight for an opponent (preferably the one that is the furthest
away). Hit it to the opponent, pressing Attack firmly. If you manage to make then
struggle, your partner will award you 1,000 points, and you can usually finish the
point off after this spike, or you can reset yourself to perform the spike as many
times as desired.
When you do not have a partner, play the hopping game or go to the casino.
Swimsuits in exhibition mode
----------------------------
Earn or buy swimsuits in story mode (Zack's Island). The swimsuits that you acquire
in that mode will also be available in exhibition mode.
See through swimsuit
--------------------
Play as a girl with the Gimlet (Helena), Emu (Leifang), Carnelian (Christie) or
another suit with a transparent part. Also wear a transparent visor. Go to the
pool and allow your girl to lay on the chair until the menu disappears.
Move the camera so that you are looking at the girl's body through the visor.
The swimsuit will not be visible through the visor, but the girl's skin will.
Small stars can be seen censoring her body. Each girl's stars appears different.
Disable commentary

Wait until you get the Raccoon suit from Zack.

Ayane: Get as a partner
-----------------------
Ayane can be a difficult to get as a partner because she is stubborn.
Buy anything purple (flowers, glasses, swimsuits, etc.). Ayane also loves
butterflies (as you can see in the Dead Or Alive 3 introduction sequence).
Do not buy origami, as Ayane will throw them away. If you play as her or
Kausmi and you receive them from someone and select "View", she will say "
This brings back bad memories". Also, if you are Kasumi, Ayane will not team
up with you (and vice versa). Kasumi and Ayane may be half sisters, but they
do not like each other. It would be a waste of money if you are playing as
either one and try to get the other as your partner. Another way to get Ayane
as a partner is to keep visiting her after you send her gifts, and after you
have defeated her in a volleyball match. It should take a few days, but Ayane
will become your partner.
Christie: Cat ears
------------------
There is no way to buy the cat ears for Christie at the accessory shop.
The only way to get them is to buy (or wait for Zack to send it to you)
the "Panther" one piece bikini. The swimsuit has a panther tail, and once
equipped to Christie, she will automatically wear cat ears.
Helena: Get as partner
----------------------
If you are having trouble getting Helena as a partner try these steps.
Always buy her white (clothes, shoes, glasses, flowers, etc.). You can
also buy her anything that has to do with the ocean, as she loves dolphins
(get her dolphin clocks, the silver dolphin, dolphin Sea World tickets, sea
shells ,etc.). If Helena is still refusing to be your partner, play against
her once then send another gift over to her and she should say "Yes".
Cheerleading suit
-----------------
Buy it in the store with Hitomi. There are different versions of it.
Cat ears
--------
There are two ways to get cat ears with Hitomi. You can either buy them at
the accessory shop or wait for Zack to send them to you. You will have to
play with Hitomi for at least two vacations before they appear in the shop
or Zack gives them.
Hitomi: Get as partner
----------------------
Though Hitomi's favorite color is "sky blue", there are not that many items of
that color. The next best thing is anything blue (flowers, swimsuits, volleyballs,
glasses, etc.). You can also get Hitomi other colors. Be careful of what you choose.
Visors, glasses, shoes, and some swimsuits are acceptable, but do not get her
different color flowers, nail polish, swimsuits etc. Hitomi should be yours
within two to three days if done correctly.
Kasumi: Army hat and gear
-------------------------
To get an army hat and two canteens with Kasumi, go to the sport shop.
It probably will not be there until after the first day. Look for the Salvia
swimsuit. It costs 330,000 credits. When you purchase the bikini, you will
not see the hat and canteens until you put it on Kasumi. The only way to get
the army hat and canteens is with Kasumi, and they will never be in the accessory
shop. Zack will never send you the Salvia swimsuit, as well as any other character,
since Kasumi is the only character that can get it. You can send the Salvia to
the other girls, but most of them will throw it away.
Kasumi: Get as partner
----------------------
Buy Kasumi everything pink (flowers, hats, stuffed bears, glasses, swimsuits, etc.).
You can also buy her swimming goggles. Within one or two days, Kasumi should be your
partner.
Leifang: Wearing almost nothing
-------------------------------
In order to see the most of Leifang's skin wait until after the fourth day for the
Oreial swimsuit. It barely covers her skin, but costs a lot of money.
Leifang: Panda costume
----------------------
Wait until Zack gives you the Panda suit. It has panda ears.
Leifang: Phoenix
----------------
If you wait long enough, Zack will give you the Phoenix.
Leifang: Get as partner
-----------------------
Lei Fang is easy to get as a partner because she is nice to everybody.
If you are having trouble getting her as a partner, buy her cute items
(stuffed bears, cushions, yellow butterflies, sunflowers, etc.).
Buy her anything yellow (fans, flowers, hats, sunglasses, etc.).
If you want to buy a swimsuit for her, the best kind are ones that have
the color yellow or those that have flowers or animals (in Hitomi's, there
is one that has a yellow sun flower on the front).
Lisa: Leopard ears
------------------
Allow Zack to get you the leopard suit.
Tina: Rabbit or cat ears
------------------------
There is no way to purchase cat or rabbit ears in the accessory shop with Tina,
and Zack will never give them to you as a gift. To get them, go to the Sport Shop
and buy the Arnob one piece swimsuit. Note: It is not cheap. When you play in a
volleyball (or hopping) game with Tina, she will be wearing rabbit ears.
Tina: Black Cat suit
--------------------
Wait for Zack to give you the Black Cat suit. It has cat ears.
Tina: Getting as partner
------------------------
Use the following trick to get Tina as your partner at the start of the game
instead of Lisa: Tina is probably one of the most difficult characters to get
as your partner besides Christie. Start the game as Lisa. Tina will now be in
the chair at the start of the game instead of Lisa. Note: Tina will give you
an expensive present every night (for example, swimsuits that only she can
get or rare accessories) as long as you send her a blue gift each night.
Keeping on good terms with your partner
---------------------------------------
Give your partner their favorite gift in color, type, hobby, or their nationality
(one or two gifts). When you wake up in the morning, check the music notes around
their head. If only one music note floats up, you are not doing well with your
partner. If it is two music notes, then their enthusiasm is pretty good. Three
music notes indicates that both of you are getting along very well.
Selecting a partner
-------------------
Choose your partners wisely. Try to partner up with girls that have a lot of power;
for example, Tina or Hitomi. Then, when you are receiving the ball during game play,
try to have them make the first hit upon return, in which case you set them up for
a spike using B. Very often, the other players, even if they are blocking, will be
knocked down by their enormous spikes.
Getting a partner easily
------------------------
Note: This trick may not work on Christie, Tina, or Ayane. Instead of buying gifts
for the partner you want, defeat them in a volleyball match. The better you try,
the better they will like you. If possible, try make the person you want make
mistakes a lot of times so that you have a better chance of getting her. You may
need to defeat some girls twice in order for her to like you.
Knowing when someone is ready to leave
--------------------------------------
One way of knowing when a character is ready to leave is to look at the music notes that
float above the their picture. Another way is by looking at the character's pictures as
they will change if they are confident, unsure, or unwilling.
Moving your partner
-------------------
If you do not like the position in which your partner is standing during a match,
you can move them by using the Right Analog-stick.
Managing your items
-------------------
While in any shop, choose the item that you are interested in. Press X and the girl
will tell you if she has seen that item before. This will help you determine if you
have the item in your inventory. Keep in mind that if you have given another girl
the item, she will say she has seen that item before. This hint would probably work
better for someone who is starting the game from the beginning. However, it is
useful when trying to fill your girl's inventory.
Soundtrack change
-----------------
You can change the music playing at anytime by pressing Black (advance to next track)
or White (repeat current track).
Force replay
------------
Hold L immediately after someone scores.
Lock view
---------
When viewing a "Gravure" movie or another camera-controlled angle, click the Right
Analog-stick to lock and unlock the desired angle.
Click the Left Analog-stick to lock the view controlled by it in its current position.
Zoom to a desired magnification then press X to lock it at that setting.
Good serve
----------
In order to receive 1000 points for each serve, make sure that your calibration is
adjusted so that it is about 30% (one third of the way from the left of the bar),
then press A firmly to throw the ball in the air. Press A firmly again just before
the player is about to make contact with the ball. This is very helpful during game
play, as you can still get some points even if you lose your match.
Scoring
-------
When your partner sets you up for a spike, there is an easier way to score. Hold Left
Analog-stick Left to make the ball fly closer to the net, so it is harder for the other
team to recover. If they try to block your spike, use the same method only use Tap and
they will almost never get it.
Toss wisely
-----------
While playing the a volleyball game, it is often useful to toss the ball to your
partner who may spike it and score a point. However, if you toss the ball to your
partner while she is back half way or more from the net, she may try and spike the
ball hard and hit the net, causing the other team to get a point.
Control ball during spike
-------------------------
Press Left during the spike to spike it short; Right to spike it deep; Up to spike it
high (to the top of the screen); or Down to spike it low (to the bottom of the screen).
You can do this in a combo (for example, press Down/Right to spike it low and deep.
Preventing cheap shots
----------------------
When you are playing a match, and the opposing team spikes the ball so hard that your
player receives the ball but hits the ground and the ball flies back over the net,
about 90% of the time the opposing team is going to spike that ball at where you are
laying. Use the Right Analog-stick to move your partner to the spot where you were
standing, so they can bounce it to you while you are getting up, or hit the ball
back over the net.
Finding an easy match
---------------------
When looking at the selectable courses, look at the profiles of the two characters
you are playing against. They seem to follow the same ones from Exhibition mode,
where if her head is turned slightly, it indicates that she is less willing to
play with the person she is paired with. This often leads to a lot of missed
volleys and spikes on their part, making for an easier match and a chance to win
more money.
Detecting bad emotions on the court
-----------------------------------
During the first few matches with a new teammate, she will compliment you on a good
serve or spike. The moment your partner stops giving you kudos, it is time to cheer
her up as best as possible. If it is someone you can do without, this is not that
important, but otherwise you will need to buy your friend something she will really
like to stay in good terms with her. If none of the shops have exactly what you want,
go to the Sports Shop and buy a moderately expensive swimsuit. That usually does the
trick and usually there is something that she really likes in the shops the next day.
Remember, when the two of you break up she will not accept any more gifts from you
until the vacation's over.
Easier survival mode
--------------------
Choose two characters that you are very good with. When you start, the first
character(s) are very easy to defeat. Once you get to about 7 or 8, it starts
to get difficult. Always pick up the little icons that drop from the CPU when
they lose, as this brings up your health slightly. When the CPU is on the ground,
quickly press Down + Black button as your second character (if playing in team
attack mode) to stomp on the CPU character. If successful, an icon will come out
of them. If you are low on health, pick it up. When the CPU keeps attacking, grab
their attack after the first hit. For example, when Zack keeps kicking you can
grab his kick after the first hit if you are fast enough. If the CPU keeps
switching characters, block and hit when you can get the chance then quickly
switch to your other character. Note: You can tell when they are going to keep
switching if you watch their health. Their first and second character should be
at the same amount of health. If one is higher than the other, the CPU will call
the character with the lower health back.
Hidden FMV sequence
-------------------
Go to the casino and play the slot machine "My Fair Lady" (Tina's slot machine).
Bet $300 every time when playing until you get three Tinas. You will then see a
short FMV sequence of a neon light showing Zack kissing Tina.
Give any girl the Venus swimsuit
--------------------------------
Play as Lisa and win about 1,500,000 credits playing volleyball. Buy the Venus
swimsuit then start a new game. Lavish the desired character with gifts. After
the character in question starts to give you a lot of gifts in the hotel, lay
the Venus swimsuit on her in the morning. Next, buy her a couple more gifts --
one that she will really like and one that she will dislike. Start a new game
with the character you gave the Venus swimsuit to, and it should be in their
inventory.
Play the game as Lisa and earn 1,000,000 credits. As you are earning the money,
start giving the person you desire gifts that she really likes. Wait until the
music notes start to move rapidly. Once you have enough to buy the Venus, wait
until evening to give her the swimsuit. She has to open it in front of you.
Give any girl a swimsuit
------------------------
If you want to give a girl an expensive suit, but she keeps throwing it away,
get on good terms with the girl. Keep trying to give her the suit. If you give
it to her three times and she throws it away each time, leave the island and
start a new game with that girl. Give a lot of gifts to the girl who has the
suit. She will eventually give it to you as a gift. This may take some time
and money, but it almost always works.
Increasing your swimsuit inventory
----------------------------------
Since any single character can only buy certain swim suits, it can become
somewhat tedious to obtain every outfit. In order to speed things up a little,
team up with someone you know has a costume you would want, or one that your
teammate does not have yet. Once you become better friends, anything you give
her as a gift, in this case a swimsuit, she will keep. The key is to make sure
she is at least somewhat happy with your performance on the court. After you
give your teammate an outfit, it is most likely you will get one as thanks
when you return to your room the next evening.
Food
----
If your character is not performing very well, take them to get some juice or
food to eat. Afterwards, do the pool hopping game to increase their response
and enthusiasm.
Keeping items fresh
-------------------
Certain items purchased from the Accessory Shop or Zack Of All Trades can spoil
or dry out if held too long. The best time to give gifts is back at the hotel
since you can give something to everyone without time passing. If you are going
to buy something that could go bad, such as a favorite food, it is best to buy
it during the evening before the last match of the day so it will not spoil until
the next morning. This is also useful when you need to put these things in the
collection, which can only be transferred from the items section at the hotel.
Hopping game views
------------------
While playing the hopping game, stop your girl on any float and watch her try to
keep her balance. She will not fall off. This gives you another option to watch
her with the two toggles and the R zoom. Use L and set the camera, click down on
the toggle to lock the view, then do the same with the right toggle. Press R to
zoom and L to change the camera angle.
Casino action
-------------
No not play for too long. It seems you will get on a losing streak if you play over
fifteen times in roulette, twenty five times in poker and blackjack, and thirty times
on the slots. However, some days are better than others. You can win the most money
in roulette
Winning at roulette
-------------------
Save about 1,000,000 credits. Then, go to the casino and set your chips to 10,000
credits. Play roulette and put all the chips you can on either the red or black panel
that has no numbers. The red or black panel is the row closest to you. You will have
a 50% chance of winning.
Videos
------
The more items you buy, the more videos Zack sends you. If you play forever and
never by anything, not a single video will be sent to you. Try to collect as many
items, swimsuits, etc. as possible. The Ninja Gaiden trailer is the eight movie
to come from Zack.
Amazing Games. Many Cheats. Such Wow.
