*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)

*****************
*Getting Started*
*****************
When you start the game there is an option of how many players will play, 1
or 2. (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!
