Reader Mail By Chip and Jonathan Carter Tribune Media Services Back to the mailbag! HEY CHIP & JONATHAN : I just got NFL Blitz 2000 for N64, but you know me � never satisfied. Got any codes yet? � Poppy Bernfield, Ithaca, N.Y. DEAR POPPY : We're ready for you. These should work on any version of Blitz, be it N64, PlayStation or DreamCast. The numbers refer to how many times you click a button in the corresponding window while you're waiting for the game to start (you know, where the three icons appear at the bottom of the screen): 3-2-1 left � headless players 3-4-4 up � no interceptions 5-5-5 up � two player hyper blitz 2-2-2 left � always QB on multiplayer 1-1-1 down � tournament mode with no computer help 3-2-1 down � no hits on target receiver 1-2-3 left � maximum field goal distance 2-0-0 right � big heads HEY CHIP & JONATHAN : How can I get Donkey Kong in Mario Golf (N64)? I know he's supposed to be in there, but I can't find him. � Cindy Eliazor, Santa Rosa, Calif. DEAR CINDY : To get Donkey Kong as a playable character, you have to get 30 stars in the Ring Mode � that is, shoot the ball through the rings and make par or better 30 times. And here are some other tips for this great golf game. To get the Mario Star course, you have to get a total of 2,200 points. To play as Maple, score 50 birdie badges in Tournament mode. To unlock the Metal Mario character, get all 108 birdie badges in Tournament mode. To get Bowser, finish the "Get Character" mode, then play again as Mario. You'll take on Bowser � win and he becomes a playable character.  HEY CHIP & JONATHAN : I heard a rumor that you can play as Parappa the Rappa in Um Jammer Lammy (PlayStation). What's the scoop? � Susan Nickerson, Houston, Texas DEAR SUSAN : Our preferred scoop is one-half chocolate chip cookie dough, one-half chocolate almond. But for your purposes, that won't work. In fact, Parappa does indeed appear in this most awesome of PlayStation games ... and there are some other tricks as well: � Complete any two stages in the normal game and you can access the two-player co-op game. � Finish the one-player game and you can play as Parappa. � Beat the two-player coop game and you can play a competitive mode. � Beat the one-player mode as Parappa and you can play two-player as Lammy and Parappa. � Beat the two-player Lammy/Parappa and you can play a two-player Lammy vs. Parappa mode.
