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. (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)

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, you get 20 seconds to answer questions, and the questions are easy.
MEDIUM- In the toss up challenges the computer is hard to beat, you get 15 
seconds to answer questions, and the questions get harder.
HARD- In the toss up challenges the computer is almost impossible to beat, 
you get 10 seconds to answer questions, and the questions are hard.
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. 
Here is how it is set up when you play the toss up challenges or the physical 
challenges.               |
                         S|P|E|E|D|||A|N|G|L|E
                                   |
The line you stop starts where the big line is in the middle.  To start it to 
move press left and it will move past the speed lines.  To stop it where you 
want to press right.  Then it will move past the ANGLE lines to stop it then 
press the A button.  I will tell you where to stop it to win in each of the 
toss up challenge strategies.
