Extra mode
Successfully complete and save the game in campaign mode with both the Federation and Zeon. Select campaign mode again, and an "Extra" option will appear. In this mode, all Mobile Suits from both sides will be available in more difficult missions.
Good fighting Suits
Some of the best Suits for arcade and versus mode are the Zaku II and the two GMs. All three of these suits have about 400 armor health points, very good weapons at their disposal, and are quite fast and good all around. Most people dismiss them as simple walking targets but they can pack a punch with some practice.
Hijack Mobile Suits
To hijack or steal a Mobile Suit in the story mode, you must end a mission with an enemy Mobile Suit still alive but with some damage. Chances are that if it is the only Suit besides you and your ally, you will see a message similar to "You have received a stolen GM". You can use it for ground combat." To get the hijacked Suits for arcade and the versus mode, kill one in arcade mode and survive the battle in which you killed it. When you open the versus mode or arcade mode, it will be there, ready for duty.

The Titans and the air and spacecraft
To unlock jets, submarines, spacecraft , and Titan class mobile armors, locate one in versus mode, weaken it, and deliver the final blow yourself. If an ally does the final shot, you will not unlock it. Once you kill it and save, it will be available for use in versus mode. An example is the G Fighter. Mobile Suits can jump on and ride it while the other player steers. Press R2 to cut thrusters and sit there. Another example is the Byg Zam. It is a two legged ball with a lot of particle cannons and a shield that makes it invincible to beam weapons.
