checked-no =>Computer Control: To take control of computer opponents, hold [START] and press [SELECT] before you roll the dice. The computer will ask "To whom am I speaking?" Choose the character who you wish to control and press A. When the character's control screen appears, move the cursor to Game Control and press A again, thus making the Computer Opponent into a human-controlled one. Do whatever you want. You can switch him back again when you wish to. =>Cheap Properties: This only works if you are the first or last player in the turn order. Choose to bid on instead of buying an unowned property. Enter a bid and hold U if you're first, or D if you are last. No other bids will be entered and you will get this property for your bid.
