Aside from the story, several characters are locked behind the Battle Mode (Mission Mode) challenges.
The Rules:

- Select Mission.
- Completing specific mission sets (often the higher-numbered missions) will trigger an unlock prompt.

Final Tip
No action replay or cheat device is needed — just play Arcade Mode with each character on the default difficulty. The game is generous: one Arcade run = one new character until the roster is full.
If you’re stuck on a specific character, let me know which one — I can give the exact unlock condition.
