How to Unlock the Secret Mission, Rivals!

In the GBA original, you can unlock the secret mission by choosing Andy as CO in the Final Battle. In Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, things work a bit differently when it comes to unlocks.

In order to unlock Rivals in Re-Boot Camp, you have to beat all the missions in the Advance Wars 1 campaign. Sounds easy, right? Well, it’s a bit more complicated than just getting to the end.

You have to also complete all the alternate missions you missed your first go around. Thankfully, once you complete the Final Battle, these previous invisible icons will re-appear on your map, allowing you to now complete the alternate missions without playing the entire campaign over.

After completing every alternate and main mission in Advance Wars 1, you will be able to play Rivals!
