Completion and secrets: GameCube rewards and bonus modes
Choose a second-run goal and follow unlock requirements for the original release.
Original 2005 Nintendo GameCube release. Separate Ways and later-port extras are distinguished from GameCube content; the 2023 remake uses different systems.
Preserve the clear and choose a goal
Finishing the main campaign opens replay choices and bonus content. Save the completed data, then use it when starting another round if you want to retain the equipment and money associated with that run. Pick a focused next goal: a more efficient route, Professional difficulty, a favourite fully upgraded weapon, or an extra mode. The original GameCube release does not use the remake's accessory and S+ ranking reward structure.
Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries

Assignment Ada is a short bonus mission with a fixed starting loadout. On GameCube, completing it unlocks the Chicago Typewriter for purchase in a main-game replay. The Mercenaries is a timed score challenge with multiple characters and stages. Learn a stage's timer pickups and useful movement loop before trying to keep long chains of kills. The Handcannon requires a five-star result on every stage with every character, so track progress by both character and stage.
Keep later additions out of the checklist
The GameCube game includes Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries, but Separate Ways arrived with the PlayStation 2 version and continued into later ports. The P.R.L. 412 and second costume set likewise should not be treated as missing GameCube rewards. Regional versions can differ in available modes, so check your actual edition before planning a complete collection. If a guide discusses knife repairs, parries, charms, or the Chicago Sweeper, it is describing the 2023 remake.
Make a small Mercenaries matrix with a row per character and a column per stage; mark five-star clears as you earn them.
