After a few people had emailed me, I've decided to do it. Thanks to these gamers who have told me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This game is really fun and you'll certainly get hooked once you have played it. It's kinda like the game "WACKY WHEELS". But the difference is that each character has different attributes which "WACKY WHEELS" didn't have. You can also alter your character's attributes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTROLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Circle = Accelerate X = Brake Triangle = Reverse R1 = Use a weapon you've have in collected L1 = Use the special you've chosen at the specials screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAIN MENU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok, at the main menu, there are a few options right? Anyway, you should have that much problem with this as there are english sub titles. But I'll tell you what you can do. Options: Go to the options menu. At the options menu, you can change your controller's config, edit the sound, view track records, view FMVs from the game, select whether you want to use dual shock or normal controller. Time Mode: Timed race. Try this. You've gotta improve each time after the first race as you'll be racing against your ghost! Choose any character and an ability. Note that there are only five abilities to choose from( that's if you've completed the game at least twice). Improve your time. Story: Story mode. Use chocobo and try collecting all the eight crystal gears. Aquire other characters and skills after defeating them. You can also change your stats after beating the story mode. GP: GrandPrix. Challange other characters is GrandPrix. Choose four courses and a level of difficulty and get set to go! After choosing the four courses and after that you'll see three options before starting the race. This is to choose the difficulty level. First option is easy, second option is medium and third option is hard. The difference is that your opponents are smarter and faster. Try medium or hard if easy is no challange. Two player mode available.At the character select screen, choose the first option for one player, second for two players. Relay: Choose three characters and three abilities for a relay match with your opponents. One player or two player available. At the character select screen, choose the first option for one player, second for two players. Data: Load or save your game. Save is the top one, load is the bottom one. Yes if two characters, no is three characters. It a basic thing to know this if you are a frequent Jap game player. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPTIONS MENU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok, so here's what you gamers wanted enjoy! At the options menu, there are quite a few things that you can do. Chosing the first option lets you see the track records. In that menu, there are four options. First one lets you view track records. Second lets you view another type of track records. The third lets you delete the track records. Chosing the second option brings you to the configure controls option. You can change the config to your liking here. There is a vertical row of options. They are: 1st : Accleration. Default is circle. 2nd : Brake. Default is X. 3rd : Use item. Default is R1. 4th : Use special. Default is L1. 5th : Reverse. Default is triangle. 6th : A choice of two options. I think that it is whether you want a normal controller or dual shock controller. 7th : Change config back to default. 8th : Accept. Third option is to enter the sound room. You can here different sounds and music from the game. You can also change the volume of the BGM and music. The fourth is where you see the movies or rather FMVs' of the game. Just scroll from left to right to see the different FMVs of the game. Winning the GrandPrix with each character adds another FMV of the shots taken from the ending. You can also see the FMVs from the story mode. The fifth option is ... I dunno. The sixth option is like the one in the controller config but it is for player one. It is to choose between normal controller dual shock controller. The seventh option is is the same as the above but for player two. The eight option is the same again, but it is for both players. And finally the last option is to exit to main menu. Well, that's all folks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CREDITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To gamefaqs for this wonderful and fantastic site.
