HOW TO PLAY
•
If people are conducting the following actions, warn them of potential danger.
• Two people are in the seat and playing the game.
• A person other than the player is operating the steering wheel.
• A person is touching the seat rail or slide section.
•
If a player becomes sick due to game images or stimulation by lights, have the
person stop playing the game immediately and let him/her rest.
•
In rare cases, stimulation by lights or video images can cause convulsions or a
loss of consciousness. If this happens, advice the person to see a doctor for
medical examination as soon as possible. When pre-school children play, request
their parents or guardians to observe the children.
This action racing game machine allows communication-linked Versus Race game
play when two to four units are connected.
In the game, a player operates the kart driven by a game character and participates
in a race. A player uses a pre-selected item to obstruct rivals in order to win the race.
When a player wins a game, he/she gets a new item.
The ultimate purpose of the game is to collect many useful items by winning races
and continue winning by using collected items.
General description of the game

About game modes
•
Versus Race mode: In this mode, the player competes with other players in a
communication-linked game. Up to four players can play in
this mode. A winning player obtains an item.
•
Grand Prix mode:
This is a single-player mode. The player competes in each
of the six Cup races in order. Each time the player wins, he/
she obtains an item.
•
Time Attack mode:
This is a single-player mode. The player races against time
on a course with no rival karts.
•
Versus Race mode
•
When a player inserts the required number of coins, the screen displays a message
“Please wait!” At this point, the player’s entry in a Versus Race is registered. The
other communicating units display “Waiting for entry!” and wait for players to join.
When the Versus Race game is entered by one or more players, the game starts
in the Versus Race mode.
•
When all participating players select their characters, the namcam2 (camera)
captures the facial images of players and displays them on their respective screens.
•
After images are captured, the machine units display the “Select Stage” screen.
After all players enter their choices, a stage is decided by a majority vote. (If the
number of votes is the same between two stages, the easier stage is selected.)
