Two New Tracks (w/two variations of one) are added to the original RIDGE RACER
SHORT and RIDGE RACER LONG courses.
l
RIDGE RACER SHORT This is the
course to select from. The
passing areas are the hairpin curve along the seashore and the long
sweeping curve before the final straightaway.
New!! CITY Course Rated “Average” in difficulty. The course winds it’s way
through a high speed multi-lane urban highway. There’s plenty of room to
pass competitors and enough turns to keep the race close.
New!! MOUNTAIN Course- Full of turns and narrow mountainous roads, it is
rated “Difficult”. The best places to pass are during a chain of turns between
the hotel and two bridges. At the second turn to the left,
identify a corner with no shoulder on the road. Turning the comer too wide will
cause the car to fall of a cliff and enter a mountain tunnel. Once the driver
makes it through the tunnel and gets over the shock, the road eventually
rejoins with the regular track.
New!! MOUNTAIN EXPERT Course This is the true test of a drivers skill. It
is only selectable in a two-or more player linked game. The course layout is
the same as the MOUNTAIN Course, but the maximum speed is increased to
a more demanding level. The “rubber band” feature that is intended to keep
all cars competitive (found in all other tracks) is turned OFF.
