THE DRIVER’S SEAT
POWER GAUGE:
This lights up when you press on the ACCELERATOR, and
shows the power that you’re using. When this gauge turns completely white
and begins flashing, your booster rocket is ready to fire! The gauge will
remain white the entire time the booster rocket is in operation.
STATUS:
This shows you the number of the STAGE you’re racing in, the
number of the rout you’re taking and your current time.
SPEEDOMETER:
Shows your current SPEED in miles per hour.
TIME REMAINING:
Shows the seconds you have remaining to complete
each route.
SHIFT INDICATOR (Manual shift only):
Shows whether you are in HIGH or
LOW GEAR. You will always start in LOW GEAR at the beginning of a race or
after an accident. The booster rocket will not fire if you are in LOW GEAR.
RULES OF THE ROAD
You begin each race from a tunnel. Wait for the signal to go, then hit the
ACCELERATOR and keep the following rules in mind:
Complete each route in the shortest time possible!
You’re allowed a max-
imum of 80 seconds to complete the first route. If you run out of time before
to complete a route, you are retired from the race and the game ends. If you
make it to the next route with seconds to spare, the words EXTENDED PLAY!
will appear, and the seconds you had remaining will be added to the time
allotted for the next route.
Use your booster rocket wisely!
To use your booster rocket, simply stay on
the accelerator. When your POWER GAUGE turns white and begins flashing,
get ready for a burst of speed that will take you up to 682 MPH. You can
continue at this speed until you hit an obstacle or you use the brakes. Avoid
firing your booster rocket by slowing down or touching the brakes just as the
rocket seems ready to fire.
Dodge road traps!
Some of the routes are in terrible shape. Many haz-
ardous bridges don’t have guard rails, and some roads are littered by con-
struction signs and slippery sand. On some routes, entire sections of the
road are missing. Other routes are full of slower drivers who would like noth-
ing better than to block you off.
Each obstacle you hit, even if it doesn’t wipe out your car, costs you precious
seconds of racing time. Ramming other drivers is not only unsportsmanlike,
but bad for you – you’ll lose time and they won’t. At worst, they’ll knock you
off the road completely. Leaving the track will also slow you down and cost
extra time.
There are ramps placed on certain routes that allow you to jump over the
worst of the unfinished roads and traffic jams, you can even jump onto ele-
vated highways! Use your booster rocket to blast through rough terrain and
give you extra distance when you are airborne.
PIT STOP
Press the START BUTTON at any time during the race to stop the action. In
the STATUS WINDOW of the game screen, you’ll be asked whether or not
you want to retire from the race. If you want to continue racing, use the
STEERING WHEEL to select NO and press the START BUTTON. If you
select YES, the game ends.
