<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
a) Differences and similarities
ok you've played the arcade version? or have you?
what are the differences you ask? ok here goes...
[by the way, these aren't good or bad necessarily, they are
factual!]
differences [in no particular order]
1. drop out on all the courses of various objects
2. 2 player split screen mode
3. loss of color, and different palette from the true arcade colors
4. totally different sense of car feel and handling in all modes, and
even with customization
5. new car [lancia stratos...more on this later] for use in all modes
6. addition of lakeside to arcade practice courses
7. different music
8. different sound effects
9. different intro
10. dramatic loss of frame rate
11. drastic drop in resolution
12. complete loss of almost 90% of all arcade modes and settings
13. different reaction of computer cars in all settings and modes
14. different colored computer cars
15. loss of map in two player mode
16. loss of indicators on one player screen
17. completely different ending winning screen shots
18. no option for km/h (Yet?!)
19. loss of rearview mirror in in-car mode!
.... i could go on and on but you get the idea!
so, is there anything that they did leave in?
similarities
1. cars are all there
2. courses are all there
3. number of laps are the same in defaults
4. the name of the game
... that's about it, but the good news is all the extra stuff...
Saturn exclusives
1. ghost mode to race against yourself
2. time attack for courses to train on, and time differences
3. customizable cars
4. changeable music
5. all kinds of two player mode options
6. FULL INSTANT REPLAY OF ALL TRACKS , RACES AND COURSES!!!!!!!
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
4. Course Guides
aa) unHelpful Hints
Want to set all the record times?
Well this is what you need to do in order to accomplish that!
i) don't ever hit the walls! they take off .30 - 1 sec off of
your lap time
try to keep the car straight and parallel to the walls at
all times, if you're sliding around you are losing time
when in doubt, brake! taking a turn slower is better than
hitting something , this ISN'T DAYTONA(c).
ii) analyze your replays and you will see where you need to
improve (compare with the speeds/times below)
iii) yes, you can fiddle with the cars performance, but get
used to the defaults first
iv) start off with automatic, of course it's easier to learn
(in fact i almost use it almost exclusively)
v) learn the tracks like this (suggested)
1) desert 2) mountain 3) forest 4) lakeside
vi) do time attack, or practice before you take on
the championship. also leave time attack ghost mode,
and time differences ON ALL THE TIME, to see how
you are doing.

D E S E R T C O U R S E
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) desert course (easy) : [ER, and EL] [ER] bump! [ER] <2nd checkpoint> [LER]
[ER] [EL] [EL and ER] [VLERm]{description on how to take turn below}-finish
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOMATIC-take the approach the way you like,you can go wide to the left,
and cut inwards, as you start braking, note how the car is handling, are
the wheels slipping, check your speed, you should slow down to about 93
mph and once you round the turn, accelerate again, and straighten the wheel
MANUAL-same as above, however push the speed a little higher >100 mp/h,
downshift to 3rd , brake and upshift to 4th again, or just do it by
downshifting. you should be able to get the grip from the gravel slightly
sooner, so be prepared to accelerate as quickly as possible
NOTE : TO CANCEL SCREEN SHOTS PRESS START
-------------------------------------------------------
Winning 1st screen shots
1) still shot of straightaway with the bumps
2) still shot of first turn with moving zebra
3) still shot of spectators on dirt hill
4) still shot of buildings at start of track
5) moving shot of zebras on the last long right turn
-------------------------------------------------------
Here is a turn by turn analysis of my top times and the
associated factors....
This isn't necessarily the best or optimal, but that's
how i set my records!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
yet even more notes -
1. [CP - check point]
2. speed is in mph
3. brake indicates if braking is necessary, or should i
say, when i thought (and actually did use) braking,
otherwise take ALL TURNS!!!!! at FULL SPEED!!!!!!!!!
4. the previous guide is only for the ORIGINAL or MODIFIED CARS
NOT, REPEAT, NOT FOR THE STRATOS (more later)
this holds for the other tracks too, since the Stratos
controls differently , we will go into this at a later time,
either celica or lancia (same top speed auto-140 mph,
or manual-142+ mph)

F O R E S T C O U R S E
==============================================================================
2) forest course (medium) : [VLER] [LERm] [VLEL] <1st checkpoint> [ML]
[MLm]-BOTH-you will have to do a controlled brake and accelerate motion
through the turn, first slow down as you approach the turn , then turn to
the left and as you see the wheels starting to slip accelerate again, due
to the poor traction on the road, you will not gain full speed right away
and the car will (should!) swing out to right. once you straighten up, you
should be going full speed ahead [LMR] - this turn is the opposite of the
prior one , turn to the inside of the right turn and let the car slide
outwards as you apply the brake,then quickly accelerate.
[VHR] - then comes the killer u-turn, slow down to about 62 mp/h or 2nd gear,
turn hard to the right and when you pass the mountain on the right keep on
sliding, and accelerate quickly while you straighten the car out
[HL] - to take a hard left on dirt road, slide through it,go 62 mp/h or 2nd
gear, and after you turn again go full speed and prepare for right turn
[MR] - this turn to the right should be taken slightly carefully, you don't
need to slow down that much, but tapping the brakes is not enough, adjust
as you turn [ER and EL] [LMR] [ER] - finish

M O U N T A I N C O U R S E
===============================================================================
mountain (expert!) : [EL and EL] [ER and EL]
[ML] - as you come up to the checkpoint, a hard left turn comes up slow
down to 68mph or 2nd gear, and turn to the left, straighten out and
speed up again [MRm] - this time, turn to the right, you should go past
the brick wall on the right, and start speeding up for the next left turn
[LEL and HL] - before the turn approaches, start to brake
moderately and slide the car through the top part of the turn, begin to
turn to the right, and wait till the car passes the brick wall on the
right, once the car passes that, you should be facing straight forward,
and you can accelerate quickly again [HR] hairpin right, slow to 60mph,and
turn right[LML] - take the turn slower than full speed, brake slightly to
about 111mph [EL] [ELm] [ML][MR][ELm] [ELm] [LMR] [HL]
- after the long mendium right, get ready for a hard left,brake early, slide
to left and turn, once you are out of it, accelerate quickly to top speed
steer left [EL] - finish

5. Saturn Specifics Tricks
a) extra track
to get a new track to practice in arcade and time attack mode -
finish 1st in championship (in any setting) and you get to race
the Lakeside track, once you get it, you can practice it.
**** new ****
to access the track without finishing first, go to the regular
options menu, go to time attack mode and press X+Y at the same
time, and the new track should show up under the options
b) extra car
finish championship in normal mode, come in 1st overall, AND!!
1st on lakeside, you will get the lancia stratos, a car that
goes 150 mph+, and handles very delicately.
(unconfirmed) supposedly there is one extra other car to get!!!!
**** new ****
to access the new car without coming in first, go to the time
attack option and press (in order) X, Y, Z, Y, X and the new
car should show up under the menu for the cars, (go to the
extreme left, or right) for the arcade modes
c) replays
whenever you set new times for the courses, you should get the
option of replaying your races, use these to analyze your race
and do better next time, and improve your times!
**** new ****
to zoom in and out while viewing, Hold the pad/joystick Down and
hold the Z button, to zoom in also hold the R button, and to zoom
out also hold the L button for variable adjustment.
d) mirror mode
go to arcade/time attack , select car , etc.. , when you select
course, hold down X button and C button and you will get mirror mode
for all courses (left -> right) but no voices when you turn!!!!
(except turn around if you go backwards)
e) hyper car mode
select course and pick car, but hold Y button and C button and
you should get a slightly faster car
***** new *****
the car seems to have a slightly higher speed by +1/+2 mph but
the handling is 'looser' in the sense it sways more than the
normal car, but if you notice your times should be faster by
a few seconds
also when you go to the records for arcade/time attack you should
see a new set of times called 'special', and these are different
for the normal set of times for the championship mode
f) full screen mode (unconfirmed)
supposedly there is a way to get all the gauges / times to dissapear
g) real backwards tracks (unconfirmed)
drive the courses backwards (NOT MIRROR MODE)
h) race against built in AM2 car driver in time attack mode (seen but
don't remember how to do it!)
