Below are some secret moves and tips which you can make use of
during the game. They are not indicated in the game and you have to
explore it yourself. I'm showing it to you right now!
Link Battle
without Speed Boost
During link battles the car behind the leader is normally given a
speed boost. To play the game without speed boost, please follow
the following steps to turn the speed boost off.
After choosing the Link Battle and before the race starts, each
player must step on their brake pedal (step on and hold down the
brake pedal before and after the Illustration Screen is displayed)
to turn off speed boost. This
mode is for players who want to compete on equal
conditions.
Changing the
BGM
You can change the in-game BGM before playing! Press the
View Change Button while you are choosing your
rival. there are 11 songs to choose from.
Changing Time
Display Mode when racing on Time Attack mode.
During Time Attack mode, the different times are displayed in the
upper right hand part of the screen. Press the Start
Button to switch between all times and your best
times.
Changing the
Rankings Display
This screen shows all the rankings of all cars when no one is
playing on the machine. Press the View Change

Depress the accelerator to toggle tuning

Down shifting
with automatic transmission (AT).
An automatic transmission (AT) will automatically down shift for
you when you lose speed. However, in order to race faster on the
arcade stage courses, it has been made possible to down shift
whenever you like. (Push the gear knob forward to
down shift)
Turning the
headlights on/off while racing.
Headlights can only be used when racing at night. Hold the
Start Button for at least 2 seconds to turn the
headlights on or off. This way you can experience the Takumi Blind
Attack! Your opponents won't be able to see you clearly in their
rear view mirror.
