1. HOW TO PLAY
• This machine is a multi-player racing game that allows several people to play at
the same time, up to a maximum number of eight.
• When two or three players are competing against each other, the computer car
is included and competition is between four cars.
When four or more players compete against each other, competition is amongst
those players only.
When only one player is playing, he/she competes against the computer cars.
[Game Summary]
• The object of the game is to complete the set number of laps as fast as possible
within the set time.
• The game is over after completing the set number of laps. The finishing position,
lap time, and total time are displayed at the end of the game.
• If the set time runs out (becomes "0") before the laps are completed, the game
is over.
[Starting the Game]
• Insert a coin/s. Move the shift lever up or down to select the method of shifting,
AT (auto) or MT (manual) and then depress the accelerator.
• Next, move the shift lever up or down to select the level of difficulty (beginner,
expert, expert (pro)) and then depress the accelerator. Expert (pro) is selected
by selecting expert and depressing the accelerator while at the same time
pressing the view change button. In a linked game expert (pro) class is set only
if all participating players select it.
• After making selections, wait for the empty seat entry.
• A linked game starts when all of the connected seats have been entered, or
when another player enters from another seat within twenty seconds after the
coin/s have been inserted.
If there is no entry by another person within the twenty seconds, the game starts
as a single player.
• A single player game can be started without waiting for other players by inserting
a coin/s while pressing the view change button.
