How to Play
Game Boy Rumble Pak Function
This Game Pak has a built-in rumble feature that provides real-time feedback when used with any Game Boy system.
Battery Installation
Before using the Game Boy Rumble Pak, install the battery. The game play features will operate without a battery, but rumble vibrations require one.
•
Make sure to remove the Game Boy Rumble Pak from the Game Boy system when inserting or removing the battery.
•
Remove the battery cover and insert one AAA battery as shown.
•
Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Do not use nickel-cadmium batteries (rechargeable type).
•
Replace the battery cover.
•
Load the Game Boy Rumble Pak into any Game Boy System then turn the Game Boy system power on.
Championship
Championship mode is a multi-lap race against eight computer-controlled rally racers. Courses range from deserts to alpine mountains.
Winning races uncovers tougher courses and hidden cars. You need to finish in one of the top three places on all tracks to discover all secrets.
The game provides a new password each time you win a trophy. Write it down to save your progress, cars, and courses. This prevents you from having to race through easy courses every time you play.
Time Attack
Time Attack is an open road battle against the clock. You are the only driver on the track.
Use Time Attack to set record times or practice finding the best lines through difficult turns. This mode is perfect for testing skills and matching cars to courses.
After practicing, try your new driving strategies in Championship mode or take on a human player in Vs. Battle.
Vs. Battle
Vs. Battle mode is the ultimate two-player rally road race. You can play this mode with another player who has a Top Gear Pocket game pak and Game Boy Color, via a Game Link Cable.
Once linked, you can pick your cars and courses for a two-player driving duel.
Options
•
PASSWORD: Each time you place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a race, you'll receive a new password.
•
SOUND: Soundtest lets you check out all of the sounds and music.
•
RUMBLE: Your Top Gear Pocket game includes a Rumble Pak option. This feature gives you vital feedback when you're sliding on a turn.
Courses
The courses in Top Gear Pocket offer plenty of variety and challenge. Like most of the cars in the game, you can open more tracks by finishing in the top three in all of the races in Challenge mode.
•
GRASS LAND: The paved Grass Land course is the smoothest and easiest track in the game. This is the perfect course to test out new cars and sharpen your racing skills.
•
DESERT: Like the Grass Land track, the Desert is an open and easy course. The only real tough part is holding a line through the loose gravel on the turns.

Enemies & Characters
TYPE-LE
The Type-LE is one of the fastest cars in the game. This four-wheeler will rip up the straightaways on courses like Night Town and Savannah, but it's hard to steer if you're trying to speed around sharp corners.
TYPE-ES
The Type-ES features stunning acceleration but it won't break any land speed records. Pick this car for courses that mix plenty of short open stretches with wide turns. This car will eat up the Ruin course.
TYPE-PG
The Type-PG is a front-wheel drive vehicle with the engine in the front of the car. This fast car will set stunning times on the asphalt tracks. Take it for a run on the Savannah and Night Town courses.
TYPE-IB
Like the Type-PG, the Type-IB has front-wheel drive with the engine directly over the front wheels. While slower than the Type-PG, the Type-IB offers exceptional handling and slightly better acceleration.
TYPE-LD
The Type-LD is your best choice for the tough gravel courses like the Jungle and the Ruin. This four-wheeler doesn't have the best top speed, but it can stick to a corner like bubble gum on hot pavement.
TYPE-CE
The Type-CE will blow away the fastest computer drivers and best cars in the game, if your driving skills are sharp enough to keep this monster on the road. If you can control it, the Type-CE will win it all.
Tips & Maps
JUNGLE
Four-wheelers are essential for winning on the Jungle course. The slick road surface and the big bumps in the middle of the turns combine to make this one of the toughest early tracks in the game.
SAVANNAH
Savannah is an incredibly fast course made up of two long straightaways connected by a twisting backstretch. The fastest cars do well here, especially if the drivers can blast through the sharp turns.
CHOOSE THE BEST VEHICLE FOR THE COURSE
Picking the right car can make it easier to win. Choose a car with a high top speed on straight courses, and use a car with good handling on the twisted tracks.
STEER TO THE INSIDE OF EACH TURN
If you're quick enough to steer towards the inside of a turn, you'll find that you'll have plenty of room to drive fast and slide through most corners.
STAY OFF THE SHOULDER
The Rumble Pak will vibrate whenever your car veers close to the edge of the road. Stay off the shoulder or you will lose speed and possibly control of your car.
