PLAYING THE GAME
This section covers general gameplay that is common to all modes.
HOW TO TURN
You must lean to the side in order to turn your bike. Your turning radius will depend on the angle of lean.
Note: If you use the Directional Buttons to turn, the maximum amount of lean will be applied. This makes it difficult to finesse the amount of turn. Steering with the Left Analog Stick allows you to make finer turn adjustments.
DRIVING ON RAINY DAYS
Depending on the mode you are in, you may race in rainy weather. Rain-soaked tracks are slippery, so if you lean your bike as you would in dry track conditions, you may lay the bike down and crash.
This is particularly true if Simulation is set to ON. Cornering must be performed at a reduced speed and with care.
SPECIAL TRICKS
Do special tricks on your bike by using the R2 Button alone or in conjunction with other buttons.
•
To pull off a wheelie, press the R2 Button as you accelerate (Button). The bike must be upright to perform a wheelie.
•
A stoppy stands the bike up on its front wheel. To perform a stoppy, press the R2 Button + Button.
•
Burn out from a standstill by pressing the R2 Button + Button + Button.
