MEMORY CARD (8MB)(for PlayStation®2)
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 of your PlayStation®2 system.
You can load saved game data from the same memory card or any memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) containing previously saved games.
THE T-180 & ITS UNIQUE MANEUVERING CAPABILITIES
The T-180 is the standard racecar used in the World Racing League (WRL). In addition to its Jump Jacks, which allow it to jump into the air, it can reach speeds in excess of 400 MPH.
It can also Slide, a maneuver accomplished by its four independently rotating wheels, which allow the racecar to continue forward on a track in spite of whatever direction it may be facing.
Mastering the controls of the T-180 racecar can be a challenging task, so be sure to familiarize yourself with its many unique abilities. In this manual, you'll find a basic overview of the controls you'll need to know to be successful on the track.
SAVING YOUR PROGRESS
SPEED RACER uses an Autosave. After you complete a race or unlock any track, character, etc., the game automatically saves your progress to the memory card.
•
Be sure to have your memory card inserted before you start SPEED RACER to ensure that you don't overwrite any previous saves.
STUNTS
Use the right analog stick or control buttons to initiate different STUNT maneuvers. These can help you navigate the track and get into better positions to take out, bypass, and avoid opponents.
JUMP STUNTS
•
FRONT FLIP — Right analog stick
•
BACK FLIP — Right analog stick
•
SIDE JUMP/BARREL ROLL — Right analog stick or
SHUNT & SPIN STUNTS
•
SHUNT LEFT — button
•
SHUNT RIGHT — button
•
180 SPIN — Tap button
•
ROUND HOUSE (360 SPIN) — Press and hold button
SLIPSTREAMING
When you drive close behind other racecars, you get a Speed bonus from their SLIPSTREAM. This gives you enough of a speed increase to pass them.
•
Be careful when performing this move. Rivals may attack if you stay in their slipstream too long.
ALLIANCES
In a Championship race, you may team up with other drivers to gain an advantage on the track. Allies agree not to CAR-FU one another or attack each other when SLIPSTREAMING.
However, ALLIANCES can be broken. If you CAR-FU your allies, you get a Points and Boost penalty. If you destroy an ally, the alliance is canceled.
RIVALRIES
Rivals are the opposite of allies. They are other drivers who are focused on taking you out by any means necessary. Each driver will have his or her own set of rivals. For instance, Jack "Cannonball" Taylor is Speed Racer's rival.
•
In Championship races, after the first race, the racer in 1st place is always your rival (or the racer in 2nd if you are in 1st).
SPEED-UP SQUARES
On every track, small SPEED-UP SQUARES provide a Speed bonus when you manage to drive over them. Be sure to run over these squares, since the bonuses you gain will do much to give you a track advantage.
GAME MODES
SINGLE RACE
Jump in and race a single race. In this mode, it's all about who wins one race. No points, no tracking—just winning and losing. The tracks and drivers available in this mode will only be those you have already unlocked in Championship Mode.
TUTORIAL
Trixie walks you through a tutorial on how to best control your T-180, step by step. Perfect for the new player, it covers all the basics. But only experience on the track will really give you everything you need to win.
TIME TRIAL
Compete against prior time records for each track. The Ranking display on your HUD (see page 9) shows how your current time compares to prior laps and prior records.
CHAMPIONSHIP
Championship Mode allows you to compete in different competitions of two or more races each. Each race gives you points. These are tallied up to give you an overall ranking across the entire competition.
Race points are gained through three different means: your finishing place; through CAR-FU; and by having the fastest lap.
POINTS FOR FINISHING
When you finish a race, the place in which you finish gives you a certain number of points. Points for each race are calculated as follows:
•
1st Place: 10
•
2nd Place: 8
•
3rd Place: 6
•
4th Place: 3
•
5th Place:

Tips & Maps
CAR-FU
The artful maneuvering and fighting of opponents using the unique features of the T-180 racecar to gain an advantage on the track.
TAIL TOSS
Drive close behind an opponent and perform a back-flip to toss them forward.
BOOST BASH
Use BOOST just prior to hitting an opponent to make the hit much more devastating than a normal one.
SMACK DOWN
Perform a JUMP while in a GRIND and land on top of an opponent to initiate this attack.
SPIN ATTACK
Tap the button to perform a 180 SPIN when close to an opponent, causing significant damage.
ROUND HOUSE
Hold down the button to perform a 380 SPIN, bringing your racecar fully around to face forward again and stirring up decent damage.
HYPER SPIN
Use BOOST while performing a ROUND HOUSE (holding down the button) to launch this insane attack.
TORPEDO
Use BOOST while performing a BARREL ROLL to launch your racecar forward like a torpedo, attacking other opponents.
BACKWARDS BONUS
Hit a racecar with the rear end of your T-180 to double the damage you do to the opponent.
BACK SPIN
Perform a BACK FLIP while facing backward on the track to reset the alignment of your racecar, causing it to flip and turn 180 degrees to face forward again.
BOOST POWER
Gain this by avoiding hitting the sides of the track; it builds as blue bars on your HUD and grants a BOOST when filled.
BOOST
Allows you to suddenly accelerate your speed, and can be earned by gaining BOOST POWER or performing CAR-FU moves.
THE ZONE
Save up three BOOSTS and use them all at once to enter this state, allowing you to move at super-fast speeds for a short period.
GRINDING
Running into the side of the track, which can strategically position you for CAR-FU attacks but generally damages your racecar and slows you down.
