Playing Miracle Space Race
Once the game has finished loading, you will be taken to the Title screen. From here you must select one of the following: START GAME or OPTIONS.
Start Game
Select START GAME and you will be taken to the SELECT GAME menu. Here you are asked to choose one of the following three options:
Tournament
Once you have selected Tournament mode, you will be taken to the SELECT CHARACTER screen. Here you must choose a character out of the eight available. Two other characters are unlocked once you have won some cups in Tournament mode. Each character handles differently. Choose a character to suit your racing style!
After you have chosen your character, you are taken to the SELECT CUP menu. Here you can choose to race the MD 360 CUP, the QT 747 CUP, or the VI 200 CUP. Initially, only the MD 360 CUP is available, but the others can be accessed as you win tournaments.
Each cup takes place across three planets. The cups change some as you progress. Once you have chosen a cup you will race across the three tracks it contains in an effort to finish in First Place.
After each race, points are awarded to the competitors as follows:
After all three races are over, the person with the most points overall wins the 1st prize in the tournament and the Gold trophy. Second place wins the Silver trophy and Third place wins the Bronze trophy.
If you win any of the trophies you will unlock the next Cup in Tournament mode. However to unlock the secret characters you will need to collect the Gold trophy when racing a Cup.
Arcade
Once you have selected Arcade mode, you have to select your character in the same way as in Tournament mode. You will then be taken to the SELECT TRACK menu. Initially there are only three tracks available; SOLAR V7 A, MERCURY SITE A, and NEPTUNE STATION A.
Once you have unlocked the other Cups in Tournament mode the 'B' and 'C' tracks for each planet are unlocked. Races in ARCADE mode are one-off races only. You just compete to come first in that race. You cannot unlock any characters or other features in ARCADE mode.
Time Trial
Once you have selected Time Trial mode, you select your character the same way as in Tournament mode. You will then be taken to the SELECT TRACK menu. Races in TIME TRIAL mode are one-off races only and feature no other competitors.
You compete to get the best time possible over the number of laps you have selected. Your best times can be saved in the RECORDS section of the OPTIONS menu.
