Contact Info ------------------------ 0.0 Introduction ------------------------ This guide comes directly from my full guide that is in progress. That is why it starts at Chapter 5. ======================== 5. Bike Racing ======================== ------------- 5.1 Overview ------------- Every time you travel to a dungeon, you ride your bike. The first time you go to each place, the game will switch to a side-scrolling racing game. Your objective there, as in every race track in this game, is to reach the finish line. WARNING: If you die while riding to a dungeon, the game ends. Kochi is in charge of the Bike Garage in San Miguel. Kochi gives you four options when talking to him. The first lets you customize your bike. The second lets you rename your bike. The third lets you do time trials and races on different tracks. The fourth option just lets you talk to Kochi. -------------------- 5.2 Bike Customizer -------------------- +-----------------+ +------------------------------------------+ | BIKE NAME | |BIKE CUSTOM | | | | ATTACK / Dmg [Special Dmg] | | | | WEAPON COST / Cost [Special Cost] | | Picture of Bike | | ACCELERATION / Acceleration Rate | | | | SPEED / Max Speed | | | | HP / Bike HP | | | | OPTION / Option Slots | | | | STEERING HANDLE / Steering Ability | | | | BRAKE / Braking Speed | | | | BOOST COST / Boost Cost | +-----------------+ +------------------------------------------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ | CUSTOM | | OPTION | | COLOR | +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ ----------------- 5.2.1 Bike Parts ----------------- Four pages of Bike Parts: Front (Weapons), Body, Tire, and Special. ------------ Front Parts: ------------ Name: Blaster I Attack: 20 Wpn Cost: 40 Description: A single bullet is fired forward.
