Suzuka 8 Hours 2/Walkthrough

Once you have inserted your coin into the cabinet of Namco's Japan-only 1993 arcade game Suzuka 8 Hours 2, the text "STEP ON A PEDAL TO START" will flash up on the screen as a buzzing sound starts to be heard from the C140; once you have done it, the buzzing sound will stop and you will proceed to the track selection screen, as the track selection theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151. You will then have seventeen seconds to select one of the game's four tracks with the handlebars (but if you're using MAME to play this game, which you almost certainly will be unless you are a native of Japan, you will have to hold "9" and press "F2" to calibrate those virtual handlebars), as the text of "TILT THE MOTORCYCLE TO SELECT A COURSE. CONFIRM BY PUSHING THE PEDAL. THE COURSE WITH THE MOST VOTES WILL BE CHOSEN." appears at the top of the screen - and the text "STEP ON THE PEDAL." appears at the bottom of it. Once all of the players have selected a course, the one which has received the most votes will move into the centre of the screen as a result of it being chosen, as the other three move off the sides of it, then move up to the top of the screen, as it becomes the overhead map of the track; all the riders (who are standing on the left side of the track) will run across to their bikes upon the right side of the track, then mount them as their engines start (just like in the original). As in FL2 and 3, all four tracks' timers start with a different amount of seconds.
