Speed Racer (1995)/Alpine Race

''Your current position in the race and remaining time (which begins at 40 seconds for all three tracks) are displayed in the top-left corner of the screen; to their right is your chosen car's rear-view mirror, and to the right of that is the remaining uses for your car's primary, secondary and tertiary weapons. The progress of all four cars is displayed on the left side of the screen with your car's current speed in MPH to its right - and on the right side of the screen is your current score (you shall receive 1 point for each metre travelled). Also, if there's one or more car behind yours, one or more arrows shall appear at the bottom of the screen to indicate their position; if any of them should pass you, the letter indicating their controlling player will be hovering over them. However, it's possible for you to use an instance of an obstacle weapon to prevent the other players', and the CPU-controlled, cars from passing yours.''

At the start of the race, your chosen cars will appear at the starting line with the letters A, B, C and D above them (if less than four people are playing the game the remaining ones shall be controlled by the CPU and randomly-generated); the camera shall then zoom in on either the first and second ones (if you are Player 1 or 2) or the third and fourth ones (if you are Player 3 or 4) as the numbers 3, 2 and 1 appear on the screen, followed by the text of GO!. Once you've stepped on the gas pedal (which is the only one this game has), to accelerate your car, you may wish to use an instance of a forward-firing weapon against one (or more) of the others - and once you've passed it (or them), you shall have to turn to the right, turn to the left, and turn to the right again as you come to a blockade of rocks (which you'll either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over). Once you've passed it you will come to a second blockade of both trees and rocks (which you shall, again, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over); once you have passed it, you will have to turn to the right and turn to the left as you come to a third blockade of rocks (which you shall, once again, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on, or jump over). Once you have passed it, you will have to turn to the right as you drive into a tunnel with a "CHECK POINT" sign over its entrance - and once you have done so, your remaining time will be extended by 30 seconds and your weapons replenished with the texts "TIME EXTENDED" and "DEVICE EXTENDED".

You'll now come to a fourth blockade of ice stalagmites (which you shall, yet again, either have to steer around, use an instance of a newly-replenished obstacle-destroying weapon on, or jump over); once you have passed it you shall have to turn to the right (if your car falls off the left side of the track at this point, a helicopter will lower it back into play unless you run out of time), as you come to a fifth blockade of boulders (which you shall for a fifth time either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over). Once you have passed it, you will have to turn the left (it is also possible to fall off both sides of the track at this point), as you come to a sixth blockade of boulders (which you will for a sixth time either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over) - and once you have passed it, you will have to turn to the right as you come to a seventh blockade of boulders (which you shall for a seventh time either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over). Once you pass it, you have to turn to the right again as you drive into a second tunnel and come to an eighth blockade of ice stalagmites (which you shall, for an eighth time, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over); once you have passed it, you shall have to turn to the left as you come to a ninth blockade of boulders (which you shall, for a ninth time, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over). Once you pass it, you will have to drive under a second "CHECK POINT" sign - and once you have done so your remaining time shall again be extended by 30 seconds while your weapons are replenished for a second time.

You will now come to a tenth blockade of boulders (which you shall, for a tenth time, either have to steer around, use an instance of a newly-replenished obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over); once you pass it you shall drive into a third tunnel as you come to an eleventh blockade of ice stalagmites (which you shall, for an eleventh time, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on, or jump over). Once you come out of the tunnel you shall have to turn to the left as you come up to a twelfth blockade of rocks (which you shall, for the twelfth time, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on, or jump over) - and once you pass it without falling off the track's left side, you shall have to drive under a third (and final) "CHECK POINT" sign. Once you have done so, your remaining time shall once again be extended by 30 seconds while your weapons are replenished for a third and last time; as this is the last checkpoint, there is not much further to go before you cross the finish line now.

You shall then have to turn to the right as you come to a thirteenth blockade of rocks (which you shall, for a thirteenth time, either have to steer around, use an instance of a newly-replenished obstacle-destroying weapon on or jump over); once you have passed it, you shall have to turn to the left as you come to a fourteenth and final blockade of both trees and rocks (which you will, for a final time in this race, either have to steer around, use an instance of an obstacle-destroying weapon on, or jump over). Once you have passed it, you shall have to turn to the right as you drive under the finish line - and once you've done this, the text FINISH! will appear on the screen with your position below it. If you came in either second, third or fourth, the text "YOU LOSE" shall now appear at the top of the screen with your position on both its left and right sides; however, if you came in first, the text "YOU WIN" will appear at the top of it instead with the text 1st on both its left and right sides. If your time was less than 2:20:00, the game will go into best-time mode - and you will have to turn the steering wheel to select your initials, then step on the gas pedal to confirm them (you will also have to do this if your score was over 15000, because in such a case, the game shall go into high-score mode). Once you have done so, the game shall go back into attract mode.
