Suzuka 8 Hours 2/Gameplay

Controls

 * Handlebars: Use the handlebars to steer your bike (white for Players 1 & 5, red for Players 2 & 6, black for Players 3 & 7, and green for Players 4 & 8) left and right just as you would with any real motorbike. Unlike in the three games, the player bikes are not affiliated with specific teams.
 * Gas Pedal: Step on the gas pedal to accelerate your bike. The harder you step on it, the faster your bike goes (until it hits another bike or billboard).
 * Break Pedal: Step on the break pedal to decelerate your bike. The harder you step on it, the slower your bike goes until it stops moving completely.
 * Hi/Lo Shift: Use the gear shifter to change the gear that your bike is driving in (as with all 3 Final Lap games, you should start it out in low gear and shift it into high gear once it has reached 100 km/h). Unlike in FL2 and FL3, the shifter's position is not displayed in the screen's bottom-right corner.

Player Bikes (プレイヤーバイクス)
These are the bikes that the players must again take control of for the Formula One race upon one track. From left to right: White (Player 1 and 5), Red (Player 2 and 6), Black (Player 3 and 7), and Green (Player 4 and 8); they again aren't affiliated with specific teams.

CPU Bikes (シーピーユーバイクス)
If a single player is playing the game alone, then his position in the race will never change from 1/1, regardless of how many of these blue CPU-controlled bikes he passes; however, if multiple players are playing this game simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together, and any of the other players are ahead of the first player at any time, the first player's position will be 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7 or 8/8. Now onto the Walkthrough.
