Throughout the game, the dashboard of your vehicle will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. It shows you information about your current race conditions. At the very top is a colored gauge which represents your engine's RPMs. Since both cars contain automatic transmissions, you never have to worry about switching gears or redlining, it's simply there for effect. Immediately below that is your speed. You cannot go any faster than 255 km/h, so any attempts to accelerate or turbo beyond that will have no effect. Below your speed is a gauge which indicates your progress along the entire course. The S stands for "Start" and the G stands for "Goal". The more that the triangles light up from left to right, the closer you are to the completion of the course. On the right side is your score. Your score is cumulative across each course, and is determined by how far you travel, and how fast you travel. | Throughout the game, the dashboard of your vehicle will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

On the far left side is the timer, and probably the most important indicator during the race. This timer indicates how much time you have to complete the ''current leg'' of the course; that is, the time you have to reach one of the three checkpoints or the finish line. If you run out of time, your gas pedal will disengage, but your car will still move forward on | On the far left side is the timer, and probably the most important indicator during the race. This timer indicates how much time you have to complete the ''current leg'' of the course; that is, the time you have to reach one of the three checkpoints or the finish line. If you run out of time, your gas pedal will disengage, but your car will still move forward on its own momentum, slowly slowing down (unless you hit the brakes). If you manage to cross a check point before your car comes to a complete stop, you will be awarded for the accomplishment with more time, and your gas peddle will reengage, allowing you to continue racing. | ||
