SCI Stage 2 Target Car.png

Once Gibson and Broady's red Nissan 300ZX has reappeared on the screen you will have to step on the gas pedal to accelerate it, then turn to the right and pass under twenty-four bridges (as waves lap against both sides of the track), and shift into high gear once it has reached 200 km/h; once you have done so, you'll have to turn to the right and pass under thirty-two more bridges as you come to an enemy helicopter that is dropping bombs on the track. Once you have fired a shot at it to make it retreat (you shall receive 200 points for doing so), you will have to turn to the right, then turn to the left, turn to the right again, turn to the left again, turn to the right for a third time, and turn to the left for a third time to pass under twenty-four more bridges (as more waves lap against both sides of the track) - and once you have done so, you shall have to turn to the right, turn to the left, and turn to the right again (as even more waves lap against the right side of the track). You'll then receive a bonus of 10000 points for every second you have remaining, as your time is extended (by 55, 60, 65 or 70 more seconds), the target car's damage meter appears on the left side of the screen as you come to it (again indicated by an arrow in its colour and the text of "CRIMINAL" over it), and the blue light reappears atop the Nissan 300ZX as its siren starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2610 (the six black German sports cars escorting the target car are also worth 5000 points if you ram them and force them to crash); once the target car's damage meter is at 20%, the same helicopter that appeared on the previous stage will fly down into view from the top of the screen and airdrop another rocket launcher onto the Nissan 300ZX. Once it lands on it, its ammunition of five shots (that will again further damage the target car by 10% when fired) will appear in the bottom of the screen and disappear when each one gets fired - and once the target car's damage meter is at 25% its back doors will be destroyed and its now-exposed passenger in the back will start throwing crates out of it onto the track. Once the target car's damage meter is completely filled, it shall burst into flames and stop; the screen will then cut to a shot of Gibson and Broady arresting the target car's driver and passenger as the text "STAGE 2 COMPLETED" appears above it. You will then receive a bonus of 10000 points for every second you have remaining.

The Taito Monitoring System shall then come back up into view from the bottom of the screen again as it adjusts its channel to 4 and volume to almost maximum (and a picture of a boulder on a rock with a left-pointing arrow and the text of "LOOK OUT FOR LANDSLIDE!" to its right below it); its green "BUSY" light shall then come on, as Nancy (World: "Halen") appears on its square blue screen, followed by the third stage's target car (which is a blue limousine, and the first of only two target vehicles for the game whose driver has an actual name) as the following text appears letter-by-letter below it:

BOB BLACK, THE
SYNDICATE GANG
BOSS IS IN A
LIMOUSINE,
SPEEDING TOWARD
THE MOUNTAIN AREA
GET HIM. OVER.

The game shall then proceed on to the third stage (which features, as the warning that appeared under the Taito Monitoring System implied, landslides).
