The overhead view of the Suzuka Circuit.

The Suzuka Circuit is now located in the bottom-left corner of the track selection screen, so if you are using MAME to play the game, you cannot select it, if you have not calibrated the steering; its timer will also, as in the original, start out at 85 seconds.

You will first have to step on the gas pedal to accelerate your bike as you pass under the bridge for Coca-Cola, then pass two billboards with an arrow pointing to the north-east on the left side of the track and a lamppost on the right side of the track; you will then have to turn to the right as you'll pass five stacks of red and white tyres, three black-and-yellow chevrons pointing to the right, two grandstands, a third billboard for Shoei, four trees and a fourth billboard with an arrow pointing to the curved north-east on the left side of the track. You will now have to turn to the left as you pass four more trees, a lookout tower, four more stacks of red and white tyres and a ninth tree on the right side of the track then turn to the right as you pass a tenth stack of red and white tyres, another lookout tower, four more trees and three more stacks of red and white tyres on the left side of the track - and once you've done so, you have to turn to the left, as you pass a third lookout tower, four more trees and three more stacks of red and white tyres upon the right side of the track, then turn to the right as you pass four more trees, a fourth lookout tower, three more stacks of red and white tyres, a fifth billboard with an arrow pointing to the north-west and four more trees on the left side of the track. You will now have to turn to the left, as you pass a fifth lookout tower, sixteen more trees, three more black-and-yellow chevrons that are pointing to the left, a twentieth stack of red and white tyres, a sixth lookout tower, sixteen more trees and a second lamppost upon that right side of the track, then turn to the right as you pass this third lamppost, a seventh lookout tower, a sixth billboard with an arrow pointing to the northeast, four more stacks of red and white tyres, this fourth lamppost and three more stacks of red and white tyres on the left side of the track; once you have done so you will pass under another bridge (again, this was the one which had a Marlboro sign in Final Lap) before passing eight more trees, three more billboards with an arrow pointing in a left U-turn, a tall sign for Dunlop, two more grandstands, and two more stacks of red and white tyres upon both sides of the track, and you must then turn to the left as you pass sixteen more trees on the right side of the track. You'll now have to turn to the right as you pass an eighth lookout tower and twelve more trees upon the left side of the track, then turn to the left as you pass eight more trees, a tenth billboard that has an arrow pointing to the northeast, two more black-and-yellow chevrons which are pointing to the left, three more grandstands, a fifth lamppost, three more black-and-yellow chevrons pointing to that left, three more stacks of red and white tyres, a ninth lookout tower, twelve more trees, three more stacks of red and white tyres and two enclosed grandstands on the right side of the track - and once you have done so, you will pass under the third bridge for Dunlop before passing twenty-four more trees, five more lampposts, two more billboards with an arrow pointing to the north-west and four chainlink fences upon both sides of the track. You will now have to turn to the left as you pass three more stacks of red and white tyres and a tenth lookout tower on the right side of the track, then turn to the right as you pass two more lampposts, three more billboards with an arrow pointing up to the curved north and three more billboards with an arrow pointing to the east on both sides of the track; once you have done so, you'll have to turn to the left as you pass five more billboards for Casio on the left side of the track, then turn to the right, as you pass a twenty-fourth billboard that has an arrow pointing to the curved north, three more billboards for Bridgestone, three more stacks of red and white tyres and two more enclosed grandstands on both sides of the track, before passing under a fourth and final bridge for this very circuit. The text "LAP TIME X'XX'XX'. TIME EXTEND." (X'XX'XX' being your lap time) will then appear on screen and you will receive 50 extra seconds in which to complete another lap of the track - and once you have completed between three and six laps of the track (as in the original, this depends on what the arcade owner has set the "LAP" setting in the options menu to), that text of "RESULT" will appear upon the screen, with your position (1st-8th) below it, and your fastest lap time and distance travelled in metres will then be displayed below that. If your total time was lower than 3'35'40' (2'60' less than in the original), the game will go into "best-time" mode so you should enter your name on the track's "best-time" table with pride; once you've done so, the game will go back into attract mode. It is also worth noting that much like the original title, the sky will become darker, after every completed lap.
