RIDGE RACER

To play additional 8 cars:
Shoot down all the Galaxians at the loading screen.

Title screen magic:
At the title screen, hold either L1+R1 or L2+R2 (doesn't matter which one).
Now, playing with the buttons and the control pad will modify the logo.

Menu magic:
When selecting a car or track, playing with the L1 and R1 buttons will
rotate the objects at various speeds, even to the point of stopping.  Now
you can check out the nice car decals!

To save options:
You can save onto a memory card by going to the 'fastest laps' screen from
the menu.  Choosing 'Save' will not only save your scores, but the
additional 8 cars, the Galaxian 13, and the extra tracks.  Note:  To save
all these options in the same file, be sure to load the previous file
before adding options.  If you save a file with the 8 extra cars, for
instance, and get the Galaxian 13 without having loaded the file with the 8
cars first, you will now have one file with the extra 8 cars and another
with the Galaxian 13.

To get extra tracks:
Place first in all four tracks and you will have access to an additional 4 more.

To play mirrored tracks:
At the start of the game, drive a short distance and turn around.  Drive
straight through the wall (be sure you've got some speed) and you will be
on the mirror track.  With 8 normal tracks, the mirrored versions make for
16 tracks altogether.

To play the Galaxian 13 (Black Lamborghini):
Place first in the first four tracks.  Play the T.T. track again, and you
will race against two other cars, one being the Galaxian 13.   Finish in
first place and the Galaxian 13 will be yours to drive.  Note:  You may let
the Galaxian 13 pass you in the first lap.  It will stop on the side and
wait for you to enter the second lap.  On laps two and three, however, *do
not* let it pass you.  Tip:  Learn to drive the track without hitting
anything.  It can be done.  Don't worry about swerving and blocking the
Galaxian 13.  Drive perfect and you will win.  The #6 Galaga RT Carrot is a
good car to use.
