Copyright [Cpyrit] =========================================================================== 1. Introduction [Intro] =========================================================================== Ok, so I took a bit of time off from writing (all right, a while), but I have decided to come back and give this another go. This time, I have decided to go in a completely new direction and try something I have never done before...a racing FAQ!!! Liek omg! So anyway, I chose to start off with this great little title, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. Let's find out a little about this game, shall we? Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero is, in my opinion, a highly underrated game. It is a fresh blast of new un-breathed air that takes us away from the classic same old racing doing laps around a track against 5 or 6 other guys. This is street racing. Illegal street racing, set on the highways of Tokyo, where some of the best racers ride. Now this isn't the quarter-mile-ten-second -drag-racing that became so popular after the Fast and the Furious was released, this is high speed minute long races dodging traffic and sliding through corners. Quite fun. =========================================================================== 2. Version History [VerHst] =========================================================================== .70 - Did just about everything. Next update I will add the Wanderer List and Requirements section. Also will be adding all the minor details I missed out on in this update, especially in the tuning guide. =========================================================================== 3. Controls [Contrl] =========================================================================== Button - Control Left Analog Stick - Turn Left/Right, Horn [Press IN] Back Button - Not Used Start Button - Pause Game Square Button - Brake X Button - Accelerate, Confirm [Menu] O Button - Reverse Triange Button - Change View Right Analog Stick - Turn Signals, 4 Ways [Press IN] R1 Button - Upshift R2 Button - Flash Highbeams L1 Button - Shift Down L2 Button - Show In-Car View D-Pad - Turn Left/Right =========================================================================== 4. Basics of Racing [BascRce] =========================================================================== So you got the game and now you want to learn how the right way to race and everything in-between. Geez, people today are so damn demanding. Well I guess I can teach you a few things. Heh, might as well teach you a lot. I'll explain just about everything there is to know about racing in TXR0. Just sit there and read this, and you'll be racing like a champ in no time. Well, maybe in a little time. The HUD ------- Have you ever heard of the Heads-Up-Display, or HUD for short? Well if you haven't or you have and don't know what it is, then read this and I'll explain it all to you. The HUD is basically the display of stats, etc. during a race or time trial, etc. It displays everything from time, to maps, to distance, and all other sorts of neato info. Did I just say "neato"?? God I need to get out more...Anyway, lets go over all the different parts of the HUD you see during a race in TXR0. - Your/Rivals Speed Points - These are the two long bars stretching across the top of the screen that show the amount of Speed Points you and your Rival have left. Speed Points are basically equal to Hit Points in an RPG or Adventure game. Speed Points are litterally a kind of health in a race. Your meter will deplete if your Rival is ahead of you, and vice versa. When either of the two meters run out, that racer loses and the race ends. - Your Battle Name - Your Battle Name, simply put is a nickname given to you by the other racers, depending on how you race and if you usually win or lose. This name is displayed right below your Speed Point meter. Your battle name will change throughout the game depending on your driving manners or sometimes the way you match stickers with cars. - Your Sticker - This is shown below your Battle Name. It shows the current sticker which you have displayed on your car. - Odometer - This is displayed below your sticker, next to the word "ODO". The Odometer shows the total amount of miles you have driven in your current car. The further you drive, the higher this meter will read. Your Odometer will mostly be used to count your mileage until you reach 1864 miles. This will be determined in a later section(see parts list). - Trip Meter - This is displayed right under the Odometer. The Trip Meter shows the total amount of miles you have driven on your current trip since you left the garage. I don't think I really need to go into that detailed of a description for this. - Course Map - Displayed below your Odometer and Trip Meter, this is the map of the current sections of highway that you are traveling on. The course map is mostly used for finding Rivals and knowing which parts of the highway you are traveling on and traveling to. Rivals that you have not raced against are shown as a blue arrow. Rivals who you have defeated are green arrows. Rivals that have defeated you are shown as a purple arrow, and rivals currently racing you are red arrows. - Tachometer - The big round meter displayed under your rivals sticker, this shows how many RPMs your engine is revving to. RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute. Simply put, this shows how fast your engine is revving. - Gear Display - The number shown in the round circle right inside the edge of the tachoemeter, this shows the current gear your car is in. The gears are R for Reverse, N for Nuetral, and 1-6 for each individual gear. - Speedometer - The set of numbers to the immeadiate left of the Gear Display, shows how fast your car is currently traveling in Miles Per Hour. The numbers increase as your car travels faster and faster. Not much of a detailed description is required for this. =========================================================================== 5. Game Modes [GmeMds] =========================================================================== Wondering what all the different modes of this game are? Well then read on, my friend, read on!! - Quest Mode - Instruction Book Description: Try to rise to the top by seeking out and racing rival drivers on Tokyo's Highways. - Quick Race - Instruction Book Description: Attempt to defeat 100 rivals with- out regaining your SP! - Time Attack - Instruction Book Description: Race through a particual couse as fast as possible. - Free Run - Instruction Book Description: Freely drive around Tokyo's highways. - Versus (VS) - Instruction Book Description: Race against a friend (2 player split screen). - System - Instruction Book Description: Change Key assignments, load and save games, and change game settings. - DVD Extras - Instruction Book Description: Watch the trailer for "The Fast and the Furious" and the "Night Warrior" documentary. =========================================================================== 6. Quest Walkthrough [QstWlk] =========================================================================== The First Half -------------------- Ok, so you decided to get started on your very own quest to the top of the illegal street racing world. Congratulations, you picked a fine career. So, you learned how to drive, got your license, and you're ready to start burnin rubber and takin down rivals left and right. Whats the first thing you should do? Buy a car! Now a lot of people will tell you to buy a lower class car and put a lot of money into it and you'll have a great car. Well let me tell you something. Don't listen to that person. Honestly, you will be much better off buying an A Class car and putting little money into it and have a much better car that you can take through almost ALL of your quest. So therefore the first thing you should do is head to the A Class car shop. Welcome to the Car Shop! Here is where you can buy all sorts of cars from tons of different companys. All of the cars go by a code name, so if you want a certain make or model, you'll have to know it by look (or just check out the car list in this FAQ). There are only about two cars that can be purchased from the start, so you don't have much of a selection right now. Check the car list for the info on both of the cars and make your choice for your first car. Ok, so you got the car and now you're in the garage. What should you do with the little bit of money you have left over? You can either buy a part or two and put it into your car, or you can save it for when you have more money so you can buy bigger and better parts. The first thing I bought was a cheap exhaust, or you can go with some Aero parts to lighten up the car a bit to improve acceleration, but I'll leave that choice up to you. Alright, you either bought a new part or decided to save up your money. Now my friend, you are ready to race and start takin down rivals and bringing in a nice cash flow. Go out and do a few races, beat a few rivals, and when you either: 1. Have enough money to buy some part upgrades or 2. Have become tired of racing Then come back to your garage. Once you're back, buy some parts for your car. The best parts to upgrade at the start are Power, Drivetrain, and Aero. With power you will boost up your HP, with drivetrain you can upgrade your Transmission, clutch and tires, which can all improve your acceleration and tires also improve how well your car handles and takes corners. If you upgrade the Aero you can make your car lighter which further improves acceleration and handling. Now go back out, do some more races, blah blah blah. Once you beat a few Rival Gang Leaders, you should start to be challenged by members of the Gang called the 13 Devils. These guys can be pretty tough, and they should be, since they are pretty much the kings of the highways at this time. Keep taking down leaders and 13 Devils, maybe racing some wanderers here and there. Upgrade your car more and more as you make more and more money. *Note*I suggest that for at least this first half of the game you keep your original car and upgrade that to the max. You will most likely be better off with your first car upgraded completely then you would with two or three new barely upgraded cars.*End Note* After you beat a certain amount of Devils, a new section of the highway will open up. I suggest going through it a few times, but stick mostly to the original parts of the highway for racing now, or at least for a while until you beat most of the gangs there. Just keep on racing rivals and beating the gang leaders, and taking down the 13 Devils as you go. Before you know it, you will have beaten all but one Devil. Now, prepare to face the current King of the highway... Speed King. Beating the King -------------------- Alright, so all but one of the 13 Devils has been defeated, and now you have been challenged by the one and only, Speed King. Let me start off this section by saying one thing...this guy is so fast your pants may be blown off while racing. Now that that has been said, let me give you a bit of advice for beating this insanely fast fat 40 year old. So the race has started and Speed King took off like a mad mother trucker. Now you're scared right? Are you thinking something along the lines of "LIEK OMG THIS GUY IS FAST IM DEAD WOWZOR!!"?? Ok good. You basically cannot beat this guy by just giving it your best shot. First, make sure you race as close to perfectly as you can every time you race him (yes you will most likely have to race him at least two or three times). Next, just wait it out until he messes up badly and you win by a lot. Trust me, this guy will mess up eventually, and when he does you will almost definitely win. Just make sure you don't mess up after he does =P After you finally beat him and win a nice big wad of cash, exit to your garage and SAVE YOUR GAME before anything happens and you have to redo that entire race with him. Now you have the option of buying Speed Kings fully customized car. Buying it is up to you, but let me say that if you don't buy this car, you are actually very stupid and need a bit of help. Ok, so you bought the car, right? Now watch the credits and start to cry because you're so happy you beat the game. Wait, whats this? The game isn't over? WoW!!! Alright, onto the second half of the game!!! WOoohoo!!!....Please excuse that sudden outburst. I will be serious from now on in this FAQ. The Second Half -------------------- Alright, we got an incredibly fast new car, upgraded our first car as far as we possibly can for now, and now you want more. Well you're in luck, because a whole new load of gangs and rivals have just come out for some action. You're basically going to be doing the same thing now as you were in the first half, only new rivals and new sections of the highways. Just keep beating rivals and leaders, and you'll start to be challenged by The Zodiac club members. They are simply the 13 Devils of the second half. You'll be challenged the same way, sometimes one right after the other, so always be at your best. Just keep racing over and over, and don't give up until you finally beat them all. Trust me, even when it seems like you'll never win, you'll finally come into a race and they'll mess up and you'll win by a mile. After you beat all but one Zodiac, you'll be challenged by the last and final Zodiac and current king of the streets... White Charisma. Beating White Charisma -------------------- So whats the deal with this White Charisma guy? Well simply put he is the very suped up version of Speed King. This race will be just the same as Speed King, only maybe a bit harder or longer. Just keep racing him over and over until he screws up and you'll beat him easy. He may be super fast and super skilled, but he is also super clumsy sometimes. Well, you raced him about five times, you finally beat him, won another huge ass amount of money, and now you're so happy because you finally beat the game. Well not what should you do? STOP CELEBRATING!! THE GAME STILL ISNT OVER YET!!! The best thing to do now is get to knocking off some of the wanderers that you've met along the way. Check out the Wanderer List and Requirements section for info on all of them. Once you get almost all of them defeated, you will probably want to get the last upgrades for your car and/or cars. I know you're saying to yourself "But I already bought the best of everything there is!" Well, sorry to tell ya but ya didn't. In order to get the last sets of parts you need to meet a few requirements. To get the final parts available, you have to have at least 1864 miles on the CAR YOU WANT THE PARTS FOR. Not just one car to unlock the parts for all cars, you need 1864 miles on every car you want the parts for. Now I know you're flipping out throwing things wondering how you will ever get that many miles. Easy. Go out and do a race, and when you come to the screen that has a few options like Free Run, Exit to garage, etc. just put the controller down and go do something else for about a day. Go sleep, party, do whatever for a while. Alright, you're back and ready for those new parts. Get back into the game and check your odometer. If its at 1864 or over, then head back to your garage. If its under 1864, let your car run on auto pilot again for a while. Once you have 1864, go to your garage. Once in your garage, press the R2 button and a page with User Info should come up. Look down towards the bottom to where it says DISTANCE. Make sure this is over 1864 miles as well. If not, go race again!! When it is over 1864, come back to the garage again. Alright everything is over 1864 miles now, right?? GOOD! You now have some more Power upgrades, as well as a few others. Upgrade what you want or can afford, then head back out to finish off all the rest of the wanderers. Yes I know the requirements for a lot of them are very annoying to do, but you want to finish this game, don't you?? #400 -------------------- Alright, 399 rivals have been defeated. Only one left to race. Now, you should know that when you see how fast this guy accelerates, Speed King, White Charisma, and rocket cars will seem like old guys with walkers. Yes, he IS that fast. But if your car is maxed out and you have enough patience, you CAN beat him. Just continue to race him until he finally screws up and gives you the win. You beat him? Good job! Now my friend, you can cry. Yes, you have finally beaten the game!! Woohoo!! Now go buy some more cars and max them out! I'm sure you have MORE than enough money by now!! Even though your quest is complete, that doesn't mean its time to toss this game on the shelf just yet. Try maxing out every car, and try out all the other game modes. =========================================================================== 7.
