Ridge Racer Revolution

360 Degree Spinning Mode

    Highlight the 'Select' option on the Pre-Race Screen. Hold down Square+X and select your track, car, trasmission, etc., using the START button. After making your selections, highlight the 'Start" option on the Pre-Race screen while still holding Square+X and SELECT, then press the START button to start the race. Keep holding everything until the race is about to begin. You will be asked to try 360 degree spins on some corners during the race, and your spinning skills will be rated 0-100. Cool.






8 New Cars

    To access 8 additional cars, you must destroy all the aliens in the Galaga '88 game that appears while loading.






Buggy Cars

    On the Galaga '88 screen that says 'That Is Galactic Dancing,' press and hold L1+R1+Down+SELECT. When the enemies start attacking, continue holding down those buttons and press the Triangle button. This will enable the homing laser. Once the actual racing begins, the cars will look like buggy cars.






Control Spotlights

    Hold down L1 and R1 at the Main Title Screen to enable you to control the spotlights. Use the directional keys to move lights. L1 and R1 must be held down at all times.






External View Zoom

    In external view, pause and hold down triangle and press L1 or R1 to zoom in or out. Press both together to reset.






Mirror Mode

    First, start a race normally. Next, drive a short distance from the starting grid and turn around. Now, with the solid wall in front of you, accelerate to 60mph and when your car hits the wall it will break through and you will be racing on an inverted (mirror image) track.






Race The Tracks Backwards

    By coming in first on all three tracks (Novice, Intermediate, and Expert) you will gain the ability to race them in reverse. Now who didn't already know that?






Secret Bonus

    If you let all 40 aliens pass by and get a score of 0 in Galaga '88, a single firework burst will go off and the words 'Secret Bonus' will flash on screen. Go to the 'Other' screen and you will now have the option to set the race setting from Normal, Morning, Evening, and Night.






Secret Tracks

    To access any of these Secret cars, finish first on the three regular tracks in Race mode, and then defeat the indicated car on its respective track in Time Trial mode. Hint: to keep any of the Secret cars from passing you, use your rearview mirror and hit the car as it attempts to pass you. This will slow it down considerably.
