Oops, ran out of room. In summary... Gameplay: Smooth and works great. B button gives gas, Y for turbo. Be careful not to hold Y for too long or you'll bike will overheat. If you collect coins on the track (at least 5), you can then use turbo indefinitely until you wreck you bike. Music and Sound Effects: There is no in game music unless you collect 5 coins, then an upbeat song plays. Good sound effects from the hum of the bike to the character voice samples to the overheating bike sound. Replay value: High, if you enjoy trying to beat your high score (my best is 400,080). It's also a very fun racing game in general. There is both Japanese text and English text in the game, which doesn't affect playability at all. Overall letter great: 'A' Excellent game.

In the solo races, the more laps you complete, the higher your score becomes. In the competition race, the place you finish in after 5 laps gives you a certain score. Both are really fun and addictive. Coming in 1st can be a challenge. In between the 4 courses, there are bonus rounds that add onto your high score. One is a ramp game, where the farther you go, the higher score you receive. The other is a ghost jumping game, where the more ghosts you jump, the more points you receive. You also earn points for your total score by picking up coi
