1. How to get all 15 cars:
Shoot all ships in the Galaga 88 loading sequence and you will get
eight additional cars (like in Ridge Racer 1).
Beat the black Racing #13 car in Time Trial - Novice to get it.
Beat the black Racing Kid car in Time Trial - Advanced to get it.
Beat the White Angel car in Time Trial - Expert to get it.
How to get the Rally X cars:
While booting the game, press and hold L1, R1, Down, and Select untill
the Galaga 88 shooter starts. Now shoot with the Triangle button to
fire and a homing laser will destroy every ship for you.
After that, choose your track and car. Start the race and all cars in
Ridge Racer Revolution look like Rally X cars.
2. How to race a mirrored track:
If you want to race a certain track mirrored, accelerate after start,
turn 180 degree and crash with about 100 kmh through the wall at the
end of the tribunes.
NOTE: There's a big differnce between racing backwards and mirrored.
It's possible to race the Extra backward tracks mirrored. This
sums up to a total of 12 tracks in RRR Single Player Mode plus
the 8 (4 of them mirrored) RR1 tracks in 2 Player Link Mode.
3. Things that happen after winning the game:
After you've won Novice, Advanced and Expert, it's (like in RR)
possible to drive the tracks backwards (Extra Mode). After you have won
the Extra tracks, it's possible to adjust the daytime in the OTHERS
menu.
4. How to play the special "Slide Contest Mode":
Choose Time Trial in the SELECT menu. Put the cursor on START.
Press and hold brake (SQUARE) and accelerate (X) until the track
has been loaded.
At the first corner where you will have to slide the words SLIDING
POINT will come accross the screen. Slide the corner and you will
get a score (with a picture of the car from Ralley X going across).
Three factors will depend upon your score:
Your speed, how long you slide and where your car is pointing when you
get back grip.
The highscore will be remembered on the memory card (after saving of
course) for each track seperately.
5. How to slide:
T = Triangle
S = Square
O = O
X = X
(X) = X pressed
(T) = T pressed etc.
* = Pressure on directional pad
Turn into cornerdirection:

| . . . . . . . |_| (X)
| . o-o . ______
| . o-o . |
| . . . |
| . . . |
Now release the acceleration button (ca. 2/10 sec.):

| . . . |
and press imediately accelarete again. After you've pressed the acceleration
button, your car starts to slide. If you paused acceleration too long, your
car will slide too heavy. If you paused too short, your car won't slide.
If you've got the right time between releasing and pressing accelerate
again, only the back of your car will slide and it's easy to steer a little
to the left or a little to right to get back grip.

6. Two player link specials:
Handicap Mode on/off:
If Handicap Mode is switched to on, the player who is behind will
drive faster than normal.
Ridge Racer 1 tracks:
You are allowed to race the original RR tracks against a friend in
Normal and Extended mode plus the Extra backwards modes. Does anybody
have any idea how to access these tracks in single Player mode?
How to link RRR with only one copy of the game:
-Take a feather out of a biro and stick it between the "Cover closed
button" and the peg on the cover (like you would do, if you want to
perform the "swap trick") on PSX 1. Keep the cover open.
-Load the game and records on PSX 1 and start a track of your choice.
-Get out of the track back to the menu.
-Start the same track again and get out. Now the CD-ROM drive stops
spinning for a short time. Take the CD out of PSX 1 and close the
cover.
-Load the game and records on PSX 2.
-Get back to the title screen on PSX 1.
-Start "2 Player Link Game" on both PSX.
-Select the same track on PSX 2 you have selected on PSX 1.
NOTE: It's only possible to play one track and it's Extra version
with this method. It's impossible to access the RR1 tracks
without a second copy of Ridge Racer Revolution.
7. Little extras:
How to move and resize the spotlite in title screen:
Press and hold the L2/R2 buttons to move the spotlite with the
direction cross. Press and hold the L2/R2 buttons to rezise the
spotlite with SQUARE = bigger and X = smaller.
How to manipulate the view of a car or track in the selection screen:
Move up or down on the direction cross to change the angle of view
at track and car selection. Press L1 to rotate the car/track to the
left and R1 to rotate the car/track to the right. Press L2 to turn
the car's wheels to the left and R2 to turn the wheels to the right.
How to switch off the CD-Player bar in Music Player mode:
Press L1 for on and R1 for off.
How to turn off the rearview mirror:
Pause game (press start), press and hold SELECT VIEW (triangle) and
press L1 to switch the mirror off or press R1 to switch it on.
How to change the distance in behind car view:
Pause game (press start), press and hold SELECT VIEW (triangle) and
press L1 to increase the distance to your car or press R1 to decrease
the distance.
