- A brief intro to this FAQ. Shinya and I decided to put this puppy together in
order to aid all the helpless souls that wander(no pun inteneded)
the SB2, GameFaqs message board. Without your questions and whining about not
having a FAQ, this might not have been written. Either way, please
go easy on us as this is our first FAQ. I hope you enjoy it and more
importantly find it helpful in your race around Tokyo. Happing racing!

[Question and Answers]          |
================================

Here I seek to answer a bunch of common questions and problems invovling SB2.


Q: Why Does the Game freeze up when I try to save?

A: There could be a number of reasons for this. It depends on what kind of
system you are using to play the game. If you are using
an Asian terriotry Dreamcast it shouldn't be a problem. If it is, then your
game is screwed up and you should go complain to your importer or genki.
If you are like me and using a modded US DC then the problem is probably in
your VMU. You may want to try switching VMUs each time you save. If this a
problem
never save by quiting, instead make sure to save through the system menu ( one
to the left of the exit button). FI you are using the boot CD to play either a
copied
or imported version of the game, check with the website where you burned the
boot CD from, they might have a newer version which will work fine with the
game.


Q:How do I unlock the rest of the track?

A: There are two bosses you must beat in order to unlock the whole track. One
is a NSX and the other is (I believe) and RX-7.
Check the wanderers and boss guide section for more
specifics.


Q: Are there any non-japanese cars in SB2?

A: Yes quite a few, see shinya's list for the models and their corresponding
game types.


Q: Is it possible to race two Cars at the same time?

A: No. But you can drive by other rivals while in a race, it does absouletly
nothing though.


Q: Where do I get the good Porsche? You know the 911 Turbo?

A: You have to beat Zero, the boss from TXR1. You'll find him.


Q: Is there really an M3 in the game?

A: Yes. Keep looking. you need to beat everyone in Justice Gang for it to
appear.

Q: What's the deal, why should I waste money on modifications that don't up the HP of my car?

A: Quite simply, there's a lot more to racing than just a fast car. You'll often find that even with
a high HP you still lose races. You need to invest in modifications that improve the handling and control
of your vehicle in order ot maximize your performance. So, spend that dough on sometihng besides HP enhancers.


Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] with your questions. I
will do my
best to answer them, and put them in the next version.


================================
[Tips,Tricks and Cheats]         |
================================

-Yes. Tips and Tricks. Well, Let's start with the only real cheat for the game,
it works quite well, but it takes
just about all the fun out of the game:

[Win Every Time, no matter what, I promise]
(NOTE: Apparently this doesn't work with the US version of the game. Sorry)

First of you need two controllers, if you only have one stop reading.
Ok, plug a second controller into the second port of the DC.
Now start a race and after about 3 seconds hold down the L and R triggers on
the
SECOND controller then, still holding the triggers, press A. You will win
automatically.
To lose or draw subsitute A for X and y respectively.

[Turning Tip]

It's always better to bounce off a car than a wall. So if you find you have too
much speed
going into a turn, look for a car to bank off of. You'll save alot of speed
than if you had plowed into the wall.

[Clear Pause Screen]

To have a clear pause screen just hit X+Y simultaneously. Now you can take
screenshots!
(Thanks to Dave at cheatcc.com for this tip)
