Introduction
------------
I have been a fan of the Road Rash series since I was a kid, it's one of the
best racing games ever made. Great graphics, good music, fun gameplay, and
violence are what make this game the best. I wanted to write a FAQ for it
because there wasn't one out there and I know this game pretty well so go
figure!
**Note - I have tried to the best of my abilities to make sure that the
information contained within each table and or list in this guide is as
accurate as possible. If I have made any mistakes please email me with the
corrections**

Object Of The Game
------------------
The goal of this game is to battle your way through 5 levels, trying to place
4th or better to win money and advance to the next round. Each level becomes
harder though, as the enemies will have faster bikes, and the levels become
increasingly longer. You may do any damage to any other biker, which includes
kicking, hitting, running into/over and using a club to knock them from their
bikes. Be careful of the Cops, as they will Bust you if you crash within the
vicinity of one. You start the game with the Shuriken 400 Bike, and 1000$ in
cash.

The Racing Screen
As you begin to race, you may see all the little bars and other do-dads which
may not make sense right away. Well, here is what they do:
The Left Most Green Bar
This is your life meter. It has the player's name underneath it. It starts out
being green, and if you get punched by other riders it will then turn yellow
then red. If it is really low and red, and you get hit, you will fall off your
bike.
The Middle Green Bar
Underneath this meter reads Bike. This is how well your bike is holding
together. It starts out green, but will change to yellow and red as you crash
into things. If it gets past red, then you wreck and will be forced to pay a
hefty amount to fix your bike. This is THE most important thing to be aware of
in a race!
The Right Most Green Bar
This bar is the other riders' life meter. The name underneath the bar will
change according to who the closest biker is, as compared to you. This meter
will also change to yellow and red, and they will fall off their bikes if they
go below red.
There are 2 rear view mirrors, one beneath your name and life meter, and one
underneath the other bikers name and life meter.
Underneath the Bike meter is the speedometer. This tells you how fast you are
going. Also, in the middle of the speedometer are three little numbers telling
you how far you have gone in the race. See below for each races length.
Underneath the left side of the Right most green bar is a number ranging from
1 - 15. This is your rank in the level. You start at 15th.
Underneath the Ranking box is another time box. This one lists the time on the
track in which you have raced.
------
Basics
------
In the early races, before you have enough cash to buy a better bike, don't
worry too much about fighting people, just try to win the race
Be very careful of the Cops, if you crash in front of one you will be busted
and forced to pay a hefty amount of cash.
Watch out for cars. When going over a hill that you can't see over, stay on
the right side of the road.
Write down the Password often! I can't stress this enough, if you bail, and
lose all your money, then you will have to start from your last password or all
over if you didn't write it down!

Road Rash Stuff

**Hazards**
Throughout each level can be found various hazards which can cause you to lose
control of your bike. Here is a list of them.
CARS - These are the biggest problem, cars can be found on every level, going
both ways on the road. Be careful not to be on the left side of the road going
over a blind hill or corner. Cars come in 2 different colors: White and Yellow.
OIL SLICKS - These black slicks can be found on many of the levels, they are
usually located on the left, center, or right parts of the road and when you
hit them, you may spin out. Don't worry too much though, these don't usually
affect you too much.
SAND - These yellow sand clusters are pretty much the same as the oil slicks,
except they are sand. Again, don't worry too much about them.
DIRT - Too me, these look like gopher holes in the road. They don't seem to
have any affect on the bikes, so don't bother worrying about these.
ANIMALS - Deer and cows are the hazards in this category. Most of the time,
they are located off the road on either side, but sometimes will stand or lie
on the road. If standing up, when you hit them, it is like hitting a car, you
will fly off your bike and have to run back to it. If lying down, you can use
them as a jump to get some air!
ROCKS - The least of the hazards to worry about, rocks in the street or to the
side of the road will not cause any damage or wreckage. You can jump off of
these as well, but with smaller air than an animal.
ROAD WORK SIGNS - These are construction signs that are set up on the edges of
the roads. they are black and yellow in color and can pop up very suddenly. If
you hit one of these, you will wreck. Be careful of these!
BIKERS - This is of course the main thing to worry about while racing. Be
careful if bikers with clubs, most of these guys are mean.
**Wrecking**
Be careful not to crash too many times within a level, or you may damage your
bike so badly that it may cost a ton of money to repair your bike. Stay on the
right side of the road going over hills, stay on the road, and stay away from
cars.
**Cops**
These are the most annoying bikers in the game. They are invincible so they
cannot be knocked off their bikes or wrecked. On the other hand, they will do
anything in their power to wreck you.

Sierra Nevada
This is one of the hardest levels. Lots of sharp turns and cars as well. Keep
to the righ side of the road and be sure no to slide off the road around the
corners.
Pacific Coast
This level is pretty easy, with only a couple of corners to worry about. Other
than that, just watch for hills and intersections. Easy stuff!
Redwood Forest
Another hard level. this has lots of really sharp corners, blind turns, and
big hills. Be careful on this level, especially during the Swithback turns.
Palm Desert
A medium difficult level, a couple of sharp turns, but not too much going on
here. Near the 1.7 mile mark, becareful of a big jump, the road veers to the
right after the jump so be sure not to keep going straight. Other than that,
it's all good.
Grass Valley
The easiest of the levels, this one is mainly straight, with only a few
corners to be aware of. Has a couple of cool jumps too! Don't worry about this
level, even on the higher levels.
