This is a bit of an interesting game. The whole game is viewed from above a
maze of rooms which contains smaller mazes. There is no gas or brake buttons.
It's sort of like Pac-Man except you have to avoid the other cars and simply
try to collect all of the items in the level. So now with the basic concept of
the game down, let's get a little more in depth. We'll begin by quickly going
over the Heads Up Display [HUD].
__________________
| | The Score is in the top left corner. The goal is to have
| SCORE ROUND# | as high of a score as possible. The round is obvious, what
| | stage you're on. You will advance through rounds by
| | collecting all of the items in each round. The bottom
| | left is how many lives you have which is self-explanatory.
| | The bottom right is fuel which I will explain in more
| LIVES FUEL | depth below.
|__________________|
The fuel is a major key to pay attention to as you progress through each round.
It is in the bottom right corner of the screen. You run out of about three fuel
per second. You also have a turbo button which you can use by pressing A. Your
fuel count obviously drops at a much more dramatic rate when you use it. You
lose roughly ten fuel per second while you use turbo.
The other cars will drive around aimlessly when they are far away from you.
When they are close they will try to hit you. There really isn't a way to
destroy them so you just have to do your best to try to avoid them.
The map to this game is probably the most innovative part of it. You will
notice around the room there is breaks in the outter wall. You can go outside
through these breaks and enter the larger map. You are the torquoise color dot
on this larger map. The other moving dots are other cars. The flashing dots in
rooms are the items you have to collect. You can enter the rooms with the items
by going into the break in the walls at those rooms. All you have to do is
collect all of the items in the map to complete each round.

As explained in the above section, the goal of the game is to collect all of
the items in each round. When you exit the first room, take a look at the map
and where each item is in relation to each car. I generally try to collect all
of the items that are right next to each other. Try to move as far away from
the other cars as possible to start and collect each item.
Each round will have a fuel tank in it and it will always be in a room with an
item. Another important item to keep an eye for is the question mark in each
round. You will notice four dots surrounding the question mark. When you hit
one of the dots, the item will turn into a bomb. Collect all of the dots around
that item and then the item will turn into money again.
Another important strategy is to remember when to use Turbos. Pay attention to
the enemy cars behind and ahead of you. If you see one behind you and another
that may approach you from ahead of you, then use your turbo boost just to get
out of the situation. Be careful though because you don't want to use it too
often or you will run out of fuel and die.
The other cars are basically invincible in this game meaning if they catch you,
you're done. There is no way to stop them from crashing into you and causing
you to lose a life. When you enter the larger map where you will be a small
dot, try to stay as far away from them as possible. They go the same speed as
you so you don't have to worry about them catching up unless you screw up
making a turn somewhere.
This game is actually incredibly straight-forward and doesn't really have much
else to talk about. As I have stated before, the goal is to collect all of the
items before you run out of fuel and while avoiding all of the other cars on
the track. It's not too difficult since you have plenty of fuel and they drive
at the same speed as you so just collect them patiently and don't make costly
mistakes just to save some time if you don't want to die.

The point of this game, like pretty much every game with no story line, is to
try to achieve as many points as possible throughout the game. Below is the
point value of each item in the game. You also get 10 points for each fuel
count you have remaining at the end of each round.
Checkered Flag - 0pts
Fuel - 0pts
Orb - 100pts
Dots - 100-200pts
Money - 200-500pts
