Section 01 - History version
===============================================================================
Version 0.65
27/02/2006 - Humm, after more than a year without updates, I decided to start
working in this FAQ again and complete it. I just got some more driving tech-
niques from Kevin Grieve and the launch of Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast is near!
I plan to make a FAQ for it too so, it would be a nice idea to finish this one
first. There´s not much stuff left to do, so I believe that by the end of March
I´ll complete it. Besides the driving techniques, I also corrected some minor
errors and filled little things on the FAQ. Enjoy!
===============================================================================
Version 0.6
13/01/2005 - Well, first of all I removed that palmtree from the logo art. It
sounded kinda stupid. I added a new section called "Game Bugs/Glitches" that
contains... hummm... ahhh... You know what and I´ve added some suggestions from
several mails I got and the main reason I´m updating is to let you all know
that this guide isn´t dead and that I´m just not working hard on finishin it
because I have some college final tests and stuff of the sort, that is taking
much of my time. As soon as I finish them, I´ll finish this guide. Expect a new
update around 25-30 February. Special thanks for Gouki and Dodgymat for their
valuable help in this guide.
===============================================================================
Version 0.5
23/12/2004 - Yay, the first release of the FAQ. I hope it pleases most of the
people who reads it, and, as you may notice, it is quite incomplete. It has
all the sections of the FAQ that I intended to make (I may, and probably will
add some new sections in the future) but the Game Modes, which will have the
detailed descriptions about every stage, mission and stuff of the sort. That´ll
come in the next version. I don´t know if the next version will be 100%
complete, since there are LOTS of stuff to add, but I´ll work hard on it on
2005. Merry XMas everyone and happy new year!
===============================================================================
Version 0.1
12/12/2004 - Added the main layout to the guide and the basic sections.
===============================================================================
Section 02 - About this Guide/FAQ
===============================================================================
Hello there and welcome to my Outrun 2 FAQ! I´m not a professional Outrun
player or anything of the sort, so don´t expect an extremely detailed FAQ with
tips to get the highest scores, the best times and stuff of the sort. That is
not my intention. So far. Maybe in a distant future. I´ll add general
information, details, strategies, tips and some codes for the game. You can
expect a new version of the FAQ with more info, detailed strategies of the
missions and updates. I have no deadline to finish this FAQ entirely so I´ll
add new things once in a while. As you may notice, english is not my native
language, so you will find some spelling errors, some weird sentences and stuff
of the sort. I would be glad you could warn me of those mistakes and forgive
me for those mistakes. Thank you!

B - Driving Tips/Techniques
If I could give one tip for being a super-b driver in this game is Training. I
know it may sound dumb and obvious, but it is the only way to master this game.
It took me several hours to learn how to drive well. To be a professional in
Outrun 2 you need much more than hours of gameplay. As I am not a master Outrun
2 player, I never had the intention of making this FAQ to teach you how to
drive professionally. Now thanks to Gouki and Kevin Grieve, I´ve added more
enhanced techniques and strategies. Almost all of the following content was
provided by them! Thank you very much for your help, guys!
---------------------
| Starting Techniques |
---------------------
Note: There is a difference between starting methods, using automatic or
manual transmission.
Using Automatic Transmission: Hit the accelerator just in between the counter
says 1 and "start", for the fastest start. There is no difference between 5 or
6 gear cars in automatic. 6 gear cars are slower starters in automatic
transmission.
Using Manual Transmission: Now there is a big difference between 5 and 6 geared
cars.
- 5 Gear Cars: Hit the accelerator just in between the counter says 1 and
"start, for the fastest start.
- 6 Gear Cars: Before you start, shift to the second gear then make a rev in
between 6000 rpm while the counter hits "start".
Changing gears at the correct time is the next critical step to a great start.
Each car has its own particular rev point at which to change gear. There is
also a few different ways in which to do it.
1) Using the shift indicator light. By counting the number of flashes of the
light you can accurately judge when to shift gear. This method has its
drawbacks online as it seems to lag slightly but for TT it is fine.
2) By watching the speed of your car. Preferably out the corner of your eye as
it can be a pain negotiating the first corner on palm beach watching the
speedometer only to clip the wall.
3) Probably the best way is to watch the rev counter needle itself for it
almost reaching the terminal revs of the car.
------------
| Drifting |
------------
As you will notice, drifting is the most important technique that you need to
master in this game. There are to ways of drifting. One using manual, and the
other, automatic transmission. Using automatic transmission may be kinda harder
that using manual transmission.
To perform the drift, in first place, you need to be with a considerable speed.
100 km/h (~63 mph). The higher the speed you have, the better and faster is the
drift you make.
- Using automatic transmission: hold the accelerator at all time, steer into
the bend, quickly press the brake, then release it immediately. Then perform a
drift. It may be kinda hard to perform that, but with a little training you
will get it!
-Using manual transmission: steer into the bend, then, very quickly shift one
gear back to make your car slip in the road, start the drift in the direction
you want then shift one gear up again to avoid loosing too much speed.
Use multiple drifts. Sequences of curves don´t need multiple drifts. Simply
steer to the opposite side while drift to change your drift and maintain your
high speed.
Car handling while drifting: You can steer to the left and to the right while
performing a drift, to adjust the angle of the drift.
Try to drift as less as possible! I know it may sound contraditory, but try to
re-straighten your car as fast as possible after a drift. While drifting you do
not gain speed, so quit drifting as fast as you can to increase speed again.
----------
| Deadzone |
----------
This is something refered to but never fully understood. It is basically having
the wheels in a straight line while driving straight.
Catching the deadzone:
IE on the end of the carousel corner, on Metropolis where you slide around to
the left then need to flick right onto the straight most people just let the
car drift but it is possible with practice to get the car to exit its drift in
a straight line maximising acceleration, boosting the speed you approach the
next corner. It is achieved by counter correcting the car almost into its right
hand drift and at the correct time catching the deadzone ie letting go the
thumbstick. So as the car just drives off in the correct direction without
drifting. Another method of deadzone drifts are where you have a multiple
drifts and need to hug the inside line on both corners. This is an invaluable
little trick, especially on the very last corner of desert. You have had to
drift right on the kink at the top of the hill after the chicane and there is
not enough time to get the car straight to do another drift so you need to
carry on the drift in another direction but the car always runs out wide to the
verge sometimes scrubbing off speed. So, what can you do to stop this? Let go
the throttle? Press the brake? Nope! Get your eyes onto the car you are driving
on screen. When it is changing direction from drifting right to left there will
be a minute window of opportunity where the car will be straight on your
screen.This you will need to exploit and it will take a lot of practice as
timing is critical. Just as the car gets straight you need to change gear down
up. Just like you are doing a drift. IE 5-4-5. or 6-5-6. this will throw the
car into the corner violently and allow you to hug the inside line shaving
seconds off and allowing you to exit earlier and faster.
---------------------------
| Professional Car Handling |
---------------------------
To maintain higher speeds while performing a drift, there is a technique which
is called the feint steering method. This is a method to feint a steering to
the wrong direction to a bend, then immediately, steer into the bend, to
increase the angle of the car, steered into the bend.
You can perform this as following: when a bend to the right is approaching,
just before the bend starts, steer firm to the left (feint to the left), then
immeadiately staar firm to the right, so that the angle of your car, stays in
straight position to the bend. Just after you steered to the right, to go into
the bend, press the downshift button very fast and shift up again. Now you have
gained position to go into the right bend, so you don't have to drift as much
anymore, as you would normally do. This method will hold up speed more while
performing a drift.
-----------------------------
| COUNTER STEERING AND DELAYS |
-----------------------------
This is a method of unsettling the car prior to drifting to allow it
to accelerate it into the corner faster and tighter. By holding a tighter line
you are shortening the ammount of ground you need to cover and allowing you to
exit the drift quicker. This technique is achieved by approaching the corner
not parrallel to the road but aiming inwards toward the apex then applying full
opposite lock then full inwards lock in a rapid motion.
IE swing the nose out then in. Once this has been done the car will become
almost out of control its wheels will belch smoke now is the time to activate
the drift 5-4-5 or 6-5-6. If done correctly a visible kick will be given by the
car´s graphics on screen whereupon it will hug an unbelievably tight line
around the sharpest corner. It takes a lot of tie and patience to practise this
technique as a lot of it is to do with correct road position and timing of the
countersteer. But the rewards are the top of the scorboards.
--------------------------
| Gaining time in OutRun 2 |
--------------------------
Gaining time in Outrun 2: To gain a lot of time in Outrun 2, drive the shortest
way possible to the finish. Try to stay as close to the innerside of a normal
bend as possible.
While drifting: When performing a drift, make sure the front of your car is a
close to the innerside of the bend as possible, to save a lot of meters, which
is a lot of time!
---------------
| And remember! |
---------------
Being a superb driver in this game is training AND doing the mission mode. This
helps to remember the courses and how to take the bends correctly all the time!
===============================================================================
C - Profiles
The first time you play Outrun 2, you will be prompted to create a new profile.
Just put your name or nickname using the virtual keyboard and you are ready to
go. While in the main menu, you can press the X Button to access the profile
menu and create/delete/select the available profiles. When you move the select
cursor over each profile, you can see the play time, how many A/AA/AAA ranks
you got in Outrun Mission mode, how many cards you have unlocked of a total of
142 and how many of the 101 missions you have completed. The last profile you
use will be automatically selected the next time you play Outrun 2.
===============================================================================
D - Options
Pressing the Y Button while in any menu selection will bring you the Options
Menu. You can also press Start while in any race or challenge to bring you the
Options Menu. As you may notice, some options are just available when pressing
Y in the menu.
-----------------
| General Options |
-----------------
Sound Volume............Adjusts the sound effects volume.
Music Volume............Adjusts the music volume.
Brightness..............Adjusts the brightness of the game.
Arcade Difficulty.......Adjusts the difficulty for the Outrun Arcade Mode.
Speed...................Toggles between km/h and mph as the default speed unit.

--------------------
| Controller Oprions |
--------------------
Configuration...........Toggles between A to H Button Configs (Explained Above)
Vibration...............Swtiches on and off the controller vibration.
===============================================================================
E - Cars
Every race, challenge, time trial you go, you can choose several Ferraris, out
of a list of available cars. Some come already unlock when you start a new game
and some others need to be unlocked by achieving certain goals. You can check
how to unlock those cars in the codes and secrets sections.
And, as mentioned before, I am not a professional driver. I´ll just add here a
small profile of all available cars. The acceleration/handling is taken from
the car selection screen and the max speed is the real max speed when you are
actually driving.
And of course, you can choose several colors for the Ferraris in the car
selection screen by pressing the X Button.
All comments and years were provided by Gouki! Thank you!

Section 08 - Game Bugs/Glitches
===============================================================================
Outrun 2 may be a wondefull game, but it is far from perfect. It seems that
things slipped thru Sumo Digital and got into the final version of the game.
I cannot be 100% sure, but those problems are present just in the PAL final
and pre-release games. I´ll buy soon the US Final version and I´ll try to play
the Japanese version to see wether or not those versions have the same problem.
If you find another bug/glitch or if you have a different version of the game
that doesn´t have one of the listed problems, please, let me know about it!
- The 21/101 Bug
It´s not a big deal and this won´t affect your gameplay in any form. The bug
here is that, when you accomplish more than 21 missions in the Outrun Mission
mode, your profile will say that you have just completed 21 of 101 missions.
So don´t panic when you´re going to change your profile and see that you have
completed just 21 missions, when you actually did much more.
- Time Trial Route Scores not saved in PAL version
That is somewhat frustrating but, some people have complained about not having
their Time Trial Route Scores saved in their PAL versions. There´s nothing that
can be done to avoid this, so, if you really want to have those scores, suit
yourself with a pen and a piece of paper!
- Car Stuck on Outrun Challenge 20
This has happened to me once and it´s one of the most frustrating glitches in
my opinion. It happens on Outrun Challen 20, just when you are in half of the
course. It happens when you are on the Palm Beach stage (the first time) in the
part where you normally start the game (you are racing it backwards). I don´t
know exactly what it is, but it seems that your car falls thru the track and
gets stuck there. All your effort of about 15 minutes is wasted. You can´t get
out but you can normally exit the game or wait for the time to run out.
