3)What is City Trial?
---------------------------
In City Trial, you race around a city breaking boxes and collecting upgrades
(aka Patches), new machines, and parts to legendary machines. Sometimes, a
siren will go off. Be prepared, because an event is about to happen!
---------------------------
4)Events
---------------------------
---------------
A) METEORS!
---------------
Desc: This event is very rare. When this event starts, 2 or 3 HUMOUNGOUS
meteors will rain down on the city. After hitting, they explode!
Damage: These things will cause a lot of damage to anyone that gets hit by the
inital meteor or the blast. If you still have the Compact Star when the
event starts and you get hit, it will kill you unless you got a lot of defense
patches before (and I'm not even sure that small HP bar can take the hit).
Time: After the inital rain explodes, the event is over. Now wasn't that fun?
Effects: Be ready to swoop in to take any upgrades the opponents may have
dropped. Also, when the biggest meteor explodes, a ring of patches pop out.
Get there quickly, because an ALL PATCH may be waiting for you.
Checklist: 1, have the event happen 3 times.
---------------
B)Air Ride Fleet
---------------
Desc: Several different Warpstars will fly in and glide over the level.
Damage: They don't attack.
Time: They stay on for about a minute.
Effects: Fly into the machines to make them land. Then land, Down+A, and hop
on to your new machine! This event is good for getting that Swerve Star.
Checklist: None <_<
---------------
c)UFO
---------------
Desc: A giant UFO will fly in and pass across the city.
Damage: The UFO won't drop massive lasers or beam you up. Deals no damage.
Time: It makes one slow pass over the city, so it is a bit short.
Effects: If you manage to get on the UFO, expect to see a TON of Patches,
including at least one ALL PATCH! I've seen 4 all patches on the UFO >:D
Checklist: Couple of checks, but they aren't what you think. To get to the
top, head to the volcano with the station and grind that rail (check 1). Use
the jump pad to launch yourself to the Air Garden (check 2). Then glide onto
the UFO and start taking Patches.
---------------
D)The Exalted Dynablade
---------------
Desc: The screen darkens, and Dynablade lands somewhere in the city. You know
that you have found Dynablade when you see a rainbow colored bird (think Ho-oh
except even larger :P)
Damage: He can swipe you with his wings for moderate damage, and he can land
on your head for damage.
Time: He usually stays in one spot around 30 seconds, and usually lands
twice.
Effects: Dynablade will drop Patches if you nail him in the head. Also, he
drops patches when he exits.
Checklist: 2 here. First, fly into Dynablade's head. This will unlock a
music track. Then, wait until he moves, then drive under where he is about to
land and let him land on your head for a check that gives a free check.
---------------
E)Boing Boing
---------------
Desc: Music changes. What happens is in Effects :P
Damage: None
Time: Not that long, or the music + the annoyance factor would REALLY get on
your nerves.
Effects: Whenever an item lands during the music, it bounces! Any items that
were on the field before the event started won't bounce, but if you break a
non-bouncing box, its contents bounce!!!
Checklist: If you collect 500 items, you unlock the music for this event.
---------------
F)Catch that Thief!
---------------
Desc: Music change and the cat-like Tac appears.
Damage: POSSIBLY the only way you can be damaged is if you run into Tac with
little speed and no Spin.
Time: Usually about a minute.
Effect: If you attack him, he will drop food and Patches. He may even cough up
an ALL PATCH, so hit him repeatdly with your Spin.
Checklist:If you take 8 items from him, the music that plays during this event
is unlocked.
---------------
G)Fire at the Stations
---------------
Desc: Music changes, background turns reddish, and the stations catch on fire.
Damage: The fire does a lot of damage. Compact star gets destroyed in one hit.
Time: Lasts about a minute.
Effect: The rails can't be used. If you are unlucky enough to be on a rail
when the event starts, then expect some damage coming back. The mountain is
blocked by the fire from the station there.
Checklist: None
---------------
H)Fog of war
---------------
Desc: Music Changes, and the fog rolls in.
Damage: The fog deals nothing, but who knows what spikeys or bomb explosions
are waiting for you.
Time: Like most other events, expect a minute or 2 of this.
Effect: You can only see about 10 feet in front of you. All opponent/box
indicators turn off.
Checklist: Getting one of the checks will unlock the music that plays during
the event.
---------------
I)The Secret Area
---------------
Desc: A message appears saying the secret area in the castle is open. No siren
Damage: Guess...
Time: When the area opens, it stays open the rest of the game.
Effect: The tent in the castle opens, revealing several of a certain food or
patch.
Checklist: Enter the secret area for a check.
---------------
J)True or False
---------------
Desc: Some items that appear during the music will be different! Don't get
those.
Damage: Depends on the effect of the fake.
Time: Even after the music fades out, the fakes stay on in the city! They
dissapear eventually.
Effect: When you break a crate, check the shape of the Patches. If it looks
different from a normal patch, don't pick it up!!! Here are the differences in
the fakes:
Glide - Has yellow dots. Normal is solid white.
Top Speed - Streams at the bottom curve outward instead of inward.
Boost - Purple things are tilted
Attack - Top and bottom ends are more rounded.
Defense - White center
Charge - Battery thing is empty
Weight - Looks like a suitcase
Turn - No pointed arrow (think C)
HP - None
Checklist: None
---------------
K)Blast Off!
---------------
Desc: Drive around at uncontrollable speeds!
Damage: None
Time: About a minute of fast-paced out of control action.
Effect: Remember those items that gave you infinite turbo for a short time?
Everyone has infinite of that now.
Checklist: Getting under 21 seconds unlocks the music for this event, and the
distance you travel can help you get other checks.
---------------
L)Lighthouse
---------------
Desc: The day turns to light, and the lighthouse comes on!
Damage: Negative damage! :P
Time: Until the sun comes back, which is magically about a minute <_<
Effect: Drive under the lights to be healed.
Checklist: You can unlock the music for this event by busting Warpstar with
Swerve Star.
---------------
M)Surplus Items
---------------
Desc: What you get in one box is what you get in another box...
Damage: None, mabye negative if it is food.
Time: Minute, then boxes start spawning normal stuff.
Effect: All boxes will spawn a certain item, and only that item. There is
still different types of items among the colored boxes.
Checklist: If the boxes spawn Sushi or Maxim Tomatoes, add 1 check.
---------------
N)The Pillar
---------------
Desc: A big pillar spawns somewhere in the city.
Damage: If a few humans are playing, you might get quick spinned.
Time: However long it takes for you to bust it.
Effect: All this piller is is a MASSIVE box. It takes loads of punishment, but
when it pops, expect a TON of powerups to come. I don't think an ALL patch is
possible, but ya never know ;)
Checks: Destroying the pillar quickly and destroying it 5 times gives checks.
---------------
O)Bring Up My HP
---------------
Desc: A circle of light spawns in the city. No siren.
Damage: TONS OF DAMAGE, although it's all negative.
Time: Until you use it up or the end of the trial.
Effect: Drive over it to be healed. It's basically the lighthouse except the
lighthouse is time based and this one is heal based.
Checks: Did you run the regeneration pad out? Check ++ for you.
