0.0 Introduction
------------------------
This guide comes directly from my full guide that is in progress. That is
why it starts at Chapter 5.
========================
5. Bike Racing
========================
-------------
5.1 Overview
-------------
Every time you travel to a dungeon, you ride your bike. The first time you go
to each place, the game will switch to a side-scrolling racing game. Your
objective there, as in every race track in this game, is to reach the finish
line. WARNING: If you die while riding to a dungeon, the game ends.
Kochi is in charge of the Bike Garage in San Miguel.
Kochi gives you four options when talking to him. The first lets you customize
your bike. The second lets you rename your bike. The third lets you do time
trials and races on different tracks. The fourth option just lets you talk to
Kochi.
