-+- 1. Introduction -+- [1000]
==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=

Super Off-Road is an off-road game created for the Sega Master System. It has
a bird's eye view camera system as well as being one of the first off-road
games of its kind. There are eight tracks in all. If you win all eight of them
without losing more than two times, you win the game!

This FAQ is designed to help walk you through the game by providing a map of
every race track in order. Also listed are the possible upgrades. I hope you
find this guide helpful for this obscure, yet retro off-road game.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

[Q] Why do I keep spinning out of control?

same time.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

[Q] Does this game support two players?

[A] If you have two controllers, you can race a friend.

Tips: Don't use Nitro here. If you just accelerate, you won't
ever spin out of control. The AI isn't too smart so you
should win this with ease.

Tips: Lots of straightaway tracks here so Nitro might be slightly
useful. Watch the pits and hills as you round about the
curves and such.

Start Point

Tips: This is one of the easiest maps of Super Off-Road. Why? Well, the
main reason is the computer's stupid AI. Much of the time, the
AI will get stuck in the area where the water is. If you are a good
driver, you shouldn't even touch that water. Clearing the big hill
is tough but with a Nitro boost, it should be simple.

Start Point

Tips: This is a really strange level, but it is meant to resemble a
figure eight. There isn't any barrier in the middle but if you
decide to try to shortcut it, your lap won't count. You have to
go straight forward and then around the curves. It's a bit
confusing.

Tips: The big hills on this track are a total doozy. It is possible
to jump the water pool by quickly using Nitro and pulling back.
However, that sometimes fails so just go through the water.

Tips: This is a fairly easy course. The only difficulty you might have
will probably be the many moguls and ramps throughout this track.
Note the unique water hole in the middle. Don't even try to take a
shortcut through this as it won't work.

Tips: This is a strange track which needs some practice before you can
really get it altogether. Watch the water holes and the bumps in
rear. They can really get to you.

Tips: This last track is really pretty hard. Use the barrels to stay on
the correct track and make your way through the moguls carefullly.
The hills can seriously become a doozy. This is the last track and
if you won, congratulations!
