This is the third guide that I have written in aid of the SMS Completion Project at GameFAQs. The project aims to have a complete FAQ written for every Sega Master System game ever released.

MISSION : This is the transmission. MT is Manual Transmission. You will need to manually move between the Low and High gears by pressing up and down. AT is automatic transmission which means you won't need to change gear, it will be done for you. OIL : Increases top speed by 10 km/h. TURBO : Turbos will increase your maximum speed for a limited amount of time. You will have three of these on each stage, but buying one of these will give you a fourth. COST: 500,000 S.CHARGER: The SuperCharger is similar to the turbo. However, rather than giving you a power boost for a limited period, you will have a permanently more powerful vehicle (well, just for one stage). COST: 2,000,000 TYRE : Upgrading the tyres will allow you to handle your vehicle better. You will be able to go around corners faster as well as switching lanes with relative ease. COST: 30,000 BUMPER : Upgrade your bumper and you will have to hit the criminals less than you normally would. So this is a sort of weapon upgrade.

You will have to make your way through bendy roads and traffic to reach your goal. • You will have an initial 60 seconds to catch up with the villian. Once they come into sight, you will be given an additional 60 seconds to apprehend them. • Start off in Low gear. Once the rev-counter has maxed out the red line, gear up to High by pressing up. • Once you have caught up with the perp, you will need to ram them numerous times with your own vehicle. If you ram them from behind, you will be slowed down an your target will get away. For best results, try and smash into the side of them. This will won't slow you down, so you can easily move in for more hits. • When you crash into the villian's car, you will bounce back off of it. This can easily knock you off of the road, so try to plan your attacks carefully. Hit usually work well whilst on straight bits of road. • Driving off road will slow you down. If you crash into any of the obstacles at the side of the road you will spin out. When this happens you should gear down so that you can get back to speed quicker. • Sometimes the road will split and you much choose a direction to go in. You should follow the flashing arrow on-screen. Ignoring this will make it take longer to catch the villian. • You will have three "lives". If you run out of time, hit the start button to use up a life. You will then be given another 60 seconds to catch the criminal. Once you are out of lives, you will get the GAME OVER screen. • On each stage you will have three turbos available for use. Unless you buy an extra one, in which case you will have four. You should try your best to catch the criminals whilst retaining a couple of these. However, I would suggest using one of these at the start of each stage (after you have built up enough speed to make it worthwhile). The beginning of the stages are generally easier and there are less vehicles and bends to navigate. • On occasion you will find obstacles actually on the road. Crashing into these won't cause you to spin out, but you will lose speed. • As a general rule, I try to purchase Oil, Tyres and a Bumper on the upgrade screen. This will allow you to save up for the SuperCharger for use on Stage 5. • If you look at number 3 in the Game Screen section above, you will see that this diagram shows how far you are away from the criminal. You are the yellow dot and the criminal is the red. • Once you have completed Stage 5, the game will loop around and you will be back on Stage 1. However, you will retain your score and you can keep on playing until you have lost all of your lives. S c o r i n g ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ You will be able to purchase upgrades with the points that you earn. For every car you pass you will gain 200 points, plus a chain bonus. Pass 1 car : 200 points Pass 2 cars: 400 points Pass 3 cars: 600 points And so on. So for passing three cars you will earn 1200 points. If you crash into a car, this chain bonus will reset. For each stage you will be given a Clear Bonus. This is a set score for finishing the stage. You will also be given a Time Bonus. For every spare second that you have, you will earn 5000 points. Example: Clear Bonus - 100000 Time Bonus - 50 x 5000 Total - 350000 You will now be able to spend these points on upgrades. _____________ _____________ \ /| |\ / ) |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| ( / | 5) S t a g e s | \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|______________________________________________________|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ S t a g e O n e ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ VILLIAN: Ralph the Idaho Slasher VEHICLE: Lotus Espirit You won't be able to purchase any upgrades for this stage.
