Guide =============================================================================== Road Trip a Racing-RPG-Adventure and part of long-running game series based on miniature collectible cars known as Choro Q. Over twenty Choro Q games have been made, and sadly, only a handful have been localized outside of Japan. Road Trip, known as Choro Q HG 2 in Japan, is easily the best title in the series. Congratulations on discovering this little-known gem! Enjoy the game! =========================================================================[@101] Getting Started ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When starting a new game, you'll be prompted to enter your name, and a name for the kind of currency you'd like to use. For example: Name: The Stig Currency: £ After listening to the president talk, leave the Q's Factory and enter the Parts Shop, left of the factory. You have $1000 to spend. Buy the Quick Steering Wheel and the Panther Engine. These are the best parts you can get right now. Once you buy the parts, leave the shop, head southeast until you see a house on your left with a Coffee sign. Enter the building and accept the offer. You now earn $10 for every mile you drive. To claim your money, simply return to the coffee shop. Go back to the Q's Factory and equip the parts. Now enter the Peach Raceway race and win 1st place two times, for a total of $600. Now head southeast following the signs that say Next City. Eventually you'll cross a bridge. Now you're in Fuji City Enter the Q's Factory on the left side of the road (allowing you to warp between the two towns). Exit the factory and go to the parts shop. Buy a Light Chassis. Now find the Noodle Shop where you'll get a new billboard. Go back to the Q's Factory and equip it and your chassis. Enter the Ninja Temple Raceway race and win it. Once again, follow the Next City signs and get on the freeway. Take off on the My City exit on the left. Drive into the black and white building that says Wonder Realty. Answer yes, and you're now given a garage and the task of building a city. By talking to certain cars, you can send them to this city and they'll build houses in it. You'll also have a fan club. (If not, warp to Peach Town and win another race) Now by talking to the cars listed in the Teammates section of this guide, you can recruit cars to your racing team. I suggest you warp back to Peach Town, recruit two teammates, and then do whatever you want from here on out! The sky's the limit and you've only just begun your grand journey! But wait, you still want guidance? Here's a few playstyles to try: - Mixed Bag Don't spend too much time doing one thing. Vary your gameplay to keep from getting bored. This is the most enjoyable way to play. Just have fun, race a little bit, do some adventuring, take some pictures. Move on to the next town when you get tired of the one you're in. It should feel natural to you. - Coin Crazy If you want coins and nothing but, here's a suggestion: begin following the Choro Q coin guide and find as many as you can as early as you can. You'll get the great Big Tires after only 50 coins giving you a big head start on races. - Adventurer Forget racing, you want to see the world! Journey around and complete stamps and build a good collection of parts from gifts. This can be very beneficial earlier in the game. Refer to the Stamps part of this walkthrough for help on adventuring. - Speed Demon Adventuring is tedious and boring to you. You just wanna race. My suggestion is to spend more money on upgrade parts and less on looks. - Scrapbooking You can go to almost every Quick-Pic from the very start of the game. It's almost useless to do them all early on, considering there's no reward besides a single stamp for getting all 100, but if you just like to kick back and travel, this is the playstyle for you. =========================================================================[@102] Locations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peach Town ---------- "Town full of peach trees" Hierarchy: 2 Races: Peach Raceway, Peach Raceway II Description: Peach Town is the city you'll start your game in. It offers a limited selection of parts, but the races here are the fastest way to make money in the first half of the game. Peach Town also has a large number of good teammates to choose from, which will be invaluable early on. Fuji City --------- "City has a big castle" Hierarchy: 3 Races: Ninja Temple Raceway, Temple Raceway Fuji City is by far my favorite city to look at, especially from the mountaintop viewpoint. It has a decent selection of parts, some excellent teammates and a variety of things to do. Fuji City also contains one of the most frustrating aspects in the game: The Dreaded Maze. You may make it through once, but under 3 minutes is near impossible without a guide. Luckily for you, I sat down with some graph paper and mapped out the maze. Here's the link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/915200-road-trip/faqs/23595 My City ------- "Your own city to develop" Hierarchy: 10 Races: Endurance Run, Q's Rally My City is the most useful and complete city in the game. Basically, you tell people about your town, and they'll move there and open up all kinds of houses and shops. It has everything you'll need and will eventually become the hub for all activities and purchases in the game. It contains My Garage and innumerable mini-games and teammates. Plus, it's fun to watch your town grow and develop. My Garage --------- "Warp to your garage anytime" Hierarchy: 1 While your garage isn't a city, it's a very important location that you'll no doubt visit very often. It contains your email, wall patterns and lets you pick from a list of minigames you've encountered during your adventure. Sandpolis --------- "City of glaring neon lights" Hierarchy: 4 Races: Desert Raceway, Night Glow Raceway Sandpolis is the first big city you'll find on your adventure. It's packed with places to see and things to do, most importantly of which is the soccer mini-game. While you may find it easy to beat the computer, playing soccer against your friends is a blast. It can't be overstated; this is a big city. It may take you a while to find all of the houses here. Chestnut Canyon --------------- "City of steep rocky valleys" Hierarchy: 5 Races: Miner 49er Raceway, Lava Run Raceway Chestnut Canyon is a small village built on a range of mountain cliffs. There's not much to do here, but you can create a personal greeting that the townspeople here will use, which is kind of cool. Mine was "sup". Mushroom Road ------------- "Mushroom grows around the road" Hierarchy: 6 Races: River Raceway, Slick Track, Oval Raceway This small niche city contains only a few things, namely golf and a lake goddess, but no cars! Maybe it's just me, but the goddess reminds me of the waterfall fairy in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Anyways, the parts shop sells good tires, and there are three different races, but other than that, there's not much to do here. White Mountain -------------- "Mountain covered with snow" Hierarchy: 7 Races: Snow Mountain Raceway White Mountain is another large city that will take you quite a while to see. Marvel at the ski jump, practice curling and don't forget to be good for Santa. Yes, White Mountain has it all and a bag of chips. Here you'll find a plethora of teammates and useful parts, as well as some useful items such as the invaluable Coin Radar. Papaya Island ------------- "Island with natural beauty" Hierarchy: 8 Races: Sunny Beach Raceway, Lagoon Raceway When you're all stressed out from racing, take a relaxing vacation on the beaches of beautiful Papaya Island. Here you'll find exotic locales, as well as special parts and mini-games. Enjoy waterskiing and fishing in this island paradise. And when you're all rested up, catch a rainbow to Cloud Hill, the home of the president. Cloud Hill ---------- "Floating island with rainbow" Hierarchy: 9 Races: Tin Raceway Cloud Hill feels like an exclusive member's club in the sky. Certain items and areas won't be available until you complete almost everything in the game. But available right off the bat are some excellent teammates, great parts and cool bodies. Other Locations --------------- Windmills, Underwater Ruins, Grand Ocean These locations are more scenic than anything, but they do provide you with a few stamps. I've explored the ocean for hours and found no hidden secrets. =========================================================================[@103] Stamps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

After getting the relief go to the oriental town and see the actor (in a house), the actor in turn gives you his autograph.

Here's some info and tips on playing each of the minigames in Road Trip. Sliding Door Race Location: Fuji City Difficulty: *** Rules: At the start signal, start driving. The doors will open up as you approach them. Whoever stops closest to the edge is the winner! You won't see the goal until the door slides open! Highway Race Location: Fuji City Difficulty: ** Rules: Race at the clover shaped highway junction. Whoever makes 1 lap first wins. The roads are complicated so pay attention. Drag Race Location: Sandpolis Difficulty: ** Rules: It's a 400-meter track. Whoever crosses the line first wins. Tunnel Race Location: My City Difficulty: ** Rules: Whoever completes a single lap with the machines that have the same color and the same performance wins. Beach Flag Location: Papaya Island Difficulty: ** Rules: Beach flag is a 2-player game. You compete for speed and timing. You wait with your back towards the flag. When you hear the start signal, make a U-turn and GO. Whoever gets the flag below the gate first wins. Single Lap Race Location: Cloud Hill Difficulty: *** Rules: This city is the racing course. There will be only 1 lap, so pay attention! The race ends if you fall off the course. Treasure Hunting Maze Location: Fuji City Difficulty: **** Rules: Get to the goal in 3 minutes. Use this map: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/915200-road-trip/faqs/23595 Rock Climbing Location: Chestnut Canyon Difficulty: *** Rules: The rocky mountain is very steep. So you will not be able to climb so easily. Find the route you can climb. Climb in 2 minutes. Golf Location: Mushroom Way Difficulty: *** Rules: There are a total of 9 holes. Hit the ball by bumping into it, and try to knock it into the hole. All you have to do is drop the ball into each hole. Try to finish the course within or under the par. Par is a certain number of golf strokes for each hole. Roulette Location: Sandpolis Difficulty: N/A Rules: Pick where you want to bet. Enter the amount of your wager. You'll jump in the roulette in place of the ball. If you win, you get money. Figure 8 Location: Sandpolis Difficulty: **** Rules: There are 5 steps in all. Before the start, check a route. Aim for the goal, following the determined route. 5 seconds will be added to your time for each cone you touch so please be careful. Soccer Location: Sandpolis Difficulty: ** Rules: It is a 3-on-3 format. Whoever scores 3 points first wins. You'll be teamed with your racing teammates, so having good parts can be a benefit. Rainbow Jump Location: Cloud Hill Difficulty: ***** Rules: When you hear the start signal, choose the best position to accelerate! From there, accelerate and jump! Can you land on the floating island? Don't fall short or go too far! Obstacle Course Location: Papaya Island Difficulty: *** Rules: The course has many obstacles and jumps. Aim for the goal. You'll have to retire if you fall off a cliff or a waterfall. Which-way? Race Location: My City Difficulty: *** Rules: Remember the combination of colors on the color plates that appear while you drive along the course. They will lead you the right way when the road separates. Choose the road you think is the correct match. If you get it right, the course continues. You need to correctly choose all five roads within their time limit. Concentrate! Volcano Course Location: Chestnut Canyon Difficulty: ***** Rules: You have to make it to the toolbox in 1 minute 10 seconds! Don't fall! Tip: You need some of the best brakes and a lot of patience to complete this. I've received several emails asking how to do this, and there's really nothing I can say except practice, and if you're getting frustrated, take a break and come back to it later. Curling Location: White Mountain Difficulty: *** Rules: At the start signal, you can move forward to a white line. Once you cross the line your gas pedal and brake will not work. Steer yourself into the circle, as close to the bullseye as possible. Scores are: Red= 10 Points / White= 20 points / Blue= 50 points / Yellow= 100 points You can slide three times, and the total of those slides will be your score. Barrel Dodging Location: Peach Town Difficulty: ** Rules: Grandpa Tal's barrels will come rolling down the hill. You must dodge the barrels to get to Grandpa Tal's house. The white line is the goal. Ski Jumping Location: White Mountain Difficulty: * Rules: At the start signal, accelerate and jump. The distance from the jump ramp to where you land will be your score. Try jumping as far as you can. Fishing Location: Papaya Island Difficulty: * Rules: There are 30 fish in a section surrounded by a fence. Can you catch 20 fish without giving up? Chasing the fish is not the only way to catch fish; try waiting. =========================================================================[@108] About Teammates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you've won enough races, you'll gain a fan club, from which you'll receive emails at your garage in My City. The other benefit of gaining a fan club is the ability to select teammates from around the world to race with! At any time, you can have up to two teammates. They'll race alongside you, and if they place high enough, you'll earn extra winnings! Your teammates can be upgraded and modified with whatever extra parts you may have lying around. But beware! Every time you change their parts, they need a few races to adjust to them. Over time, they'll become more proficient with the parts and begin to race faster and smarter. Don't be surprised if you give them a better engine and they end up placing last; this is normal! Take them to a few easy races to increase their driving skills before tackling a tough race with their new parts. This isn't to say you should keep older parts on your teammates, just because they're used to them. Don't be lazy! When you find some great new parts, be sure to upgrade your teammates. A few Peach Raceway runs should only take a few minutes and your teammates will be better off in the long run. Skillful teammates have another useful benefit: they give your opponents some fierce competition and keep the heat off of you! =============================================================================== II.

The layout changes depending on which "Meter" item is equipped. For an explanation of the default meter: -RPMs: The numbers around the outside of the dashboard display your RPMs. -Fuel: On the right side is the fuel display. It'll decrease as you drive and eventually blink and run out, making your car drive very slowly. Entering any building will fill up your tank again automatically. Engines with a higher energy rating eat up fuel quickly. -Gear: On the left of the fuel display is a number that displays your current gear. -Speed: The large number on the bottom next to "mph" is your speedometer. This displays your current speed in Miles Per Hour (mph). -Time: At the very bottom of the speedometer is a clock. The number shows what time it is using 24-hour time. The picture on the left is a visual display of the time. =========================================================================[@005] Game Modes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the title screen when you turn on your game you have 5 Choices: Adventure: This is the primary single player mode in Road Trip.

Quick Race: Like it sounds- pick a course a race. 2 Player: Only appears if two controllers are plugged in to the PS2. If you and a friend both have saves on separate memory cards, you can pit your custom rides against each other in a number of different race types.
