Rad Racer II; 2023/12/12 AZL9S video
0AZL9S "fixed" video of Rad Racer II. This video had to be corrected due to audio sync issues of the original video.

This is a sequel to Rad Racer / Highway Star...though if you ask me, it's more of a downgrade. The first game is better as the roads can stay uphill or downhill if need be while this can't do that. It always goes up then down and back to normal. This game also only carries two BGMs (background music) while the first one had 3.
-
Anyway this game, like the first, also gets hard the further you advance. If you lose you start back to stage 1. One thing to note is that there's a certain traffic car that's red. These bastards become ANNOYING on later stages! They will try to block you by switching to whatever lane you are in.
-
You have to manage to get around them in order to pass them...though one strategy is if they happen to go at 240+MPH, it's better to just tail them instead of passing them. Reason why is because these guys, for whatever reason, don't let the other cars appear on the road meaning you don't have to worry about any other traffic unless you pass or lose sight of those red bastards.
-
I should mention that this game introduces the Power system. You can charge it up to get a rocket boost (assuming you time it right). You HAVE to come at a complete stop in order to initiate it first. Be careful using this because you will be at top speed when done right.
-
Like Rad Racer, I never beat this game legitimately. For this game, Stage 7 is the HARDEST stage even more than stage 8! That's insane! I could NEVER make it past Stage 7. Getting there was rare for past me due to Stage 5 & 6's BS getting in the way.
