Alright Goons, you suggested we say ‘Japanese cars’, in front of the same homicidal maniac Detroiters who violently destroyed our cars because they were manufactured in Japan. Clearly, the right choice.




: What? That's some guts! Hey guys! Go for it!!


: Damn! Let’s run!






Aaaand we're back at the map selection screen, tail between our legs….

You know, I don't know why Hiro is so afraid of these Detroiters? These guys seem pretty tame compared to the average thugs Hiro runs into in any given LA apartment building.

We can actually return to Detroit, but there isn’t much to see there anymore.





If you try and talk to anyone, Hiro simply says:


: I feel like the people around me are looking at me coldly

.

If you try to go to a shop, Hiro says:


: There are some, but they only sell American cars. It doesn't seem like it

.

Now, let's rewind time a bit, and see what would have happened had we chosen American cars.





: I guess so. I guess so. If you say it's a Japanese car, I'll beat you up. I was thinking of doing it.


: You're quite good at understanding things, aren't you?


: We don't do zero-yon here. I'll tell you something good


: In America there is a man called the US King. It's incredibly fast on all courses. Well, maybe it's the best in the world.



Woah, this game has a ‘The King’ too? Specifically the US King? This must be the final boss.


: The reason why it's so fast is. Dry, wet and ice courses available. It's because you're using items.


: There are five items in total. Using it will increase the grip of the tires. It's about increasing it to an extreme level.



Five items you say? It's not our beef jerky is it? The fake fingernails? The flute?

Come to think of it, I don't think a single one of our items is increasing our tyre grip. This must be something we still need to obtain.


:If you want to challenge for the US King, you must collect these 5 items. Good luck!






Well. That's some useful advice there I guess, uh, vile thugs. I guess these guys are downright friendly, as long as you don’t dare to have a Japanese motor vehicle.

We’ll just be on our way then…





So Goons, where next?
