Crusin USA Driving FAQ v1.0
by Poln


Hi there, I don't know how to title this...since I broke a lot of records
in a couple of arcades, I had a tendency to get bored so I may share some
of ways to get improve a bit.  If this FAQ take so much critcism from it,
then it will be asked for removal.  The records broken is Fastest times.
Of course, I did not broke every record around.

I did Not list all avg. times or Fastest times in some stages.  You may
have to figure that out yourself. If you have a better explaination about
the stage, or have better times, e-mail me. Avg times is usually people
who play well and usually get within that time.

Settings are different...in my area..It costs 50 cents.  Simulater costs
$1.00 Nickel Arcades $0.10, and Free Play ones.  Some are 2 player link.

The senstivity in stearing vary.  The default is 1-5 where 5 is most
senstive.  The default is 3.

If you are in first place, you get to play again.  Some arcades, set that
you pay per play.

After you press start, you can choose your race, you have ~10 seconds. to
choose.  Otherwise, it will choose the one that you hilighted.

You can choose a stage that is not listed by this

1+3 Indiana [Medium] Do this replaces Bev. Hills
1+2 Golden Gate Park [Easy] Do this replaces US 101
2+3 SF [Expert] Do this replaces Grand Canyon

Next, you select your transmission either automatic or Manual 4 Speed
This is self explanatory.

Last, you select your car.  Hold any view button to choose a different
vehicle then the ones shown.

LET'S START THE RACE

I'm telling you tips in a great race.

Usually from the start until the first Checkpoint, (15-20 sec). You will see
no oncoming traffic so you can use either lane (not in all cases).


Golden Gate Park
Try to be as smooth as possible especailly the turns (no smoking comming
out).  Until you see the Nintendo Sign, then you need to do a hard left
towards the finsh.  Try to stay on your side of the road.

San Francisco
This is a 2 lane road w/ a four lane in the tunnel.  I don't know why is
there a tunnel.  In real life, the tunnels in Bay area are The Broadway
Tunnel, Geary Tunnel (Geary Expressway), Cadecut (misspelling) in Easy Bay
Through Berkeley Hills [Oakland Fire in 1992].  Bay bridge.  Any others??
Avg. Time  1:40:xx

Anyway...try not to stear hard.  2. As you get into the tunnel, try to
minimize the hard stearing.  And try to stay on the right side of the road.

U.S. 101

Try to stay on the right side of the road if possible. 2) If you know
that the turn is going to be smooth, use it.  The last one is a hard
right (try to stay in the right lane). Then you're on your way to finish
the race.
Avg Time:  1:48:xx  Best time:  1:46:99

Redwood Forest
Nothing Available
If you want to contribue, let me know.  This is for Experts only.  For
now, look at the FAQ by crusin12.

Beverly Hills.
This one is a toughie.  The Level if Difficulty is medium, but I think
that this is hard.  There are several turns that you have to manuver.
One of the turns is that you will need to do a hard right before you
enter the tunnel.  Try to stay on your side of the road if possible.
If you accidently hit a palm tree or a metal object (ex. fire hydrant),
your speed drops down towards zero so try to avoid those.
Avg time:  1:38:xx  Best time (NO BS): 1:35:50

LA Freeway
Similar to Golden Gate Park.  Try to be as smooth as possible, even when
passing.  When you see the curve sign at the very end, you will need to
do a hard left.  Avg time:  1:50:xx

Death Valley [Medium]
This is a two lane road with a 4 lanes at the end.  Try to pass all the
cars before the first checkpoint.  Always stay on the right side of the
road if possible (except when passing) Please be careful when you pass. 2)
There is NO oncoming traffic once you are on a 4 lane road so you can
try to beat the other player (if you have a 2P link).  Otherwise (in a 1P
game, you need to beat the train before you cross the track.  Otherwise your
are screwed.   Avg Time:  1:39:xx or 1:40:xx
               Best time:  1:38:30


Grand Canyon [Expert]
I don't think this is expert..Of course, there are a lot of turns.  You
don't need to steer very hard as you might think.  Towards, Mt. Rushmore,
try to be smooth as possible, heck..I did 150 MPH in that turn as I head
downhill...At the very end...you don't stear very hard.

Arizona [Easy]
This one has a couple of "S" curves that you have to manuever.  And a few
sharp turns (Not as sharp as Iowa or Indiana).  When you see one, you go
left, right. That's it.  Best time (NO JOKE):  1:28:74.. Avg.. 1:32:xx

Iowa [Medium] and Indiana [Medium]
Both of them are similar to each other.  There are 2 lane roads
throughout the course.  Try to pass all the cars before you hit the toll
booth.  Here are the differences..

Iowa has 2 toll booths.  If you screwed up on the 2nd toll booth, other
cars will follow you and you are in trouble.
There are animals in the middle of the roads.  Iowa has a deer, Indiana
has a cow.  Both of them are there at random.  Try to stear clear of it.
If you have to, you can off road (on the left side to avoid the crash).
There are telephone poles on the right side of the road, if you hit one
of them, it will slow you down considerably towards 80-90 MPH.
At times you will see a fly hit on your windshield or when birds fly by,
they'll put bird waste on the windshield (just keep going).
But, (IOWA) if the deer is at the bridge and the oncoming car comes, you
have NO choice but to go at it.  Indiana has a hard turn, ahead.  Don't
turn and go hard all the time.  Instead turn, let go, turn, let go til
you are in the straightaway.  If you hold the turn, you'll end up in the
bushes or you may hit by an oncoming car.  Stay on the right side of the
road if possible at the end to avoid a last minute crash.  Don't steer
too hard unless absolute neccessary or you know that you have to do it..
Stearing hard is when you turn the steering wheel as far as possible.
Indiana does not have a bridge.

Best time: 1:38:65 Iowa     Avg. 1:40:xx
           1:28:94 Indiana  Avg. 1:32:xx

Chicago [Expert]
This is one of the hardest races other than redwood forrest.  I ususally
choose it in a 2 player link.  First, try to pass all the other cars
before you are in the tunnel.  This is very important.  2nd, once, you
are in the tunnel, don't stear too hard, if you do this, you will hit
walls, pillers, etc. and it's a mess..Once you got into an accident, you
are screwed for the rest of the game.  Anyway...steer, but NOT too hard.
After you are in the tunnel you are under the bridge which is the "L"
train.  Same rules apply as in the tunnel.
Best time (NO JOKE):  1:37:47  Avg. 1:39:xx (If you did well)

Appaliacha [Medium]
This one has hills and sharp turns.  try to stay on the right side of the
road if possible.  Before the first bump, get to the right side of the
road, hit the bump, then try to stear right. You may have to go to the
grass on the right to avoid a major disaster which is ending up through
the bushes and that will cost you time.  There are different turns,
strightaways, etc. Avg time:  1:40:xx

Washington DC [Unknown] {probably Medium/Expert}
This is the last stage.. Only available in you choose SF to DC option and
you went all the way.  You see some landmarks as you drive through.
There are 2 very hard turns (you do a hard right).  I don't know what the
best way to steer them.  Then you go through the money tunnel, and one
last hard right for the finsh.. My best time for this one: (NO JOKE)
1:22:90.  Avg time:  ?? 1:25:xx ??
