1)Introduction.

First of all, I know that Super RUNABOUT was released in the US & Europe but 
this FAQ was made with the Japanese version. Names and descriptions could be 
differents in the US/Euro version.
This is my first FAQ written in English for a game (I'm French). My English is 
not good, so, I think there is a lot of mistakes in my FAQ. I'm sorry and I hope 
you will understand this FAQ without big problems.



2)Quick Review.

To be true, the first time I've played this game, I've finded it very bad : 30 
fps, realistic driving, unplayable, ... But after a few time of comprehension, 
I've found a lot of very interesting things in the game, so, I've decided to 
play seriously at it.
And I haven't been disappointed, this game is very original and long, the city 
is extremly huge, it was a lot of vehicles & secrets, we can destroy a lot of 
things, ...
Finaly, after that "bad-first-impression", Super RUNABOUT becomes a great game. 
I know, Crazy Taxi is more speddy & more playable but, finaly, less interesting 
& original than Super RUNABOUT !

GRAPHICS	15/20	Very realistic ! The city looks like a "real" city. Vehicles 
are perfectly modelised. (Character CG is not very good, but it's not important 
in this game !)

ANIMATION	11/20	The weak point of the game. 30 fps with some slowdown moments. 
However, when you reach 250-300 km/h, it's really impressive !

SFX		10/20	Vehicles motors sounds good, but are too noisy. Voice haven't 
a really good style (I find). Other sounds likes real.

MUSIC		16/20	Excellent !!! Impressive rock. It's perfect for a game like 
this !

GAMEPLAY	13/20	Realistic. It have good & bad aspects. Bad at the first 
impression, but it's better when you begin to play for a while.

LASTING APPEAL	15/20	A lot of hidden vehicles & other things. A total of 16 
very original missions.

GLOBAL		15/20



3)Missions.

First of all, I highly recommend you to play normal or hard mode because you 
can't get all emblems in easy mode. (note : this mode selection seems to be only 
in the Japanese version)
There was 2 scenarios in the game :
A : The family
B : The police
Each scenario have 6 regular missions & 2 hidden ones. (this makes a total of 16 
missions)


3.1)Scenario A : The Family.

Mission-1 : Get the bombs.
This first mission is pretty easy. You have to search for the 6 bombs in dust 
boxes located in the city then find the terrorists van. All is clearly indicated 
on the map, try to optimize your way & you will successfuly finish it without 
problems.

Mission-2 : Hotdogs for VIP.
This mission is a little harder than the first one. You must bring 3 hotdogs at 
the City Hall. To make 1 hotdog, you have to get 3 ingredients : 1 sausage (red 
on the map), 1 letuce (green on the map) & 1 bread (yellow on the map). So, you 
must get 3 sausage, 3 letuce & 3 bread then going to the City Hall.

Mission-3 : Race against F1.
In this mission, you have to follow the indicated way on the map before the time 
is going out. You race against a F1 (but it is very slow, there is no problem to 
overtake it). Simply follow the direction indicated on the map & you will win 
the race.

Mission-4 : Drop the limousines.
What you have to do in this mission is to drop 4 limousines in the water. You 
must push them in order to drop them in the water. Not too hard.

Mission-5 : Bring girls to the stadium.
There is 2 limousines with 1 girl in each one. When you broke a limousine, you 
got 1 girl. You have to get the 2 girls then go to the stadium (follow the way 
on the map).

Mission-6 : Save the President.
You have to reach the president inside the aircraft carrier. Use the elevator on 
the edges of the carrier (push Y button to activate them). Now, search the 
President (not too hard). Then, reach the surface to go to the helicopter.

Mission-S1 : Clean the streets.
There is 4 area on the city which are "infected" by "powerful drugs". Simply run 
on the drugs boxes to clean an area. Pretty easy.

Mission-S2 : Take photos.
You have to take 6 photos then going to the final point (indicated on the map). 
Just sit your vehicule in the same direction than the arrow on the ground then 
push Y button to take a shot.


3.2)Scenario B : The Police.

Mission-1 : Stop the Cable Car.
This first mission consist to break the cable car before it reach the end of the 
road. What you have to do is to crash it too get down it energy bar.

Mission-2 : Ketchup & Mustard for VIP.
This mission looks like the other scenario's one. You must get 3 mustard & 3 
ketchup then go to the City Hall. You can optimize your way to lose the less 
possible time.

Mission-3 : Collect the cases.
In this mission, you must bring the 6 attache cases to the indicated point on 
the map but you have a rival. When you crash the rival car, you get 1 case. The 
best thing to do is to go forward (don't follow the rival car), take the cases 
you encounter on your way then wait the rival car at the end of the course to 
crash it and get the cases. 

Mission-4 : Limousines going wrecked.
In this mission, you have to wreck terrorist limousines. At each point, there is 
a wrecker and a limousine in front of it. Simply crash the rear of the limousine 
(not too violently) to bring it on the wrecker. This mission is not very easy 
because if a limousine is too violently crashed, it get off from it axe then 
it's very difficult to bring it to the wrecker.

Mission-5 : Broke fake ambulances.
This mission consist on breaking fake ambulances. Just follow the indicated way 
on the map then crash it. After the second ambulance, there is 2 ambulances at 
each point : one is running and the other one is parked. I suggest you to broke 
the running one because the way becomes different and easier like this.

Mission-6 : Escape from Alcatraz.
First, you must find the police chief (he is inside the prison), then you have 
to destroy missiles. Simply follow the points on the map, it's not too hard. 
After destroying the missiles, you must go inside the boat were you came from.

Mission-S1 : Bring baseball players to stadium.
Like CRAZY TAXI, you have to take all the baseball players from the city (push Y 
button to get them) then bring them to the stadium.

Mission-S2 : Follow the Waldman
Simply follow the waldman (stay far because it shot you). When there is 4 
limousines, follow the one which is going to the docks. When he is parked, you 
must crash it.

6)The ULTIMATE code.

Simply enter ELVIS!!! as your name then enjoy !!!
Sorry, this code don't work with the US/Euro version, I will include it if I 
find a code for the US/Euro release
The only way to use it with a US/Euro version is to create a savefile - with the 
ELVIS!!! code - with the Japanese version and to use it with the US/Euro version 
because savefile is compatible between Japanese & US/Euro version.
Anyway, I haven't any cheat for the US/Euro version, sorry !
