Beginner Tips For Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Tokyo Extreme Racer is a lively classic-style video game involving street racing and the framework of the game is based on real-life underground racing in Japan. Part of the reason behind the popularity of Tokyo Extreme Racer is the player’s choice between challenging either lone racers looking for a battle, or else large rival teams. When a player wants to initiate a race, they simply flash their lights at the driver they want to challenge.

Nobody wants to begin a game on the back foot and as with any game, especially a retro-style one, the more beginner’s tips you take on and remember, the better.

Spend Time On The Starter Car

Never Underestimate The First Vehicle

Upon launching Tokyo Xtreme Racer for the first time, players will only have access to a limited budget and as they would expect, starter cars on the more basic side. The three starter cars players can choose from are the Mazda Roadster RS (2015), the Suzuki Swift Sport (2022), or the Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex (1987).

Regardless of the starting vehicle chosen, as long as players keep stats maximized as much as possible with BP points and work their way through the upgrade tree, this car will help advancement significantly. Ensuring the starter vehicle is as upgraded as it can be, there is actually no need to acquire other cars, save for those boss battles whereby a specific car is necessary.

Seek Out The Wanderers

Target The Wanderers

Even though it may seem like running (or driving) before walking, beginner players in Tokyo Xtreme Racer would do well to head straight for the Wanderers. Said Wanderers operate completely on their own and require additional vehicles to unlock, making many beginner players avoid these racers, to their detriment.

However, to get ahead and be provided with the best opportunity of being able to win more races, as soon as even one requirement is complete, head for the location of a lower-level Wanderer. Wanderers are marked on the map with the standard blue arrow but with a black shape inside.

Always Check Parking Bays

Opponents Are Lurking Everywhere

When hunting down the last member of a particularly hard-to-beat crew, or else searching for Wanderers to make their mark on the game, beginner players absolutely must stay vigilant.

There are a number of parking bays and larger car parks randomly positioned across the Tokyo Xtreme Racer map. Somewhat frustratingly, players only become aware of where a particular parking area is once they have driven past them. Opponents, both of the racing crew and Wanderer kind, often lurk in parking bays and when searching each bay, make sure you are aware of who, or what, is behind the car.

Experiment With Manual Transmission

Get A Real Feel For Driving

As with the vast majority of other racing games, Tokyo Xtreme Racer‘s vehicles, both starter cars and rare models, are preset to automatic transmission. Unless a new player is simply unfamiliar with the mechanics of driving and needs to learn, there is a lot to be said for beginners to trigger manual transmission instead.

There are several reasons for this, not least the simple fact that, if players want to get a realistic feel of the differences between vehicles in the game, a manual is the only way to go. In addition, however, manual transmission allows the car to accelerate faster, as the automatic option tends to change gears too early.

Map Exploration Is Key

Don’t Be Afraid Of A Challenge

Part of what makes this game so addictive is that there are always plenty of crews and racers to battle and race. The only way players can increase their vehicle inventory and upgrade their vehicles to the maximum is to get out there and fight, so map exploration is of optimum priority. Obviously, players should also focus on upgrading their current vehicle, but the more they explore the map, the more treasures they will find.

Don’t be afraid to race regular people too, as this will not only boost the players’ experience points but also provide more in-depth information on the different vehicles’ weak points and strengths in the game. Players can even race trucks and other larger vehicles whilst traveling along the map to hunt down their next crew member, akin to the Fortnite Rocket Racing-style map.
