MotorToon Grand Prix 2 Instruction Manual



Motor Toon 2 is the weirdest racing game around, with
the bestest collection of oddball racers and the toughest series of spooky
racetracks. But it'll take more than raw driving skill and reflexes of a
mongoose to triumph - look out for the coins in the road: each one gives
you the chance to spin the item slot and pick up a power-up. There are
fireballs and missiles to take out opponents ahead of you and bombs and oil
slicks to leave on the road for those behind. There's other stuff too but
you'll have to work them out for yourself. Safe Motoring!

Set up your PlayStation and insert the Motor Toon 2 CD as described in your
PlayStation manual. It is advised that you do not insert or remove
Controllers or Memory cards once the power is turned on.

OPERATING THE CONTROLLER
You can connect your controller to either Controller port 1 or Controller
port 2. When Controllers are connected to both Controller ports, the first
Controller to be operated has preference. It is advised that you do not
insert or remove Memory cards or peripherals once the power is turned on.

TIPS
RECOMMENDED PLAYING ENVIRONMENT
In order to enjoy the beautiful colours in MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, we
recommend that you connect the PlayStation to a large TV using an Euro-AV
cable. The sound effects during the game are produced in stereo so you will
get more pleasure from using stereo speakers or headphones.

Loud noises may damage your speakers and your ears so please be careful if
turning up the volume.

1. CAPTAIN ROCK
2. PRINCESS JEAN
3. BOLBOX
4. PENGUIN BROS.
5. RAPTOR & RAPTOR
6. VANITY
7. BILLY THE TOUGH
8. CHING TONG SHANG

TIPS
DRIFT
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 you can control your car's drift (tail slide)
using the steering, brake and accelerator. Turn the steering wheel, let off
the accelerator, hit the brakes and your vehicle will slide. Once the back
wheels have started to slide, if you do not accelerate they will continue
to slide. Acceleration will bring your vehicle out of the drift.

1. TOON VILLAGE
2. TOON ISLAND 2                     There are hidden courses in Motor
3. CRAZY COASTER                     Toon Grand Prix 2 which will appear
4. GULLIVER HOUSE 2                  under certain conditions during the
5. HAUNTED CASTLE                    gameplay. See if you can find them!

TIPS
MAKING USE OF THE SLIPSTREAM
While driving at high speeds, if you drive close to the car in front the
air resistance is reduced so that your maximum speed is increased. This is
called the SLIPSTREAM EFFECT. It is used in racing to overtake the car in
front. In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, you can judge the effect of the
SLIPSTREAM using the slipstream gauge in the lower right portion of the
screen. The speed you gain from the SLIPSTREAM EFFECT continues after
passing through the SLIPSTREAM.

TIPS
ENJOYING REPLAY
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, in the SINGLE RACE, TIME ATTACKE, FREE RUN and
TWO PLAYER BATTLE modes, you can enjoy replaying the race you have just
run. During the replay you can shift the camera angle using the Controller
buttons. If you retire during the play, replay will be shown up to the
point that you retired.
You can only replay races and save replays in the game menu following the
race. Returning to the main menu during play will invalidate this option.
We recommend that you save races by saving the video after racing.

TIPS
VIEWING THE RECORDS SCREEN

and that mode. The top 5 total times and the fastest lap are shown.

TIPS
USING BOMBS
The proper way to use bombs is to scatter them behind you when you are
driving so that you can blow up the cars coming behind you. By scattering
bombs, you can protect yourself from missile and fire-ball attackes from
behind. If you leave a pile of bombs in one place, the resulting explosion
is much bigger and the distance the follwing vehicle is thrown will be
greater.

7. LOAD GHOST FROM VIDEO

TIPS
OUT-IN-OUT CORNERING
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, if you turn the steering wheel too much when
cornering you kill the speed of your car, and even if you put your foot on
the accelerator the car will not accelerate well. You should therefore take
a wdie berth on corners, and keep your steering as near to a straight line
as you can.
Enter a corner from the outside, go through the inside of the corner as
tightly as possible, then move toward the outside when exiting the corner.
This is called OUT-IN-OUT cornering and is a very important technique for
getting a good time.

TIPS
HOW TO USE THE ROCKET START
In TIME ATTACK and TWO PLAYER BATTLE, a good start makes all the
difference. In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, the clutch is

1. START FREE RUN
Starts FREE RUN

2. CHANGE MACHINE
Allows you to change your machine

4. RECORDS

6. SAVE VIDEO

TIPS
SPECIAL TIME ATTACK IN THE FREE RUN MODE
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, the fastest lap in the FREE RUN mode is also
registered as a record. In FREE RUN , in contrast to other modes, it is
possible to use items while driving so you can get a much better time than
in the normal TIME ATTACK mode if you make good use of the items. Bear in
mind the items and the structure of the course in your quest for the best
time.

! NOTE
MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 MAKES FULL USE OF MEMORY CARDS. PLEASE READ THESE
EXPLANATORY NOTES WELL BEFORE STARTING A GAME. MAKE SURE THERE ENOUGH FREE
BLOCKS ON YOUR MEMORY CARD BEFORE COMMENCING PLAY.

TWO FILE TYPES WHICH CAN BE USED TO SAVE DATA TO MEMORY CARDS
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, two kinds of save files can be created on
Mmemory cards. The first is the MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 RECORD FILE which
is for recording the courses and saving the option settings. The second is
the MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 VIDEO FOLDER which contains recorded videos.
The MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 RECORD FILE takes up one Memory card black. The
MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 VIDEO FOLDER takes up between 1-15 Memory card
blocks depending on the space available.

SAVING RECORDS AND OPTIONSs
Select SAVE RECORDS AND SETTINGS from the OPTIONS in the main menu. When
selecting SAVE RECORDS AND SETTINGS for the first time, you should create a
new file on the Memory card, following the screen instructions. This
creates a file called MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 RECORDS on the Memory card in
which the records are saved. Once this file has been created, whenever you
select SAVE RECORDS AND SETTINGS, the data will be saved to the Memory card
automatically.

CREATING A VIDEO FOLDER
In the SINGLE RACE MODE, TIME ATTACK MODE and FREE RUN MODE, if you select
SAVE VIDEO after the race, you can save the most recent video on the Memory
card. However, when you select SAVE VIDEO for the first time, you will need
to create the video folder MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 VIDEO FOLDER (which from
now on we will be refered to as the VIDEO FOLDER) on the Memory card in
which to store the video. The system will ask you how many blocks you wish
to use for the video folder on the Memory card.

PRESSING THE START BUTTON WILL TAKE YOU TO THE ERASE MODE WHICH ERASES
PREVIOUSLY STORED DATA OF OTHER GAMES FROM THE MEMORY CARD.

MEMORY CARD MESSAGES

  * NO VIDEO FOLDER EXISTS. DO YOU WISH TO CREATE A VIDEO FOLDER?
  * THERE IS INSUFFICIENT SPACE TO SAVE THE VIDEO IN THE VIDEO FOLDER.
  * THE MEMORY CARD IN SLOT 1 IS FULL.
  * THERE ARE NO VIDEOS AVAILABLE FOR SELECTION.

USING A MEMORY CARD
As the size of video files produced during games is different depending on
the type of Controller used, you should choose the number of Memory card
blocks you wish to store videos based on the following. In general, when
using a Controller you can record ten or so videos in a 2 Memory card block
video folder. When using a neGcon, you can record around 5 videos in a 5
Memory card block video folder. Compared with the Controller, the neGcon
has far more infomation which needs to be saved, so the numbers of videos
you are able to record decreases accordingly.

In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2, if there is sufficent Memory card capacity, it
is possible to store up to a maximum of 100 videos.

SAVING VIDEOS
After deciding the size of the video folder and creating the video folder
on the Memory card, the list of videos in the video folder will be
displayed on the screen. At first, the folder should be empty.

Select the place in which you wish to record data and confirm your choice
using the O BUTTON / X BUTTON. You can then give the video a name, so
choose a name to remind you of the video content and confirm your choice.

When the message SAVING VIDEO HAS COMPLETED appears, the video has been
saved correctly. You can watch the saved videos in the REPLAY THEATRE.

MEMORY CARD MESSAGES

  * THERE IS NO MEMORY CARD IN SLOT 1
  * THE MEMORY CARD IN SLOT 1 HAS NOT BEEN FORMATTED
  * FORMATTING MEMORY CARD... PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE MEMORY CARD WHILST
    FORMATTING
  * THERE ARE NO MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 FILES. DO YOU WISH TO CREATE A
    NEW ONE?

! WARNING
THE LINK CABLE SHOULD BE CONNECTED WHEN THE TWO PLAYSTATION CONSOLES ARE
SWITCHED OFF. WHEN PLAYING A GAME WITH THE LINK CABLE, IF YOU PULL THE
CONNECTION OUT, YOU MAY FIND THAT YOU CANNOT CONTINUE YOUR GAME. IF THIS
OCCURS, PLEASE RESET BOTH PLAYSTATION CONSOLES AND START AGAIN FROM THE
BEGINNING.

1. START BATTLE
Starts the battle

2. CHANGE MACHINE
Select the machine

3. CHANGE TRACK
Select the course

4. BATTLE OPTIONS
These are the game options for two player battles allowing you to enjoy
racing using various settings of you choice

5. INSTANT REPLAY VIDEO
Replay the previous race

6. SAVE VIDEO
Saves a video replay of the previous race on the Memory card

ALTERING TWO PLAYER BATTLE OPTIONS
For added enjoyment when playing a dual match, you can alter various game
options using the BATTLE OPTIONS menu.

ITEM
This setting switches the ITEM setting ON or OFF in two player batttles.
When it is OFF, the item plate is invalid so the item slot does not appear.
Initially ITEM is set on ON
2ND CAR BOOST
When the 2ND CAR BOOST is set to high, the speed of the 2nd car is higher
than the speed of the 1st car allowing two players of differing abilities
to race against each other. When you change the 2ND CAR BOOST from high to
low, the effect of the BOOST is lessened, and when you turn the BOOST off,
you can race against each other without handicaps, for either player.
Initially, 2ND CAR BOOST is set high.
GAME STYLE
There are two modes; NORMAL and SCRATCH GAME. In SCRATCH GAME laps are
converted to points, and you can set the number of points necessary to win
the race.
LAPS
It is possible to set the number of laps for each battle from 2-20 laps.
The initial setting is 3 laps.

TIPS
SCRATCH GAME
In the SCRATCH RACE, points are awarded after each lap to the player who
wins that lap. The points build up unitl one player reaches the
pre-determined winning score (the initial setting is 3 points).
When the scores reaches 2-2, DEUCE is displayed. The player who wins the
next lap then gets the ADVANTAGE (again like tennis) which means that
altough the score is 3-2, the race is not yet over: a player must win by
two clear points to win the race. If neither player wins after the race
goes to DUECE six times, the players enter SUDDEN DEATH mode in which the
player to win the next lap wins the race.

CONTROLLER SETTINGS

WHEN USING THE CONTROLLER
Set the Controller buttons to the various settings you wish to use. The
functions (brake, accelerate, etc.) appear on the left of the screen while
the buttons assigned to the functions appear on the right of the screen.
Select the functions using the Up and Down Directional buttons, then press
the button you wish to use to operate the particular functions. In this way
you can apply the buttons you choose to operate the various functions.

WHEN USING A neGcon
BUTTON CONFIGURATION
You can set up your own buttons for the various functions in the same way
as with the Controller.

SENSITIVITY
Here you can adjust the sensitivity of the steering wheel. A graded
sensitivity bar (7 positions - from DULL to SHARP) is displayed on the
screen allowing you to adjust the sensitivity of the steering to suit your
own driving requirements.

CALIBRATION
This is the mode in which you can adjust the centering of the steering
wheel. Adjust the steering wheel so that it is properly centered and
confirm the setting so that the centring of the steering is recorded.

SAVE RECORDS & SETTINGS
Saves the current options and courses on the Memory card.

LOAD RECORDS & SETTINGS
Loads to options and course data from the memory card.

DIFFICULTY
Sets the level of difficulty for CHAMPIONSHIP RACE and SINGLE RACE.

CARTOON ANIMATION
In this game you can limit or even stop the special animated motion of the
characters and their vehicles. By choosing STEER ONLY, the special motion
only ocurs when turn left and right, and by choosing NONE, all animation
ceases and your vehicle moves like a normal car. The initial setting is ALL
(full animated motion).

AUTO-SAVING
When AUTO-SAVING is ON, race data during races and TIME ATTACK records are
saved automatically. The initial setting is OFF. If you change this option
to ON, please be sure not to remove the Memory card during the game.

BGM/SE BALANCE
This alters the balance of between the background music, narration, and the
sound effects, engine noises and explosions during the race. For example,
if you set the balance to 10:0, only the background music is played, and
the special effect sounds disappear.

MUSIC
Selecting OFF turns the music off during the two player race (convenient
for TWO PLAYER BATTLES).

WALLPAPER
You can change the pattern of the wallpaper used in the menu background
using this option. Choose your favourite pattern.

RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS
Should you wish to cancel the settings you have made, you can return to the
original game settings.

GOODIES
In MOTOR TOON GRAND PRIX 2 there are various hidden features. Each time you
satisfy certain CLEAR conditions, you can select one of these features - it
depends on your efforts. GOOD LUCK !
