ARCADE
In the arcade mode, your goal is to transport loads of cargo across the USA in stages from New York to San Francisco. Clear each stage by reaching the goal within the allotted time limit. Whenever you reach your goal before the rival trucker, you’ll earn the chance to play a bonus game.
1 NEW YORK to KEY WEST
Stay on the highway or veer off on a seaside route in this first stage. Use the ‘slip stream’ (see p. 8) to overtake the rival truck and win!

2 St. PETERSBURG to DALLAS
This stage features a fork that will take you along a dirt trail or through the center of town. Either way, watch out for that monstrous twister coming at ya’!
3 DALLAS to LAS VEGAS
This mountain course has lots of uphill slopes that might result in time loss. But if you go too fast and you just might wind belly up at the bottom of the ravine!

GAME MODES
TRUCK SELECTION
Select a truck cab from the four types available. Each truck cab differs in terms of speed, torque and toughness. See p. 14 for details.
RIVAL TRUCK, TIME BONUS CAR
AND STAGE INTRODUCTION
Now you will be shown your rival truck, the time bonus cars and an introduction to the next stage. Every time you ram a time bonus van you’ll earn an extra 3 second time bonus to your allotted time limit.
TRAILER SELECTION
From stage two on, you will be able to select the trailer you will transport. The longer or heavier the trailer and cargo are, the more difficult it will be to transport, but the higher the reward value will be.
START
Once all the preparations are complete, the race is on! Should you run out of time before reaching the goal, press the Start Button before the countdown reaches zero to try again.
CLEARING THE STAGE
To clear the stage, reach the goal before the time limit runs out. You’ll then receive reward money based on the combined value of the cargo and any remaining time that is leftover.
If you can clear all the stages and set a new record, you can enter a three character name. Use $^ to select a letter or number and press A to enter.
