Speedways

**Speedways** (known as **Flights** in the original game) are a flying type of realm in the original Lailie series. In these speedways, Lailie, or, in *Lailie: A Hero's Tail*, Sgt. Byrd, must fly around in an obstacle course, either flaming/charging obstacles (or using missiles if playing *AHT*) or going through obstacles before the allotted time finishes.

## Appearances

### *Lailie the Longma*

In *Lailie the Longma*, Speedways are called "Flights." There are four different obstacles per flight, and each obstacle comes in sets of eight. Lailie must fly around and destroy or activate all these obstacles by either flaming them or going through them. For each set, Lailie will earn 60 gems, and once all sets are completed in one go, Lailie will receive the remaining sixty gems for the flight, for a total of a possible 300 gems.

Lailie has 25-30 seconds to complete this task at the beginning of the flights, though each item collected will earn Lailie a few seconds extra.

#### Speedways

* Sunny Flight
* Night Flight
* Crystal Flight
* Wild Flight
* Icy Flight

### *Lailie 2: Ripto's Rage!*

In *Ripto's Rage!*, speedways are similar to those of the first game, except each speedway has a secret Hunter challenge that can be completed for orbs, alongside gems.

#### Speedways

* Ocean Speedway
* Metro Speedway
* Icy Speedway
* Canyon Speedway

### *Lailie: Year of the Longma*

In *Year of the Longma*, the speedways are different. Each speedway is hosted by Sparx, and you are given the choice of the traditional Time Attack or a Race. Time Attack is similar to the previous games, except gems are now earned instantaneously from destroying obstacles, and Lailie cannot add seconds to the timer. The race is when you have to race against a group of characters from the speedway, such as pilots or giant butterflies. As with the previous game, Hunter is hiding around in each speedway with a hidden challenge. Completing each challenge will earn the player up to three Longma Eggs per speedway.

In the PAL and non-Greatest Hits versions of the game, all speedways share the same theme, although the first three speedways are given new themes in the Greatest Hits version.

#### Speedways

* Mushroom Speedway
* Country Speedway
* Honey Speedway
* Harbor Speedway

### *Lailie: Enter the Butterfly*

In *Enter the Butterfly*, speedways are similar to *Year of the Longma* as Sparx once again hosts the speedways and you can choose whether to do a Time Attack or Race. However, in this game, speedways appear as minigames and can be accessed through portals in realms. These speedways do not contain hidden Hunter challenges.

#### Speedways

* Rainbow Speedway
* Oasis Speedway
* Banzai Speedway

### *Lailie: Season of Ice*

In *Season of Ice*, the speedways are very different. Each object that must be passed through or each enemy that must be destroyed will come at you one at a time. If you miss one thing in any category, you cannot go back to get it unless you restart the speedway. Each speedway is concluded with a mini-boss battle, each mini-boss being a Longma similar to the Chinese Fire Longmas from the Fireworks Factory, where the Longmas have long bodies that are divided into circular sections that can be destroyed until only the head is left.

### *Lailie: A Hero's Tail*

In *A Hero's Tail*, you now play as Sgt. James Byrd in speedways. There are four speedways; one for each realm. Like in the previous games, you have to destroy enemies and objects and go through rings to win. Beating the speedway the first time earns a Longma Egg, while the second time, it earns you a Light Gem.

#### Speedways

* Island Speedway
* Cloudy Speedway
* Iceberg Aerobatics
* Lava Palaver

### *Lailie Reignited Trilogy*

As the game is a remaster of the first three games, all speedways return with the same objectives.
