Makoto Sawaki

* Image
* Portrait

**Makoto Sawaki** (沢木 誠) was a member of Honmoku Night Racers, and an initial rival to Sho Akasaki.

Considered Akira Tsujimoto's most trusted member of the team, Tsujimoto drove a white Sil-14Q (Nissan Silvia Q's Aero S14). Compared to the Ishikawa brothers, he is friendly towards their rival team, even helping Akasaki rescue Yuka Suzuki when she was kidnapped. During the rematch of the team battle between NR and BLR (called Revenge Race) in the 2nd Night, Sawaki's race against Akasaki ended tragically as crashed out in the second to the last corner of the Bay Lagoon route. Akasaki rescues him out of his burning Sil-14 but the crash leaves him comatose. He fought for his life thereafter, but succumbed to his injuries the night after the Yokohama GP Qualifying Round and dies in the hospital.

It was later revealed at the 9th Night that Sawaki was under influence of Diablo during the Revenge Race; according to Shinsuke Ishikawa, his car had been Diablo tuned (something a minor Night Racers member had implied at the 6th Night) after the brothers offered him a way to improve his lap times, while Tsujimoto stated later in the chapter that Sawaki did hear strange voices in moments leading up to the Revenge Race, while further remarking that Akira himself does not hear such voices. (Akasaki, Ikki Fujisawa, Shinsuke, and Kyoji Nanba had also heard similar mysterious voices.)

Sawaki, alongside Tsujimoto, is playable in the 2 Warriors Battle Mode, being the only NR members playable in that mode.

Heidel Schneider

**Heidel Schneider** is a German member of WON-TEC, who is responsible for the D-Project and for organizing the Darkness GP race. Described as the European racing champion, he is the one that gave Sho Akasaki his Diablo drugs and Diablo-Zeta 10 years ago, and the one that subjected him to the D-Sleep program after Akasaki killed all of the other D-Project drivers in a large scale car crash.

He is first shown at the 6th Night, as he and Won Lee depart the headquarters in a limousine, and then in the post-race cutscene following the Yokohama GP Qualifying Round as they watched the replay of the race, remarking that the company's project was well on track. In the 9th Night, Shinsuke Ishikawa recalls that he and his brother Keisuke Ishikawa met Schneider after they were cornered by limousines at the Redrenga Warehouse during their kidnapping of Yuka Suzuki. The brothers accepted Schneider's offer, although Shinsuke eventually quit.

At the Forgotten Hill (Hokkaido), Schneider found out that former WON-TEC member Satoru Kawashima had been releasing secrets regarding the D-Project to Akasaki and thus killed him in retaliation, having evaded capture.

By the end of the game, following the destruction of the Bay Lagoon Tower, he ambushes Won Lee and shoots him dead before Akasaki could hit him with a steel pipe (which would be a repeat of what the Fastest Legend did ten years ago to an army of Diablo-Zetas). Vowing to escape to Europe with the secrets of Diablo, he then challenges Akasaki to one final race along the crumbling roads surrounding the tower; during this race, his Diablo-tuned Germany-TURBO (Porsche 911) falls in a burning crevice on the road, killing him.
Prologue Night Crimson Moon

**Prologue Night Crimson Moon** is the opening chapter of Racing Lagoon.

This chapter consists only of one race, in which the player is not meant to win the race overall (the game considers finishing ahead of Keisuke as winning; however, the story progresses even if the player lost to him, just that the Get Rewards portion will be skipped).

## Synopsis

The game begins as Bay Lagoon Racing have their debut race event at Bay Lagoon Wharf against off Honmoku Night Racers (NR) to determine who is (ceremonially) the Yokohama's Fastest Legend. There, Sho Akasaki and Kenzo Yamada defeat their assigned rival, Keisuke Ishikawa, while Ikki Fujisawa won the debut race overall.
33typeR

* 33typeR
* 33typeGT
* Monster-R

**33typeR** and **33typeGT** are bodies equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the Nissan Skyline R33, with the 33typeR standing for the GT-R model and the 33typeGT representing non-GT-R models such as GTS-T. They can be found as NPC cars, some of them named 33type280 (for the Prince 280 Type MR) and 33typeM (for the GTS-25t Type M) for other non GT-R models.

Two important 33typeRs can be seen in the story mode; one is the white and red-tone 33typeR mounted with Aero-C driven by Tensei Yabuki. Another is the gold and black-tone 33typeR mounted with Aero-C driven by Gamo Kusunoki, which is painted after the Smokey Nagata's Top Secret colors. The 33typeR uses R26B engine similar to its predecessor, 32typeR (not to be confused with Mazda 787B engine in real-life).

**Monster-R** is pre-tuned version of 33typeR, painted in azure blue color along with Square's Racing Lagoon logo and a rear wing. It is classified as a complete car in the game, as it's engine (rated at 800ps) and body unit does not have a tuning socket, except for one socket provided on the chassis unit (MOVE-33R), ostensibly to allow custom wheels to be placed. Monster-R is also an hard to catch opponent in Wangan. The car is based on a show car built by tuner MOVE (hence the "MOVE-33R" chassis name) shown at various gaming and car shows in Japan to promote the game; the actual car was destroyed in a testing accident at Fuji Speedway in 2000. Monster-R is the cover car of *Gale A Moment*, the official fan/guide book to the game.

The "34typeR" chassis and "RB26B-TT34" engine parts are from the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34; there are also engine and chassis parts for lower trim R34 Skylines in the game.

Won Lee

**Won Lee** is the president of WON-TEC, running the company and their projects. He is first shown at the 6th Night, as he Heidel Schneider depart the headquarters in a limousine, and then in the post-race cutscene following the Yokohama GP Qualifying Round watching the replay of the race, remarking that the company's project was progressing well.

In the final chapter, he fled from the collapsing Bay Lagoon Tower and he was shot dead by Schneider before Sho Akasaki could hit him with a steel pipe, which would have been a repeat of the Yokohama's Fastest Legend doing the same to Choji Todoroki.
WON-TEC

**WON-TEC** is a corporation that serves as the main antagonists of Racing Lagoon.

On the surface, WON-TEC appears as a manufacturer of auto parts. The company was indeed founded as such by the father of Satoru and Aoi Kawashima; he, along with the siblings' mother, passed away during a traffic accident caused by a motorist flashing their headlights on one fateful spring road trip at Hakone. As the company grew into a small garage shop to a large conglomerate, they, claiming to focus on the biotechnology business, began to market a drug named Diablo (along with auto parts also named as such) to help racers increase their performance; the products themselves are a front for an illegal human experimentation project.

During its initial development of D-Project (which was started by the Kawashima siblings to exact their revenge on whoever killed their parents), a rogue driver was killed in an accident years ago; this, along with financial issues the company faced (likely from the effects of the bubble economy, which was also the official reason the company also halted construction of the Bay Lagoon Tower), and a growing scrutiny against them, caused WON-TEC to shut down the project. However, the project restarted shortly during the events of *Racing Lagoon*, and it is implied that the Yokohama GP that WON-TEC is hosting is a front for testing the new Diablo drug on street racers in Yokohama. Satoru Kawashima was once part of WON-TEC, but left after the incident with the Diablo-Zeta, eventually being killed for this betrayal and exposure of company's secret.

The most well-known WON-TEC member seen in the game is Aoi Kawashima, who plays a significant role, alongside other members such as Forza Rush, Heidel Schneider, and John Truth.

Two WON-TEC branded parts, WON-TEC Mg and WonTec-ECU, can be obtained from Keisuke Ishikawa; this, along with the Brake-D (with D standing for Diablo), as well as other "mysterious" parts the player can get from him in the 3rd Night (Suicide, Killer-Jet, and Coffin; all of them have purple hues in Machine Complete) are hints to him betraying Honmoku Night Racers for the company. There is also an unused engine named WONTEC-V12 that can only be accessed using cheat devices; due to it's properties (V12 3000cc producing 741.4 ps at 9000 rpm with maximum torque at 65.0 kg at 7000 rpm), it is possible the engine is based Ferrari's V12 engines used in Formula One until 1995 (specifically the Tipo 044 engine used that year in the 412 T2), although the WONTEC-V12's rev limit is higher at 10,000 rpm; coincidentally, Yuka Suzuki mentioned F1 when casually talking about the company in the 8th Midnight chapter.

Forza Rush

**Forza Rush** is an Italian member of WON-TEC. He is 24 years old. His car is a red Scuderia12 (Ferrari Testarossa).

He is seen as early as the Prologue Night, as a bystander (alongside Yui Tachikawa and Tetsuji Kawasaki; none of them, including Rush, have yet been introduced at this point) praising Bay Lagoon Racing for winning their team battle against Honmoku Night Racers. His next appearance (although he is still not yet named) would be at the 9th Night, where he and John Truth unsuccessfully attempt to recruit Freddie Roberts for WON-TEC's Driver program.

His first proper appearance would be at the end of 10th Night Pain Of Destiny chapter, demanding Sho Akasaki the disk he obtained from Satoru Kawashima; when he didn't, a WON-TEC official confiscated it for them.

Rush and Truth, along with a WON-TEC limousine driver (named Shuei there), can be challenged in the Last Night at the Marine Tower. The fate of both after the fall of WON-TEC is not known.
Sil-14

**Sil-14** is a body equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the Nissan Silvia S14 Kouki with different variants seen across the game, including Sil-14K (K's) and Sil-14Q (Q's), as well as Sil-14specR (a S14 with internal parts of the S15 model, whose body is not featured in-game).

The most iconic Sil-14 seen in the game is Makoto Sawaki's white Sil-14Q, equipped with Aero-GT, which plays a significant role in 1st Night and 2nd Night before the car is wrecked in the climax Taiman battle between Sawaki and Sho Akasaki, leaving its brake as a chassis part obtainable in the 3rd Night at Bodyshop Muraoka and a tail light kept by Ikki Fujisawa in a remembrance of the accident.

Nanako Aoyama

**Nanako Aoyama** (青山 菜々子) is a former member of Yokosuka Black Knights, which she placed into hiatus due to financial difficulties, and the host of unofficial races at Bay Lagoon and South Yokohama (in certain nights; she also is the one who introduced UORs to the player). She drives a blue Celine-FOUR (Toyota Celica GT-Four).

Aoyama also participated in the Daikoku PA gymkhana race hosted by the C-1 Road Stars in the 9th Night, before being hired by WON-TEC by the endgame, protecting the Bay Lagoon complex and encouraging Akasaki to complete all unofficial races.
Freddie Roberts

**Freddie Roberts** is an American leader of the Takashima VICTORY ROAD team, famous for the chicken game-style drag racing at the Takashima Wharf in North Yokohama. He is known for being able to stop the closest to the edge of the bay in the chicken races, but speaks Japanese poorly.

He drives a two-tone black and gold Danger-V8 (Chevrolet Camaro); he used it to take part in the Qualifying round of the Yokohama GP (where his surname is mispelled as "F. Roverts" during the introduction scene; the translation patch fixes this by using full names for all the participants).

Roberts was a friend of John Truth and Forza Rush until the two joined WON-TEC, as shown when he resisted their offer to join WON-TEC for their Driver program in the 9th Night.
Tensei Yabuki

**Tensei Yabuki** (矢吹 天成) is a character from the Wangan GALE team. His car is a red and white two-tone, Aero-C equipped 33typeR (Nissan Skyline GT-R R33).

He is one of the competitors in the qualifying round of Yokohama GP (although he failed to qualify for the finals), with his first appearance being in the chapter prior, spotting Kyoji Nanba's Diablo-tuned Seven-RX with Shingo Muraoka, who had found and rescued him from the Bay Lagoon Tower (as revealed in the 11th Night; the rescue possibly takes place before the 6th Night). Yabuki does not remember anything from his past, although he does recognize Sho Akasaki (possibly from the GP qualifiers, if not earlier); for this reason, the name he currently goes with was actually given by Muraoka. He also struggles to speak, although he could speak properly (if briefly) when he saw Nanba's car. Due to these properties, it is implied that he is a former WON-TEC Driver that the corporation imprisoned after he was past their worth.

According to the game's official fanbook, *Gale A Moment*, Yabuki is Windy, Kuniteru Takahashi's old friend (of which his tune shop is named after) who disappeared ten years ago attempting to sneak into Tuneshop Diablo.
Last Battle

**Last Battle** is a track in Racing Lagoon. It is only appears in story mode in Final Night The End of Sweet Dream in the Taiman battle against Heidel Schneider. The track's length is 1890m.

The track starts at an underground tunnel (likely part of the Bay Lagoon Tower) that extends immediately to dockside roads and leads to the Final Battle course. The path on the highway has no wall on both sides, and there is a segment of collapsed road somewhere in the middle of the road. Winning is mandatory to make progress, otherwise the player will see game over screen, similar to Forgotten Hill.

Avenue

**Avenue** is a body equippable and customizable in Machine Complete. The body is based on Nissan Avenir (W11, 1999).

In the storyline, Shingo Muraoka drives a modified model called **Avenue-32R**, equipped with R26B-TT32 engine from the 32TypeR as well using its chassis (effectively resembling a Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech Version mechanically, although the Stagea was based on the R33 Skyline platform); Muraoka's Avenue-32R retains the FF body with no mud guard or foglights despite using a 4WD chassis. Additionally, various variations of the Avenue can also be found on the streets, including those used by the Wakaba Bank.

The Aero-GT body kit features some visual features from the Autech's Avenir Rider body kit, although the real kit does not increase the car's width.

Dark2

**Dark2** is a body equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the Toyota Mark II JZX100. Dark2 can be found as opponent cars on the streets, but it plays no role in the storyline, apart from it (along with an SW-2000) appearing as opponents in a no-brake race at the Graveyard Street in the 4th Night.

The body's neighbor counterpart is Cancer.
Mindy

*This page is for the character Mindy from KVPS.* *For the page on Mindy Kaling, go away.*

## Information

### Status

Alive

**Mindy** is a Church ninja and the daughter of King Neptune, thereby making her the Princess of the Sea, although she has renounced her royal status upon joining the Church.

## History

### Bikini Bottom Saga

Mindy's first appearance is in Chapter 3 of KVPS where she attempts to kill Karkat Vantas under the mistaken belief that he is responsible for the high death toll near the Bikini Bottom Skate-Off (our boy would never!). Before she can do him in, she is interrupted by a surprise attack launched by Nepeta Leijon and Kanaya Maryam, and Karkat is able to escape.

Mindy pwns Nepeta epic style, forcing Kanaya to activate her Board ability, Twilight Zone. Kanaya, using the buffs gained in her vampiric form, manages to overpower Mindy and nearly takes her out. However, at the last second Mindy awakens to her God-given Board ability Click, using it to stop Kanaya's heart inside the Twilight Zone.

Having defeated Kanaya, as well as SpongeBob who had jumped into the fray, Mindy leaves Bikini Bottom and uses a teleportation circle to go to the Shadow Realm. There, she encounters Spider Man's Son and uses Click to read his memories. She decides to let him follow her for unknown reasons.

### Shadow Realm Saga

In the Shadow Realm, Mindy and Spider Man's Son encounter the wandering Board spirit Fun and Fancy Free, as well as her servants Cyberpunk Patrick, Shin SpongeBob, Manaya, and Dark Pearl. The two attempt to leave, but they get hacked by Cyberpunk Patrick's Board FR13ND5 and are forced to attend F3's tea party.
Machine Complete

**Machine Complete** (stylized **Machine COMPLETE**) is an menu that allows the player to customize their currently equipped parts by player in *Racing Lagoon*. It is available in the game's story (from the pause menu, as well from tuning shops and some menus when the player cannot roam freely), as well in the 2 Warrior Battle Mode when loading a story mode data for use in that mode. The menu is modeled after *Final Fantasy VII*'s materia menu and *Final Fantasy VIII*'s junction system; during the tutorial explaining this feature, the characters will also compare the feature to equip menus used in Square's contemporary RPG titles.

A player's car is divided into three units: engine, chassis, and body. The player can customize their parts in this menu, and beating another driver (in random encounters and Taiman story races) entitles the player to parts of the defeated car (**Get REWARDS**), and the player also gains EXP, one point simultaneously for all units. If the player loses a random/story race, however, the player can lose one of their equipped parts.
Satoru Kawashima

**Satoru Kawashima** (川志摩 サトル) was the 32-years old researcher known for leading the development of the Diablo drugs for the D-Project, and the older brother of Aoi Kawashima.

Satoru had been alluded by Aoi in the previous chapters and is even mentioned in the background of the name entry screen (being credited with programming WON-TEC's operating system), but his major role takes place in the 10th Night Pain Of Destiny chapter, where was confronted by Akasaki in his laboratory at the Forgotten Hill (Hokkaido). There, he quickly recognized the BLR driver as the project's earliest test subject, in which he was involved in it. He reveals the secrets of the D-Project by giving him a disk that contains all the information about the Diablo phenomenon, WON-TEC and their involvement in the legend of 10 years ago that culminated in the deaths of several Diablo-Zeta drivers, and their involvement in the current resurgence of the Diablo that started with Kyoji Nanba's death.

WON-TEC officials became aware of this disclosure and tried to capture him as they followed Akasaki to the mountain. Kawashima made his escape with his blue WR-2000 (Subaru Impreza WRX), but his escape fails when his car crashes and he is shot dead by Heidel Schneider; during his final moments, he remarked that he was against the idea of manipulating emotions, that the man that he frozen was an innocent person, not a D-Project subject, and saving that man, later revealed to be Akasaki's past self, was the only way of redeeming himself. WON-TEC also promptly confiscated the disk from Akasaki following the encounter.

It should be noted that Kawashima is never referred by name (either in dialogue or in speech boxes) during his encounter with Akasaki; his name is only revealed in the Final Night. Additionally, according to Aoi in that chapter, he, being her brother, shared the same motivation for initating the D-Project because they wanted to seek revenge on whoever killed their parents (their father was the founder of WON-TEC) during a road trip, eplaining why Satoru was the primary source of the information regarding the D-Project.
4th Night Star Fall Night

**4th Night Star Fall Night** is the fourth chapter of Racing Lagoon.

From this chapter, the player can now access North Yokohama, including the Nanpa Chicane challenge.

## Synopsis

Several days following Sawaki's accident, Fujisawa presented the team a piece of Sawaki's Sil-14Q's tailight from the wreck in a team meeting, and encourages the team to pay a tribute to him by joining the upcoming Yokohama GP sponsored by WON-TEC. As Fujisawa was already given a reserved spot for the race by the organizers, he informed the remaining members that there will be only one spot for the rest of the team in the GP.

Following a friendly race, four Zokky cars from North Yokohama belonging to Sakuragicho GRAND TOURERS paid a visit to South Yokohama, visiting all local teams there. The Motomachi Queen's also went to North Yokohama following their encounter with Sakuragicho GT to participate in Takashima VICTORY ROAD's Chicken Races, only to find out that team leader Freddie Roberts did not show up to that race, although Akasaki did race against both teams.

Akasaki returned back to South Yokohama and had a Taiman battle against Akira Tsujimoto, who had earlier spent most of the night at the hospital paying a visit to Sawaki. At the end of the night, Kyoji Nanba was sighted at 3 am in early morning driving his Seven-RX speeding around Stadium Street, being desperate at his dream to participate at the Yokohama GP. Nanba himself had saved money to prepare his car for the race and previously told Akasaki about the story of his late brother, Nenji Nanba, his death ten years prior, why he is the reason Kyoji started street racing, and one particular tuning shop that Nenji liked and Kyoji also wanted to visit.
3rd Night Pieces Of Dream

**3rd Night Pieces Of Dream** is the third chapter of Racing Lagoon.

## Synopsis

The night after Sawaki's accident, Akasaki (and the rest of the Bay Lagoon Racing) found himself still haunted by it, visibly so when he saw the remains of the car at Bodyshop Muraoka. Meanwhile, the Ishikawas began bragging about a so-called "showtime", for which Keisuke tried to blame Akasaki for Sawaki's accident. Furthermore, local street racers began trying to connect Sawaki's accident with a myth surrounding the Bay Lagoon Tower, given the location of the crash and it's sudden construction stoppage. The crash also caused local police to start convincing racers (including Akasaki) to stop street racing, although it went mostly unheeded.

To get over the accident, Akasaki paid a visit to Ikki Fujisawa's mansion, only to meet Aoi Kawashima who told Ikki was not at home. At Johnny's, Yoko Mihara wanted Akasaki to pass a message to Sawaki that she would do her promised date with him, should he recovers in a week's time. Meanwhile, Akasaki and Mihara, alongside Yui Tachikawa, found themselves in the Chinatown Drag Race rematch (something the Motomachi Queen's had promised after their previous encounter) that Akasaki again won.

At the hospital, Akira Tsujimoto told him how Sawaki recruited him to the Honmoku Night Racers. Later, at the Graveyard Street, Akasaki recalled Ishikawa's meeting at the graveyard the night prior, as they hype the Revenge Race, described someone as a "hot-headed idiot jock", after which he finally met Fujisawa, where he tells Sho about the Yokohama's Fastest Legend and how he will surpass him.

9th Midnight Another Name For ANGEL

**9th Midnight Another Name For ANGEL** is the eleventh chapter of Racing Lagoon, itself an extension of the previous chapter, 9th Night Endless Nightmare.

The player cannot visit Yokohama (north or south) in this chapter; if they do, Gamou Kusunoki will block the player's way.

## Synopsis

The chapter begins with Akasaki reflecting over the encounter with the voice at the end of the previous chapter, now that it had dissipated. He had given a hastily drawn map of Hokkaido by Oda, preparing to head there, in secret (from Akasaki's friends), by midnight. However, while travelling to do so, he found himself interrupted by C-1 Road Stars' convoy, who told Akasaki to stay in their turf. At the Daikoku PA, Akasaki met Shingo Muraoka, the leader of Daikoku WAVES, who challenged him to a gymkhana battle there with his team.

Following the race, the C-1 Road Stars caught Akasaki trying to flee away from their turf and challenged him, after which Gamou stated if he could prove that he is faster than Akasaki, he could have a shot at becoming a Driver for a Diablo-tuned car. Choji Todoroki, the retired leader of the Setagaya Road-Stars and Wangan's fastest 10 year ago, immediately arrived and interrupted Gamou, warning him against it and saying that Akasaki reminds him of the Yokohama's Fastest Legend. He reveals his encounter with the decade-old legend, informing him that the legendary racer was so fearless that he survived several major accidents, that his infamous Tama River stunt occurred in a race against him and the (supposed) death of the legend a week later following their rematch at Yokohane in a gruesome accident where several Diablo-Zetas (including that driven by him) piled up in a crash before Todoroki was hit by a steel pipe, in what would he last remember in their encounter. Todoroki also recalls that many of his friends died challenging the legend and there was no change in the situation as the legend continue to loom within the street racing scene.

Reflecting on what Todoroki had said, as Akasaki focused on his trip to Hokkaido, he noticed that the voice had silenced following Todoroki's revelation.
Ikki Fujisawa

* Image
* Portrait

**Ikki Fujisawa** (藤沢 一輝) is a 23-year-old leader of Bay Lagoon Racing who drives a two-tone red and black RS2000turbo (Nissan Skyline DR30 RS Turbo) with an unique Super Silhouette aero kit.

## Synopsis

Fujisawa was originally a member of Hakone Drift Dancers driving a red-black two-tone 86-Lev (this car was later repainted and given to Sho Akasaki), but left after he lost to Miharu Koguchi two years before the game, having attempted to avoid a traffic Elephant. He moved to Yokohama and formed Bay Lagoon Racing in quest of besting the Yokohama's Fastest Legend from ten years ago (having heard of it from his mentor, Manabu Oda); he was ceremonially named such after defeating Honmoku Night Racers in a team battle race.

He lives in an apartment (referred as "F's Mansion") with his girlfriend, Aoi Kawashima. The relationship proved risky for him, due to Kawashima's relationship to WON-TEC, since she was the one who introduced him to the D-Project.

Prior to the 4th Night, he was invited as a special competitor in the Yokohama GP, in which he bypassed the qualifiers. The night before the race, he completed his revenge against Koguchi, but began to hear a mysterious voice when he asked Oda about the Yokohama's Fastest Legend, to which Oda tried to deny its existence, instead convincing him to return to Hakone.

In the Grand Prix, he was defeated by Akasaki, who promptly physically attacked him when he arrived late to the race's afterparty (because of him being possessed by a voice). Looking to get even with him, he challenges him to a Taiman battle around the Bay Lagoon area the morning after the GP, where he crashes on the same corner that Makoto Sawaki did. After leaving the hospital, he drove the Diablo-Zeta for WON-TEC during the Darkness GP (where, upon defeat, vowed to "erase" Akasaki), before returning to a Diablo-tuned version of his RS2000turbo in the final battle. With Ikki being under critical condition because of the Diablo drug, Kawashima attempted to run away using his car and with him on the passenger seat, although Akasaki eventually caught them up. After he was hospitalized again and removed Diablo both from himself and his car, he is seen racing Akasaki on his regular RS2000turbo in the ending.

## North Yokohama

### First appearance

## Minigames

North Yokohama is home to two minigames within *Racing Lagoon*:

### Chicane Challenge

At the Nanpa Chicane, there is a minigame where the player must navigate the chicane's turns from the overworld. There are five segments each, and three possible ratings (measured by the attractiveness of the girl's face) depending on how good one navigates the chicane. When the player attempts to do this, a traffic player will first demonstrate how to get a perfect result, and then if the player proceeds to continue (there is also an option to just pass by), must attempt to get a perfect result on their own. Doing this will allow players to receive bonus items from Yumi Uehara, the girl who appears when the player gets a perfect result on each segment. (Conversely, if the player fails all segments, the player can get the infamous DOSUKOI exhaust.)

To play the minigame, the player must first queue (by pressing Circle behind another driver). It is also not possible to drive from the exit road of the chicane, as an police officer will tell the player that the chicane is a one-way road if attempted.

During the 4th Night, the player must get at least one perfect run for the player to be able to challenge Freddie Roberts in the following chapter. It is recommended the player do so when it is their first encounter with him in the 4th Night.

### Taxi

At the Yokohama Station, there is an optional minigame where the player is required to carry a drunk passenger to an specified location within a time limit of 25 seconds. During this sidequest, the map is hidden and the player must avoid being challenged by random opponents. There is a limit of several successful taxi runs per chapter, and the player cannot use the Yokohane road as a shortcut.

Taxi runs give the player 5,000 yen; the same amount is deducted if the player is caught by a random opponent during the mission. There is no penalty for running out of time.
86-Thunder

**86-Thunder** is a body equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the 1986 Toyota Sprinter Trueno APEX (AE86), Toyota's small and lightweight coupe. Story wise, it is driven by several NPCs seen in background during cutscenes as well as Hakone Drift Dancers' Keiichi Kinoshita.

Equipping a MR chassis on the 86-Thunder turns it into the Toyota MR2 AW11; NPC random opponents drive this combination that is referred as **MR1600** within the game. These opponents use type-AW1 chassis, named after the AW11 MR2.

The body's neighbor counterpart is 86-Lev.

John Truth

**John Truth** is a British member of WON-TEC. He is 40 years old. His car is a black Nightmare (Lotus Europa) with a Union Jack flag on the door.

His first appearance, unnamed, is in the 9th Night, where he and Forza Rush unsuccessfully attempt to recruit Freddie Roberts for WON-TEC's Driver program. His first proper appearance would be at the end of the 10th Night, where he and Rush demanded Sho Akasaki the disk he obtained from Satoru Kawashima; when he didn't, a WON-TEC official confiscated it for them. He also invites Akasaki to the Darkness GP and warned him that he will become WON-TEC's Driver, just like himself and Rush.

Rush and Truth, along with a WON-TEC limousine driver (named Shuei there), can be challenged in the Last Night at the Marine Tower. The fate of both after the fall of WON-TEC is not known. According to Nanako Aoyama, Rush is also who recruited her to WON-TEC to guard the Bay Lagoon Tower complex.
COSMIC

**COSMIC** is a body equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the Mazda Eunos Cosmo. A white COSMIC-RE is driven by WHITE TIGER.

COSMIC appears first in the 11th Night Revival Of The LEGEND chapter. However, the COSMIC body can be purchased earlier at the Tuneshop R.S.D., which is available if the player loses the Taiman battle against Ikki Fujisawa at the end of the Yokohama GP Championship Round.

Racing Lagoon Original Sound Track

Racing Lagoon's orginal soundtrack was composed by Noriko Matsueda, with a few tracks contributed by Takahito Eguchi; it was Eguchi's first compositional role. It has been described as an electronica and jazz fusion, with "fast-paced" music that includes live recordings of saxophones, often more jazz and funk-style arrangements, with electric guitars, bass, organ, piano, Rhodes piano, synthesizers, and acoustic drums. Including more elements of music styles ranging from easy listening, trip-hop, downtempo, breakbeat, drum and bass, rock, techno and film score/horror music.

The soundtrack was released as an album on June 19, 1999 by DigiCube. The two-disc album features 62 tracks and covers a duration of 2:31:03.
"North Yokohama" was an only track performed by Noriko Matsueda.

## Samples

The track "Hakone" features a drum break sample "Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em" by Eric B. & Rakim.

"Final Battle" contains a drum sample of "A Chorus Line" a song by Ultramagnetic MCs. Including a sample featured on "Hakone" track.

The "Bay Lagoon Racing" track was originally contains vocal samples: "Work that body, work that body, make sure you don't hurt nobody, jump around, jump all around" in the demo version of the game (Square's Preview Vol. 4) it's taken from the "Space Jam" by Quad City DJ's.
Germany RS

**Germany RS** is a body equippable and customizable in the Machine Complete. The body is based on the Porsche 911, specifically the 964 Carrera RS, while the name "Germany" refers to the Porsche's country of origin.

A silver Germany-Turbo is driven by Heidel Schneider (in the Final Night, he equipped Aero-Diablo and Color-Diablo to it); another black Germany-Turbo is driven by NPC in Wangan (also North Yokohama in Last Night) that was inspired by Blackbird in Wangan Midnight or real-life the "Yoshida Specials" 930 of Mid Night Club.

If the car is equipped with Aero-Diablo, the rear of the car will resemble a Porsche 911 GT1. Additionally, if the Germany RS is equipped with a FF or FR chassis makes the car's rear resemble the Porsche 959.

10th Night Pain Of Destiny

**10th Night Pain Of Destiny** is the twelfth chapter of Racing Lagoon.

There is no free roaming in this chapter; however the player can perform races against local opponents at the Snow Oval (to get parts from them) and access the Tuneshop Icefield, which behaves similar to the Tuneshop Windy at Hakone, through a menu.

## Synopsis

After the 9th Midnight, Akasaki headed for Hokkaido, as Manabu Oda had instructed. During the trip, while on a motel taking a break the journey, he began seeing dreams that was actually flashbacks to the Diablo-Zeta destruction incident ten years prior.

Arriving at Hokkaido, he continues the journey to Forgotten Hill, the exact destination, but first he makes a stop at the Snow Oval, racing against locals as he prepares for his ultimate destination. During this trip, Akasaki noted that the voice inside him had began to slowly awoken, the voice having desired the visit.

At the Forgotten Hill, Akasaki meets a bearded man, who gives him a disk that contains all the information about Diablo Tune, D-Project, and WON-TEC; during the handover, the voice took over Akasaki (having desired this information, only for the voice to seemingly reject the disk), while lab man noticed Akasaki's strange speech as well as Diablo-tuned engine noises, which meant that WON-TEC officials had followed him. Noticing the engine noises, Akasaki and the lab man promptly escape.

Although Akasaki escaped (with him suffering from a whiteout), WON-TEC officials caught the lab man after his blue WR-2000 crashed; he was then shot dead, as the voice had wanted, by Heidel Schneider. After noticing the killing, Akasaki's voice was awoken once more; despite the voice wanting the lab man dead, Sho was unable to find the exact answer of why the voice inside him wanted that.

With the disk at hand (despite the voice's rejection of it), Akasaki went back home, still unable to understand the occurrences at Hokkaido nor finding any answers to the Diablo phenomenon. During the trip, he noticed that his radio began broadcasting a statement referring to him as a Driver. Following this, Forza Rush and John Truth, along with a Diablo-Zeta, arrived and stopped after Akasaki, demanding the disk he got from the Forgotten Hill; while Akasaki refused, an WON-TEC official confiscated it. Truth also informed Akasaki that he will become WON-TEC's Driver, no matter what, and invites him to participate in the Darkness GP, as the chapter ends.
Bay Lagoon Tower

The **Bay Lagoon Tower** is an unfinished building located in the Bay Lagoon area of South Yokohama. The tower was built during the height of Japan's bubble economy, with the burst of the bubble economy being cited as the official reason for the stoppage of the construction. Mystery shrouded the building, as several unexplained accidents occurred in days leading to the stoppage. According to signs barricading the building in the Bay Lagoon Short and Bay Lagoon Long tracks, the tower is a property of WON-TEC.

By later stages of the game, it is revealed that the tower hosts a secret facility owned by WON-TEC, hosting the D-Sleep chamber and a private prison for Drivers that company no longer use.

## Final Night Track

In the final chapter of the game's story, Final Night The End of Sweet Dream, the player must escape the tower as it collapses (by a self-destruction order) in the final showdown against WON-TEC. (Despite the self-destruction, the building can still be seen in the ending movie.)

The Final Night track, located in the building's basement parking and covered with rubbles, is divided into three stages, of which the player (accompanied by Akira Tsujimoto) must escape before the collapse of the Bay Lagoon Tower in one minute each:

* Bay Lagoon Tower B3
* Bay Lagoon Tower B2
* Bay Lagoon Tower B1

Escaping the tower advances the story; if not, the player must start over from B3 level. Note that, like all other Final Night tracks, there are no maps, and as such GPS parts are useless.
