Something is wrong with this game. There is not enough fuel in stage 05.

As you probably remember, stage 5 on Level A was already a nightmare (you can only get destroyed once. If you get destroyed twice, the game is over). On Level B though, there is simply not enough fuel. You always run out of gas near the end of the level. Is there something I am missing?

I am missing out on what the new thing in stage 06 was for Level B.

What is the difference between A and B for the other levels?

Much more purple cars, less hearts, that blue dead driver coming on your tail and pushing you aside. All in all, it gets a lot harder!

Yes
Stage 01: Cars become much more packed (the space between two consecutive cars is halved)
Stage 02: Occasionaly, an ugly blue car appears from behind and races all the way to the top
Stage 03: Behind large trucks there is some weird rotating red bomb thingy
Stage 04: The rotating red thingy starts moving left and right too
Stage 05: rotating red thingy is there and now you have THREE blue cars running you from behind, plus there is no way to finish the friggin' level since there is not enough fuel. This is pretty hard if you ask me.
Stage 06: Legends have been told about this stage. The Zulu tribes dance around the fire in Africa and sing songs about this stage. This is a myth... a legend. It is Break shot. It is Goonies 2 for the MSX... well... just kidding

On stage 6 (Level B) I only noticed two black cars coming from behind at the same time. They appear twice in the stage.

wait, you actually finished Stage 5? Did you cheat?

I modified the ROM to some get extra fuel
But perhaps, when you are almost out of fuel, and the car reduces its speed, you can hit other cars and the road limits to get some extra speed. I managed to reach the last straight of stage 5 in that way.

Here is a capture of stage 6, level B:

Hunch: Might the fuel-prob a 50Hz/60Hz issue, or is level5 unbeatable on both?

Didn't anyone notice that the houses' shadows suggest a different light source than those trees?

True Two suns on that planet

Hey... they are not houses... "house" and it´s "shadow" are just paint on the snow...

But also notice that player´s car´s shadow is also on the wrong side compared to trees...

And black cars are vampires as they don´t have shadow at all...

no, just kidding, they all (cars, road, and scenery) are painted on different position on each frame....

and painter at Konami had no knowledge about light and shadows...

It seems Konami noticed this bug and released a fixed version. Comparing two ROM dumps I discovered that the one with CRC32 = 01DDB68F has less hearts than CB82D8C9 version. I checked it and it is possible to finish stage 5 on level B

Can someone provide an IPS patch for that?
