Hack description

As the name implies, "Rad Racer - Easy Type" is a difficulty patch for "Rad Racer". While "Rad Racer" is an awesome "OutRun"-style racing game, it can be very difficult to meet the game's strict time limits. Some players may even miss a high percentage of the game's tracks because they can't beat the first couple levels.

By increasing the amount of time awarded at the beginning of a race, and at many of the game's checkpoints, "Easy Type" makes the game substantially easier while still offering a challenging, well-balanced experience. Alternatively, while not as recommended, the same archive includes an even easier "Baby Type" patch aimed at players who just want to see the levels and don't mind trivializing the experience.

Ok but being difficult to passNelsonPalacios20012021-10-15Version 1.0

Originally SquareSoft tried to make the game more "challenging" because You had to be fast enough to go in checkpoints after checkpoints to be able to continue advancing in the race and without making any mistakes such as speed drops except when taking the curves, bumping into a car, running on the grass, etc.

This patch slightly reduces the difficulty of the game although How many To be able to continue moving forward In the race but anyway it is still difficult to pass but at least it is no longer as desperate as it was from the beginning and there is also the optional patch that is the baby mode that says exactly what it says.
