-Road Rash Tracks-
There are 23 tracks across the four games, 7 in RR3,
and five in each the others. One track appears twice;
Sierra Nevada in RR1 and RRCD. It appears to be a
different route, however.
Each track has a different length per level, five
levels per game, bar RR2 which has an (unintentional?)
Sixth level, which crashes out the game.
Generally levels 1-2 are easy affairs not needing an
upgraded bike. Level three is somewhat of a
transition, requiring skill, but still easy enough.
You need to upgrade your bike by this point!! Levels
4-5 are where the big challenges reside, staying on
the road until the end, and not nuking your bike are
tough enough...
All tracks here have their lengths per level bar RR3's
ones where they don't appear on a particular level (eg
Japan on level one) There is a PAR code for level in
game and same for presentation level (so you can
force the game to look at a track not on a particular
level, thus seeing its length, but I don't have a PAR
right now. It's on the cheats page though. If anyone
happens to know these missing lengths (ie Brazil L4,
UK L4, Germany L5, Italy L3, Kenya L2+L3, Japan L1+L2
and Australia L1+L5) email me!!
I also don't have lengths for RRCD all tracks L2-5 as
i'm having problems with my ISO image of this game.
Again, if you know them, let me know.
Grass Valley, CA, USA
This track is pretty fast. Lacking the
Specific features of tracks like Redwood
(Obstacles) or the Desert (sand). Just
lets you get on really.
Lengths: L1: 5.1 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 12.7 miles, L5: 15.0 miles
Redwood Forest, CA, USA
Fairly dense trackside obstacles will
hinder your progress on this one. Aside
from this, Redwood Forest is a fairly
standard trek.
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: 7.9 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 12.8 miles, L5: 15.0 miles
Sierra Nevada, CA, USA
Beautiful backdrop on this level - this
is the chilly higher regions of Cali, so
make sure you bring your woolies.
Lengths: L1: 5.6 miles, L2: 7.7 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 12.6 miles, L5: 15.4 miles
Pacific Coast, CA, USA
In the 3DO version of RRCD, this track (a
slightly different jaunt entitled "The
Pacific Highway") had a sheer drop off
the side of it.
Lengths: L1: 5.3 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 14.4 miles, L5: 15.3 miles
Palm Desert, CA, USA
Rough and dusty. Beware the sand 'puddles'
on this one - get them on your tyres, you
won't steer properly for the next three -
odd turns.
Lengths: L1: 5.7 miles, L2: 7.7 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 12.6 miles, L5: 14.9 miles
Gold Rush, AL, USA
A nifty feature of this track is the way
the trees start to gather more snow about
halfway through the race...
Lengths: L1: 5.5 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.5 miles, L4: 12.7 miles, L5: 15.1 miles,
L6: ??.? miles.
Molokai Express, HI, USA
Quite fast this one, as described. Kelly
is your only real danger/ annoyance here,
(delete as required)
Lengths: L1: 5.7 miles, L2: 8.0 miles, L3:
10.5 miles, L4: 12.6 miles, L5: 15.2 miles,
L6: ??.? miles.
Smokin' Mountain, TN, USA
Two facts about this track: it's very
windy, and Marshall is the resident patrol
cop.
Lengths: L1: 6.1 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.2 miles, L4: 12.7 miles, L5: 15.1 miles,
L6: ??.? miles.
Hoodoo's Revenge, AZ, USA
A nice jaunt through the desert, with the
occasional town to pass through. Plenty
of straights, but deadly, sandy turns.
Lengths: L1: 5.9 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.1 miles, L4: 12.8 miles, L5: 14.7 miles,
L6: ??.? miles.
Maple Run, VT, USA
Most frequently the longest track on any
given level, fairly fast and the best
music in the game. Plus the gayest cop!!
Lengths: L1: 6.2 miles, L2: 8.0 miles, L3:
10.4 miles, L4: 12.7 miles, L5: 15.1 miles,
L6: ??.? miles.
?, ?, Brazil
Beware the cop on this level respawns.
This is the only distinct feature on this
fairly bland ride.
Lengths: L1: 5.5 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.6 miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: 15.8 miles
?, ?, United Kingdom
The best looking track in the game, very
real looking (welsh valleys? lake
district?)
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.5 miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: 17.0 miles
?, ?, Germany
Nazi castles, bratwurst factories, Audi
dealerships, Jurgen Klinnsman commerorative
statues, White Lager Distilleries, Alsation
dog homes and plenty of snow.
Lengths: L1: 5.8 miles, L2: 8.0 miles, L3:
10.3 miles, L4: 12.7 miles, L5: ??.? miles
?, ?, Italy
Great soundtrack, but fairly dull level.
The purple road/ yellow ground scheme maybe
suggests the designer imbibed more than
just the local wine too...
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: 7.2 miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: 12.5 miles, L5: 15.1 miles
?, ?, Kenya
Great idea for a level, though possibly
a little underexploited. Why not have
areas where if you spill off your bike,
you are attacked by animals.
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
?.?? miles, L4: 14.1 miles, L5: 16.4 miles
?, ?, Japan
This is supposed to be downtown Tokyo, but
due to the MDs limitations, it looks like
an Elvis theme park rendered in ermine.
Ugly.
Lengths: L1: ?.? miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
10.6 miles, L4: 14.0 miles, L5: 16.3 miles
?, ?, Australia
Possibly the only tangible acknowledgement
of Road Rash's "Mad Max" influences. This
track is great in every way: great colors,
great music, great scenery, great time!!
Lengths: L1: ?.? miles, L2: 7.8 miles, L3:
10.5 miles, L4: 13.5 miles, L5: ?.?? miles
The City, CA, USA
Suffers from the same problem as RR3s
'Japan' track; IE a city is not feasibly
rendered on a poor little Megadrive...
Looks OK on the 3DO version though.
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: ??.? miles
Sierra Nevada 2, CA, USA
Ive titled this one 'Sierra Nevada v2' for
sake of clarity. Same track as Road Rash
1's Sierra Nevada track, albeit a
different route.
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: ??.? miles
The Peninsula, CA, USA
This suburban idea is something not really
tried before on the 16-bit RR games, and
it works quite well. A good track with
some harsh turns.
Lengths: L1: 5.4 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: ??.? miles
Napa Valley CA, USA
Very rural, this track. Very reminiscent
of Smokin' Mountain from Rash 2.
Lengths: L1: 5.1 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: ??.? miles
Pacific Highway CA, USA
On the original 3D0 version, this has a
sheer drop on the right hand side. The 16
-bit RR engine cannot model this however,
so it's gone. A dull track.
Lengths: L1: 5.5 miles, L2: ?.? miles, L3:
??.? miles, L4: ??.? miles, L5: ??.? miles
