Editing Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally

'''''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally''''' is a racing video game released in [[Japan]] for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. It is the sequel to ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'', although the two games are very different. Like its predecessor, it too was subject of a tournament which was held from April 14 to May 31, 1988. The top 100 players of each class of car received a trophy in the form of a gold car of their class encased in quartz crystal with their name and rank on the base. Thus, there are 300 such trophies. They and thousands of runners-up and raffle winners received a "Pretty Mini", which is a yellow stationery set in the form of Diskun, the FDS mascot. It is similar to a white stationery set that was sold in stores.<ref>[https://pony.velvet.jp/fcdisk/fdsidxmnlsealallst6.html]</ref><ref>[https://famicomworld.com/workshop/articles/the-holy-grails/holy-grails-stationary-set/ Types of Pretty Mini stationery sets]</ref> They also received mock driver's licenses.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky8UJqmhR_I Video of the prizes]</ref> The game supports the {{wp|Famicom 3D System}}, allowing the player to see the screen in three-dimensions by wearing a specialized set of goggles. The game's name makes note of said capabilities.  

''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' marks the first time that [[Luigi]] appears taller and thinner than [[Mario]] on a game's box art, though this design was established in official artwork in the film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''.

''Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally'' is a racing game with similar gameplay to that of ''{{wp|Rad Racer}}''. There are three different courses in the game, and they all have several multiple paths that split up that players can choose between. Before the race begins, the player can choose a repair point. This acts as a check point that repairs damage sustained by the vehicle, such as when it crashes into obstacles. A damage indicator on the bottom right of the game will display the vehicle's condition; once the damage indicator is fully depleted, the game will end. The player can opt to pause the game and select "Repair" from the menu to avoid this, but depending on how much damage the vehicle has sustained, the longer this repair will take. Prior to each race, the player can set one check point as a designated repair point with flashing signs, instantly recovering some damage when it is passed through.

The game is not a traditional racing game in the sense the goal is not to finish first, but rather to finish before the timer ends. The player starts with 20 seconds in the "Time Bank". Each alternate path, or "leg", of the course has a predetermined expected time frame of completion. If players do not meet that time frame, the seconds from the Time Bank will subtract. However, if players finish the leg in under the expected time indicated, the seconds remaining from it will be added on to the Time Bank. If the Time Bank is fully depleted, the vehicle will automatically switch to neutral transmission and begin gradually slowing down as long as it is not angled downhill; if the vehicle stops with an empty time gauge, the game will end.

Scattered throughout the course, usually in groups of five, are [[Hot Dot]]s: collecting eight of them will grant the vehicle an additional gear for a temporary 15 seconds that allows it to speed up to 300 km/h.

|Tall streetlamps that appear regularly spaced alongside roads, most commonly in city areas. Due to their height, they cannot be jumped over without the Hot gear being active.

|Medium-sized stone plinths that appear rarely in unpaved areas. They can appear anywhere beside or on the road an can only be leaped by the tallest standard jumps.

|Inverted checkpoint signs appear in a few areas, usually cities. They are medium height.
