This makes it a generally more difficult course because the car's tires have much less grip and the visibility is much lower. Initial D Arcade StageĪkina Snow is the same as the normal Akina, only it is snowing and playable at night. However, in Battle Mode, Reverse mode is always unlocked. Only after finishing Legend of the Streets once, Irohazaka Reverse is unlocked. Note: Irohazaka can only be played downhill in Legend of the Streets mode, because the track is a one-way street. This costs 60, points, and rewards double that if the run is completed in the time allotted. There is a four course mode in which the user makes a timed run of all four courses. However, the card must be renewed every 50 plays. Players can continue progress with their cards on another Initial D cabinet of the same version. Using the optional magnetic card system, players can save a customized car and their progress for future sessions otherwise, game progress is lost. In Initial D Arcade Stageplayers race against different opponents in various mountain passes featured in the manga.
