Full Throttle is a point-to-point racing game in which the player drives a Mazda RX-7 [FC] and must reach each stage's end-of-level checkpoint before the time limit expires to progress to the next stage.
The car is equipped with a limited number of nitro boosts (3 by default) that gives the car a temporary burst of speed when engaged. Forked junctions appear mid-way through each stage, allowing players to choose which route they wish to take.
TRIVIA Full Throttle was released in October 1987 in Japan. It was known outside Japan as "Top Speed".
The Japanese version has a territorial notice not allowing to play outside Japan.
All versions show speed in a kilometer per hour, even the US release.
Full Throttle can be converted into Chase H.Q. - one of Taito's police themed games.
This game is Taito's response to Sega's "Out Run". This game was the forerunner of the Taito Z system on which Taito's driving games were based from 1988-91 (You can spot some similarities with "Continental Circus", the first of the Taito Z games).
The player is given to control a red Mazda RX-7 [FC].
Despite having been released in Japan, Full Throttle is fully in English.
Hardware design is misspelled in staff roll as 'Hard wear design'.
Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (The Ninja Warriors: G.S.M. Taito 1 - D28B0001) on June 21, 1988.
Zuntata Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Zuntata History L'ab-normal 1st - ZTTL-0038) on April 1, 1999.
TIPS AND TRICKS
You don't get bonus points for unused turbos. You don't get a bonus turbo either, so use all the turbos during a stage, but not all at once. Using all 3 turbos one after another results in control loss caused by too high speed.
Shift gears at around 160 km/h.
Fastest route: choose the left fork at stage 3, take the right fork, then left at stage 4, whereas stage 5 requires you to take left fork first, then right.
Watch out at stage 2: you may hit a tree or rock so fast you'll need to wait up to 10 seconds before you return to the road.
Sometimes pulling the steering wheel to the limits is a wrong move. You should turn the wheel with smaller force, mainly at fast turns.
