Dead Racer intro card
Dead Racer is a Glitch cartridge found in the secret above Ruin 12 during the escape sequence. Much like the Acceptance escape sequence itself, Dead Racer has a built-in 6 minute timer. Failing to beat the cartridge in time leads to a death screen and takes the player back to the console menu. Dead Racer's gameplay involves crumbling and breakable blocks, springs, toxic water with a standard 2 second toxic timer, and musks.
Dead Racer consists of 10 levels and offers an infinite number of lives, like any other Glitch cartridge. This means that running out of time is the only way to get a death screen in this cartridge.
Enemies[ | ]
Dead Racer features 1 enemy type:
- Musks - relatively large flying blobs, marked by a cross on their head. They behave similarly to crunches, but are not restricted by chains. After noticing Ash for the first time, the musk will start following him. When close enough to Ash, the musk will charge towards him with a loud growl. Touching the musk kills Ash. Musks fly over solid blocks, but can't see Ash through a solid wall initially.
Trivia[ | ]
- Dead Racer 9 can be skipped by doing a pull-out jump from the starting platform and bouncing off the water's surface into the breakable blocks. This skip is clearly intentional.
- The name of the cartridge is a reference to the NES game Rad Racer.
