New Space Order - References in Ridge Racer

References in Ridge Racer

There are several references to Xevious in Ridge Racer. Two bonus cars have this game as a sponsor, a red car, "RT Xevious Red" and a green car, "RT Xevious Green". They were used in the PlayStation version of Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Revolution, and Ridge Racer 64. In R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 and Ridge Racer 64, a racing team has this game as a sponsor, donning a silver with blue stripes paint scheme, as well as their racing number, 02. The team is named "RT Solvalou", and they are a "hard" team, while in Ridge Racer 64, "RT Solvalou" is one of the four cars the player starts with. Ridge Racer 7, for the PlayStation 3, features a playable version of this game during the opening sequence. Players are given two lives in order to reach a pre-set high score. The full Xevious game is unlockable through completing part of the single player, offline Ridge Racer grand prix and UFRA circuits.

In Ridge Racer 3D one of the unlockable cars is the Solvalou, piloted by Pac-Man with sheonite shaped objects in front.
