Fatal Racing - Gremlin Cup

Gremlin Cup

Le Grande Royale is the simplest of all courses, featuring a turn which features two alternative roads, various series of winding turns, and a hairpin. The longest circuit of the game (not counting the Bonus Series), taking just slightly over a minute to complete a lap. This is easily the easiest circuit in the game as the course offers no real stunts - thus, if driven through well, pitting may not even be required.

Snake Pass is a short and winding course which has extreme height changes and jumps which constantly change in slope. The final turn and the third to last turn are the most difficult to take for any car. This is probably the most technical course, though the attacks of opponents are easily fended off due to the constant jumping.

Big Dippa features a combination of technical turns and long wide straights. The track features a moving speedbump that often causes a long jump straight into a turn, several hairpins, and even more extreme height changes than Snake Pass. The trademark feature of this track is a long straight that slopes up and down at extreme angles; despite looking dangerous on the track select screen, the car does not take off here.

Death Drop is a maze of sorts; this course has various paths which have a huge impact on laptime. This track has two "roundabouts" which extensively feature this, the first one having a ramp which constantly varies in slope, the second holding one of two pit areas in the middle. The pit area is located off to the right after the two round abouts and the second to last turn. Because of this, it's very difficult to defend your position here because the paths on this course are unpredictable. Note that the manual mentions a drop hazard and there is a flat straight section with warning signs, which may hint at a trapdoor obstacle similar to the one on Reise's Bonus Cup track. Considering all the issues with the latter, it is no surprise that the trapdoor does not appear in this track.

Tsunami Twister is a course which feature a jump which causes the car to barrel roll in mid-air. Due to the poor pitting AI here many of the AI drivers will often end up getting eliminated. The timing on the barrel roll is very difficult; the idea is to turn slightly to the right while slowing down slightly. There is a spoken message to alert you if you are going too slow or fast, but this does not take into account the angle of attack and is therefore not very useful. The pits are located to the left of the first turn, which is quite narrow and short, thus causing some problems when pitting, moreso in the faster cars.

The Bridge is a multiple path oval-like circuit which features a bridge that drops and rises. Next to Le Grande Royale, this circuit is one of the simplest. Like Tsunami Twister, this course also has its pit area off to the left on the first turn, but is nowhere near as narrow or short. The starting straight leads to a series of speedbumps that constantly change height, potentially launching a car over the pitlane or towards a hard landing. A potentially dangerous section of this circuit, at the last turn, features a ravine over which the track splits into two narrow lanes unprotected by guard rails while curving, which also feature moving speedbumps. Taking this section too fast and at the wrong angle can result in one's car jumping or falling into the ravine, causing major loss of time and massive damage.

Siamese is a circuit featuring two loops, a hairpin, and a 270 degree turn. This course's pits are at two locations, similar to Death Drop - one after the first loop, the second after the second loop and the 270 degree turn. The former is located just before the second loop and is therefore not recommended if your car has slow acceleration.

Gateway is the final circuit in the series. This course is oval shaped. It is set in a canyon and introduces a corkscrew followed by a zigzag section with banked walls, a left hairpin and a loop. After the loop is a large jump, which if taken poorly can cause badly damaged cars to miss the pit area after it.
