[edit] Courses

The game features a total of 24 courses (12 unique courses and the same 12 courses reversed) most taken from previous PlayStation games or the arcade-only title Rave Racer.

[edit] Ridge Racer

The first two courses in the game are taken from the original Ridge Racer, although they also appeared in Ridge Racer V. They are both variants on the same course, each featuring different diversions part-way through.

• Seaside Route 765
• Ridge City Highway

[edit] Ridge Racer Revolution

The next two courses are taken from Ridge Racer Revolution and again are both variants on the same course.

• Sunset Drive
• Crystal Coast Highway

[edit] Rage Racer

Courses #5 and #6 are taken from Rage Racer.

• Union Hill District
• Lakeside Parkway

[edit] R4: Ridge Racer Type 4

Courses #7 and #8 are taken from R4: Ridge Racer Type 4.

• Crimsonrock Pass
• Diablo Canyon Road

[edit] Rave Racer

The next two courses are all taken from the arcade-only title Rave Racer. Their appearance here marks the first time these courses have ever been playable outside of the arcades.

• Midtown Expressway (based on Rave Racer's 'City' course)
• Greenpeak Highlands (based on Rave Racer's 'Mountain' course)

[edit] PSP Ridge Racer

The final two courses are based somewhat on the arcade-only Rave Racer.

• Silvercreek Dam
• Downtown Rave City

However the exact course layouts of Silvercreek Dam and Downtown Rave City have not been in any of the previous arcade or Playstation Ridge Racer titles. Although, in typical Ridge Racer fashion, they share (very small) sections of track from previous courses. Silvercreek Dam shares a section of track from Greenpeak Highlands (Rave Racer’s Mountain course), whereas Downtown Rave City shares a section with Midtown Expressway (Rave Racer’s City course).

[edit] Music

The music in the game is a collection of new songs and songs taken from previous Ridge Racer games, arranged across several "discs". All-new songs on Red and Blue Disc put together for the game while Remix and two classic Discs contains a collection of remixed songs from past Ridge Racer titles.

NOTE: All songs on Remix Disc have been remixed by the original composer while all songs on two classics disc have been remastered.
