Moto Rider Sim: Japan Mountain

National Route 168 in Japan has a nickname: the “Kokudo” — the brutal road. Ride all 180 km of it on a motorcycle, from Hirakata in Osaka over the mountains of Nara to Shingu in Kumano! Swing into the oncoming lane to pass slowpoke cars. On the narrow stretches, oncoming traffic cuts right across the center line. Rocks tumble down the cliffs. Hairpins, steep climbs and long tunnels lie ahead. Beat the clock through every checkpoint and ride for the Great Torii of Kumano Hongu Taisha. ■ 8 SECTIONS OF THE REAL ROUTE 168 • Hirakata & Katano: city streets, the Amano River, and the narrow, twisty Iwafune Kaido • Ikoma, Heguri & Oji: the TV towers of Mt. Ikoma and the Tatsuta River • Kashiba → Gojo: twin-peaked Mt. Nijo and persimmon orchards • Tentsuji Pass & Oto: hairpin climbs, the Shin-Tentsuji Tunnel and Saruya Dam • Totsukawa Village: sheer cliffs, falling rocks, Kazeya Dam and the Tanize Suspension Bridge • Totsukawa Onsen & Hatenashi: the Hatenashi Mountains and the Kumano Kodo Kohechi trail • Kumano Hongu: Kumano Hongu Taisha and one of Japan's largest torii gates • Kumano River → Shingu: river boats, Kumano Hayatama Taisha and Gotobiki Rock ■ BUILT FOR SPEED • Top speeds near 250 km/h with speed lines and engine shake • Curves, climbs, descents and road widths modeled section by section • The sky shifts from morning in Hirakata to sunset in Shingu ■ THRILLS AND BONUSES • Squeeze past cars and rocks by a hair for a “CLOSE CALL!” bonus • Rear-end a car, hit one head-on or run into a rock and you go down • Scrape a cliff or guardrail and you lose speed ■ EASY TO PICK UP • Left buttons to steer, right buttons for gas and brake • Notes pop up as you pass famous sights ■ FEATURES • Ranks from “Hirakata Rookie” to “Star of Route 168” • Share your time and rank with friends • Plays offline (ads and sharing need a connection) • English and Japanese Shingu is 180 km away.
