[@DezzaSpeed]

Ah yes the only game in the entire franchise to actually be a canonical sequel

[@VanessaMagick]

If I recall right, Diez from HG 2 changed her name to Ditz and started using feminine pronouns. It's almost certainly just a difference in translation but I choose to believe it's the first trans car in gaming

i mean it's fun innit. i like the idea of people absolutely losing their minds at the idea of a toy car from a ps2 car changing pronouns

[@Dylicioussssssssss]

​@@VanessaMagick "If I recall" what on earth are you on about? Literally never and nowhere in the history of the entire universe is it mentioned that Diez is canonically trans, outside of your statement. I personally don't think it's a translation issue (Though knowing what this series can be like sometimes it's a possibility) and more just a neat little easter egg. If we're talking headcanon, though... I'd say the events of HG2 made the drivers so famous that they had to use aliases just to compete in HG3's World Grand Prix, hence why there's "Ditz" and "P.O." rather than Diez and Peo.

I adore how they kept the coin holder from the real Choro-Q cars on the 3D models in this game.

[@Logisticious_gg]

So apparently the Choro Q HG games are the open world adventure ones. Penny Racers is HG 1 Road Trip Adventure is HG 2 Gadget Racers is HG 3 All 3 are the titles of PS2 releases in the EU. It's confusing because different Choro Q games across different platforms and regions will share names or have similar names.

[@Luka9S9]

Penny Races was just races unfortunately, it was on Road Trip Adventure (ChoroQ HQ 2) that they started having a open world, there's also ChoroQ in the west that is the 4th japanese ChoroQ game (yeah, this franchise is a mess in the west)

[@smashkiller64]

Don’t forget Choro Q HG4 Otherwise known as ChoroQ (WHO KEEPS COMING UP WITH THE NAMES!?!)

[@ZipZapTesla]

I think HG (High Grade) is just the name of the universe, since each game has most of the same characters. Otherwise HG4 (Choro Q 2004) didn't have an open world.

[@Sloptire]

Why can't we get games like these anymore? I would play for hours a remastered roadtrip adventure, plus with the technology we got nowadays we could have a way bigger map.

[@mavericknizmo9182]

Big out of touch companies won't bother, hopefully someone in the indie scene will be inspired by these games tho! I mean, "Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom" is sorta like the CQ HG games, but that one is a silly platformer where you are a car

[@MXTV_85]

The magic is working within limitations, and experimenting with how you can maximise Games and movies these days have it entirely backwards and think everyone is happy with 0 substance but perfect graphics

[@christopherc7075]

Also, as a heads up, IIRC some parts with similar themes have synergy, but im not sure how well the game expains this. These include stickers and meters

[@braino64]

my biggest confusion when I switched from road trip adventure to this is: the fact this game has no handling parts, the only way to improve handling is if you combine certain ornaments with decals or honks as far as I am concerned.

[@ZipZapTesla]

2:32 I knew who exactly was gonna be in the house and I was still shocked.

[@player96537]

So, if i remember it correctly, this game doesn't really have a body shop. You have to earn them from wins, at random. Also congratulations on finding the sequel to Road Trip Adventure, made by the same people. The third in the choroq high grade series, the interesting thing about this game is that it wasn't ever released in the US. Parts in this game are interesting, with quite a few different pieces for driving on water, plus some to augment your jump.

[@revichairindra]

so get body you must win race unlike road trip adventure where you can buy body

The music and SFX in these games are *very* early 2000's Japan

You know what Gadget Racers remind me of? Another PS2 racing game called Choro Q. That game was just odd- and then i would go back to Micromachines V4 on the PS2. I recommend either.

[@ZipZapTesla]

They're all part of the same franchise. Choro Q is a toy brand and all the games are based on it

[@LostParadise_]

I swear these games are so esoteric and obscure... they're so cool! You should play the US version called Gadget Racers (its a completely different game to this). I would argue that it's probably one of the most buttoned up game in the entire...franchise? It has the same physics, but is a level/circuit racer with a similar upgrade system, and racing series/leagues that can be unlocked via license tests. The tracks are interesting as well, they're all distinct. It is easily the version I am most familiar with, and is equally as strange and esoteric and obscure and strangely and deeply charming as every other ChoroQ game you've played so far.

19:13 I'll tell you. 43 seconds is IMPOSSIBLE. Because EU versions got a lower framerate than the Japanese version, which means slower game speed. Therefore, under 43 seconds is only possible in Japanese version. I play Japanese version over 20 years and I own a copy of EU version, and I can definitely say, translation in EU version is TERRIBLE. IT'S ABYSMALLY BAD! And 43 seconds to beat one, is one instance on bad localization. Localization team didn't change Nikozo's quote to appropriate times for EU version without realizing about framerate on EU version. Here are actual times you have to beat on Nikozo's stupid game shop. Speed Boat : 0:44.30 Balloon Hover : 1:12.00 Jungle Heli : 1:12.00 Let's Side Jet : 0:34.65 Balloon Hover and Jungle Heli under 1 minute are possible enough on EU version. Let's Side Jet under 28 seconds is impossible unless you use secret trick (no cheat. I have a proof if you need) on EU version. But Speed Boat under 43 seconds is impossible no matter how I tried. 17:49 "Race that took 3 flags to do but actually being easiest one so far" Because you got an Engine +1. Engine +1 drastically increases acceleration, top speed and also TURNING SPEED. Only Normal Engine got a slower turning speed. That's how this game works and its really weird. If you're planning to continue this game but got stuck or something, feel free to reply me, so I can give you a tip. But regardless, here's one tip all HG3 players have to know. Use wheelie on straight, when you can't have high speed due to lack of tire grips (especially on ice and snow). Tire grips will drastically increased while you're doing wheelie, but with exchange of ability to turn.
