This chapter will tell you the different features of customization so you can
customize a good machine.

First, I'll describe creating the actual machine.

There are three parts you can add: Body parts, Cockpit parts, and Booster
parts.

The body part is the actual machine. The cockpit is where you'll pilot the
machine, and the booster is the boost of the machine. You should go to the
shop and check out the best parts there. I mean, like parts with a good A or B
ranking. You can find the list of parts in the machine parts chapter. To scroll
from Body to Cockpit to Booster to Pilot, press R. Once you've customized your
machine, save it. Now on to adding additional touches.

If you want to add color, select your machine from the garage, and select change
color. Now you can use three different meters to change the look of your
machine. Like customizing, press R to shift from part to part. Press Y to save
you colors.

If you want to add an emblem to your machine, select your machine from the
garage, and choose Attatch Emblem. If there is no emblem data, the game will
create a save file. You'll want to select the first slot and then select the
part. Next, select the actual emblem. You can now choose where you want to put
the emblem. If part of the emblem isn't solid, that part won't show up when you
paste the emblem. When you've pasted the emblem, move to the second slot and
choose a different part and do the same thing. You'll be asked to save when you
exit.

Creating an emblem is different. Go to Emblem Editor and it'll create a file for
you. You can do the following:
Draw
This lets you draw whatever you want.

Erase
This lets you erase all things you've done so far.

Fill
This fills the whole background

Draw line
This lets you draw a straight line

Draw circle
This allows you to draw a circle. You can make it any size you want.

Draw rectangle
This allows you to draw a rectangle. You can make it any size you want.

Enlarge edit screen
You can enlarge the screen by a little bit.

Draw and fill a circle
You can draw a circle any size you want and it'll automatically fill it for you.

Draw and fill a rectangle
You can draw a rectangle any size you want and it'll automatically fill it for
you.

Rotate emblem
Pressing the control pad to the right allows you to rotate your emblem.

Invert emblem
This option allows you to... invert your emblem!

Undo operation
You can undo as many operations as you need

Redo operation
You can redo as many operations as you need

Load Emblem
This allows you to load an emblem you've already created

Save emblem
You can save the emblem you're working on

End
You can close the editor here

If you want to change colors, use the C-Stick.

That's it for customizing!

I have recived about ten e-mails asking me this: What's the best custom vehicle
that you can use? The answer: there is no "best" vehicle. Here, I have decided
to post vehicles that other people created. All of them now are from user's of
the GameFAQs message boards, but you can e-mail me with your own if you'd like!
Feel free to send me as many as you have!

NOTE: Please note that some vehicles have more information than others, simply
because they have given  me more information.

ME FROG'S GARAGE!
So far, I only have on car in my garage:
FROST LYNX G4
Aqua Goose?
Super Lynx
Titan-G4
Weight: Somewhere around 1700
ADDITIONAL: Wow... this is one of the best cars in the game. There are many
positive things about it. You can get the parts early, it weighs a nice amount,
and its stats are good (C, B, B I think). If you set its balance all the way to
max speed, then you can get around 1,124 KPH without doing anything else. If you
use a boost you can get up to 1300, and one right after that will take you to
1600. There are many tracks where it can get a very nice lead over others. Like
in the first level of Port Town, on that huge drop off. If you hit the three
boosts, look at the map when you fly off the drop off and you'll see how far
ahead you get from your opponents.

Also in Trident, it's handling doesn't allow it to go out of control that
easily, so you can boost on those thin paths without fear. But, like all
customs, it has some flaws. Like in Lighning: Half Pipe. There is NO WAY you'll
be able to go through the whole thing at max speed boosting on turns unless you
are very skilled. Its handling is good in some places, but it isn't in others.
Also in the first level of Big Blue, it is hard to make it get through that
tight S turn. Still, with excellent max speed (it goes over 1000 even when it is
100% acceleration) and balanced stats, this machine can win you all the cups on
all the difficulties. It did for me.

In places like Green Plant: Spiral, some of the turns can be difficult when
you're on max speed. But that makes up when you're on the straightaways and
going 1124 kilometers per hour. Some 90 degreee turns can mess you up, but
others give you a HUGE advantage. For example, the turns in the final lightning
track (AX cup), the majority of those are no problem, but on Aeropolis:
Multiplex some turns can mess you up. Still, USE THIS MACHINE! You will LOVE it.

0-900 time (balance on 100% acceleration): ~1.8 seconds

Even on 100% speed in the balance setting, it only goes to 1,021 km/h (993 km/h
for 100% acceleration). Ideal for highly technical courses like Drift Highway,
Serial Gaps, etc., but terrible on speed tracks like Split Oval.

only because I didn't know the track.

    Body: B
    Boost:B
    Grip:   B
Weight: 2000 kg
Parts:
    Valiant Jaguar
    Super Lynx
    Titan-G4
Additional:
    The car handles EXCELLENT! Absolutely NO sliding no NOTHING! (Except
speed cornering and         other good stuff) This is the car that I
ALWAYS use. It's not THE fastest cause it's so heavy, but it
makes up for this with Boost, Cornering, and most importantly.......
SPEED.
    (P.S. I have won EVERY SINGLE TRACK IN FIRST PLACE USING THIS EXACT
CAR)
    (Except the tracks I haven't unlocked ;)

Car:
King Neptune
    Body: A
    Boost:B
    Grip:   B
Weight: 2380 kg
Parts:
    Grand Base
    Super Lynx
    Titan G-4
Additional:
    This car is the best STAT WISE but it makes up for this great-ness
with one "minor" flaw... It's              HEAVY! Enough said....

Car:
Flying Lobster
    Body: D
    Boost:D
    Grip:   D
Weight: 880 kg
Parts:
    Liberty Manta
    Moon Snail
    Saturn -SG
Additional:
    This is what I consider my fastest car (cause it's SO DANG light).
And as a BONUS It ALSO has         great handling! (BONUS) But..... I
still prefer my Berserk Lynx-G4...

Car:
Shining Swallow
    Body: D
    Boost:C
    Grip:   C
Weight: 1200 kg
Parts:
    Funny Swallow
    Bright Spear
    Tiger -RZ
Additional: This is ALMOST as fast as my Flying Lobster but NOT QUITE.
And as a downfall, my Swallow has POOR handling. (I mean it's kinda good
but it's SO DANG SENSITIVE!!!) That's all.


Those are all the customs I have right now. If you have one, e-mail me with it
and I'll post it!

Burning Lynx-G4
Body: Fire Wolf
Cockpit: Super Lynx
Engine: Titan-G4
Status: B
         B
         B
Weight: 1840kg
Additional: This machine is one of the Lynx brothers, and
like the others it's a really good machine. It gets the
same max speed of 1124, but there is a catch. It has way
better turning than the others. I've been able to get
almost every turn, some of them while boosting. Plus, I
beat Emerald Cup on Master and got 421 points. Looks good
to boot.

Frost Bird-G4
Body: Aqua Goose
Cockpit: Spark Bird
Engine: Titan-G4
Status: C
        B
        B
Weight: 1770kg
Additional: This machine is almost as good as the Burning
Lynx. It has close to the same max speed, although it
doesn't have as good turning. It is a lot better to kill
people with due to it's size.
