Wondered ever from where Black box got idea for canyons, the best thing in this game together with drifting in canyon? I tell ya.
Tōge is word from Japanese which mean "pass" or more directly "mountain pass". It's simple word for mountain roads and passes. Japanese illegal racers use those roads to race. There are even types of races which are set on those roads.
There are 3 main types of tōge battles:
I)Cat and mouse/sudden death
The cars start almost bumper to bumper (one in front of the other). The lead car wins if the space between the cars increases considerably, while the following car wins if it decreases the gap between the lead car. If any car spins out or crashes, the other car wins the race. In the event of the following car keeping pace, the race is usually rerun with the positions swapped.
This style of battle is often chosen when the road isn't wide enough to allow passing, but if the car in front does indeed somehow get passed, the overtaken car loses if he does not re-pass.
II)Grip Gambler
If the road is wide enough, this method comes into use. Instead of the lead and chase type of start, the cars are lined up next to each other. If there exists a power handicap, a rolling start would be employed up until the 1st turn. Whoever is in the lead at the end of the "tōge" road, is the winner. Then if the chaser manages to keep up they switch roles until someone wins.
III)Time attack/ghost battle
Ghost battles are challenges in racing. Opponents do not actually race at the same time, instead, they are timed separately over a particular length of road and the racer with the quickest time wins.
Spontaneous tōge battles may also be initiated by random encounters between racers on the street. The challenge is communicated through the use of the hazard lights, then, depending on the race setting, one of the first two tōge types is chosen for the battle.
As you can see Cat&mouse/sudden death type is nearly pure Canyon duel(black box just added points mechanic to it). Grip Grip Gambler in Carbon is Simple Sprint.
Timeattack is race for best time(closest counter part in Carbon is Checkpoint in Canyon)
Ofcourse in Carbon we have other types of mountain roads(Canyons, foresty mountains(like Touge) deserted mountains etc.)
Show your thoughs about that.
