Apathetic Citizens | |
| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: The first game features pedestrians in the course who are just basically crossing briskly across the street. They give 0 shits when there is an illegal street race ongoing and cars just blazing through them (though pedestrians would steer clear of the drivers, making running over them impossible). | |

Fortune Teller: At the end of a race in 3, depending on your performance, the game reads your fortune (in style of Omikuji) for certain days of the week ranging from great fortune to small fortune (possible machine trouble on Friday) to great misfortune (bad luck on weekends, with the game outright telling you not to drive). | |

Gameplay Grading | |
| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_4577bd49 | comment |
Gameplay Grading: After the race, you're shown an End-Game Results Screen detailing your skills in a web chart (accompanied by a rank, such as "Gentle Driver", "Role Model", "Need More Guts" etc.), your performance in the different sections of the course, in addition to your overall score. In 2 and 3, the results screen will also include a list of any and all moving violations committed and instances of property damage, which includes things such as ignoring traffic signals, going through an occupied railroad crossing when a train has not completely cleared it, and smashing road-works, as well as how many demerit points (according to Japanese traffic laws) said violations will cause a licensed driver to incur. | |

| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: All three games by default use Japanese yen as the currency for which monetary values are displayed, as well as an option to change it to US dollars, using an exchange rate that was commonplace during the nineties (100 JPY = 1 USD). The second game in particular had additional currency options beyond JPY and USD, and these are Euros and Hong Kong dollars. | |

Songs in the Key of Panic | |
| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_868e6134 | comment |
Songs in the Key of Panic: Present throughout the series. With 0 accidents, the background music is intense but upbeat. After 1-2 accidents, it becomes like something out of a horror game. 3 or more accidents, and the soundtrack turns into a panicky, discordant cacophony to let you know that you really screwed up. However, if you manage to get nearly through the course without a single accident, it becomes a Near Victory Fanfare, turning it into an angelic but even more uplifting tune. | |

Joke Character | |
| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Joke Character: The game adds secret cars that can be used. The first game allows you to play as a school girl who for some reason runs 6 times faster than Usain Bolt. The third game has a giant rubber duckie with wheels on, which the police address you as "Mr. Ducky" ("Ahiru-chan"note アヒルちゃん, "Duck-chan" in Japanese, "Coin-Coin"note lit. "Quack-Quack" in French). However these secret cars perform as par as the regular cars, making them more like Lethal Joke Characters. | |

Karma Houdini: The player gets no punishment for reckless driving. Averted big time for accidents: not only do they negatively affect your score, but between the damage counter, screams and ambulance sirens, it's strongly implied that your disregard for road safety has resulted in the injury and death of innocent people. Also, if the police are after you and you pull over, you get arrested. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Thrill Drive (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: The Korean version of the first game is unique for having the Continue Screen feature, whereas other versions would rather end the game when the time runs out. If enabled, it makes the time limit stricter to the point where you must cross the next checkpoint with equal or better speed without causing an accident. When you run out of time and coin up, the music and weather will reset back to the "zero crashes" state and you are allowed to continue racing, which would've Subverted this trope had it not been for the fact that your overall performance also resets each time you continue. | |

Empathic Environment: In the first game, the weather changes each time you crash, turning from bright and sunny to gloomy and overcast and finally a thunderstorm. No longer the case in the sequel due to all three courses now featuring their preset weather condition (Night for Japan, Sunset for USA, Foggy for Europe; the weather intensity can also be set by holding the shifter up or down in the selection menu), while in the third game these weather options are chosen by the pre-race selection menu. | |
