* AnAesop: Upon reaching the goal, the game gives you this surprisingly heartfelt speech about the true meaning of bike racing:
--> “Enduro” is a symbolic journey through life via the media of a race. The results are insignificant and what really counts is competing. Of particular importance are the lessons to be learned concerning one’s self from the various encounters you experience along the way. There is no victor or loser in this test of endurance. The only thing that matters is that you make a commitment to begin the long and trying trek. This game is then dedicated to all of the “life riders” who have started out on the solitary trip to find their own individual limits. Last, but not least, may we sincerely congratulate you on a perfect run.

* DifficultButAwesome: The wheelie. On one hand, it's really satisfying to perform it on every ramp and even let you skip the obstacles underneath. At the same time, this is very easy way to crash into something, because you can't control your bike in midair. Like many arcade racing game, the game can only afford one or two mistakes before it becomes impossible to complete the course in time, so you need to contain yourself to use it wisely.

* TimedMission: As with other Sega racing games like ''VideoGame/OutRun'', the whole game is on a strict time limit that only replenishes in checkpoints. On default difficulty, you can't really afford more than a single mistake to make it.
