Mount Akina
Mount Akina is the first mountian pass that you will ever see in the series, however in the 									
game you won't see Akina till the 4th stage. There is a good reason why you won't see this
map till the 4th stage. The Akina Speed Stars are the top racers of this pass, and the 
leader of the team is Cole. Although Cole is the so called "leader" his skills are far 
from reaching perfection. Tak is the true leader and legend of this mountain pass. Thus the 
last character you have to beat is Tak. This mountain pass is one of the toughest maps that
you have to defeat in order for you to move on. Akina have all that you can name for a 
mountain pass to be difficult. It has corners after corners and long runs too, and near the
end is a  5 consecutive hairpin turn that throws the dirver off of balance. Not only do you
have to defeat the mountain pass itself but you would also have to defeat those who dwell
in the pass. When you beat everyone till the second last, R.Y shows up. R.Y the 3rd top
driver of the pass. He is difficult because he does not make any mistakes, the only way
that you can beat R.Y is throught beating him in speed of the turns, at this point R.Y 
does not show his true skill of his RX-7 but none the less he is still a very difficult 
driver. When you beat R.Y, tak comes along and thats when the trouble starts. Tak 
through the story had been driving Mount Akina for the last 5 years, he knows the pass
inside out. To beat Tak you must finish  the pass faster than you had before, because 
like R.Y, Tak doesn tnot make any mistakes. The only reason for  Tak to be loosing is 
because his car doesn't have enough power as yours. Thus to beat Tak perfection is to 
be reached, however once you beat Tak the last of your oppnent of the pass shows up, 
Bunta Tak's father. Bunta was and is still the best driver of the Akina mountain pass, 
never had he been defeated from this pass. His skill reach perfection, not only his skill
but his car is also very outstanding. He drives a WRX STi Version of a Subaru, and it's
4WD for the tough drifts. Bunta is almost Impossible to beat, he is fast and perfect in
every turn. The only thing you can do about Bunta is to win by mere extreme speed and not
even One mistake.

Mount Myogi
Mount Myogi is the first mountain pass that you will ever start playing on. This map is plan 
simple, it's designed for any beginners to play on. Mt. Myogi only has 1 driftable turn
which is located at the middle of the pass. If faced correctly you will loose almost no
speed turing at that corner. As you can see in the video, when performing a drift you want
to be outside of the turn and then drift your way in and then out again. When performing the 
turn you have to break first, then down shifr and depending on the angle and the lenght of the
corner do you either pump the gas pedal through or run it through. On this particular pass
this corner you would only need to brake a little bit once and then you can accerlate 
through the turn. In the video you can see that I had make a critical mistake of breaking
and turning too early, that is what happens when you break and turn too early. The car
hits the rail and get stuck there for a period of time, this slight period of time could
mean the outcome of the whole race. As you advance further into tha game you will learn 
that as the oppenet grows more difficult the less mistakes will they make.
