# Mission mode A japanese exclusive game, based on a sports manga that involves illegal street racing? No, Initial D Special Stage it is not, this is Wangan Midnight for the PS2! Like the other game just mentioned, this game lets you replay the races done in the manga the game is based of in all of its glory, even though its replay value is inferior to the SEGA's game. Regardless of that, it's still a mode that you wanna play, considering that most of the vehicles that you can unlock in this game can ONLY be obtained by playing through this mode. ##### Series 1: Reina ---

### Tuner mission --- The last part of the mission mode, and probably the hardest one by far. Once you finish completing at least **once** each of the missions given before, this mode will be unlocked alongside the mission mode credits, giving you the chance of unlocking some extra cars from the manga. ##### Missions given --- The structure of this mode is pretty simple, you do six races in a row given to you by 6 tuners of the manga, and you'll be given a rating based on your performance, being E the lowest possible and S the highest one. Once you have chosen the stock car that you want to use for this mode, you'll be given the following challenges to complete: - **Body tune (Yuichi Takagi)**: do a lap around the C1 loop going clockwise.

##### Ratings and possible results --- The game keeps the following rating system in order to decide how well the player has completed each mission:

Rating obtained	Points obtained
S	6
A	5
B	4
C	3
D	2
E	1

Then, once all of the missions are done, the game counts the total amount of gained points to determine the final rating:

Points obtained	Final rating
36	S
26 ~ 35	A
22 ~ 28	B
16 ~ 21	C
9 ~ 15	D
6 ~ 8	E

Finish these races, and if you manage to comply with the requirements shown below, you'll unlock some of the cars used by the characters in the manga: - **Final rating E:** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33) from Ryoichi Teizuka - **Final rating D:** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33) from Jun Sonoda - **Final rating C:** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33) from Yasuo Motoki - **Rating obtained A on the suspension tune with Kazuhiko Yamamoto:** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (BNR34) from Kazuhiko Yamamoto - **Final rating B:** unlocks the Nissan Fairlady Z 300ZX (Z31) from Harada - **Final rating A (with Rikako Ohta doing the engine tune):** unlocks the Nissan Fairlady Z (S30) (type B) from Akio Asakura - **Final rating A:** unlocks the Toyota Celsior 4.0 V8 (UCF10) from Gen Sasaki - **Rating obtained S on the suspension tune mission done by Kazuo Ohta:** unlocks the Mazda RX-7 Type R (FD3S) from Kazuo Ohta - **Rating obtained S on the suspension tune mission done by Kazuhiko Yamamoto:** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) (type B) from Reina Akikawa - **Rating obtained A on the engine tune and suspension tune missions (done by Jun Kitami and Kazuhiko Yamamoto respectively):** unlocks the Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR32) (type C) from Reina Akikawa - **Final rating S:** unlocks the Toyota Supra RZ (JZA80) (type B) from Keiichiro Aizawa - **Final rating S (while doing the engine tune with Jun Kitami):** unlocks the Nissan Fairlady Z (S30) (type C) from Akio Asakura As an important note, you can only unlock ONE car per run at maximum, and the game will first prioritize the car with the lowest requirement to unlock it. For example, if you get a total rank A with the Rikako Ohta mission but you don't even have the reward for getting a total rank of A in general, you'll receive the reward for the second condition described here, as it is the more easier to get. Also, the cars that only require you getting a specific rating in some mission, it is important to note that you cannot even get a higher grade, it has to be exactly that one.
