Judgment

Yagami builds and tunes a drone to scream through Kamurocho courses. Spans D-League up to the Champion League plus Time Trials; completion demands 1st place across the Champion League and clearing the Time Attacks.

• Upgrade parts at the Drone Lab with cash and materials — prioritize the Quickstarter (boost start) plus acceleration and top-speed parts to climb the standings fast.
• Learn each course, brake just before corners, and never miss boost gates or item rings — your racing line is your time.
• Late leagues effectively require maxed parts — farm materials via side cases and gigs before tackling the Champion League.
• The Grand Prix lets you suspend and save between races — if you lose even one course, reload and redo just that course. It's the most reliable way to clear the Champion League.
• The top-speed SMZ Mikoshi/Chariot frame has only 50 durability and gets wrecked on narrow, collision-heavy tracks. Swap to the S-ONE Adamant/Kongo frame (200 durability) for the tight Champion League courses.
• Don't scavenge material pickups — buy them. Grind cash with Dice & Cube at Paradise VR and bulk-buy materials from Ebisu Pawn, Dragon Palace, and L'Amant to finish the parts collection far faster.

A sugoroku-style board game in a VR arcade: roll dice, move across spaces resolving each event, and beat your rival to the goal for big payouts. A strong run nets hundreds of thousands to millions of yen, making it a great money source.

• Your score is based on leftover dice and items collected on arrival — detour to event spaces for items, but watch you don't run out of dice.
• Standard rules let you keep items even if you run out of dice; Challenge rules give you nothing unless you reach the goal — gauge your greed to the ruleset.
• You choose your movement direction freely, so route toward bonus spaces or tiles that hamper your rival.

A classic batting minigame split into Home Run and Challenge courses. Completion requires clearing every stage of both — including the notorious Home Run Hell course.

• Move the yellow cursor onto the red ball marker in the 3x3 grid and time your swing — matched position plus timing yields a home run every time.
• Each pitch has a different speed — swing almost instantly on fastballs, wait a beat on change-ups.
• Buy the Batting Gloves (3,000 yen) and Golden Bat (30,000 yen) to widen the timing window and ease the hard courses.

Darts with 01, Cricket, and Count-Up rules. Fiddly feats like Hat Trick (three bullseyes), Ton 80, and Three in a Bed tie into completion.

• Aim with the Left Stick, then release in the dark-pink center band of the power meter for a dead-on throw.
• Better darts widen the on-target band and slow the meter, so kit out before chasing feats.
• Hat Trick just needs all three darts in the bull (inner or outer); Ton 80 needs three triple-20s in one round.

Japanese mahjong. Play a Full Game (East-South, min. 8 hands) or Half Game (East-only, min. 4 hands); Tachibana Mahjong adds the high-variance Wareme rule. Completion spikes in difficulty if you don't know the rules.

• Turning on Kuitan (open tanyao) and Red Dora makes it easier to score off simple or open hands — play for fast, frequent wins.
• Buy the Nine Gates Tile cheat item from Onodera's Wares for 10,000 SP to rig the wall and win reliably.
• In Wareme the split-tile player's wins and losses double — play safe when you're on the split, and press hard when an opponent is.

Japanese chess: captured pieces can be dropped back onto the board and pieces promote in the far ranks. Alongside live matches, the Tsume Shogi (mate-in-N puzzles) count toward completion.

• Once you befriend Onodera (Chapter 5) you can buy 'The Basics of Shogi' cheat for a little SP — it suggests your next best move and makes matches far easier.
• Re-dropping captured pieces decides games — drop pieces near the enemy king to force checkmate.
• Tsume puzzles have fixed solution lengths — consult a guide when stuck, and memorizing mate patterns makes later puzzles easy.
• Buy 'The Basics of Shogi' cheat from Ebisu Pawn rather than Onodera (30,000 SP) — far cheaper, and it's never consumed, so press Triangle every turn for an endless stream of best-move hints.

A full gambling suite: Blackjack and Poker at L'Amant, Koi-Koi and Oicho-Kabu at Dragon Palace. Buy chips at 100 yen each and build up to the 30,000-chip completion target.

• Oicho-Kabu (get close to 9) is the simplest, most efficient way to farm chips — bet big when confident.
• In Poker only raise on a strong made hand; in Blackjack follow basic strategy and stand on hard 17+.
• Pick up the gambling cheat items beforehand to speed the chip grind to completion.
• Blackjack is the fastest chip farm — full-bet and save/load until you win, then double-down whenever your first card is 10+ to net double a round.

SEGA's 1995 3D fighter Fighting Vipers, emulated faithfully. Completion just requires beating the first seven characters (up to Raxel) in single-player. Its signature gimmick is breakable armor.

• Built on the VF2 engine — Punch, Kick, Grab; Punch+Grab throws. Use the walled-in arenas to pressure opponents.
• Heavy hits shatter enemy armor and ramp up damage — break both upper and lower armor to close out rounds.
• You only need to reach Raxel, so learn one or two combos and a throw on a single character and rush the CPU down.
• The CPU's grab hitbox is brutal — get close and it eats your throw and grabs you first. Back-dash or back-jump into the corner at the start and just spam crouching light punch to keep distance and win at a high rate.

A spread of SEGA classics across Kamurocho's two Club SEGAs: Fantasy Zone, Puyo Puyo, and VF5 FS on Nakamichi St.; Space Harrier and Motor Raid at Theater Square. Playing each cabinet is a completion item.

• Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone are pattern shooters — memorize enemy spawns to progress reliably.
• In Puyo Puyo chain by linking four same-color blobs; in Motor Raid hug inside lines on corners and bank your boost.
• VF5 FS is a deep fighter, but casual play is enough for completion — just learn one character's bread-and-butter combo.
• In Space Harrier the biggest points come from each stage's end boss — just survive and dodge, and clearing the second boss basically locks in the required score.

Yagami's social system of befriending Kamurocho's residents. Filling each friend's meter to 100% raises City Reputation, which gates Side Cases. With so many friends, it's a heavy chunk of completion.

• Shopkeeper and staff friends trigger events just by buying from or dining at their store — patronize shops as you pass through.
• Buy the Bottomless Stomach skill (5,000 SP) to eat even when full and blitz the meal-based friend events.
• Dialogue choices in friend events never penalize the meter, so answer freely; note some friends gate behind story progress or other friends.
