• Progression: reputation/credits, unlockable cars/parts, driver levels.
• Events & maps: city street circuits, highways, tunnels, night/day cycles, police chase events.
• AI opponents: customizable difficulty and aggression, rubber-banding adjustments.
• Customization UI: in-game garage with visual previews, part stats, and dyno tuning.
• Visuals & effects: tuned lighting, neon underglow, motion blur, particle effects (smoke, sparks).
• Sound: engine and exhaust sounds per car, customizable audio levels, stereo/positional audio.
• Replay & ghost: save replays, export ghost laps for Time Attack.
• Controls: steering wheel, gamepad, keyboard support, force feedback compatibility.
• Performance options: resolution, texture/detail sliders, frame-rate caps, VSync, and scaling for different hardware.
• TeknoParrot integration: arcade-to-PC input mapping, config profiles, memory card/profile import/export, and compatibility tweaks for arcade ROMs.

1. The Rival System: The story is driven by your opponents. Each rival has a distinct personality, car preference, and racing style. As you progress through the stages (Shinjuku, Yokohama, etc.), you are effectively "clearing" these rivals to prove you are the ultimate street racer.
2. The Evolution: The narrative implication is that your car evolves (Tuning) as you win. In the arcade version, this was saved via the card system. In Teknoparrot, you simulate this progression by unlocking cars and tracks.
3. No Ending: Being an arcade game, the "story" doesn't have a cinematic ending like a console game. The goal is to achieve the "Ultimate Spec" and dominate the leaderboards.
