Canyon Crusade is the first race course on the Grape Cup in Pac-Man World Rally as well as a battle arena.
Description[]
It is a big canyon (as the name suggests) which is surrounded by lovely water. There are many cactuses throughout the course, but they are just scenery and don't affect the racers. Once the race begins, the racers must take a path followed by multiple turns left and right with a ramp used for jumping, so racers can get speed boosts. There is a edge right after a turn which will lead clumsy racers to the water below. Then, the racers must jump over a small gap before reaching the bottom of the canyon near the water and some palm trees. Once at the bottom, the racers must avoid some big scorpions to prevent being knocked over or squished flat. Once passed the scorpions, the racers must use the boost pads to boost and make large jumps over three huge gaps, racers must be careful as getting hit by Pac-Bombs, Pac-Dora Boxes over the gaps or Galaga Ship shots will make them fall into the canyon's water. After the jumps, the racers will cross the finish line. There are also vultures that stand on dead trees but they don't do anything and are just for scenery.
Shortcut[]
Alternately, once the Grapes have been activated, racers can grab some grapes and take the underwater tunnel shortcut, where they can skip the longer and more dangerous path and see underwater life such as a clam with a Pellet in it, some seaweed, a Pac-Shark chasing a seahorse and an anglerfish trying to eat it's own lure while banging on the glass making it shake.
Battle Arena[]
Canyon Crusade Battle Arena
In Battle mode, Canyon Crusade appears as an arena, where the layout is different. One side has a edge that leads into water while the other has a path that leads behind the waterfall while the middle has a stream of water leading into the ocean.
Trivia[]
- The course's music is an arrangement of the Block Town theme from Pac-Mania.
- Artwork of an early version of Canyon Crusade battle arena can be found in a PS2 demo disc with an early version of the game.
