Two contestants are suited up in armor and fight on mechs. They can be simulated through the users' actions. In order to win, one of the players have to win 2 out of 3 rounds. The player may get to keep their armor, though according to Francis, only Juni Cortez is known to have been allowed this.
Mega-Race[]

Characters[]
The Guy[]
The Guy appeared on the front of the game cover with only his silouette showing. He is supposed to be the one who'll lead the players and help them win the game. Juni was thought to be the Guy as his power armor from the Robo-Arena looked exactly like the Guy seen on the poster. The real guy appeared at the entrance of Level 5. He helped Carmen, Juni, and their friends enter to Level 5 by breaking the gate down and entering it. However, the Guy's life was shortlived as he got electrified greatly. All of his 99 lives rapidly went down and disappeared from the game. Afterwards, Rez declared Juni to be the Guy again and ordered him to get them out of the game.
Demetra[]
While she looks like another player, Demetra is actually "the Deceiver", who was created to lead other players astray. However, she has her own emotions and aids Juni and his friends in escaping as she cares about him.
Powerups and NPCs[]
Life Pack[]
The life pack is rare in the game. When a player crushes it in his hand, his life counter will be restored all the way to 9. It was a pink square bound by wire and with a red cross on it.
