Overview

The Tokyo Rokkaku Expo Stadium is just outside of 99th Street. The stadium is rather linear in design, almost racetrack like resulting it a loop. The start of the stadium has three lanes the player can take until it eventually becomes a singular pathway with posters the player can wallride on to reach greater heights. It eventually goes back to a three lane path which transitions to a more open area with a small pit section the player can fall into and easily escape from. After the small open area it goes back to another singular pathway which heads back to the start of the area. Throughout the stadium, civilians can be seen cheering from the outside and inside of it. This area can only be accessed through 99th Street.
