Al de Baran Turbo Track
The Al de Baran Turbo Track is a Minigame can be accessed from Luina, one map west of Al de Baran (alde_gld 183, 204). There is a Kafra NPC (turbo_room 130, 92) in the lower right area of the Turbo Track. There is also a Turbo Track Merchant (turbo_room 124, 86) who sells items sold by a typical Tool Dealer.
Rules
The purpose of the Al de Baran Turbo Track is to get past the obstacles and to try to get to the finish line as fast as you can. Classes that can mount a Peco Peco (Knight, Crusader, Paladin and Lord Knight) must get off their Peco Peco before entering the Turbo Track Arena. The NPC will ask you to get off your Peco Peco and will give you a ticket so that you can rent a Peco Peco again free of charge.
The winner of the race is the first person who reaches the finish line first. Once someone crosses the finish line, the race ends and everybody participating is automatically transported to the bottom left part of the Waiting Room. The time limit of one race is 15 minutes. If no one finishes within the allotted time, the race will end without a winner.
There are no character class or level requirements to participate in the Turbo Track. However, there is a participation fee of 1,000 zeny.

Game Courses

Part 1: Log Bridge
Players are to go across one of the three bridges. If someone falls, he/she will be transported back to the beginning. Hovering over a cell on the bridges will not show the cell. The middle log bridge is 1 cell narrower than the others, but offers a straighter route to the next course. Although the other log bridges are wider, they have the disadvantage of having twists and turns.
Part 2: Cube Hills
Players are to reach the other side of the hill made of boxes. To oppose the progress of the participants, 5 special Munaks spawn here. Also, there are special "Warp Portals" hidden around the hill, which will a player somewhere else on the hill.
