Ms. Bell's Rally-X MD

Overview

This is the eighth game in the “Or Maybe This Is the Perfect Life” series.

This time, the game is inspired by Namco's classic arcade game Rally-X, with the goal of naturally incorporating its gameplay into the story of the series.

Along with the usual chaotic adventures of the familiar cast, the game features Rally-X-style gameplay where you dodge pursuing cars and rocks while collecting flags scattered around the course.

Story

As usual, the members of the club are called together by Ms. Bell.

This time, she invites them to visit a brand-new go-kart track being opened on Sunday by an old friend of hers.

It should have been a fun and relaxing day off...

But then Ms. Bell discovers that the track is holding a go-kart tournament with a 1,000,000-yen grand prize.

There's no way she's going to ignore that!

And somehow, Rakko ends up entering the tournament!

Face one eccentric opponent after another, dodge pursuing cars and rocks, and collect all the flags scattered around the course!

With Ms. Bell's million-yen ambitions riding on his shoulders, Rakko's long and grueling battle begins!

Characters

Bell

The homeroom teacher of Rakko and his friends, as well as the advisor of the club founded by Haruna.

She's eternally 20, single, and loves money. She's certainly attractive, but her personality can be more than a little troublesome.

As Akira puts it, she's “a beautiful woman who's a bit of a disaster.”

Rakko

The protagonist of the “Or Maybe This Is the Perfect Life” series.

He's an ordinary boy and one of the few relatively sensible members of the group.

Unfortunately for him, his childhood friend Haruna is always coming up with new ideas—and somehow Rakko always gets dragged into them.

Haruna

The heroine of the series.

Beautiful, brilliant, and athletic, she seems perfect at first glance. The problem is that her ideas tend to come completely out of left field.

With her endless ideas and unstoppable enthusiasm, she constantly drags her childhood friend Rakko into one crazy situation after another.

Akira

A friend of Rakko and Haruna since middle school.

Quick-witted and extremely good at staying out of trouble, he somehow manages to avoid getting caught up in most of Haruna's reckless ideas.

He describes himself as both a “sage” and a “strategist.”

Nanako

She became classmates with Rakko and the others in high school and, after various circumstances, joined the club founded by Haruna.

She's generally one of the sensible members of the group, although she occasionally has a brutally sharp tongue.

Apparently, she also has a rather unusual older brother...

Danpei

An old college friend of Bell.

He finally fulfills his longtime dream of opening his own go-kart track—and, for some reason, decides to hold a go-kart tournament on its very first day.
