Various trains, including Shinkansen and local trains, run through diverse landscapes such as railroad crossings, tunnels, bridges, depots, stations, elevated tracks, snowy mountains, autumn foliage, and cherry blossom-lined roads, all in a cute, slightly deformed style. Collect coins to get new train cars and create your own favorite train You can freely combine and link Shinkansen and regular trains to run your custom train. Enjoy two modes: the Mascon mode, where you manually control the speed using the master controller, and the Auto mode, where trains run automatically. As the train departs from the station, it passes through crossings, bridges, tunnels, depots, and more. Trains run through a variety of beautiful sceneries. Use Joy-Con and zoom buttons to enjoy different camera angles. You can also switch between three camera views: driver’s seat, window view, and rear-view camera. Use coins and hearts collected during the run to open Train Boxes and collect new train cars. Freely link the cars you’ve collected and run them. The "Random Change Button" allows your train to temporarily transform into a formation including cars you don’t yet own. This is a train game where you can freely connect trains like Shinkansen and local trains. The 3rd and 4th cars can be connected face-to-face by linking a front car and a rear car. There are various scenes including crossings, tunnels, bridges, depots, track junctions, stations, and elevated rails. Trains travel through various sceneries including cities, countryside, snowy mountains with falling snow, autumn mountains with falling leaves, cherry blossom roads with petals floating in the air, mountains, seaside, and riverside landscapes. Tap giant landmarks such as towers and Buddha statues in town to get coins. Not only trains, but roads are also filled with various vehicles such as sedans, sports cars, mini cars, trucks, dump trucks, and heavy machinery. Tap them to get coins. In the sea, there are boats, whales, sharks, dolphins, and even monsters. Tap them to collect coins. People and animals appear along the station and roads—tap them too for coins. Try tapping various objects Complete a loop from the starting station to earn hearts, especially by stopping at many stations. At junctions, you can freely switch tracks. There are 10 stations, and depending on your path, you can stop at up to 8. Get a special bonus based on how many stations you stop at in a full loop. Enjoy exploring many different courses During the train’s journey, the “Random Change Button” will appear. Tap it to randomly change your train’s formation temporarily. There are three types: “Complete Shinkansen,” “Complete Local Train,” and “Mixed.” You can view trains that include cars not in your collection. Sometimes tapping the button will also earn you coins. Coins and hearts will pop out of the train—make sure to grab them We also plan to add cargo trains, steam locomotives, and maglev trains in the future. All types of train cars in the Train Box—whether front, middle, or rear—are randomly selected with equal probability. We will continue adding new cars, so please look forward to future updates You can earn coins to open Train Boxes via login bonuses, arriving at stations, or watching ad videos. Complete a loop around the course to earn hearts based on the number of stations stopped at. Hearts can be exchanged for coins. Hearts and coins pop out from trains and float around the tracks, so don’t miss them. There are still many ideas we plan to implement—please look forward to more updates
