Crash Course

The Crash Course is a Treatment machine, used only in Danger Zone by a Doctor to cure patients with Stunt Trouble. It is first made available in Plywood Studios, which requires the Culture Shock DLC.

Appearance
The Crash Course takes the form of a stunt jump course, with a red-and-blue motorcycle mounted on a rail running the length of the entire machine. At each end is a grey ramp raised on red metal brackets, and between are three blue rings, surrounded by cardboard 'fire', also on red brackets, two of which have little green shoots sprouting by them.

The Crash Course II adds a battery pack at each end of the rail, consisting of a grey box with a grill on it, and a red box on top, with a grey cap.

The Crash Course III, uniquely, removes the level II upgrades, and replaces them with four lengths of blue and red triangular bunting strung between five white poles along one side of the machine.

Function
The patient will, after a display of confetti, mount the motorcycle at one end of the Crash Course machine, while the doctor mans the Console, and inserts a coin into the slot. Upon pressing the green button and taking the throttle, the motorcycle, mounted on a rail running the length of the machine, will carry the patient forward, over the launch ramp, through the three 'flaming' rings, and 'land' using another ramp. At this point, the motorcycle will turn around and repeat the process in the other direction, with the patient performing a flying stunt. Once back at the start, the doctor will press the red button to end the process, and the patient dismounts, in order to transform back into their normal appearance, their treatment complete.

Maintenance
The Crash Course loses 5-10% of its maintenance gauge with each use. Once the gauge falls below 50%, a Janitor will automatically be called to repair it. A janitor can be summoned manually by the player by pressing the appropriate button.

Should the maintenance gauge fall below 15%, the machine will catch fire. A janitor will need to use an Extinguisher to put this out before the gauge reaches zero; if it is allowed to do so, the machine will explode, leaving wreckage which must be sold and replaced with a new machine before the room can resume functioning.

Upgrades
Upgrades are performed by a Janitor with the Mechanics Qualification. The machine will not be accessible while this work is being done, although it can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress.

The following Staff is required before the Danger Zone, and by extension the Crash Course, will function correctly:
