▼ One Recommended Setup [spoilers]

General

Mach Eleven with all stats trained to 11.
Passenger: The White Witch (not included in Totals)
Requires the Village Upgrade Police Lights (+1 Pizza Witch Max Speed) from the Majorkai Sexy Lady Cops
Note that an upgraded Jacket (+Drivetrain) will be crucial in this ride. It is recommended to have at least +200.
If you have Fierce as the Flame (max Gloves) they will give you +5 Drift!
I you are attempting this as RedEye, See The Line will give you (+2) instead, including D-Speed.
The current setup should leave you with a healthy amount of Drivetrain/Durability!
Hopefully the 'Totals' tabs will help you if you wish to customise in your setup (quite likely).

Start

The Spire disappears into the clouds - but you are going to see what is up there! Cici connects a one-time, specially-made OverThruster1 to your Ride. "You'll need this at the end, it'll let you enter OverDrift, if only for a few seconds." Off you go!

Reward

You rip off your helmet to get a better look at the other Ride, as they rocket ahead of you into the sky. They turn, face still shielded, and look back, just as their OverDrifter kicks in, and in a flash they disappear, flying upward, through the Barrier, into the unknown. And then you begin to fall. Turning in the silence, you face the world. From this high up, you can see it - a giant square, slightly curved, like a swatch cut out of a huge ball. From one end, a river arcs away, unsupported by land beneath. Circling behind the main landmass, around a pulsing, dark crimson core, it connects on the other side - as if the land itself was the setting of a ring of water. A sun and a moon rotate independently around it, as the land lights up with explosions, Villages, and the tiny flash of Jutsu. As the light reflected from the moon passes over it, you see the terrain itself change, as the parallel world of the Dark Hour reveals itself. On one side, land begins to grow out, as a new Realm takes shape - the home of a new Kaiju, born from the flames of a dying Village. Boy, compared to down there, it sure is quiet up here. The silence fades, as you hear a quiet Theme, from somewhere new - from the world itself, shining. You got the Overworld Theme Hikari! That changes, as you plummet, and your Ride starts to fall apart during re-entry. The roar of the flames fills your ears, as your headset crackles to life, Cici screaming in your ear. A frantic "-U'RE BREAKING UP! YOU'RE BREAKING UP! YOU HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THERE! I CAN'T REBUILD YOU FROM HERE! YOU WON'T SURVI-" cuts off abruptly as your headset and Ride burn away, leaving you vulnerable to the deadly speed.. But a white door opens beneath you. Loop to complete this Delivery.
