Street Challenges

Street Challenges are tasks that players are required to complete in Jet Set Radio Future to unlock more Graffiti Souls. Street Challenges only become available after the Mystery Tape in the area has been obtained. Completing all of the Street Challenges unlocks the Test Runs for the location.

Challenge breakdowns[]

Shibuya Street Challenges[]

Dogenzaka Hill[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 3
20 Tricks
50,000 points
Avenue, Long Grind
- For the 5th Challenge, 'Avenue, Long Grind', the player must grind the rail on the left side of the road at the start of the level. The player has to grind that rail, and jump to the two smaller rails and grind those as well. Fall off the last rail and the Graffiti Soul will appear.

Shibuya Terminal[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 3
25 Tricks
100,000 points
Platform of '乗' x 13, not to fall down
- The last Challenge's description is somewhat vague. What they are asking for the player to do is to land on all 13 of the bus shelters without touching the ground. The player can use rails, wallrides, Boost Dashes, and rooftops to reach the platforms. This Street Challenge can be somewhat buggy and might not unlock when it should. If it does not, keep jumping between other platforms or start over. This video gives a good example of what can go wrong and how to remedy the situation. Doing extra hops on the platforms can help register as landing on one.

Chuo Street[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 4
30 Tricks
60,000 points
G->W->G->W->... reach for the sewer
- The final challenge is asking to grind then wallride from the end of the mall the player runs through all the way to the halfpipe. From the exit of the mall, jump on the first rail, jump to the billboard to wallride, then fall on to the next rail. Jumping to the next rail won't count. When approaching to the end, do not actually go into the halfpipe. On the last rail, slow down enough to land between the end of the last rail and the start of the halfpipe. The Graffiti Soul should unlock after landing.

Hikage Street[]

Grind Combo x 20
Air Combo x 4
55 Tricks
300,000 points
- In order to complete the points challenge in this level, the player will need to grind the 500 point rails in the Eastern Overpass. Make sure to use the Y button in order to get the 16x multiplier, as this points challenge is impossible to achieve using only the X button for grind combos.
Overpass w/ a crane, G, Ground, Top, Ground
- This Challenge is done in the eastern stair section, which also has the 500-point rail for the 300,000 points Street Challenge. The easiest method to this challenge is grinding up the structure normally, however, when reaching the top, get off the rail and jump to the crane leaning against the stair structure and grind down that. The Graffiti Soul unlocks when the player touches the ground. The opposite method also works, going up the crane and grinding down the structure, however the player will have to land on the rail going in the right direction or it will not work. The player should not perform any grind tricks in order to complete this challenge.

Kogane Street Challenges[]

Rokkaku-dai Heights[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 4
35 Tricks
40,000 points
Chimney #1, Grind
- Chimney #1 is in the immediate area as soon as you enter the level but takes a bit of work to get up to. To the left of the building where the Mystery Tape was located, behind some buildings, there is a spiral staircase. Grind up the right side and it will transfer the player to a power line, which will allow them to follow right up the chimney. The Graffiti Soul appears as soon as the player auto jumps off the top of the chimney and land on the power line they arrived on.

Tokyo Underground Sewage Facility[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 4
45 Tricks
100,000 points
150,000 points
- Both here and the Bottom Point of the Sewage Facility do not have 'unique' Challenges, rather another points goal. The 500-point rail at the top of the level is more than long enough to earn over 150,000 points.

The Bottom Point of the Sewage Facility[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 4
50 Tricks
50,000 points
70,000 points
- This area and the Tokyo Underground Sewage Facility just have increased point goals instead of a 'unique' goal. There are many 500-point rails in the large, open rooms in this level. Pick one rail to earn well over 70,000 points.

Kibogaoka Hill[]

Grind Combo x 20
Air Combo x 4
50 Tricks
250,000 points
Gate of (a group of kanji)
- By far this is the easiest of the Street Challenges. All that is required is you reach the part of the level where Boogie spawns, go up to the top and ramp to the inner-left power line. Follow it all the way to the end and the line should drop the player off right in front of the gate. Simply skate through the gate and the Graffiti Soul will unlock.

The Fortified Residential Zone[]

Grind Combo x 10
Air Combo x 8
100 Tricks
- The 100 tricks can easily be achieved in the beginning area. As the player enters the level, they should grind up the stairs located on the right side. It will lead them to a red rail that loops into a ladder on each side of the rail. They should continue doing grind combos on the red rail and jump onto the ladder when you are close to the end of the rail, and then immediately jump again to land back on the red rail to trick some more. Keep doing this until 100 tricks are registered.
50,000 points
Giant of Metal, grind up
- The second easiest unique challenge in the game, next to Kibogaoka Hill. Simply grind up the large metal beam that connects the second level to the top where Yoyo was being held.
  - Note: The 'Giant of Metal' is not long enough to get all 100 tricks for the trick challenge, even if the player keeps their speed to the minimum.

Benten Street Challenges[]

99th Street[]

Grind Combo x 15
Air Combo x 4
40 Tricks
60,000 points
East, South, West, North, East gates, grind
- The gates are referring to the rails around the walkway surrounding the Dragon Tower. To avoid doing unnecessary laps, from the base of the tower, head to the west area of the map. The gate will have the kanji for 'East' on it. Grind the rail on the right all the way around, adjusting your speed as necessary. Do not turn in midair to make the next rail. When completing a full loop, fall off the rail, putting you on the ground at the 'East' gate from the start. The game is very buggy in giving the Graffiti Soul here, so if it does not unlock, run the route again.

The Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park[]

Grind Combo x 20
Air Combo x 4
55 Tricks
70,000 points
Go circle around pharaoh
- The 'pharaoh' the challenge refers to is the tower with the pharaoh's head on it. The player can start wherever they like, and simply grind the rails in a full unbroken loop in either direction. After grinding around the Pharaoh after a certain amount of time, the Graffiti Soul will spawn.
  - Note: On this level and Sky Dinosaurian Square, the player must be successful in landing after completing the air combo for the game to considered the challenge as completed.

Highway Zero[]

Grind Combo x 15
Air Combo x 5
70 Tricks
- The tricks challenge can be hard here. Start in the area where the Staff Officer Fire would spawn and head down to the farthest rail away from the billboards. Grind on the rail and hold down on the thumbstick to slow down, and while slowing down, perform grind combos. Make sure to speed up when big jumps are needed to jump from rail to rail. When arriving at the billboards and after wall riding the last billboard, be sure to land on the rail that connects to the phone poles. Slow down and do grind combos again, and the Graffiti Soul should spawn if done correctly.
90,000 points
W->W->W->W->W->W
- Similar to the unique Street Challenge from Chuo Street, the player must make 6 consecutive wallrides. After the area with all of the power lines and stalls, there is a rooftop section with pipes the player can grind on. Right after this section is the 6 billboards. Wallride then jump to all 6 and the Graffiti Soul will appear after landing.

Sky Dinosaurian Square[]

Grind Combo x 50
Air Combo x 6
100 Tricks
10,000 points
Rail -> Swinging Ride -> Rail
- The Swinging Ride is about halfway through the level. An easy way to tackle this challenge is to jump left from the yellow rail onto the Swinging Ride, jump to the other swinging ride car, then jump/boost dash and jump to the green rail which will not be far away. If done right, the Soul will appear after landing on the green rail. This challenge is also quite picky and may take multiple attempts. If the method outlined above does not work, try starting from the green rail, ending on the main yellow rail.
