Here's my attempt at everything. It could possibly still use some work at places. If at places it looks odd or out of place, it may well be just me trying to keep it true to the original. Ask if you feel its too odd. Translated in order of appearance.
SITIMUS
An angular city level, specialties repair-, refuel- and ammo spots that have been marked with appropriate signs.
The speedrace track is marked on the track with gray arrows.
Difficulty of the speedrace: 7
TROPULUS
A small round easy level, where racing occurs clockwise around the center.
Difficulty of the speedrace: 4
["small round" is probably a cultural reference to a catchphrase of an old bread commercial, but that kind of meaning is hard to carry across so perhaps its looking weird for no reason]
EKOLOS
A comfortable nature-themed cave level, where you defeat your adversary really easily.
No speedrace.
METAROLA
A level for really skilled pilots only, as the difficulty of the speedrace is a frightening full 10.
The speedrace track is marked with signs
LIKVIDIUS
A sweet level, but beware of in the sauce getting stuck!!!
No speedrace.
[This is impossible. The adjective is not exactly 'sweet' but an uncommon variant with some additional meanings that I struggle to understand myself. If you can think of an uncommon English synonym for sweet, perhaps use it instead. The rest is saying beware of getting stuck in the broth/gravy/sauce. But to be 'in' the gravy is also a figure of speech for being in trouble. I'm not sure if that is intended or if the author just wanted to be funny here. The word order is also unlikely and I've preserved it here, but Finnish is much more flexible about word order than English so it may be a bit too much. I used 'sauce' for no good reason. Maybe broth would be better. It's liquidy, right? Obviously it's just referring to the pool of liquid in the level.]

choose your name from the list
if it is not yet there then write it by choosing New Name from the end of the list
editing/removing a name happens by turning the joystick right for about 5 seconds on the name in question
If you don't wish to play a TURBORANKING game then choose Nobody from the beginning of the list or switch the function off on the main screen
NB: both players must choose either a name or Nobody Otherwise shall the game not start.
write your name IN THE MIDDLE of the box because elsewhere it will not work as the program continously centers your text. The finished text you sign for with the button and confirm it from the menu that the button press will make appear into your line of vision. [seriously.]
you are now about to remove/edit a name already on the list. editing happens normally - that is .. (and then the same as above).
