Initial D Arcade Stage (commonly referred to as IDAS, followed by a version number) is a racing game series developed by Sega, based on the anime and manga Initial D. In the U.S., the games, which keep their version names in later entries, are otherwise known as simply "Initial D" without the "Arcade Stage" subtitle.
Premise
In Initial D Arcade Stage, players race against different opponents in various mountain passes featured in the manga. Using the optional magnetic card system, players can save a customized car and their progress for future sessions; otherwise, game progress is lost. Players can continue progress with their cards on another Initial D cabinet of the same version. However, the card must be renewed every 50 plays.
Note that resuming from another version is subject to following conditions:
- It is not backwards compatible (i.e. a version 2 card cannot be used on version 1 machine).
- Upgrading the card to a more recent machine is permanent.
- When upgrading from one version to another, remaining plays will be carried over and 50 plays will be credited to the card.
There are eleven games in the series so far: eight are for arcades and three for home consoles.

Game modes
- Legend of the streets
- In the main story mode, players race with different opponents from the original manga in the game.
- Time attack
- Players race against time to rank against other players at the current machine or across the internet.
- Bunta Challenge
- First started in Version 2, the player races against Bunta Fujiwara, the legendary street racer. Each time Bunta is defeated, the player will gain a level. Each subsequent level is harder. And when the player is defeated the player loses 1000 points in version 3. Bunta's car differs across levels. Level 1-6: AE86 Trueno, Level 7-11: AE86 Trueno w/TRD 20-Valve 4AGE Racing Engine, Level 12-15: GC8V Subaru Impreza WRX STi Version V. This mode was discontinued and removed in Arcade Stage 4.
- Tag Battle
- Introduced in Version 6 AA. Team up with a friend in the same location. One player drives uphill, the other drives downhill to race with rivals. Matching will be made based on past racing results. It will match with tag team whose driving technique is close to you and your tag partner. When there is a difference in the level with your tag partner, stronger driver will match with strong, and weaker driver with the weak. Get the A(Ace) panel on the course. High score when you get the same color panel at the same section. Team with highest score wins.

Initial D Special Stage
Initial D Special Stage was released on June 26, 2003 for the PlayStation 2 and was re-released on February 26, 2004 under the "PlayStation 2 the Best" label. Initial D Special Stage is based on Initial D Arcade Stage Ver.2 and contains many features exclusive to this game. Initial D Special Stage is also the first home-console Initial D game published by Sega.
Initial D Special Stage contains a story mode that allows the player to reenact racing scenes from the Initial D manga series, as well as several new courses then not seen in the arcade versions of the game. In one of these courses, Shomaru went on to appear in Initial D Arcade Stage Ver.3. Real Myogi was later added back in Arcade Stage 4. Momiji Line would not return until Arcade Stage 8. Bunta's Challenge is noticeably absent in the game. Additional features including replays for saved time-attack records and Iketani's car introduction.
Due to PlayStation 2's hardware limitations, the graphics of the game was downgraded from its arcade counterpart. The game is compatible with Logitech's Driving Force wheel series and other wheel controllers made for PlayStation 2. Sega also balanced all the cars in game due to the overpowering Integra DC2 from Arcade Stage 2.
Legend of the Streets
Identical to the Legend of the Streets mode from Arcade Stage version 2. After beating Project D in Irohazaka, additional courses available only in Special Stage will become available and players can race rivals from story mode in these courses.
Story Mode
Players can experience Initial D manga story through Arcade Stage style racing. After players complete Takumi's story (Akina's 86 arc, up to end of Third Stage), the Takahashi Brothers' story (Akagi RedSuns arc) would be unlocked. Project D's story (up to aftermath of Fourth Stage's Todo-Juku arc) would be unlocked upon the completion of the Takahashi Brothers' story arc. Iketani's car introduction videos, extra BGMs, and the Subaru Impreza WRX Type R STi Version V can be unlocked throughout the story.
Time Attack
In addition to the default courses from Arcade Stage version 2, players are allowed to select tracks exclusive to Special Stage. Players can also load ghost data from their memory cards to race against in Time Attack.
Changes from Arcade Stage version 2
- Addition of Skyline 25GT Turbo
- Addition of Real Myogi, Real Usui, Shomaru, Momiji Line, and Eina.
