ATV Speed
When driving the ATV on courses with gravel or dirt on the side of the road, you can achieve 5 to
10 mph higher top speed. In order to do this you must have part of the ATV riding on the stuff on
the side of the road and part of your car on or very close to the road. If done correctly see your
speed jump up and pass all those cars that were going as slow as you were before
Faster Cars
Usually when you start a 2-player race across the US only 1 person gets the upgrade. BUT, when 1
person selects 1 save file and the 2nd person picks another, you can stop that! First pick different
save files. Pick different cars next. Finally,race up to Washington DC. Pause and Quit the race then
RESET the machine. Re-enter the game using the files used in the the
2-player game Finish the race with both cars and you will have 2 upgrades!
First Place jump:
As you begin the race at Chicago, you will be on the freeway. After the first two turns, there should
be a broken down car. If you hit the car (causing it to FLY through the air) it will land in front of the
first place person. It takes practice to hit the car, but once you get it, it will be a BIG help for the
tunnel.
Freefall:
You will be able to get ouside of the fist bridge. If you make the turn at the right
time, you will fall over the bridge, and land up in a higher position. This one is VERY hard to get the
timing right, but it works!!! Its more of a warp that just falling off of the bridge.
Shortcut
In the Grand Canyon after the first check point stay along the right hand side untill you see a dirt
ramp that goes up.When you come up the ramp you will see a land bridge, go across it.{if you go to
slow you will fall off}This will somtimes give you a big lead over the other cars. There is another
shortcut like this to the right in the beginning of this stage.
Bugs and other stuff
When racing Iowa or Indiana, if you zoom all the way in (so you are looking out the windshield)
bugs will occasionally splatter on tour windshield and when birds fly overhead bird poop will splatter
on the windshield.
Falling coconuts
In Beverly Hills, run into any tree on the side of the road and coconuts will fall out of the tree.
Lost Wheels
After a two player challenge game, the losing player's Right front wheel will fall off if you
continuously rotate the analog joystick clockwise. This should happen after the car rotates 3-4 times.

Nitrous Boost
This code is activated the same way as the "Flashing Lights Trick" code (see below). Get your name
on the "Hot Lists", scroll to the bottom of the list, and hold left for about 35 seconds until the head
comes rolling across the screen. Using any car in any race, you can now get a Nitrous Boost by

Flashing Lights
After you put your initials in on the "Hot Times" screen, you can press either up or
down to scroll through the Hot Times. If you go all the way to the bottom to where the metal rollers
are and hold the Left direction for about 35 seconds, a face of one of the designers will make an
appearance and say "I love this job". After he says this, when you are racing any course with either
the Police Car or the School Bus, if you press the Brake twice, then the Gas once, the lights will
flash for as long as you hold the Gas. As soon as you let go, the lights go off. Do this as many times
as you wish. Note: This code will only work if you are using the Police Car or the School Bus. It will
not work with any other car.
