the game and copy the file from VMU one to VMU two, three, and/or
four. Start the game and the load file from VMU one and VMU two,
three, and/or four. All characters that have been loaded will
be able to play as the unlocked cars.
Hint: Launch Site weapons:
Go to the tower in the middle of the Launch Site level.
Approach to the tunnel that does not go through and wait until
the lights above are green beforine driving in. You will be taken
up on to the tower and a booster rocket will be placed on back
of your vehicle. Then, you will be shot into the air and dropped.
Collect the weapons, that include specials and radar jammers.
This may be repeated as much as needed, unless the tower is destroyed.
Hint: Quick start:
To rev up your engines for a quick start, press Gas
+ Brake. After revving up, you should do a wheelie. This
is useful for a quick start and for getting up hills.
Hint: Fly higher:
Get the hover upgrade, then hold Gas and repeatedly
press Up.
Hint: Extra salvage points:
Destroy your opponents with a special weapon to get
triple salvage points.
To get 10 salvage points instead of 5, go to options and set the
difficulty to 92 and bullet symbol to high. You will get 10 points
for 1 symbol during game play.
Hint: Easy chassis:
Go to the options and turn the damage on high and the
difficulty on low. Each icon will now be worth 7.
Hint: Alaskan Pipeline: Grind:
When you enter the level, head towards the water and
you will pass between two pipes that go into the ground. Right
after you go between them, turn left and you will see a ramp.
Go up the ramp and turn left, then turn left again on to another
oil silo. You should be looking across to another one. Slowly
drive off it to land on the pipes, going into the ground to grind
across them. You can do a 50-50 a 180 or car (board) slide.
Hint: Area 51: Launch nuclear missile:
Collect the hover upgrade in the second hanger (the
one on the immediate right if you are player one). Then, blast
through the back of the hanger and fly over the hill so the radar
dishes detect you. When you hear the radar dish give off a signal
and move, you have approximately twenty to thirty seconds to set
off the nuclear rocket. Detach the hover upgrade and drive to
the left of the Area 51 administration building. Use your machine
guns to blast through the side doors. Drive through the building
and pick up two special weapons and a wrench. Use your machine
guns again to blast the other side doors. Once through the building,
drive right and around the missile silo. You will see a green
light overhead, indicating the missile launch is ready. Drive
underneath the green light and the nuclear missile will launch.
The missile will seek whomever you are locked on to and cause
a good amount of damage. Note: Repeat the steps to do this as
many times as desired.
Shoot out doors of the building and drive through. Half way through
you will hear a small click. Drive to the lights by the silo your
facing. If one is red and one is green, go under and the missile
will launch. It will fly towards the car that is targeted. If
the lights are both red, drive through again until you hear the
click. There is a long reload time between missiles - one may
not launch if one was very recently fired. The missiles also will
not launch if the building is destroyed. Additionally, at least
one satellite dish must be present to launch.
Hint: Arizona: Motorcycle launch:
Enable the "No gravity" code, destroy the
observatory, then destroy the asteroid in the center. Destroy
the ant. Drive to the center of the crater and wait for the next
meteor to appear. When the meteor hits, you will be launched into
the sky. Sometimes you will even be thrown entirely out of the
level, in which case you will not be able to see yourself for
about ten minutes before the game freezes.
Hint: Arizona: Big ant:
Destroy the observatory in Arizona and wait until the
loud explosion. Examine the big crater in the middle of the level
to find a big asteroid. Destroy the asteroid and a giant ant will
emerge and shoot everyone in the level.
Destroy the ant, and stand in the middle of the crater. When the
big rock appears, it will land on you and you will fly.
Hint: Arizona: Rolling donut:
Destroy the donut shop in the Arizona level without
damaging the "Super Donut" on top. The donut will roll
around the level destroying enemies. This may be done on each
of the two donut shops in the level.
Hint: Arizona: Rocket:
Go to one of the gas stations in the Arizona level
and shoot the rocket located there with your machine gun. It will
launch and hit your enemy.
Hint: Arizona: Attacking police:
If you shoot the cop in the Arizona level he will attack
you by ramming your vehicle.
Hint: Florida: Shark:
You can be attacked by a shark by getting the hydrofloater
power ups and going next to a certain buoy.
Hint: Florida: Extra damage:
When using Bob O's special in the Florida level, a good spot to
release when your special runs out is into the fans or jets. Be
careful not to get yourself pulled into them. This will also buy
you some time to get other weapons. This is also effective to
launch enemies into the fans to complete that objective.
Hint: Louisiana: Ghosts:
Destroy the graves in the cemetery. Ghosts will appear
and begin attacking.
If an enemy is close by when you destroy the tombs, the ghosts
may attack the enemy instead of you.
When you destroy a tomb, drive very fast to the one next to it
and also destroy it. If done correctly, there should be more than
one ghost circling the ruins of a tomb. The ghosts will keep circling
until they attack someone. You can get up to five ghosts this
way, but you need to be very fast to outrun the them.
To escape from the ghosts without being attacked, drive into the
deep water (the water that can you sink in and come out elsewhere).
The ghosts cannot attack you.
Hint: Louisiana: Flood:
Approach the bridge (or dam) and shoot at the nearby
wheel. It will start to spin and the bridge will begin to raise.
Keep shooting until the bridge is completely raised. Repeat this
at the other bridge. In a few seconds, it will start to flood.
Hint: Louisiana: Destroy enemies easier:
Choose someone that has a special that can send the
enemies flying (Garbage Man, Convoy, etc.). Make sure that they
get in the lake on the left. If near the bayou, it is the lake
on the left; on the right if in the grave yard; or get them into
the deep water. This is also useful in two player or quest mode.
Note: You can also do this in the Florida level. Bump them into
the shark, throw them in deep water, or attack them to take their
floaters off.
Hint: Pennsylvania: Molten metal ooze:
Find the red-orange steel that sets you on fire if
you touch it. Shoot it and it will melt, oozes across the river,
and disappear. This is useful when enemies are on the other side.
Hint: Utah Ski Resort: Snow games:
There are three different snow games to play. If you
do them properly, you will get extra power-ups, weapons, etc.
Go to the top of the hill via ski lifts, or by just driving. The
first game is a skiing type slalom (obtain the ski powerup first).
Successfully slalom the blue/red flags. A winner's stand with
power-ups will appear at the bottom, by the resort. The second
is a ski slope/ramp. To get to the ramp, you must first drive
into the tower at the top of the hill. Drive down the ramp as
fast as possible. Once in the air, you can do tricks and get points
for power-ups at the winner's stand. The last ski game is the
luge, all the way on the left. Run the luge (with the ski powerup)
and hit all the check points. Finish at the bottom and pick up
power-ups at the winners stand. All these mini-games can be done
as often as needed, but you must break your previous score in
order to keep getting power-ups.
Hint: Utah Ski Resort: Going back up the
ski jump:
Note: This trick is almost impossible, but can be done.
Enable the "More speed" code. Take a car that has a
medium or slow top speed, but good acceleration and go down the
ramp of the ski jump. Launch off all the way to the opposite side
and you will bounce off the edge in mid-air, just like in the
Arizona level. On the way back, do a 180 and land back on the
ramp. Hit the brakes right when you hit the ramp (if you do not
do this, you will go straight through the jump). If done correctly,
you can slowly accelerate the car up the ramp until you get to
the tower. You will be able to go right down the tower or out
the other side.
Hint: Fire all ammo:
Enable the "Rapid Fire" code, then begin
game play. Get any gun, get close to an opponent, then rapidly
tap Fire. The gun should fire all of its ammunition in
about five seconds.
Hint: Brimstone Burner:
Equip the Brimstone Burner and have at least 16 fire
"units". Find your enemy in the level and drive up to
him until you have made contact with his vehicle. Launch the Brimstone
Burner's Fire Wall (Right, Left, Down, Machine
Gun) onto his vehicle. If done correctly, it will do a large
amount of damage and sometimes instantly destroy the other vehicle.
Hint: Easy Whammies:
An easy way to get Whammies is to use Bob O's Special.
While the enemy is still hooked on, change weapons and fire them
. This works well with the Bruiser Cannon and Bull's Eye Missiles.
Hint: Whammie X4:
Play as Bob O and use your special. While they are
attached, you can use the Cow Puncher Special to do a Whammie
X4.
Hint: Double garbage truck:
If there are three garbage trucks, get one to use the
Compactor on another garbage truck. Then, use your garbage truck
to use the Compactor on the first truck that is already holding
the other truck.
Hint: Soundtrack:
Start the Dreamcast without a disc to access the audio
CD player. Insert the game disc and play tracks two and above
to hear music from the game.
Hint: New car colors in two-player mode:
Start a one player arcade mode game. Choose a location
and a car, but change the color of the car. Select your opponents
and start the match. Win the match, and then quit. Start any type
of two player match. Select the same car used in arcade mode.
Start the match and your car should be the same color previously
used.
