Alcatraz -- Track 7
Follow these simple (well...sort of) instructions and you'll be
soaring over the prison cells of Alcatraz in no time.
Note: If you've already completed a circuit and have it saved to
memory pak, you can bypass the codes below and skip straight to
the four steps to obtain the track.
First of all, you'll need to finish a circuit. To save you the
time of doing that, Atari has included the circuit winning code
as follows:
8DP5KG5L4G59P
G92WVCQY0DRDQ
Note: Japanese (in addition to a rare few US and European) carts
may require this alternative code to work:
9DQ6LH6M5H6$Q
H$3XWCR01DTDR
Once you've done that, choose the option to continue circuit and
then let the time run out while racing. After a quick
congratulations screen (and the reward code for the Formula 1
car) you can get started.
Alcatraz -- Track 7 (only allowed if you've finished a circuit,
mind you)
Note: To move between the car select screen, the track screen and
the setup screen, use the A and B buttons.
1. On car select screen: Hold C-Left, press Z, release both,
press left
2. On setup screen: Hold C-Up, press Z, release both, press up
3. On track select screen: Hold C-Right, press Z, release both,
press right
4. On car select screen: Hold C-Down, press Z, release both,
press down, L, R
And voila -- you're Alcatraz bound.
We've tried this code 50 million times based on these
instructions and it works. Alcatraz will appear as Track 7 on the
Track Select screen.
Finally, a time-saver hint from Atari Games...
If you have a memory pak you can cheat the system and save
Alcatraz (track 7) as follows:
1. Enter circuit code (above) to continue a circuit.
2. Finish race/die/let time run out.
3. Start a new game (without using a player -- to tell system
you've completed a circuit).
4. Go to the car select screen and enter first part of code.
5. Back up to the setup screen and enter second part of code.
6. Start a new game, this time selecting a Pak player.
7. Go to car select screen and enter final part of code.
8. Start game and track 7 is saved/enabled under current player.
Note: there is no way to get the Formula 1 car saved on your pak
without actually winning a circuit on that player.
The anticipated hidden track is finally here and you won't need a
Gameshark to access it.
Complete circuit code
Simply enter the code below for a completed circuit (must have to
access F1 Car).
8DP5KG5L4G59P
G92WVCQY0DRDQ
Note: Japanese (in addition to a rare few US and European) carts
may require this alternative code to work:
9DQ6LH6M5H6$Q
H$3XWCR01DTDR
Race tracks with special cars trick (w/o getting every key)
If you have obtained the special cars on a particular track, you
can trick the game into letting you use them on every track in
the game.
Go to circuit and make sure you start on the track that you
gained the cars on. Press A to select a new circut -- if the
track you see is not the track that you have earned the cars on,
then press B. Repeat this process until the track comes up that
you have. Select the special car of choice and you can race all
the tracks with the special car.
Turn Off Track Textures
From Setup Screen: Hold C-Right) and press L button. Release both
and then press the Z trigger. Keep repeating the process for
multiple different texture schemes, including a psychedelic mode.
Hey, is this the Atari Jaguar version?
Attempt to Resurrect in Place
Setup screen: While holding Z press and hold C-Left then press
C-Right. Keep holding Z and now press and hold C-Right, then
C-Left
Now when players crash they will be resurrected in place and not
miles away.
A great code for those situations that require multiple attempts
No Game Timer
This turns off the game timer in Rush, leaving the courses
completely free to explore.
Setup screen: While holding Z: Press and hold C-Down, then C-Up.
Keep holding Z and press and hold C-Up, then C-Down
Say goodbye to the timer with this code
Drive the burning wreck
At the car selection screen, hold C-up and press Z four times.
Fly up
Turn on "attempt to resurrect in place" (hold Z,
C-left, C-right, C-right, C-left) and the Auto-Abort Disable
(C-up C-up C-up C-up). It is now possible to get very high into
the air of tracks by hitting the resurrect key, then immediately
holding brake. Repeat when your car stops blinking. This is very
useful in acquiring certain keys.
Play tag
For all you renters out there, here's a cool trick from the
manual: Start a two-player practice game and hit the abort-button
(C-Up) during the countdown. The second player will now b
"it." Hit the other driver and he will be
"it." Whoever is "it" when the time runs out
loses.
Drive the Formula 1 Car
You have to beat all 24 races in the Circuit mode first with a
ranking of second place or better. Now go to the track select
screen and press the Z-Button four times (Z, Z, Z, Z). You should
hear a horn. You can now choose the car at the car selection
screen.
Note: You can't have all three extra cars at once. You can only
choose the Formula 1 racer or the Hotrod at once unless you turn
off the code by entering it again.
Secret Tunnel
Level 2: Drive through the course as usual until you come to the
free-way overpass that can be jumped. Now, instead of jumping
down to the road beneath angle the car so that it is going from
right to left. If you go off the free-way just right you'll fly
across the gap to the other side of the freeway where a secret
loop and two keys await.
Once you've made it you'll be treated to a red loop of endless
possibilities
Papy Land
Papy Land (named after the track's creator, Midway's Todd Papy),
a secret stunt course hidden in track 6, is located at the bottom
of one of the many mountains in the level. To find it, follow the
pathway which passes a white citadel (at top of mountain) and
then leads into the dirt path which, if taken wrong, can send
cars barreling over the edge of the cliff. Papy Land is located
directly over the mountain's cliff facing away from the citadel.
It's at the bottom of the mountain right next to the ocean, so be
careful making the trip down.
Inside the secret cave is Papy Land, an immense setup of jumps,
loops and walls
Auto-abort Disable
At the Setup screen: C-Up, C-Up, C-Up, C-Up (quickly)
No more annoying pick-me-ups where they aren't welcomed
Change Back Tire Size
From car select screen: Press and hold C-Right, then C-Left. Now
press and hold C-Left, then C-Right. Repeat the code to select
the size you want.
The back tires can change in size, ranging from tiny to gigantic
Change Front Tire Size
From car select screen: Press and hold C-Left, then C-Right, Now
press and hold C-Right, then C-Left
Look at the size of those!
Change Gravity
From Setup screen: Holding Z, press UP, Down. Then let go of Z
and press UP, DOWN, UP DOWN
Gravity can be changed again and again by repeating the process.
Who says you need a cape to fly?
Change Viewing Distance
Hold L and press up or down on the control pad.
You can zoom so far out that your car turns micro.
Cycle Random High Score Names
At the Fast Times or Best Laps records screens, hit: L, R, L, R,
L, R, L, R.
Now the computer generated names will be cycled around.
OK, so this one probably isn't going to impress your friends, but
hey, you take the boring with the exciting
Disable Car Collisions
From Setup screen: LEFT, RIGHT-(C-Right), C-Up, C-Left, C-Down, Z
Now you can drive right through an opponent.
Right through the bus

all four C buttons held down. This will give gamers the
impression of playing through races at night.
Try playing through the courses at night for more challenge
Fog Color
At the car select screen hold Z and press C-Down, C-Down, C-Down.
This code changes the color of the fog in the game.
This looks more like LA Rush

If car is a mine and runs into another vehicle it will blow up.
From car select screen: C-Right, C-Right, Z, C-Down, C-Up, Z,

machine

Turn Cones into Mines
From Setup screen: L, R, L, R, L, R (quickly).
This code turns all the cones in San Francisco Rush into huge
mines that blow up anything that touches them.
Better watch out for those mines. Unless, of course, you don't
mind exploding in a fiery death
Turn Tracks Upside-down
From Setup screen: Up, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left.
This code enables players to race the game upside down.
Players will no longer have to stand on their heads to play Rush
upside-down
