1 - After the first bridge, there is a little path between two trees that leads you through the mountain. The path is swamp, though, and makes the vehicle go slower, but it is still faster than going around.

2 - Right after the second bridge, there is a group of buildings to your right. If you run these over, then you skip the whole second half of the race. This is best done with the Ramdozer due to the fact that it will go through the buildings faster than any other vehicle.

Cooter Creek

1 - At the very beginning, there is a small group of dirt piles to the right. If you cut across them instead of following the track, you can cut off about a second per lap. These dirt piles will make the vehicle seem to go slower, but it is faster to cut across. Your vehicle should end up right before the river.

2 - This is just like the first one. Right after the river, turn to your right and run over some dirt piles. When you get on track again, you should end up just before the end.

Corvine Bluff

1 - At the end of each lap, instead of going across the river and crossing the finish line, stay on the other side and drive by it. This is the only course where you don't have to drive thorugh the finish line to finish, you only have to drive by it.

Bison Ridge

1 - This short cut is just like the ones for Cooter Creek. After you get completely down the first mountain, turn to the right and drive through some dirt piles. This will cut off about 3 seconds per lap.

Moraine Chase

1 - This is about the biggest shortcut in the game. After the third wall, turn to you right and go down the little hill. The next hill you come to should have a little sand platform just before it. If you go up this hill, you cut off about 3 seconds per lap, but if you don't go up this wall and turn to the right just after the little sand platform, you should come to another hill, which will bring you right to the end of the track.

Glander's Ranch

Select Glander's Ranch. Two thirds of the way through the race, there is an arrow which points both left and straight ahead. If you go left, you will race across a sand path (you won't slow down) that cuts off the next loop in the track.

Skerries Bonus Area

Select Skerries Bonus Area. After you exit the second bridge, turn into the mountain. When you come out the other side, you will be very close to the finish line. You can do this on all 4 laps.

Instant Explosion Cheat

Park your vehicle right next to a building. Try to exit the vehicle by pressing Z. The man should scream, "DOH!" The building should blow up after several times of pressing Z. Not all building can be destroyed this way.

NOTE: This cheat is best performed with the dump truck, or in heavily obstructed areas that make it difficult for the driver to get out of the vehicle.

Turbo Start

On timed events, press the acceleration button on the last "beep." (As the light turns green.)

Ghost Racers

Go to a level which is a race course. After you finish all the laps the game tells you to do, attempt the race again with a different vehicle. When the race starts, you'll be racing your ghost from the previous race (like in Mario Kart 64).
