Two tricks....
Chicago-- As you begin the race, 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.
Golden Gate Park-- 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 shit
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. Have Fun!
Falling coconuts
In Beverly Hills, run into any tree on the side of the road and coconuts
will fall out of the tree. Not
much of a trick, but still pretty cool.
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. Talk about driving till the wheels fall off!
See the Disembodied Head
After entering your initials on the high score screen, push down and
scroll to the bottom where
the conveyor belt is. Hold left on the D-pad, and after 30-45 seconds
a head will roll down the
belt.
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 press Brake, Brake, Brake, Gas, Brake, Gas. You can only use
this once for every
checkpoint passed.

C-Down, and C-Up buttons,

Flashing Lights Trick
Instructions: 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.
