Avalanche at the Ski Resort
Shoot down any three trees on one side and an
avalanche will occur. This works well when people
are by the trees.

Bonus Cars and Maps
There are 4 secret cars: The School Bus, The Manta,
The Semi-Truck, and the "UFO" Van.

You will most likely encounter these vehicles while
playing on the maps against the computer, and in
Arcade mode you can pick to play against them. But
being able to use them is a different story.

You must first go to Options and then to Game
Status. If you haven't beat the game with anyone yet,
all the people's faces will be black and white. This is
a Tekken-style "secret". See how there is a sort of
chain with the characters an then empty slots and a
bigger empty slot.

To get that first empty slot, you must beat the game
with the two characters that it is connected to. Once
you get the two secret characters in the top "chain"
and beat it with them, you get the secret map. The
bigger "slot" in the top "chain".

Do the same thing with the bottom "chain" and you
will get the other secret map and the 2 other secret
characters. Something special MAY happen once
you have UNLOCKED everything, but that isn't a
guarantee.

Change the Soundtrack
If you'd like to listen to something different, replace
the Vigilante 8 CD with your favorite music CD after
you've started a level.

Machine Gun Trick
If you have an autofire joystick you can increase the
damage done with the machine gun. Set R2 to
autofire when the button is pressed. This will enable a
steady stream of bullets without overheating the gun.
Your enemies don't have a chance!

Playing Tip
Choose to be the UFO on the secret base level. Go
into the top secret area(the place where all the lasers
shoot you.) Start at one end of the big building and
drive straight through. If you shoot above the missle
launcher a missile comes out and shoots your
targeted opponent. You can do this as many times as
you want at either end.

Roadkill Mines
To activate this attack press Left, Right, Down,
MachineGun. This costs only two mines.

Note: This mine is invisible until you or an opponent
gets close enough. These mines hold you for about
10-15 seconds before detonating. You can get away
only if you are driving at top speed in one of the three
fastest cars.

Secrets
On the ski level go to the bottom of the hill and enter
the lodge doors, your car will get onto the lift and it
will take you to the top of the mountain. This works
the other way as well.

In the Las Vegas level you can find the blimp flying
over, watch where it lands then enter the door that
opens. It will take off and allow you to fly it over the
city, get over a building and wait until it drops you on
the roof.

In the airplane graveyard you can drive your car
between the flight tower and electric polls. The flight
towers are located at each corner of the level, they
are the towers with the flag on the roof. This will
cause the B-52 bombers to come out and bomb
your opponents.

In the farm level you can shoot the valves beside the
water canal, then a huge wave will go through the
canal damaging any car trapped in the canal.

In the secret military level you can shoot the ladders
beside the stealth bombers, then go over to where
the satelitte dishes are located and drive by the red
and green lights to make the bombers hit your
opponet.

On the hover dam level you can hit the switch in front
og the dam by the water to make an electric burst of
energy go through the water zapping your opponent.

In the Canyonland level, get in the middle of the
circle of rocks. A gold beam will come down and
teleport you elsewhere.

On the level Sand Factory at one of the load things
that a truck would pull in to load sand in the back of
it you can shoot at one of the poles with the machine
gun only once. An elevator will lower and you can
get on it. This is an easy way to get on the upper
levels. Search around for the loader!

On the snow resort level shoot 3 large trees to cause
an avalanche! Boulders will start to roll down the
slopes!

Special Attack Tip
Having a problem entering special attacks with the
analog controller? There is an easy way to solve this
problem. Go to options. Go to controller one (or
whichever controller you are using). Set the digital
pad "up" button to "Accelerate" and set the "down"
button to "brake". Now you can steer with the analog
and enter most of the special atacks with the digital
pad!

Special Attacks
Each weapon has two secret moves. The manual tells
you one and these are the other ones.

Interceptor Missiles: Halo Decoy

Up-Up-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2 Missiles

(This will cause any homing missles or special to
follow your missles instead of you. Useful but not
easy to pull off. This is one of the only ways to cause
the Gamma Storm from Beezwax to miss!)

Bull's Eye Rockets: Stampede

Up-Down-Up-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 1-5 Rockets

(This shoots up to 5 of your rockets in quick
succesion. They don't aim automaticly so most will
miss unless your target is stationary: I.E. stalled or in
a Bear Hug Mine.)

Sky Hammer Mortar: Turtle Turnover

Down-Down-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2
Shells

(Against a human opponent this is the bomb
*hehehe* that's funny.. kinda.. Anyway. This will
cause the opponents car to flip over on it's roof. The
computer flips right back up. But some of the bigger
cars take a while so it can be usefull.)

Bruiser Cannon: Cow Puncher

Down-Up-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2 Shells

(Ah yeah. This not only does a lot of damage in one
hit it also throws the opponent for a loop. Well, it just
pushes them back and sometimes will tip them over.
Great fun if your opponent is on the side of a cliff.)

Roadkill Mines: Cactus Patch

Left-Right-Up-Fire Machine Gun Cost 1-6 Mines

(This is the only way to drop mines. The Bear Hug is
great for slowing down someone. But since it does
no damage I use it sparingly. This Will cause you to
drop up to 6 mines in a area behind your car. If
someone is following you they are guaranteed to hit
at least one of them. And the best part is that unlike
Twisted Metal 2, mines stay where you put them. So
be careful. I've blown myself up because I forgot that
I lined a turn with them.)

Also, these special moves work even if the weapon
is not your selected weapon (think 3X wammys.)
I've done it only once and my opponent was toast.

Turbos
To activate this code press up-up-up-machine
gun.Costs one homing missle. When you do this a
homing missile will latch onto the side of your vehicle
and you will travel at the same speed as the missile.

Whirling Blades at Farm
When you go to the farm level, shoot at the big
windmill towers. When they fall, the blades will pop
off and chase the nearest car.
