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.
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.
Fly higher
Get the hover upgrade, then hold "Gas" and repeatedly
press [Up].
Triple salvage points
Destroy your opponents with a special weapon to get
triple salvage points.
Easy chassis
Go to the options and turn the damage on high and the
difficulty on low. Each icon will now be worth 7.
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.
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.
Arizona: Airborne in crater
Enable the "Faster cars" code. Start in the
middle of the crater and circle around until you get enough speed.
Speed out of one of the sides and you will become airborne. When
you reach the boundary of the level, you will be launched back
and land back in the crater. You can continue the trick until
you wreck.
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.
Choose Convoy and make sure your trailer does not explode. Destroy
the Observatory and wait for the meteor. When the ant emerges,
get blown in the air above the ant. The trailer should come off,
possibly destroying it.
Release the big ant in Arizona, but do not go in the crater. The
big ant will not try to kill you, even if you attack it.
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.
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.
Arizona: Attacking police
If you shoot the cop in the Arizona level he will attack
you by ramming your vehicle.
Arizona: Helping the cop
Either Choose a Heavyweight (Convoy, Garbage Man, etc.)
or use the Magnetic Mine. This should hold the car the cop is
after. Enable the "Invincibility" code, then use John
Torque and stay inside the cop. When an enemy appears, make sure
he has fire (Mortar Cannon, Bullseye Rockets, etc.). When he shoots
you with it, the cop will go after the enemy, making the level
easier to complete. Note: When the cop chases the enemies, about
the third or fourth time he will park on a cliff or get stuck
in the air.
Arizona: Get away from cop
Choose Padre Destino, then attack the police. Aim at
the enemy and use the special move. Make sure he is far away or
the cop will come after you, then he will go away.
Arizona: Cop has upgrades
Enable the "Big wheels" or "High suspension"
codes and attack the police. He should have the same upgrades
as you do.
Arizona Gas station armor
Go to one of the two gas stations. Stop in-between
the pumps and snack shop. You will hear a sound as if your car
was in the repair shop. In about five seconds, the sound will
stop and you will have more armor than before. You may do this
as many times as needed unless the gas stations are destroyed.
Note: It will take some time before you can do it again.
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.
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.
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.
Louisiana: Hidden bonuses
Get Gator trapped in the charges in the water section.
Specials and wrenches will fly out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Unlock the Samson Tow Truck and enable the "Same cars in
multi-players" code. Have both players one and two be the
Samson Tow Truck. Go to any level with at least one enemy. Get
the special for both vehicles, and get near the enemy car. Both
players should grab the same car with the special move at approximately
the same time, then pull away from the other player. You can get
over 200 Whammy be doing this. This does not always "TOTAL!"
the car.
Whammies multiplied
Play as Bob O and use your special. While they are
attached, you can use the Cow Puncher Special to do a Whammie
X4.
This trick requires the Samson Tow Truck and the Moontrekker,
along with both of their specials. This will work best if you
use it on a heavy vehicle such as the garbage truck, bus, etc.
Start a two player or multi-player game. Both players should target
the same heavy vehicle, then whoever is playing as the Tow Truck
should use their special to grab onto the enemy. While they are
still holding the enemy, the player with the Moontrekker should
use their special -- do not wait too long. This will probably
work better if the player with the Tow Truck does not drive around
with the enemy in tow. This could lead up to a possible 200x Whammie.
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.
Convoy's truck
Convoys regular truck is a 1950's Autocar Diesel. His
upgraded truck is a 1977 Kenworth W900.
Convoy's truck to Lizard Tail's Truck
Press [C-Down] at the single player screen to
display the color change menu. Set the brightness to two percent
(the white one) and change the color to purple. Convoy's Truck
will now resemble Lizard Tail's truck from 18 Wheeler American
Pro Trucker.
Torque's car
Get Torque's car upgraded to where all stats are at
maximum. Then, enable the "Invincibility" code and choose
his car. Get the cop to chase you and it will resemble the movie
Smokey and the Bandit.
