Timmy Vermicellis
In Miami, Nice and Istanbul, there are ten hidden characters called "Timmy Vermicelli". They are equipped with a machine gun and have a striking resemblance to Tommy Vercetti in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City . They have big hands, referencing Rockstar's portrayal of Tanner in The Driver mission in Grand Theft Auto 3. He also has swimming armbands, relating to the fact you cannot swim in Grand Theft Auto.

Just past the second right turn you will see two trees next to a large rock. Go between both trees and over the large rock and you will reach an area with a jump directly in front of you. A Timmy Vermicelli is in the pit below the jump. Alternately, restart the Take A Ride and choose the Villefranche-Sur-Mer area, or the fourth circle. When you begin, turn around and go to the two trees with the large rock. You can also take the second right and go to the traffic light, then turn right. Go to the traffic light again and go right. Follow the bend and there will be a tunnel on your right.
Go to the harbor area where in a mission you put a blue container on the trailer and hooked the semi up to the trailer. The harbor looks like a piece of land that is surrounded by water on the map. Look for a shack in the corner. A Timmy is hiding in a crate in the far corner next to the little shack. If you cannot remember where that area is located, look for the land that sticks out furthest to the sea on your map, or restart a Take A Ride and choose the circle at the furthest right. That is the Villefranche-Sur-Mer area. When you start, turn around and follow that road. Take four left turns, then past three right turns. Look for a fence on the left past the third right turn. The road to the entrance is near the end of that fence. Note: The Timmy is crouching, so you may not see him until you walk up to that corner.
Go to the lighthouse near the area in the mission where you had to drop off the trailer. The lighthouse is near that area. A Timmy Vermicelli will be at the top of the lighthouse. If you cannot remember where that area is located, pause game play and look on the map for a large gray area. It will be between Baies Des Anges and Mont Boron. The lighthouse is near that large gray area on the map.
Start with a boat at the far right point. Make a hard left, (almost a U-turn) and enter the cave. A Timmy Vermicelli is on the left side.
Starting with a boat in the western-most starting point, go straight up the river. Once you get to the large rightward bend in the river, look out for a boulder on your left. A Timmy Vermicelli is behind it.

The Chase mission
In Istanbul's The Chase mission, there is no easy way to describe how to drive after Calita other than saying that there is no reason to run into her when she is in the car, because her mass is much greater. After you chase her to the bridge, the intermission sequence shows her jumping the drawbridge. Go over to the bridge control room on the left. Go up to the yellow box and press L. The bridge will be lowered. Get back in your car and chase her while she is on the run. She will run into a motorcycle place. After the intermission sequence of her hopping on a bike, chase her on the bike. Applying the brake to turn with the bike is needed very rarely. Try releasing the gas rather than braking most of the time. Try to catch up to her, then bump her with your bike to complete the mission.
Dodge Island mission
As soon as the level begins, get in the car and go to the nearest vehicle, or you can simply drive to the edge and slowly drive off it and land in the water. Then, climb up the ladder and follow the edge for a short distance. On your left, you will see several men with machine guns as you proceed forward. Shoot them around the corner of the wall, being careful not to fall off of the rim of the dock. If you fall in the water while trying to get back on the rim, you must go back to the ladder that you started from. Continue through the path until you get to the part where the car is located. Shoot all visible enemies then get into the car. Look at the map and drive forward to the point of the dock and get into the water. There are enemies on the dock that will fire at you. Swim as close as you can to the yacht, and go around the left side of it to the ladder leading to the dock. Once there, it will be much easier to drive to the goal or just explore the world. Note: The boat will glitch if you take it to the goal and freeze the game. If you are tailed, drive your car into the water and they will follow you. They are much more defenseless while treading water, and their passenger will automatically go down with the wreck.
Survival mode
After the countdown to start, turn the car around and drive in the opposite direction. Go to the first road on the right and follow it. Try not to get hit by the cops, as it will slow you down. A short distance up that road is a parking garage on the right. Go inside and go all the way to the top level. Try not to have any cops follow you. You can go the very top level and just park at the corner. The cops will not go up there, and the timer just keeps ticking.
Cops gone wild
This will work on any level. During Take A Ride mode when the cops are not after you, pull out your gun and start shooting people. Once you see a cop coming towards you on your radar, quickly put your gun away. The car will stop in the middle of the street and the two officers will get out. One of the officers will stand by the car while the other wanders off. Keep both of them in sight for about a minute (without pulling out you gun or stealing a car). One of them will start shooting at people for no reason. Sometimes both of them will shoot.
Make cops run into you
Select Take A Ride moide. Get a cop on your tail. Get a short distance from the cop. Stop and get out of the car. Walk directly behind your car facing the cop with any gun out. If done correctly, the cop should drive at full speed at you and kill you.
Losing cops
When running away from the cops, weave in and out of traffic and poles and trees. The cops will not be able to keep up because they will crash.
Get arrested
In any car, if you tail a police car for too long they will arrest you.
Getting out of roadblocks
To get out of roadblocks easier, try looking for a fence you can drive through or just cut across some grass or the pavement. If you cannot manage any of these, build up some speed and bash into one of the police cars. Hit the front or the back, otherwise you will not get anywhere. Doing this will probably cause you to flip your car over - try to steer in the correct direction to help keep your balance. When you emerge from the other side of the roadblock, you should have only one police car after you.
Drive under car
Drive the Go-Kart in Miami and look for a moving or stationary car. Slowly run into the car with the Go-Kart. The Go-Kart will go under the car. This is useful for going past a car.
Using 18 wheeler
You can hook and unhook your trailer from the cab during game play. If you choose the semi when starting, look near the starting point for a trailer. Back into the trailer to hook it up. To release the trailer press [Reload].
Road kill
Go to Take A Ride mode and choose the 18 Wheeler. Start driving fast and head onto the wrong side of the road. When you see a car coming towards you, ram it head-on. Then, get out of the vehicle and you can see that the driver of the car you rammed died on impact. Note: Try to back your truck back onto the correct side of the road because the cops will arrive to investigate the accident. If you keep driving on the wrong road they will come after you.
Destroying horns
In Take A Ride mode, when you drive correctly sometimes an annoying person gets behind you and constantly beeps their horn. If this annoys you, you can back-up and ram your rear end into the front end of their car to destroy the horn.
SPAS-12 shotgun
Get your felony meter filled. The cops will start carrying shotguns. Kill the cops and take their shotguns to get one. Note: In order to always start Take A Ride mode with the shotgun you obtain, go to "Quit Game" after you get one then go to "Profiles" on the main menu and select "Save Profile".
Tanner picks his nose
Allow the game to idle for over a minute and Tanner will pick his nose.
