Hints
Fantasia shortcut
After the snake curve, head right to reach the 90°
turn. After passing this curve, there will be a hairpin turn with
two signs pointing right. About a half sign length to the right
of the sign that is further right is a thin pathway that is a
major shortcut. It will require a leap of faith and some skill.
FF8 Circuit
After passing though the tunnel, after the third curve,
at the lowest part of the map just before the ramp that leads
to the hairpin curve, take an immediate right. It is easy to miss.
Gingerbread Land shortcut
Take the branch off to the right, and do not try and
get all five Item Spheres on the main track.
Mythril Mines shortcut
After entering the second tunnel, almost immediately
turn left and enter a smaller tunnel. At the end of this tunnel,
turn left to go back on the main road.
Goblin
If Goblin tries to steal your item, press [Start].
If done correctly, you will find that Goblin's troop is a Jack.
Audience
On certain levels there is an audience watching the
race. The basic audience you can see on the side of the road are
some Marlboro, a few Bombs, and some other strange creatures from
the Final Fantasy series. In the racetrack known as the
"FF8 Circuit", the audience is made up of members of
SeeD and Galbadia Soldiers from Final Fantasy 8.
Over the ditch with Jack
The only way you can get through the Gingerbread level
with Jack is to equip him with Dash, get him a Charge, or pick
up Haste. When Jack is on the track, there is a ditch later in
the course that requires enough speed for a jump, but he normally
is too slow.
Miss ice spells
On freestyle, choose Wht Mage or Drk Mage to float
over ice spells.
Perfect race
Play as Jack in versus mode. Your enemy should be Cactuar
or also Jack. Equip yourself with Charge or Dash. Give your opponent
anything but Dash and Charge. Select the Gingerbread level. Whenever
you reach the ditch, use your special to jump over it, because
you are too slow to jump over it otherwise. Your opponent will
never be able to get over it because he is too slow, and you will
always win.
You can get through over the ditch Jack and Cactaur by using the
Dash ability or Charge. You can also use the Reverse to get through
the ditch. All characters have a limit reverse speed of 70 mph,
which is just enough for Jack to pass through the ditch. This
means that Jack's reverse speed is faster than his acceleration
speed, with just a limit of 50 to 60 mph. The same can be done
with Cactuar.
