Hug the Rail:
Your car doesn't slow down while rubbing fences. You can sucessfully
zoom around most turns at top speed by carefully running the car up to
the wall, keep going straight and flooring the accelerator. This works
the best at the Coastline track.

PlayStation Mode:
While playing, press B, Left, Right, Up, Left, Z, Right. This removes
bi-linear filtering, giving the game a pixelated look similar to that
of PlayStation games.
At the first corner take the right hand road, NOT THE TUNNEL. The road
is a much easier and hence faster turn.
After the first natural tunnel you go through you'll find a break in
the guardrail on your right. Go though this break and continue
straight across a beach (along the water) for this shortcut.
After you re-enter from the beach, turn left, right, left and before
you finish the next right you'll notice a break in the stone wall on
your left (you should be able to see a lighthouse in front of you).
Turn through the break and stay to the left on the grass so that you
are running beside a stone wall. This will lead you to the end of the
short cut.
JUNGLE:
After you start the race, stay to the right hand side of the road.
During the first turn you'll see a hut on the right. Just after the
hut is a hidden short cut. Hit the brakes and turn right.
After this shortcut you'll notice a left turn sign, followed by a
right turn sign. You'll then enter a long left hand turn that has many
left turn arrows and has a stone wall on the right. When you are
almost finished this turn you'll notice some grass covering part of
the wall, drive up this onto a grassy hill. After you pass the point
of tree on the hill, turn right and continue on the grass, otherwise
you'll jump straight off the hill and into a wall on the other side of
the track!
DESERT:
After you leave the city you'll see a house on the right hand side of
the road. SLOW DOWN and turn onto the grass before the house and
follow the tire marks. They'll lead you through the short cut. This is
a difficult short cut. You might want to skip this one until you've
learned to control the cars better.
After travelling through a valley, you'll have a choice between a high
and low road. Take the low road to your left and put the petal to the
floor. The high road has some sharp turns in it, but the load road is
one long sweeping left handers.
MOUNTAIN:
Eventually you'll come to a dirt road. After about 4-5 sharp turns
you'll notice a sign high on the right hand side of your screen that
shows you that a "Y" intersection is coming up. Turn right, and slow
down. Take the a left at the "Y" and go down the "Jacked up Road."
Careful! If you go to fast you'll definately be in trouble!
STRIP MINE:
Soon after you start the race there will be a fork in the road, go to
the right and head straight, soon you will see an open mine shaft, go
in it and hug the right wall, there will be a ramp that you can jump
off and onto a higher mine shaft.
When you are about halfway through the strip mine course, you will see
a house with a dirt parking lot, stay to the right and you will go
upon a narrow dirt road with a jump on it, go off the ramp and stay as
far to the right as you can, you will be on a road that would have
been blocked off if you didn't jump over it. By taking those short
cuts, you can almost garuntee 1st or 2nd place.
To get the Strip Mine Track, place first in every race for the whole
year (1st season to 6th season.)
