Hint: Launch Site weapons:

You will be takenup on to the tower and a booster rocket will be placed on backof 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.

Hint: Quick start:
To rev up your engines for a quick start, press Gas+ Brake. After revving up, you should do a wheelie. Thisis useful for a quick start and for getting up hills.

Hint: Alaskan Pipeline: Grind:
When you enter the level, head towards the water andyou will pass between two pipes that go into the ground. Rightafter 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 anotheroil silo. You should be looking across to another one. Slowlydrive off it to land on the pipes, going into the ground to grindacross them. You can do a 50-50 a 180 or car (board) slide.

Hint: Area 51: Launch nuclear missile:
Collect the hover upgrade in the second hanger (theone on the immediate right if you are player one). Then, blastthrough the back of the hanger and fly over the hill so the radardishes detect you. When you hear the radar dish give off a signaland move, you have approximately twenty to thirty seconds to setoff the nuclear rocket. Detach the hover upgrade and drive tothe left of the Area 51 administration building. Use your machineguns to blast through the side doors. Drive through the buildingand pick up two special weapons and a wrench. Use your machineguns again to blast the other side doors. Once through the building,drive right and around the missile silo. You will see a greenlight overhead, indicating the missile launch is ready. Driveunderneath the green light and the nuclear missile will launch.The missile will seek whomever you are locked on to and causea good amount of damage. Note: Repeat the steps to do this asmany times as desired.

Shoot out doors of the building and drive through. Half way throughyou will hear a small click. Drive to the lights by the silo yourfacing. If one is red and one is green, go under and the missilewill launch. It will fly towards the car that is targeted. Ifthe lights are both red, drive through again until you hear theclick. There is a long reload time between missiles - one maynot launch if one was very recently fired. The missiles also willnot launch if the building is destroyed. Additionally, at leastone satellite dish must be present to launch.

Hint: Arizona: Airborne in crater:
Enable the "Faster cars" code. Start in themiddle of the crater and circle around until you get enough speed.Speed out of one of the sides and you will become airborne. Whenyou reach the boundary of the level, you will be launched backand land back in the crater. You can continue the trick untilyou wreck.

Hint: Arizona: Big ant:
Destroy the observatory in Arizona and wait until theloud explosion. Examine the big crater in the middle of the levelto find a big asteroid. Destroy the asteroid and a giant ant willemerge and shoot everyone in the level.

Destroy the ant, and stand in the middle of the crater. When thebig rock appears, it will land on you and you will fly.

Choose Convoy and make sure your trailer does not explode. Destroythe 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.

Hint: Arizona: Rolling donut:
Destroy the donut shop in the Arizona level withoutdamaging the "Super Donut" on top. The donut will rollaround the level destroying enemies. This may be done on eachof the two donut shops in the level.

Hint: Arizona: Rocket:
Go to one of the gas stations in the Arizona leveland shoot the rocket located there with your machine gun. It willlaunch and hit your enemy.

Hint: Arizona: Attacking police:
If you shoot the cop in the Arizona level he will attackyou by ramming your vehicle.

Hint: Arizona: Helping the cop:
Either Choose a Heavyweight (Convoy, Garbage Man, etc.)or use the Magnetic Mine. This should hold the car the cop isafter. Enable the "Invincibility" code, then use JohnTorque and stay inside the cop. When an enemy appears, make surehe has fire (Mortar Cannon, Bullseye Rockets, etc.). When he shootsyou with it, the cop will go after the enemy, making the leveleasier to complete. Note: When the cop chases the enemies, aboutthe third or fourth time he will park on a cliff or get stuckin the air.

Hint: Arizona: Get away from cop:
Choose Padre Destino, then attack the police. Aim atthe enemy and use the special move. Make sure he is far away orthe cop will come after you, then he will go away.

Hint: Arizona: Cop has upgrades:
Enable the "Big wheels" or "High suspension"codes and attack the police. He should have the same upgradesas you do.

Hint: Florida: Shark:
You can be attacked by a shark by getting the hydrofloaterpower 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 torelease when your special runs out is into the fans or jets. Becareful not to get yourself pulled into them. This will also buyyou some time to get other weapons. This is also effective tolaunch enemies into the fans to complete that objective.

Hint: Louisiana: Ghosts:
Destroy the graves in the cemetery. Ghosts will appearand begin attacking.

If an enemy is close by when you destroy the tombs, the ghostsmay attack the enemy instead of you.

When you destroy a tomb, drive very fast to the one next to itand also destroy it. If done correctly, there should be more thanone ghost circling the ruins of a tomb. The ghosts will keep circlinguntil they attack someone. You can get up to five ghosts thisway, but you need to be very fast to outrun the them.

To escape from the ghosts without being attacked, drive into thedeep water (the water that can you sink in and come out elsewhere).The ghosts cannot attack you.

Hint: Louisiana: Flood:
Approach the bridge (or dam) and shoot at the nearbywheel. It will start to spin and the bridge will begin to raise.Keep shooting until the bridge is completely raised. Repeat thisat the other bridge. In a few seconds, it will start to flood.

Hint: Louisiana: Hidden bonuses:
Get Gator trapped in the charges in the water section.Specials and wrenches will fly out.

Hint: Louisiana: Destroy enemies easier:
Choose someone that has a special that can send theenemies flying (Garbage Man, Convoy, etc.). Make sure that theyget in the lake on the left. If near the bayou, it is the lakeon the left; on the right if in the grave yard; or get them intothe deep water. This is also useful in two player or quest mode.Note: You can also do this in the Florida level. Bump them intothe shark, throw them in deep water, or attack them to take theirfloaters off.

Hint: Pennsylvania: Molten metal ooze:
Find the red-orange steel that sets you on fire ifyou touch it. Shoot it and it will melt, oozes across the river,and disappear. This is useful when enemies are on the other side.

Hint: Utah Ski Resort: Snow games:
There are three different snow games to play. If youdo them properly, you will get extra power-ups, weapons, etc.Go to the top of the hill via ski lifts, or by just driving. Thefirst game is a skiing type slalom (obtain the ski powerup first).Successfully slalom the blue/red flags. A winner's stand withpower-ups will appear at the bottom, by the resort. The secondis a ski slope/ramp. To get to the ramp, you must first driveinto the tower at the top of the hill. Drive down the ramp asfast as possible. Once in the air, you can do tricks and get pointsfor power-ups at the winner's stand. The last ski game is theluge, 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 uppower-ups at the winners stand. All these mini-games can be doneas often as needed, but you must break your previous score inorder to keep getting power-ups.

Hint: Utah Ski Resort: Going back up theski jump:
Note: This trick is almost impossible, but can be done.Enable the "More speed" code. Take a car that has amedium or slow top speed, but good acceleration and go down theramp of the ski jump. Launch off all the way to the opposite sideand you will bounce off the edge in mid-air, just like in theArizona level. On the way back, do a 180 and land back on theramp. Hit the brakes right when you hit the ramp (if you do notdo this, you will go straight through the jump). If done correctly,you can slowly accelerate the car up the ramp until you get tothe tower. You will be able to go right down the tower or outthe other side.

Hint: Fire all ammo:
Enable the "Rapid Fire" code, then begingame play. Get any gun, get close to an opponent, then rapidlytap Fire. The gun should fire all of its ammunition inabout five seconds.

Hint: Brimstone Burner:
Equip the Brimstone Burner and have at least 16 fire"units". Find your enemy in the level and drive up tohim until you have made contact with his vehicle. Launch the BrimstoneBurner's Fire Wall (Right, Left, Down, MachineGun) onto his vehicle. If done correctly, it will do a largeamount of damage and sometimes instantly destroy the other vehicle.

Hint: 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 inmulti-players" code. Have both players one and two be theSamson Tow Truck. Go to any level with at least one enemy. Getthe special for both vehicles, and get near the enemy car. Bothplayers should grab the same car with the special move at approximatelythe same time, then pull away from the other player. You can getover 200 Whammy be doing this. This does not always "TOTAL!"the car.

Hint: Whammies multiplied:
Play as Bob O and use your special. While they areattached, you can use the Cow Puncher Special to do a WhammieX4.

This trick requires the Samson Tow Truck and the Moontrekker,along with both of their specials. This will work best if youuse it on a heavy vehicle such as the garbage truck, bus, etc.Start a two player or multi-player game. Both players should targetthe same heavy vehicle, then whoever is playing as the Tow Truckshould use their special to grab onto the enemy. While they arestill holding the enemy, the player with the Moontrekker shoulduse their special -- do not wait too long. This will probablywork better if the player with the Tow Truck does not drive aroundwith the enemy in tow. This could lead up to a possible 200x Whammie.

Hint: Double garbage truck:
If there are three garbage trucks, get one to use theCompactor on another garbage truck. Then, use your garbage truckto use the Compactor on the first truck that is already holdingthe other truck.

Hint: Convoy's truck:
Convoys regular truck is a 1950's Autocar Diesel. Hisupgraded truck is a 1977 Kenworth W900.

Hint: Convoy's truck to Lizard Tail's Truck:
Press C-Down at the single player screen todisplay the color change menu. Set the brightness to two percent(the white one) and change the color to purple. Convoy's Truckwill now resemble Lizard Tail's truck from 18 Wheeler AmericanPro Trucker.

Hint: Torque's car:
Get Torque's car upgraded to where all stats are atmaximum. Then, enable the "Invincibility" code and choosehis car. Get the cop to chase you and it will resemble the movieSmokey and the Bandit.

Hint: Special weapons:
