Hint: Fantasia shortcut:
After the snake curve, head right to reach the 90°turn. After passing this curve, there will be a hairpin turn withtwo signs pointing right. About a half sign length to the rightof the sign that is further right is a thin pathway that is amajor shortcut. It will require a leap of faith and some skill.
Hint: FF8 Circuit:
After passing though the tunnel, after the third curve,at the lowest part of the map just before the ramp that leadsto the hairpin curve, take an immediate right. It is easy to miss.
Hint: Gingerbread Land shortcut:
Take the branch off to the right, and do not try andget all five Item Spheres on the main track.
Hint: Mythril Mines shortcut:
After entering the second tunnel, almost immediatelyturn left and enter a smaller tunnel. At the end of this tunnel,turn left to go back on the main road.
Hint: Goblin:
If Goblin tries to steal your item, press Start.If done correctly, you will find that Goblin's troop is a Jack.
Hint: Audience:
On certain levels there is an audience watching therace. The basic audience you can see on the side of the road aresome Marlboro, a few Bombs, and some other strange creatures fromthe Final Fantasy series. In the racetrack known as the"FF8 Circuit", the audience is made up of members ofSeeD and Galbadia Soldiers from Final Fantasy 8.
Hint: Over the ditch with Jack:
The only way you can get through the Gingerbread levelwith Jack is to equip him with Dash, get him a Charge, or pickup Haste. When Jack is on the track, there is a ditch later inthe course that requires enough speed for a jump, but he normallyis too slow.
Hint: Miss ice spells:
On freestyle, choose Wht Mage or Drk Mage to floatover ice spells.
Hint: Perfect race:
Play as Jack in versus mode. Your enemy should be Cactuaror also Jack. Equip yourself with Charge or Dash. Give your opponentanything but Dash and Charge. Select the Gingerbread level. Wheneveryou reach the ditch, use your special to jump over it, becauseyou are too slow to jump over it otherwise. Your opponent willnever be able to get over it because he is too slow, and you willalways win.
You can get through over the ditch Jack and Cactaur by using theDash ability or Charge. You can also use the Reverse to get throughthe ditch. All characters have a limit reverse speed of 70 mph,which is just enough for Jack to pass through the ditch. Thismeans that Jack's reverse speed is faster than his accelerationspeed, with just a limit of 50 to 60 mph. The same can be donewith Cactuar.
Ice cube characters (Japanese version):
cartridge. Enable the following code:
D00AB72A 1040
800AB72A 1000
801E929C 037F
80078166 0FFF
Play the game in story mode and eventually, most of the time,in the Vulcan-O Valley course, your character will appear trappedin a large ice cube. The only way you can move is with your specialor with any other move that has a speed up effect.
