Shortcuts:
There is building that appears to be a gas stationapproximately two thirds of the way through the Medium and HardLevel tracks. Make a hard left turn at this building to reacha fence. Use the Auto Jacks to jump the fence. Use the ChopperBlades to cut the trees blocking the path. While driving overthe trees the surface will be muddy, so use the Belt Tires forbetter traction and speed. A small lake will appear. Activateeither the Defender Dome or the Frogger buttons (one automaticallyactivates the other). After the lake is another fence that isjust in front of a waterfall. Jump this fence and make a hardleft turn to avoid hitting the far wall next to the waterfall.Race to the finish line. This shortcut will allow almost halfof the track to be skipped.
In the medium and long tracks (just after the gas station twothirds of the way through), on the left hand side of the coursethere appears to be an uncompleted overhead pass. Use the AutoJacks to jump on the overpass, then switch to Belt Tires overthe mud. Then Auto Jack over the barrier at the end of the shortcut.
Tunnel shortcut:
You can break through any of the doors that are inthe tunnels if they are hit at near full speed. Breaking throughthe first door in the first tunnel leads to a small shortcut thatincludes jumping a fence and going through water. In this secretpart of the tunnel is also a 90 degree turn to the left and anotherdoor.
Hints:
Leaving the Belt Tires activated will result in a slowertop speed on the race track. Leaving the Chopper Blades activatedaffects handling slightly.
