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.

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.

Additionally, at leastone satellite dish must be present to launch.

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.

Hint: Whammie X4:
Play as Bob O and use your special. While they areattached, you can use the Cow Puncher Special to do a WhammieX4.

Hint: Double power weapons:
Enable the "Rapid fire" code. Get one loadonly of Bull's Eye Rockets, Skyhammer Mortars, and InterceptorMissiles. Fire all your ammo and repeat the process three times.Get any weapons of you choice (and get all the ammo as desired)and they will be twice as powerful.

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: Strange colors:
Enable the "All characters", "Rapidfire", "Lighter cars", and "Invincibility"codes. Start one match with any character in arcade mode (withtwelve enemies). When it is completed, do another with the samecharacter and a different level. On the enemy health bar screenthe Chrono Stinger (Agent R. Chase) will appear all purple, thebruiser cannon will be all gray with black stripes and the orangeballs of fire will appear as purple squares (the fire is stillthere when it lands and it is normal). The flame thrower lookslike the B-cannon (the fire coming from it looks fine but thesmoke is purple). All the other weapons will be glitched. It maytake awhile for the colors to get changed. It helps if your characteris Lord Clyde (the character with the Limo), your first levelis California, and your second level must be Arizona. The onlysure way to get the strange colors is to kill an ant in the Arizonalevel, sit in the middle of the crater, and get the rock to hityou. When you fly up, the game will freeze, after a short timeyou will start to fall slightly before freezing again.

Hint: Create your own "evil"car:
Select a game mode, then highlight the desired car.Press Circle then move down to the bottom bar and lowerit completely. Finally, go to the top bar and choose your color.

Soon after your machine will rocket upand out of the game boundary, where your enemy is. The game mayfreeze. To get back into the level, just use your special weaponagain.
