Tips And Tricks ================== Bonus Cars At the car selection screen, hold C-Up + C-Left + C-Down. Bonus Tracks To access three tracks that you normally can not race without "Crusin' the USA", go to the track selection screen and hold the proper buttons: Golden Gate Park: L + C-Left + C-Down Indiana: L + C-Right + C-Up San Francisco: L + C-Right + C-Down Chicago Crash As you begin the Chicago race you will be on the freeway. After the first two turns you should see a broken down car. If you hit the car just right (causing it to FLY through the air) it will land in front of the first place person. Color Change After you've earned new cars, press C-Up on the Car Selection screen to change your vehicle's color. Easy Upgrades Here's a faster way to update cars in a two-player game. Start a two-player game, and race until you reach Washington D.C. When the DC race begins, press Start and quit the game. Next, have player #1 return to Washington D.C. and upgrade his car. After player #1 has finished, player #2 should do the same thing. Happy cruising! Flashing Lights and Siren Enter the "Secret Head" code, then start a new race as the School Bus or Police Car. While playing, tap Brake, Brake, Gas to flash your lights and/or sound your siren. Iowa Hitchhiker In Iowa go to the second field of corn and find the pine tree in the left and middle of the field. and you should see a hitchhiker. Lost Wheels After a two-player challenge game, the losing player's right front wheel will fall off if you continuously rotate the analog joystick clockwise. This should happen after the car rotates 3-4 times. Talk about driving till the wheels fall off! Nitro Boost Enable the "Secret Head" code, then start a new race. While driving, press Brake, Brake, Brake, Gas, Brake, Gas after each checkpoint for a nitro boost. This won't increase your top speed, but it will increase your acceleration. Secret Head To view the secret head, make a "Hot Time" on any stage. Enter your initials and scroll down to the bottom of the screen, then hold Left on the analog stick for about 35 seconds. A head should come moving down the conveyer belt saying "I love this job." =========== 3.
