Cups

I have a few things to say a good way of winning the cups is to do the following:

type in these codes where u&n= up, e&r= right, l&w = left, s&d = down (might not be the right way!) o = circle and a= triangle

Invisibility: UNSEEN (up,up,down,right,right,up)

Unlimitied Masks: WARLORDS (left,triangle,right,left,circle,right,down,down)

Infinite Wumpa Fruit: SERDS (down,right,right,down,down)

!Wumpa Fruit part might not work!

Ok, now you will be unstoppable and the masks give you a small burst of speed, when somebody overtakes you, use a mask and drive up really close to them, they should go flying in the air, keep that up and you should win!

Oh, and if you want to use a locked character:

Penta Penguin = SEASWAN

Here are some rare shortcuts:



Coco Park shortcuts


Just before the first boost pad you will notice that there is a patch of grass to the left. Cut across the grass and go for the pad.



Right after the finish line, there will be a triangle of purple hills. Get a good boost and jump in between the last one and the one before it. Dont crash in to the wall! I recommend you use a turbo or a mask to do this shortcut.



On the opposit side of the 2nd supercharge, their will be a stone wall with a purple tree on top of it. Jump over it and land back onto the road. I recommend you use a turbo or a mask to do this shortcut.

HOT AIR SKYWAY shortcuts - easy beat oxide's time

This track is very long, and it's lanes cross in many points. I'll introduce you into various shortcuts on this track. I CAN TELL YOU THESE WORK BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THEM AT LEAST ONCE.

First shortcut: on the straight part of the track before going through the spiral curves (and next is the high jump) run into a nitro or get hit by a bomb, missile, or anything that makes you bounce when hit. You must be hit while running to the RIGHT side of the track. If done correctly, you'll land on a posterior part of the curve, right before the Turbo Pad.

Second shortcut: this one is easier. On the big jump, after the long curves, go to the RIGHT side of the pad on the right. Press the R1 or L1 button at the same time as you take off the ramp. Go to the right track. It gives you..

On the track that tiny tiger is the favourite of that is in papu papu's area when you get to the bit with the huge head through a green or red jar at it's head.

Shoot a misile at the door, shoot a bomb at the door or run into the door with the aku aku or the uka uka.


Dragon Mines

There is a shortcut in Dragon Mines!

ONLY USE THIS SHORTCUT IF YOU HAVE AN AKU AKU/UKA UKA MASK, UNLESS YOU LIKE TO GET RUN OVER!

Seriously now, don't use it without some form of protection as it involves going over the railway. OK, now on to the shortcut!

When you see the first railway line (and maybe a cart going alone it) make a direct turn right so that you are on the railway, just drive across and get off at the wooden arches...


A Few Shortcuts

Here are a few handy shortcuts to help you beat your friends/enemies.

Polar Pass: You all probably knew this one, but after you exit the green cavern with the seals, there is a metal wall. By correct timing and/or some form of boost, you can jump the wall entirely.

Sewer Speedway: Shortly after the first jump with the two pipes and the turbo ramp, you'll see a long path with a large hole high in the right wall. You can use a mask, turbo boost, or power slide to help reach it, or you can try gaining speed and pressing R1 right before jumping. The shortcut skips a long turn for you and cuts off half of the track.

Oxide Station: Remember the area with two turbo pads leading to a ramp shortly before the big jumps? Well, you can avoid those and much more by veering a bit..

Beating Oxide

There is no cheat for beating oxide.

I played the whole game in Adventure mode with no short cuts and no cheats and I beat him!

You have to race twice first after the trophy race and then the final challenge after the gem and relic races.

You can beat him!!


Huge speed you have not never seen before

Just to let people know (everyone who's played the game should know this even if they say its not true)

you can't get N-Oxide.

I have all platinum relics, beaten Oxides ghosts, you name it I've done it on this game. (for people who call themselves skilled) If you powerslide turbo as much as you can onto the 3rd turbo pad... in N-Gin Labs.

Do not jump, just drive and drop over the gap you'll see you'll go alot faster than you've ever been before off any other turbo.

Few other turbo pads will get you to this speed. Other Turbo pads that do this: (remember not to jump)

Hot air skyway 2nd turbo pad (don't take the shortcut)

Oxide Station (the first turbo pad that leads to a jump)

Cortex castle (the turbo pad right before the huge, en..

In Crash Cove, around the first corner is a ramp and then after the ramp, there is a pool of water. Towards the end of the pool, go left and you will drive over a bump in the water. Use the bump to give you extra height in order to get onto the ledge. (the one that you need to get onto in order to get the letter)

Hope I Helped.


Shortcuts.

Crash cove:hit the bump in the water rate:medium

Coco park:run across the hill rate:easy

Ripper roos tube:between of the bones rate:medium

Papus pyramid:from the big steps, jump to the left on the first step rate:medium

Jump onto platform where you found the 'C' rate:hard

The last jump by the plant eaters, jump to the right. Rate:medium

Sewer speedway:when you start inside the sewer jump a hill into a small bridge jump of the bridge to the right.rate:medium

(well that is much as I remember, post some more if I missed some)


How to get characters off cheats and keep them

If you're sick of entering codes repeatedly, then enter the codes for the character you want. Then make them complete cup races. When it asks you to save, say yes. Some you may have to do twice.


Hairpins

Whether they are long or short more than likely you'll either be able to cut across it with a shortcut or be able to powerslide through it.


Tiny Temple

Cut through the cave near the end, it's a short cut.


Unlock Penta Penguon.

At the main menu, hold L1+R1 and press Down, Right, Triangle, Down, Left, Triangle, Up.

This is a cheat for the track papu's piramid.When you do a left turn then there you have a lttle jump , don't jump off the jump but if you have a Uka-Uka or a Aku-Aku or a turbo with the speed.



Go on the corner of the jump go off the ramp on the right and do a 180 degree angle, it is possible to be in first place and you save five seconds.
