Get out of your face.

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.

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.

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

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 some advantage.

Third shortcut: Now this is difficult to get. I suggest you use the same trick as in the first shortcut, and use a nitro, missile, etc. Try to jump LEFT, before the curve to the part where the two lanes go next to the other one, and go towards the boxes on the jump. If you use your trap correctly, you'll land down, and save some time.

Fourth shortcut: This is the one I use the most, but you need the Super Turbo Pads cheat (at the Main Menu, hold down L1 and R1, and without rel;easing them, press triangle, right, right, circle, left - ARROL), and if the cheat's active, go to the RIGHT side of the pads, the furthest right point as possible, and jump towards the upper track, right where the tunnel leading the finish starts (well it's not a tunnel, but I think you can understand what I mean) Press the R1 or L1 button as furthest as possible after you take off. When you get to the track, as soon as you land, quickly turn LEFT, either by power sliding, or by breaking to make a quick turn. This one trick will save you 7 - 10 seconds! Just using this cheat you'll be able to beat Oxide's time, which is really hard for many of us in other tracks as well.

Extra shortcut: NOTE: THIS WASN'T TESTED, BUT I HEARD OF IT. On the track where the two lanes go next to the other one, use your trap (nitro, missile...) to bounce over the red fence, and you'll land on the other lane. I suggest you do it where the fence ends, because when I use a bomb, it can't get through the fence, until the end of it.

Hope this helps!

Whenever you go over a bump, push the R1 or L1 button to get a little boost.
The higher you go, the more boost you will get.
This really helps in a race.
*-*

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.

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 to the left on the ramp. NOTE: Do not use Super Turbo code for this, as you will go too far.

When you get a missle, hold R2+down and press circle. This works about
75% of the time when done correctly. Also, you can fire bombs backward
By pressing down+circle, and fire potions forward by presing up+circle.

BEWARE there is one placebo for unlocking oxide beware ALSO this WILL ONLY work on RCPD version of the game. try to avoid getting the platinum or PAL version of the Game.

One will give 3 characters of your choosing the same stats as Nitrus Oxide or on the pal version it will unlcock either N.Trophy or Pinstripe or the scrapbook.

If you have the version that I'm talking about use one of cheats an the stats are yours. There is one proper cheat but it is way too complicated you will find it out eventually.

If it doesn't work contact back on here on SC.

Hope I helped.

Yours truly .

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, end jump) Ngin labs (another turbo pad leading to the huge jump at the end) Turbo Track (most turbo's do this)

To keep your big big speed longer just try to get optimum speed as you enter the turbo. (Press Triangle to see your speedometer max out).

Also dont boost or bump to hard while your at this speed because it will slow you down. You will eventually lose speed.

When you have a TNT on your head keep tapping R1 and it will the TNT will jump off !

Go to adventure mode on the main menu and ride around doing races and as you do races, you will unlock places to go in.

Don't think it's easy though, because the characters that's lock might be hard.

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!!

Here it is, same as the other hints after the skinny tunnel, after the 2nd or 3rd turbo pad(the people who know the secret) there's a little bump/ramp before the 1st massive ramp.

Time this carefully when you try and jump off the little bump/ramp and go left at the same time as jumping of the bump/ramp.

Note: This very handy for Timetrial mode

good luck!

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...

To help you speed up plus getting more powerful power ups collect wumpa fruit.

They are usually in striped boxes but some will just appear on some
tracks.

to get ripper roo,at the title screen press right,circle,circle,down,up,down,right this may take a few tries,so take your time and make sure you do it right.

On tiger temple on the platinum relic race(adventure) you need to get every single box to cut 10 seconds of your total time. If you notice, there is a open tunnel just before the last turning drive trough it to get the 2 last boxes.

If you want to get the CTR token on tiger temle, the same tunnel has to be used to claim the 'R'. This time it's closed but you need a aku aku mask or a uka uka mask to get in, or a homing missle.

If you want to shoot a cannon ball or a bottle (red or green) forwards, just PRESS and HOLD Up and 0 to release the bottle/cannon ball forwards.

In "Crash Cove" the big ramp by the water, leads to a shortcut! Go on the ramp and jump in thehole in the stone on your left, then after you go through the hole you'll come out of the waterfall!

alright, this is really cool, in CTR,papus pyramid get a mask, but don't use it wait till' yuo get to the last turn before you finish a lap when you get close to the end of the wall activate it at the end of the wall and do a 180* degree turn to the other side it takes alot of practice but when you get it helps!

Missiles



1. When Shooting a missile try not to shoot them around corners because they will just curve and hit the wall.



2. If a missile is coming at you and you have a TNT Crate, Nitro Crate, or either potions wate untill the triangles are in the center of the square and then drop it.



If you don't have either of those you can use an AKU AKU mask or an UKA UKA mask.



3. If you don't have those you're toast.

I hope this helped you!!!

Polar pass:When you come up to the three jumps get an uka on the first turbo pad jump straight over to the next part of the track it shold put you quite a way in front.



Hot air skyway:After the big jump when you come up toa railing then a littel hill go to the bottam then turn around drive up and jump over the fence it is good for cathing up oxide on the time trial.

Hey guys check out these wicked tips you'll be much better it will blow you away



1.DO the unlimeted voodo mask Left/Triangle/right/Left/Circle/Right/

Down x2.Now go to a arcade game click the best character then in the cup use your mask all the time and you will be really really fast and it's easy for short cuts which travel through the air(blizzard bluff) and cutting across gravel or rocks(mystery cave)

2.in oxide station there is NO SHORTCUT I have tried and tried but I get put back behind.I'm not wrong!

3.Just before a jump do a turbo 2 times then do your third at the jump then hold it then hit the ground and do a triple turbo (this is good with mask).

4.this is a simalar tip to no.3just do that four times or on all jumps i you get ahead.

5.this is a shortcut for all levels (not all are the same ones you know)

Crash cove-1.after thefirst jump the is a ditch then a bump press R1 and hold it then you get near the bridge and go over 2.is on the 2nd ship it puts you in front

n.gins lab- 1.cut corners 2.get mask jump on to pads

coco park-1.cut corners.2.when you get out off the bridge go to the right drive up and round then jump on to the warp pad.

SHORTCUT: Tiger Temple



And the end of the 1st place with the flamethrowers about 3-5 secs you should see a sort of big glass window shoot it and it will open for you and by the way it includes Aka Aku + Uka Uka masks
