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..
Hold L1 + R1 and press Down, Right, Triangle, Down, Left, Triangle, Up
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.
At the main menu, enter down, left, right, up, down, right, right.
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..
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 .

I'll send some more cheats tommorrow - I'm getting tired.
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..
When you have a TNT on your head keep tapping R1 and it will the TNT will jump off !
If you want to use a cheat in Adventure mode then select adventure at the main menu and when it gives you the options of a new game, or load a game hold L1 and Rl and put the cheat in there.
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.
Here is some of my wisdom
Unlimited masks: Left, triangle, right, left, circle, right, down, down.
Turbo counter: Triangle, down, down, circle, up.
Unlock Penta Penguin: Down, right, triangle, down, left, triangle, up.
Unlock Pinstripe: Left, right, triangle, down, right, down.
99 Wumpa fruit: Down, right, right, down, down.
Unlimited bombs: Triangle, right, down, right, up, triangle, left.
Unlock Papu Papu: Left, triangle, right, down, right, circle, left, left, down.
Scrapbook: Up, up, down, right, right, left, right, triangle, right.
Infinite invisibility: Up, up, down, right, right, up.
Unlock Komodo Joe: Down, circle, left, left, triangle, right, down.
Spyro..
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...
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
(down,righ..
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.

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.
