Tinytanic
boat: The Tinytanic boat can be unlocked by completing the Catacomb
level. All bonus boats are unlocked by getting first place in each bonus
track.
Hint:
Hydro Jump: Make sure you have boost, then hold X + R1,
release X, and press Square while continuing to hold R1.
If done correctly, your boat will fly into the air.
Hint:
Mega Hydro Jump: You must have plenty of boost. Press R1 + X + Square,
release X and you will do the Hydro Jump. Continue to do this and
you will be bouncing, or skipping through the water. This is especially
useful in the Nile Adventure track when in the room with the floating 9
second boost.
Hint:
Super start: Hold X immediately after the announcer says
"one" at the start of the race. In about three seconds a voice
should say "Super Start". This allows you to go faster from the
start and usually takes you to about 13th place immediately.
Hint:
Super boost: Press R1 to use a boost while going through buoy in any
level. It will make your boat go very fast. A explosion-like sound will
confirm that the trick worked.
Hint:
Arctic Circle: Shortcut: Near the beginning of the level are some houses. There is a
house where you can only see the roof. Jump off the roof and you should
jump up about three or four places ahead.
Hint:
Arctic Circle: 4 second boost: When you are about halfway through the track, there is the 4
second boost before a 90 degree left turn, and a tunnel before the corner.
Use boost to ram into the bank just before the tunnel and bounce into the
tunnel. When you enter the tunnel you will pick up speed and your boat
will be uncontrollable. You will exit before the tanker jump.
Hint:
Arctic Circle: Secret area: When you reach the area with the big oil tanker and penguins,
jump over into a secret area with a red boost.
Hint:
Catacomb: 9 second boost: At beginning of the race there are two columns. Go between them
and you will get a 9 second boost.
Hint:
Far East: Shortcut: When you are about half way through the level you will reach a
place where the water will drop three times. Just when your on the third
one, immediately do your booster jump when you get on the edge. When your
boat jumps in the air, hold Boost. If done correctly, you should
land on top of a place above the tunnel ahead. This will make it much
faster than having to go in a big "L". Note: This requires some
practice.
Hint:
Far East: Boost: When you pass the first dragon shortly before the finish line,
make sure you have some boost remaining for the little island holding the
second dragon. If you boost/jump through the lanterns on the island, you
will get extra boost. You can get an eight second boost if you hit both
lanterns precisely.
Hint:
Lake Powell: Shortcut: Near the end of the level there are two gaps and a cement
ramp-like wall separating them. Use your booster and go up the ramp. You
should land on the train tracks and get a 9 second boost.
Hint:
Lost Island: Boosts: After the first shortcut is a bunch of grass. On the left side,
jump immediately before the tunnel. This will take you to four boosts (two
blues and two reds).
Hint:
Lost Island: Shortcuts: Go through the waterfall at the beginning of the level. You
will get a red and blue boost, fall out a small fall, and immediately find
a small village. At the end of the village, before the slight turn, go
towards the left side. You will find a cave. Go through it and get the red
boost, then a blue. You will exit the cave and be above the track. You
will get another blue boost and a final red boost.
This level has three
shortcuts. At the start, go through the waterfall then turn to the left.
Before you go through the tunnel, do a Hydrojump. This will take you to a
secret area. If you miss it, you can also go up the other waterfall but
you will take damage. You can then go through the volcano, but use a turbo
off of the ramp to get an invisible 9 second boost.
Hint:
New York Disaster: Shortcut: Near the beginning is a silver revolving door that appears to
be solid. Go through it and you will find a blue boost and a red boost. To
get the red boost you have to use a Hydro Jump (hold Brake and use Boost).
Just after the start when you
enter the first tunnel, you will see a checkered pattern on the left wall
(just before exiting the tunnel). This is a shortcut that will bring you
to where the revolving door would, and will take you five or so places
further into the pack.
Hint:
New York Disaster: Boost: At the start of the level is a wide tunnel. While in this
tunnel a checkerboard pattern on the wall will appear. When you see this,
turn towards the left. Use the Hydro Jump to find a red boost.
Hint:
Nile Adventure: Complete the level: The following steps will help you complete Nile Adventure, the
hardest level in the game in the only way possible. Go into the room where
you can use the "Mega Hydro Jump" trick and get all the boosts.
There are about four or, so including a 9 second boost. Some of the boosts
are hidden, and require some practice. Recommended boats for this track
are The Chumdinger, and the boat with the Fisherman, the Dog, and the huge
booster. Use all the shortcuts, jump up onto the top of the track in the
beginning of the race, and the near the end, bust through the sarcophagus.
Hint:
Venice Canals: Complete the level: The following steps will help you complete Venice Canals, the
hardest level (next to Nile Adventure) in the game in the only way
possible. First, you must get a large amount of boost. A fast boat like
the RaD HaZarD is recommended, if your good at turning. You must use your
hydro jump to jump onto and over grass. This will get you ahead of a few
racers. Then, you will reach a room with swinging chandeliers You have to
hydro jump at just the right moment on the second chandeliers (there are a
total of three). You will get a 9 second boost. Use it wisely to win and
complete the level.
Hint:
Venice Canals: Secrets: A house will appear when you are going down the straightway
before the sharp turn (where there is a bridge). Do a Hydro Jump, and if
you are in eight place or less, you will end up in first place for the
time being.
There is a bridge after you
see the red boost in the hole that is up high. If you go to the far right,
you will go under the bridge and see a bonus. If done correctly the
announcer will say that you have found a secret.
Hint:
Recommended boats: The following is a list of the best boats to use on the easy
and medium tracks.
Thunder Park track: Damn
the Torpedoes
Lost Island track: Midway
Arctic Circle track: Damn the Torpedoes
Greek Isles track: Midway
Lake Powell track: Thresher
The Far East track: Thresher or Midway
The best boat in the game
aside from the bonus boats is the Damn The Torpedoes. It will go faster
and you will pass more people.
Glitch:
Multiple boat name announcements: Choose your boat and press X at the boat selection
screen. The announcer will say your boat's name three times. Note: This
does not work in two player mode.
Glitch:
Nile Adventure: Enter the room with the sarcophaguses. In the one where you
bust through to go in the short-cut, you can get rammed up against the
wall near it and will be flying up it. Keep pressing Accelerate to
make multiple copies of your current boat appear.
Glitch:
Hydro Skip: Unlock the Chumdinger and N.Y. Disaster boats. Enabling the
"Unlimited boost" GameShark code is also recommended. Go the
part where the Coast Guard chases you around the "asteroid".
Enter the tunnel and take the left path. When you reach the part where you
fall down a hole, Hydro Jump and crash into the subway. Your boat will
jump around and spin until you get out (by going in reverse).
