Media coverage:
Get your wanted level to six stars to get your pursuit covered in the media. A helicopter and chase meter will appear. Keep running from the helicopter to increase it. Every 100 seconds of game time will result in an increased level of media coverage. Pause game play and look at your statistics to see messages that indicate at your media level. You will start with a story in UFA Today and progress to television news and continue until it is a crisis.

If you have a bazooka (recommended), rocket launcher, moltov cocktail, flame thrower, or anything that causes total mass chaos with a decent amount of ammunition, back up to a wall. Try finding a wall that no one can see you from the left or right. Start launching or burning any cops or pedestrians that you see. The higher the stars, the more media attention .Note: If you get busted or die, you will not get any of the media points. At one star, keep shooting or burning any pedestrians or cops. At two stars, start launching or burning any police cars and "on foot" officers that approach you. At three stars start launching or burning the cops on foot, the police cars , and the Banshees, Cheetahs, Infernos and any other fast undercover police cars. At four stars, start launching or burning police cars, on foot cops, undercover cars, and any S.W.A.T. helicopters (before the S.W.A.T. members lower themselves from ropes). At five stars, launch or burn anything that moves. At six stars, enable the "Lower wanted level" code.

Alternate character in FMV sequences:
Enable one of the various character costume codes (not the "Pedestrian costume" code) three or more times before starting a mission. During the FMV sequences, the character you selected will replace Tommy. Note: This works best with Candy Suxxx.

Easy weapons:
Free weapons are hidden all over the city. The flamethrower and rocket launcher, are two especially powerful weapons. They can be found near the boat yard and car showroom. These all respawn within a few game hours. Collect all the desired weapons, then save at a nearby hideout. The game will advance six hours and all your hidden weapons will have respawned. Do this three to five times, and all your company assets will be close to full, and you can make the rounds to get paid.

In missions where you get a new weapon, fail it intentionally after getting the weapon. You will be able to get it over and over again by repeating this step.

Cheaper weapons:
Use the following trick to get expensive weapons for cheap prices. Go to the first Ammu-Nation in Ocean Beach (with the cheapest prices for weapons) and buy all the machine gun and shotgun ammunition desired. Afterwards, go to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and buy the weapons in the same category (the machine gun and shotgun). Only purchase the guns one time each. When you do that, all the ammunition you have with your cheap shotgun and machine gun should be converted to the newer and most expensive guns. This is very helpful in the beginning when your income is not too high. However, this trick does not work with all the weapons.

Recommended scope weapon:
The PSG-I is not as good as the standard sniper rifle. The scope on the rifle is solid, and the dot never gets larger or smaller, unlike the laser dot of the PSG-I.

Extra ammunition:
If you do a rampage, the type of weapon for it will be taken from you. However, the weapon that you had prior to starting the rampage will double in ammunition. For example, if you do a shotgun rampage and have an Uzi equipped, you will lose all your shotgun ammunition, but have double the Uzi ammo. Note: You do not have to pass the rampage to get the ammunition.

Unlimited ammunition:
Go to any Ammu-Nation store and choose a gun. Keep buying it until you get close to 9999 rounds. The next time you buy it, the ammunition count for that gun will disappear and you will have an unlimited amount.

Use the following trick to get unlimited ammunition on the MP5. Buy unlimited ammunition for a submachine gun-class weapon for $300, then buy (or find) the MP5, which is $3000. It uses the same ammunition, and you will save a couple thousand dollars.

After you finish the last story line mission, the mobsters who are outside of your house carry Uzis. Kill a lot of them and you should have unlimited ammunition for that weapon. Then, but or find the MP5.

If you have a weapon that you want to get unlimited ammunition for, do a rampage. There is a perfect rampage located at the Oakdale Toilet, just a few blocks from the hotel with your hideout. For example, if you have a rocket launcher with 4 rockets and you want to give it unlimited ammunition, switch to the rocket launcher and walk into the skull icon for the rampage. For two minutes, just allow the game to idle. When the rampage ends, whatever weapon you were given for the rampage (for example, at Oakdale Toilet it is a chainsaw) is removed from your arsenal. However, whatever weapon you had in hand (such as the rocket launcher) when you walked into the rampage has its ammunition doubled. To double your ammunition again, just walk into the rampage skull after it regenerates. Or, just stand where the skull was and you will do one rampage after another as the skull regenerates. The rampage at Oakdale Toilet is recommended because you will lose the chainsaw. However, that weapon can be easily replaced with a baseball bat (behind the your hotel) or another chainsaw (from one of the early missions for Cortez). This strategy also allows you to mix weapons from different tiers so that, for example, you can have the tier three weapons with a rocket launcher instead. Save your game once you have the weapons you want with unlimited ammunition.

Quick reloads:
Go to the Rifle Range at the Ammu-Nation in Downtown and get a score of 45 points.

When using a gun, instead of using up an entire clip and waiting for Tommy to reload, quickly switch out your weapon and then switch back to it, It will be fully loaded without having to wait through the normal reload animation.

Shoot faster:
You can shoot people faster by pressing Circle(2). Note: This does not work with all weapons, and you may also need to aim first.

Alternate Ruger, M4, or M60 aiming:
In the PlayStation2 version, to aim with the Ruger, M4, or M60, like the shotguns or pistols, set yourself on fire with a Molotov cocktail and press R1.

Shoot down police helicopters with one sniper shot:
Use the sniper rifle and aim at the joint between the rotors and the helicopter to take it down with one shot.

Stop police helicopters from shooting you:
Get a wanted level of 3 or higher. When the police helicopter appears, shoot it directly where the bullets are coming from. It will not shoot you because your bullets are blocking them. This may not work all the time. The best guns to do this with are the Ruger, Colt M4, M60, or any other gun that has first person view aim.

Taking out police boats:
In the PlayStation2 version, if you are in a boat in the ocean and the police are chasing you, press Triangle and you will not be driving it anymore. The police will stop chasing you and it seems that they do not even notice you are still on the boat. Take out the rocket launcher and blow up the police boats. Start driving again and repeat as needed. You can also hop onto the police boat if it is close to you. However, you must quickly shoot the cop, because he will attack you.

Use police spike strips:
To use police spike strips to your advantage, get three or four stars on your wanted meter. Find an officer on foot that can lay down the spike strip. Try to dodge the spike strip and lure the pursuing officers to pop their tires on it, giving you a chance of escaping.

Escape from police:
If you are being chased by the police and are near streets with alleys, drive near the alleys. Jump out the car at the correct moment and fall into the alley. The police will drive past, giving you some time to run. You can also get out of a heavy car and leave it to block an alley. This is useful if you have a high wanted level.

Find a shore and wade into the water just short of drowning point. Crouch and the cops will not fire at you, but the police chopper will find you.

Run over target without police attention:
Get a car (not a bike) then drive to the person you want to kill slowly. Drive over him slowly, then get out and look at the bottom of your car. They will now die while you are out of your car. Get back into our car, then back up or move forward to get their money. Note: This can also be done to cops.

Police hostage:
Raise your wanted level and wait for a police car with two cops inside. Wait until they are away from the car. Then, one will get in the passenger's side. Run to the drivers side and start driving. The cop will now be yelling at you.

Increase your accuracy rating:
Once you kill someone, take out an M4 and crouch down. Use the manual aim to shoot the body. After a few rounds, your accuracy rate will start to increase little by little. Note: You can also raise your "Head Shots" stat by shooting them in the head.

Go to the boatyard were Colonel Cortez is located. Go back behind the gates with a helicopter. There should be a very big boat; the one that you were on for the "The Party" mission. Land beside it, in the southwest corner of the map. Take a gun and continue to fire at it. You will notice that your accuracy will go up. When you save after this, your criminal rating will have also risen.

Minimize health damage:
When doing a mission that requires chasing down your target from a building or enclosed location containing no fast vehicles (for example, Four Iron) or a mission that requires you to escape from similar areas (for example, Mall Shootout), travel on a motorcycle. Not only will this provide an efficient edge on your mission, but it will also minimize damage to your health.

Pickup truck drive by:
Jump on the back of a pickup truck with an Uzi or another gun. Snipe everyone as you drive by. Be careful when firing -- if a cop hits the truck it will probably speed off, knocking you off.

Ride on hoods:
An easy way to snipe the police and people on the sidewalk is to jump on the hood of a car when it is stopped at a red light. When the car starts driving, you will stay on the hood. When the police chase you, they will hit the car that you are on, making the driver mad and forcing him to drive faster. If they do not drive faster, it will still be difficult for the police to knock you off. Do not stand at the very top of the car, as you tend to slide off the back. Get on the very front, in front of the windshield.

Destroy the Dodo:
You can blow up the Dodo plane flying overhead (pulling the banner) by using the rockets on the Hunter.

Shoot seagulls:
Go to a location with a lot of seagulls, such as the lighthouse at Washington Beach. Use a sniper rifle to zoom in close and shoot a seagull. Their small and fast, so it is a challenge to hit them. When you do, they will explode in a burst of feathers, similar to when you shoot boxes. Note: The game keeps track of how many seagulls you have sniped on the "Stats" screen.

Increase walking total by doing nothing:
Get in front of a truck, preferably a Bobcat. Make sure it stops. Jump over the front and stand in the bed of the truck. The driver will start to drive again. Even though you are just standing in the truck, your walking distance total will increase.

Steal a police boat:
Take a boat and ramp it so that when it lands it will be upside down. Quickly get out so you will be standing on the hull. Take out a rocket launcher and shoot any boats that are in range. After awhile, police boats will come after you. Take a manually targeting gun and shoot the officer though the glass. If done correctly, you should be able to get the police boat and have the police after you. Note: This is difficult to accomplish.

Mini-riot:
Enable the "Tommy groupies" code and run around to get a lot of women chasing you. When you have quite a few, punch a couple of them and they should all start fighting. This will happen most, but not all of the time. Some of the women drop a lot of money when they die.

Scare passenger:
In the PlayStation2 version, this trick works very well at a red light. Find a car or truck that has a passenger as well as a driver. Run up to the car or truck's driver-side door and press Triangle to open it. As soon as Tommy starts to get in, press X to accelerate. If done correctly, the passenger will still be in riding along, screaming and scared. When you slow down, they will run away.

Easy money:
Occasionally as you wander around the city, you will encounter a cop fighting with a gang member (especially in Northpoint Mall). If you step in and hit the gang member, you will receive a $50 Good Citizen's Bonus when the gang member dies. Once the guy is on the ground, you can continue to kick him and receive the bonus two or three more times (until the body disappears). This is an easy way to get some quick cash, and do some fighting in the process.

Knock over the parking meters on the sides of the streets to get money. They give just as much (if not more) money then a person or a clerk from a store.

Enable the "Tommy groupies" code. Run around until you have a large group of women following. Lead them to the nearest alleyway or garage and just beat them all to death. Using weapons calls too much attention from cops and paramedics.

Enter any store and point a handgun at the clerk until he gives you money. Hold the gun for a few seconds until he stops giving you money, then run away and hide or enable the "Lower wanted level" code. Note: Do not do this in an Ammu-Nation store as the clerk will pull a gun.

In the PlayStation2 version, enable the "Rhino" code and press L3 to start the vigilante missions. After every kill, you will begin to get more money. After a while, you will have over $1,000 per kill. When the cops are on you after a kill, enable the "Lower Wanted Level" code.

Go to a hideout that generates money. Get the money and save the game. The game time will advance three hours and more money should be available. Repeat this as much as needed. Note: This does not always work.

Buy Sunshine Autos for $50,000 to unlock the Vice City racer missions. Go down to the pink circle, then choose the Vice City Endurance Race. Note: You must have $10,000 for the entrance fee. Enable the "Weapons (tier 2)" code and drive a car in front of the racers. Select the rocket launcher and very carefully (and at a good distance) blow the cars up. You can then win the race with a vehicle as slow as the Faggio for the $40,000 prize.

After buying Sunshine Autos, enable the "Dodo (flying) car) code and go to the Vice City Endurance Race. Race it, and you will win the $40,000 prize.

Start the fire fighter missions and get at least 100 fires to make about $30,000.

Drive down the road in front of the Ocean View hotel south. Turn right at the first street after the hotel. Make another immediate right on to the street behind the one your hotel is on. Turn left immediately after that to enter a parking garage. Go to the top of the parking garage. When you get to the top, turn right to find a Stallion just before the wall. Enter the Stallion to start the Cone Crazy mini-game. Basically, every time you beat the best time, the prize money doubles. To use this to your advantage, beat it with 1 second remaining, then beat it with 2 seconds remaining, then 3, 4, etc., with each attempt just slightly beating the previous best time. By the time you beat it about 23 times, you will have reached the most amount of money you can have. Save the game after every attempt so that way you do not miss an opportunity to double you money if a mistake is made. Also, in order to do it over again you have to go all the way back down to the street and come back up and enter the Stallion again. Note: If you have $999,999,999 and you do it again, the game will actually lower your money and your criminal ranking.

Instead for shooting a regular pedestrian, try shooting taxi drivers to get more money. Note: This does not work all of the time.

The quickest way to make money is to pick up a prostitute and take her to the beach. Beat her up and you can take double the money. You can get up to $500 by doing this.

After you have bought a property and have completed the missions to earn money from it, enable the "Faster game play" code. Go about one block away and wait for about four to six hours of game time. Go back to the property and the amount earned should be fairly high.

Get a rocket launcher and a three star wanted level. Shoot down the police helicopters that fly overhead. When they crash and explode, you will get about $300. You can do this to any of the police helicopters that fly overhead during a chase.

If you get into a taxi, sometimes you will get cash that the taxi driver has made.

Enable the "Pedestrians riot" code. Let the pedestrians kill each other, then collect all their money. Note: Make sure they do not kill you.

Complete the first Cuban mission with wearing Cuban gang clothes and you will get a $100 bonus.

Use the following trick to raise your Criminal Rating while getting lots of money. Buy Sunshine Autos; there is a Pay N' Spray there that will be needed. Get any car and put it in one of the garages, preferably the one directly across from the Pay N' Spray. Get a Rhino and do the Vigilante missions at the airport. When your wanted level gets up to the point where the police chase after you, drive the Rhino to Sunshine Autos. Drive the tank down to where the garages are, but not all the way. Get out, and it will block the alley from cops that are chasing you. They will explode when they hit the tank. Get in the car that you stashed in the garage and drive into the Pay N' Spray. Your wanted level will disappear and your criminal rating will increase. This is also a good way to get lots of money, as most of the cars spawned during the Vigilante missions will be there at the airport. It is possible to get up to level 135 on the Vigilante missions and over $17,000,000.

Have a 9mm pistol or the first machine pistol. Lock on a store owner inside and wait for him to give you money. when he has done this, slowly walk away outside while still locked on to him. When you are outside on the pavement, disengage your lock and the man will not sound the alarm. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Easy health:
While in a mall, buy something to eat at the food court.

If you are low on health, go to one of your hideouts. Go to the save icon. You do not have to save the game. Select "Cancel". When you get back to the normal game screen, your health will be at 100.

Kill a few people, and an ambulance will arrive to treat the wounded. Steal it for a 20 point health increase.

Easy kills:
In the PlayStation2 version, use the following trick to kill without being caught. Use a motorcycle (recommended because you will not get hurt) or other vehicle and drive very fast towards a group of people. Then, press Triangle to bail. The vehicle should run over or hit a lot of people. You can then collect their weapons and cash.

Enable the "Weapons" code, ad get a large number of remote detonated grenades. Throw one into the middle of the street and wait for a car to drive over it. When it does, detonate the grenade and the car will do a flip or something else while exploding in flames. You can do this while at a mall or another area where there are big groups of people. Throw grenade into the middle of the group, then get to a safe distance and detonate them.

You must have first purchased the Hyman Condo or have the Vercetti Estate. Take the helicopter from one of those two places and take it to a skyscraper or tall building that you can land on. Next, use the sniper rifle or rocket launcher to shoot at vehicles on the ground. None of the police forces can get you from there, except the helicopters. Use a rocket launcher to take them down.

Easy rampage:
If you are doing a rampage that requires a certain number of vehicles to be destroyed and you are near somewhere with a large garage, go over to it. Open the garage and blow the cars up while they are still inside. Walk away so that the garage closes, then return and the cars will be in perfect shape again. Blow them up again, and repeat the process. This is very useful for the two RPG rampages near Sunshine Autos (on the airport roof and on the big ship); and the chaingun rampage (near Fort Baxter). Since Sunshine Autos has so many large garages, it is easy to fly over in a helicopter, get the rampage, then fly back to Sunshine Autos to do the trick.

To do a rampage mission without losing any of the guns, before starting it go to Escobar International Airport. Enter through the security checkpoint. All the guns will now be outside the airport. Do the rampage mission. You can also save after doing a rampage without taking your weapons back. The weapons will be there and will not disappear. You can also do all rampage missions by this procedure. Pick up the guns after doing all the rampages.

Easy car destruction in chase missions:
Attacking a target vehicle in a car chase is often not easy, particularly if you are required to destroy it. Anti-vehicle weapons do not arrive until later in the game, forcing you to make do with inefficient small arms. You can save themselves a lot of effort if they use a scooter or motocycle's unique shooting ability to attack escaping cars. Tommy Vercetti can shoot submachine guns straight ahead on any scooter or motorcycle. Simply follow a target vehicle and unload in its rear. Experience shows this tactic is much easier and quicker than trying to ram a vehicle or shoot it from the drive-by view, especially when using the HK MP5. Players may find the scooter particularly suited to this tactic, since it can weave and dodge obstacles more easily than any other two-wheeler, and without losing speed.

Better underwater view:
To see things more clearly underwater, steal a Caddy, such as the one in the bushes around the lighthouse. Enable the "Car floats on water" code. While driving on the water, look through the windshield and underwater objects will now be in clear view. This is useful when looking at the underwater life and objects such as the Russian submarine.

Clothing reactions:
Your clothing will result in different reactions during missions. For example, when you go to the Cubans for the first time, try wearing golf clothes. Your new contact will make fun of you, calling you a woman and you will make fun of him.

Same clothes:
Whenever you see Kent Paul, he will be wearing the same clothes as Tommy Vercetti, but with a different color shirt (red).

Save money with prostitutes:
Get a convertible or another open top car. Pick up a prostitute and drive directly to a bush, grass or trees. Your health will jump up and she will get out almost as soon as you stop, without all the car rocking. If you decide to watch the rocking car or cannot find a convertible, jump out as soon as your health reaches 125 (and save the final charge), or kill the prostitute to get your money back.

After using a prostitute, your health should be at 125 and she will soon exit your vehicle. When she does, use the drive-by view to the direction she is at and shoot her before she escapes. Then, exit the vehicle and get your money back.

Screaming prostitute:
Enable the "Car floats on water" code, then get a nice looking car. Pick up a prostitute and drive off onto the beach and into the water (watch for high waves). After you are far off from land, stop. She will do her thing and you will increase health. The poor girl will not be able to get out and will scream continuously until you finally drive her back to land.

Candy Suxxx fliers:
After completing the Dildo Dodo mission for Steve at InterGlobal Films studio, look at the flyers on the ground were you flew over. You should see some with a picture of Candy Suxxx and a title called "Bite". These are the flyers that you dropped from the plane.

Zombie Elvis newspaper headline:
Look closely at the newspapers to see a headline referring to a "Zombie Elvis Found" with a funny picture underneath.

Giant shark:
The giant shark from the InterGlobal Films studio can be seen in the water. You may need to complete all the missions for InterGlobal Films for it to appear. Since it moves around, there is no way of knowing where it can be found.

Run longer:
Tap X instead of holding it to make Tommy's stamina last longer.

Move faster:
In the PlayStation2 version, if Tommy's stamina runs out from running too long, repeatedly press Square instead. Hopping will still be faster than walking.

Dodge cars:
In the PlayStation2 version, when a car is driving directly at you, press Square when it gets close and Tommy will jump sideways, saving himself from being run over. For example, when the police are chasing you, they will try to hit to kill you. Press Square at the correct moment to save yourself from a collision.

Avoid getting busted:
In the PlayStation2 version, when pulling someone out of their car, immediately hold X and push the Left Analog-stick away from the car to avoid entering the vehicle. This is especially useful when cops are nearby to avoid getting busted. It can also be used if you want to beat someone up before stealing their car.

When you steal someone's car and you have a cop directly behind you, instead of accelerating forward press the Square + Left Analog Stick Right or D-pad Right if he in the driver's side door or Square + Left Analog-stick Left or D-pad Left. You will knock the cop down and successfully get away.

Avoid drowning in vehicle:
If your car flips over while in water, enable the "Health" code. Then, enable the "Rainy weather" code and the "Car floats on water" code (if not already enabled). Keep repeating the "Health" code in between and after these codes. Your car should eventually flip back over and float on the water. This technique requires speed and practice. Note if you are in a Rhino, your chances of flipping back of are small; and if you make it, the Rhino will fly and bounce in the air.

Restore health:
Go to your hideout and go to "Save". Either save or leave without saving and your health will be restored to full.

Free car repair:
Go into any garage and blow up your car. Run away quickly and make sure your garage door closes. Return, and your car will be new.

Free Pay 'N' Spray:
Immediately before you go in to a Pay 'N' Spray, enable the "Full health" code.

Decrease wanted level to zero:
Go to your hideout and go to "Save". Load the most recent save and your wanted level will drop to zero.

You can clear your wanted level by entering a RC Racer Competition. You do not have to complete the competition to clear your wanted level.

In the PlayStation2 version, if you have a wanted level of any kind, find an RC van (Top Fun). Go in and when you start that mission, press Circle to destroy your RC vehicle. You will no longer have any cops after you. You can do this as many times as desired.

Increase wanted level quickly:
Steal the Apache helicopter and fly towards one of the advertising airplanes that tow a banner. When you are close enough, shoot a missile at it. If you hit it, the plane will explode, giving you at least three stars. Do this about four times and you will have all six stars.

Depending on your game progress, you can go to the bank you held up and run up the stairs for an instant four stars wanted level.

To get a six star wanted level very quickly, go to the VCPD HQ that you broke Cameron out of. Kill all the police inside you will end up with six stars. Bcareful when you walk out. There will be a swarm of police and military outside.

Wanted level with police or FBI uniform:
Cycle through the "Pedestrian costume" code until you are wearing a police or FBI uniform. If you shoot a gun, you will automatically get a one star wanted level.

Drowned pedestrians:
Go to any dock with people on it while you are on a motorcycle and drive slowly on it. Some of the people (including cops) will dive in the water to avoid you, as they do on the street. Get off the bike and look down into the water without falling in. You can see their dead bodies floating in the water.

Go to a dock with people. Find a person and park so that he or she is between you and the water. They still have to be slightly front of you. Honk the horn and they may run into the water. If they do not -- try again. Then, other people will try to crowd around the body and keep running into the water.

Enable the "Car floats on water" code and get a gun that can do a drive by with. Drive near a boat and shoot it until it is up in flames. Wait until you hear it explode, then go over. You should see a dead person floating in the water. Run him or her over and they should sink if done at the correct moment and location on their corpse.

Pedestrian suicides:
Get in a helicopter and go under a bridge. Look up and you may see someone throwing themselves off it to their death.

Knock pedestrians down with fire hose:
In the PlayStation2 version, on the west island on the map, there is a VCFD fire truck near the fire station. Get into it and pull out of the fenced in area. Hold Circle to use the water gun. Aim it low at people to knock them over. If you are quick, you can get out and run over to them before they get up. While they are on the ground, you can kick them a few times to get their money (if they have any). This helps you avoid getting into fights with the pedestrians.

Blood splatter:
Kill someone with the chainsaw while you are running and blood will splatter on the screen.

Rainbows:
It is possible to see rainbows after a rain storm or thunder storm. Try looking near the Hyman Memorial Stadium, on the side where the helicopter pads are located.

Phone numbers:
The phone numbers in the game actually exist. For example, 1-866-434SELF (Think Your Way To Success), 1-866-9SAVEME (Pastor Richard's Salvation Statue), and 1-866-PILLAGE (Thor's Advice hotline). Note: Thor's does not really cost $175.

Abbreviations:
One of the radio stations features a man selling self help programs. One is called "Learn, Start, Do", short for LSD. Another is "Motivate, Demonstrate, then Motivate Again", short for MDMA or Ecstasy. Another is "Think, Hold that thought, Complete", short for THC, the chemical in marijuana.

Lance preview:
Start a new game. When the intermission sequence where Tommy makes the drug deal appears, look at the pilot. The pilot is Lance.

Grand Theft Auto 3 references:
There is an airplane with a banner on the back that flies around Vice City. When you fly a helicopter or a plane around it, or zoom in on it with a sniper rifle, you can see that it is an exact duplicate of the full-winged Dodo from Grand Theft Auto 3.

In a mission brief for Avery Brooks, you will meet Donald Love. Avery will give a lesson about real estate prices going down because of a good old fashioned gang war, or an outbreak of plague. In Grand Theft Auto 3, Donald Love says the same thing almost word for word.

In the last mission for Phil Cassidy, you see him blowing off his arm. During game play, Phil keeps hallucinating that he was in the jungle fighting. In Grand Theft Auto 3, he states that he lost it in Nicaragua, which is where he was hallucinating.

If you listen to KCHAT long enough, Amy will eventually bring on a guest, Gethsemanee, who is in a coven and talks about crystal balls among with other witch topics. During the interview, Amy will accept calls and a English man from Hampshire named Freddy, calls asking the lady, "Supposing I'd been a bad boy. Like if I hadn't learnt my spells or something. Would I, I get smacked with it?" He goes on to also say "But you must hit Freddy with your broom. Freddy has been very naughty and not learnt his spells. Hit me hairy legs, hit me! I deserve it!" This is the same man who calls up Chatterbox on Grand Theft Auto 3 asking for a nanny to spank him.

Phil Cassidy's refrigerator has a sticker that says "Get Away" with palm trees and a beach. The same poster is in Grand Theft Auto 3 in your first hideout on Portland island.

Listen to VROCK and you will eventually hear a commercial about Ammu-Nation having a blow-out sale. You will hear the man in the commercial say, "just like we kicked Australia's ass". Ironically, the same DJ for the same station, Lazlow, also does station called Chatterbox in Grand Theft Auto 3. If you listen to that station long enough, he will talk to a sergeant who talks about he was in the "Australian-Amercian War". Lazlow goes on, saying that he has never heard of it.

Many callers on K-Chat and VROCK are the same ones that called on Chatterbox. For example, when listening to K-Chat when Thor is on and they go to the callers, a man named T.J. that talks about him and some friends starting their own gang called "The Blood" will come on. His voice sounds very familiar to the man calling on Chatterbox, talking badly about the British and saying that football and hopscotch are "man-sports". Also, the man that called also during the Thor interview asking about his girlfriend and was told to behead her sounds like the man who says "Liberty City Cocks rule!".

On the VCPR radio station, a guest will eventually talk about why Vice City residents should not wear clothes. In Grand Theft Auto 3, the same man calls Chatterbox saying why it should be right to not wear clothes.

If you own Sunshine Autos, drive into the garage that you drop the cars off for the list. Get a sniper rifle and look at the computer in the garage. It says "Kruton 9000" on the screen. This is also on Joey's computer in his repair garage in Grand Theft Auto 3.

When you are driving around Escobar International Airport, one of the billboards reads, "Vacation In Liberty City".

On KCHAT while Amy is interviewing Claude Mageno, a man calls up and asks Claude a question. He he is Morgan Meriwell from Double Ceff FM in Liberty City. He sounds like him and says his name is Morgan.

Steal a Banshee and take it to a safe place, away from car thieves, Go to the back of your Banshee and use a sniper rifle to zoom in on the license plate. It reads "LEONY" which is a reference to Salvatore Leone, the Mafia Boss you worked for in Grand Theft Auto 3.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reference:
On the K-Chat radio station, when BJ Smith is the special guest, listen to the people that call the station to talk to him. There is one man that calls asking BJ how he played against the "SA's". The SA's refer to the football team in San Andreas.

The Getaway reference:
On the assassination mission Autocide, the two people in the truck are named Marcus Hammond and Franco Carter. The main characters of The Getaway are Frank Carter and Mark Hammond.

The Terminator reference:
Look closely at the "Exploder" billboard above the 24/7 store in Little Havana to see a scene from The Terminator, in which the Terminator robot descends from an explosion.

San Andreas reference:
Listen to the VCHAT radio station and you will hear a football player call in and say "Hey, I'm a first time calla". They will start talking about different football conversations. Listen for about one minute and you will hear the caller say something similar to "Well, we were beaten by San Andreas". In the original Grand Theft Auto, the cities were Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. This is a hint towards the location or title of the fifth game in the series.

Clearer graphics:
In the PlayStation2 version, pause game play and go to "Display", then select "Trails" and turn that option off. The game will be much clearer.

Start game faster:
After you see the PlayStation2 logo, wait till the next screen appears. Then, immediately press L2 + R2 to get to the startup screen.

Glitches

Fly under Vice City:
In the PlayStation2 version, get a helicopter (Hunter recommended), and go to the front of the WK Chariot Hotel in the Downtown area. This is the same hotel that was across from Candi Suxxx's and Shrub's love nest. It is marked "Vice Point Langer" on the front. Take your helicopter and fly it under the front awning. Basically, fly it directly up to the front door. Then, hold X and fly straight up. You will fly through a fake (non-solid) roof, and be inside the hotel. You can see the spiral stairwell that you have to run up to take the photos in the Martha's Mugshot mission from the outside. From there, fly downward and you are now under the game map and can go anywhere. Note: Do not fly too low or too high or you may appear above ground or end up dying in the water.

In the PlayStation2 version, go to your Mansion. If you have a Sea Sparrow get into it. If not, try the helicopter on the roof. From where the Sea Sparrow is located, turn around and go into the pool area in the mansion. When in the pool area, fly up through the roof. When you are completely above the ceiling of the pool area, fly north towards the black box/room. When you are over the brown underworld, press Square and go under the game world. You can then fly anywhere under the water.

Get a helicopter (Sea Sparrow recommended) and fly to Hyman Memorial Stadium. Go to the entrance to the stadium in the helicopter. Notice the balconies above the entrance. Go to the lowest balcony and fly towards the middle. Rise up and you will go through the ceiling. Then, turn sideways in the helicopter to drop yourself inside the stadium. Lower yourself so that you would be below ground level. Go to the left or the right out from under the stadium and look up. You are now underwater. Go straight and you will find yourself under the city. Feel free to explore everything underwater in your helicopter and under the city. Note: Explore the Ammu-Nation close to the stadium to see a picture.

Enable the "Dodo car" and "Car floats on water" codes. Get a Rhino tank (using a code if desired). Use the Right Analog-stick to aim the canon on the tank behind you. Drive the tank and shoot at the same time. When you see the tank start to float, pull the Left Analog-stick backwards while shooting. Shooting the cannon gives the tank enough force to stay in the air for a long time. Fly the tank to the striped building to the right of the Vercetti Estate mansion (on the side of the airport). Then, fly through the top of the building (where the roof should be). You will hit the floor and fall through into the Vice City underworld. You can now fly your tank under the entire island. If you want to resurface, fly up through the water in the ocean. You will not get hurt because of the "Car floats on water" code.

Go to the bridge that leads to the eastern island from Prawn Island in a helicopter. The smaller the helicopter, the better. Fly under that bridge, then face the eastern island and go up slightly. You will realize that you can go through it. Then, go forward towards the eastern island and squeeze through the small space. You will now be under the city. To exit this glitch, either get out of your helicopter or just fly very low.

Fall from water to sky:
Enable the "Dodo flying" and "Float on water" codes. Go into the water and drive around. Gain speed and fly into the air. Try to flip your vehicle upside down in the water. If done correctly, the car will sink and a clicking sound will start. You and the vehicle will drop out of the sky and land somewhere random in Vice City. Note: You may need to try this a few times with different cars. If it does not work immediately, you will die.

Enable the "Float on water" and "Perfect handling" codes. Find a Comet (recommended) or a Sabre Turbo. Drive the car out to a deep spot, to the point where you are floating over an underwater-rock formation. Back up slightly, drive forward, and press L3 until you are vertical. This may require a few attempts, and you may need to enable the "Full health" code. Your car will sink with you in it, but you will not get hurt. You will continue falling until you respawn to a random location. If you use the rock method, you can drive around on the rock; however if you attempt to go into the sand your car will begin to sink. You can also leave your car and walk on the rock. If you or your car leave the rock, you will sink and respawn at random, completely unharmed.

Walk underwater:
Enable the "Hilary costume" and "Sabre Turbo" codes. Enable the "Change wheel size" code two or more times. Note: This may also work with a Sabre Turbo from Sunshine Autos. Get in the car, and you will not die when you drive into the water. Once the car gets to the blue part on the bottom, it falls through and appears back on the street. Also, if the car stops while underwater (does not fall through), you can get out and walk around.

Get in the Sea Sparow behind the film studio on Prawn Island. Do a back flip into the water and get out of the plane. Get back in and try flipping it over to its other side. If done correctly, you will be underwater without losing any health. You can get out and walk around. Note: There is a sunken boat located under the bridge by the film studio, near the far side of the bridge.

Travel underwater:
In the PlayStation2 version, get a Sabre Turbo, and enable the "Floating car" and "Dodo car (flying)" codes. Get into the ocean and gain some speed. Fly straight up, then immediately straight down so the nose of your car hits the water in a vertical position. You must hold X the entire time until you are underwater. You can hold Square underwater to tread water. You will travel straight down underwater for approximately thirteen seconds. You will then emerge with one wanted level or more and your vehicle damaged, on a nearby location on land.

Get a Comet and enable the "Floating car" code. Go in the water and flip the Comet near one of the big rocks. You can drive on them, then slowly drive off and it will go down. Hold down the gas, and after a short time you will be placed on land, with a lot of dirt in the air.

Enable the "Change wheel size'' code three times. Get a Banshee or Stinger. Those two cars get heavier and more powerful. Drive to a water source and go in. You can then get out of your car and take no health or armor damage. However, to exit the water source you must be in your car or halfway back to dry land or you will start drowning. It is now safe to go back in the water.

Invisible water:
Get a Tropic (boat). One can be found near the back of Links View Apartments. Drive to open ocean and look through in first person view at the ocean. Look through the glass to see that there is no water and you can see straight to the bottom. This is useful when trying to see the shark and various wrecks such as the submarine and the cargo freighters.

Drive through windows:
Get a car and drive to the blue building beside the road that leads to Starfish Island. Drive up the steps to any floor. Drive up to a window. If you hit, you are in the wrong location. You can drive through the window onto the ledge and pull off some insane jumps. If you cannot find the window you can pass through, go outside and find where the building is damaged, then return and go out there.

Drive motorcycle underground:
Get a motorcycle and go south of Little Havana. Immediately before you get to first big blue and white boat, look to your right .You will see a long, short white building with a green roof. On one side of it is a rail .Run directly into the front of it with a little speed. You and your bike should appear to fall under Vice City. After a few seconds you should appear back in the middle of the road. You can repeat this as many times as desired.

Walk inside a bridge:
Go to the film studio on Prawn Island and take the Skimmer (seaplane). Go beneath the bridge to the right and stop under the lowest part of it. Get out of the plane and you will be inside the bridge. Sometimes you can even walk around, but will fall through the ground and end up back on the streets.

Kill people through window:
Enter a building that has windows. You can kill people outside throw the windows by using a flamethrower.

Knockout instead of kill:
If you shoot one of the people around your mansion and other important properties in the head, it will only knock them out for a moment.

Invisible hostage:
Get a hostage in your car. If you get out, run around to the passenger's side and throw him or her out. He will just sit there. When you get in the car, you will hear screams as though you have a hostage. As you pull away the screams will fade. The person will not move from where they are unless you lose the car.

See through any solid object:
Get a rocket launcher and walk up to any building. When Tommy touches wall, press the Analog-stick just enough so that he turns around. Hold R1 and turn back towards the wall to see through it.

Change size of the moon:
Use the sniper rifle at night, zoom in on the moon, then shoot it. It will get bigger or smaller.

Change size of garbage bags:
Get a sniper rifle and zoom in on a group of two garbage bags. Start shooting at them to make one very big and the other very small.

Lose extra health from prostitute:
If you use a prostitute to get your health above 100 and go to a save point, your health will drop back to 100 when you exit the save point.

Lose extra health with a prostitute:
After you complete the Pizza Boy mission and get 150 health, if you pick up a prostitute, your health will drop to 125 immediately. Thus, after the Pizza Boy missions, there is no longer a point of getting a prostitute for health gain.

Prostitute follows you:
Get a fast, expensive sports car (Cheetah, Infernus, etc.) at night. Pick up a prostitute from anywhere. Make sure that she approaches the driver's side of the car. When she gets to about the middle of the front or the back of the car, get out. Wherever she is at, she should run directly to you. She should follow you everywhere you go on foot and in the car. She will not get in the car, but she will run behind. Also, she will stay along with you the entire day, and will not disappear as usual when the sun rises. You can get as many prostitutes to follow you as desired.

Stand on car in mid-air:
When you go over a ramp or jump, open your car door in mid-air. You will get out and will be standing on the car while it is floating in mid-air.

This can also be done by driving off a bridge and bailing out in mid-air.

Sink through a car:
Get a Packer, and drive a motorcycle on top of it. Exit the motorcycle and you will sink through the packer as if it was not there. You will then pop up next to it.

Vehicles disappearing from garage:
Vehicles stored in the garages at the Hyman Condo complex can disappear from them if you take the helicopter on the roof and return later.

Store more than two cars or motorcycles in garage:
When you have two cars or motorcycles in your garage at your safe house, you usually will not be able to store any vehicles inside. To get around this, get off the car or motorcycle in front of the full garage. The garage will open. Get on your motorcycle or into your car quickly and drive it into the garage before the door closes.

Buy a house with a garage, then get a car. Put the car in the garage doorway, and make sure there is more room for the other cars. Get out of the car, with it still in the doorway. The garage door will remain open. You can now fit a few motorcycles or another car in the garage. Then, move the car that is in the doorway out of the way.

Get more than two motorcycles into a single garage:
Get a motorcycle and drive it to a garage with two other motorcycles. Drive your motorcycle to the garage and get off to open the garage door. Then, get back on and drive it in before the garage door has a chance to shut. When you save the game, the third motorcycle will remain in the garage.

Save in a vehicle:
In the PlayStation2 version, go to any save icon and park a vehicle so when you get out, it will save. Cancel the save then press Triangle to get in. The game will save while you are in the vehicle.

Warning: This may freeze your game or cause it not to load.

Re-appearing cars:
If you have any vehicles in a garage, you can blow it up into scrap metal. If the metal is in the garage, make the garage door close. Once you have it open again, the car that was destroyed will appear again, while the scrap metal of the car that was destroyed is still there.

Slower cars with faster speed:
Get a slow car (Washington, Glendale, etc.) and shoot the tires out on it. Then, shoot the windshield out and get in the car. Hold the hand brake and the gas at the same time for about five to ten seconds then release the hand brake. At first you will slide all over the street and sparks will be flying everywhere. Hold the car going through turns and try to keep it straight to get faster speed than before.

Cheaper Pay N' Spray:
In the PlayStation2 version, pull into the Pay N' Spray garage. Hold the brakes when pressing Triangle and get out of the garage. Repeat this for however many cars you can fit into the Pay N' Spray. You will be charged for only one paint job although more than one vehicle was painted.

Drive a flaming ambulance into a Pay N' Spray, get out, and destroy it. While it is in there and before it disappears, drive another car of any type into the Pay N' Spray. You will get a free pain job, but the car will disappear.

Car drives itself:
Drive fast towards a Pay N' Spray and bail out, making the car roll in by itself. Get another car and park it where the door closes. Get in the car that you rolled into the garage. The door will try to close on the car in the doorway, but cannot. Instead, it will shoot out the car that was in the way at a tremendous speed out of the garage while the car you are in gets sprayed.

Get a baseball bat, then get any car that has a passenger seat (Caddy recommended). If you have a car with a door, use the bat to break it off, or lose the door any way desired. When the doors are off, drive along the road and get someone to steal your car through the passenger side. Just as they get into the car, drive away. You should stay in the car and the thief will drive around Vice City with you inside. Note: You will be in the driver's seat but will be invisible. Press Triangle to get out when desired and the car will stop slowly.

Never fall off motorcycle:
In the PlayStation2 version, take a PCG 600 to a clothes shop. The easiest one is "Collar And Cuffs" with the "Mr. Vercetti" outfit. Get off the motorcycle, and get the outfit. Once it is gone, place the motorcycle parallel to the edge of the small steps, so that the clothes still respawn. Once you do this, get on the motorcycle at the exact moment when you buy the clothes. You will be stuck the motorcycle as though the game merged you into it. This now allows you to drive around safely without worry of falling off. Also, it lets you use an assault riffle as a drive-by weapon. However, once you fire the gun, the bike will return to normal, allowing you to fall off again and disabling the gun. However, as long as you hold Circle, you will still shoot assault rifle. This glitch can also be done with other motorcycles.

In the PlayStation2 version, in order to do this glitch, you need to be in a point in the game where your cell phone is ringing. Also, you will need any motorcycle. Go to Rafael's and get off your bike. If your cell phone is ringing, hold L1. While holding L1, walk over and get the clothes icon, then get back on the bike. You must hold L1 the entire time. Drive off and release L1. The screen should turn black, and you will then should be standing up, as if you were not on the bike. You can pull wheelies all the way back and not fall off. You can also do a lot insane stunt bonuses that you otherwise would be incapable of doing. While on the motorcycle, switch to grenades or molotov cocktails to throw them off. Note: The cocktails will heavily damage your bike. This trick also works in cars, and you can see Tommy's legs appearing from the bottom.

Haunted motorcycle:
Have someone as a passenger on your motorcycle. Drive up north to Hyman Memorial Stadium. As you are facing the stadium from the adjacent street, turn left on the first street that loops around and drive through the grass. Go through the two palm trees all the way to the last telephone pole. Turn to the right and you will see the ocean. As you look to the ground, you can see a ledge of land underneath the layer of water. Ride the bike over to the ledge, trying not to fall into the ocean. You will notice that your life will begin to drain. Be careful not to go in too deep. As soon as you hear your passenger moan, get out. You will notice a pile of blood underneath. If you are lucky, you might get a trail of blood every time you accelerate. If you get off, the passenger will still be on the bike. After a while he/she will disappear. You will notice that if you accelerate and try to jump off the bike, it will just brake. Also, notice the person shows up with some camera angles. If you walk to the back of your bike, a trail of bloody footprints will be left behind as you go forward. Note: This was done with an Angel and a bodyguard (Tommy's henchman in a blue shirt) that you can get completing the game 100%.

Find a motorcycle with two people and knock them both off. Get on the bike, allow the previous passenger to board, and ditch the previous driver. Drive the bike with passenger to the beach. Back up right to the coastline. With the back of the bike facing the water, slowly back the bike into the water. At some depth, the water causes damage to you, and your passenger will die. You can then drive out clean, but you may notice some strange resistance and/or bumping. This is because the passenger's body is trapped inside the bike. In some cases, the passenger disappears and reappears from behind you. The bike will continuously have bloody wheels. You can now drive the bike wherever desired, leaving a trail of bloody tracks. If you get off the bike and remount it, the passenger will still be inside. If you bail, in some cases the passenger will not fall off the back (which means the bike never lands on its side). However, in some cases he does, which causes his bloody corpse to smack the ground, along with any money or items he may have been carrying. While riding the haunted bike you cannot do the jump-bail off the back. Also, you can combine this code with the "Never fall off motorcycle" glitch, if you perform this one first.

Woman stuck in motorcycle:
Enable the "Tommy Groupies" code and get any motorcycle (Sanchez recommended). Get a lot of women to follow you. Run over a few, but do not kill them. When they try to get back up, one should get stuck in a wheel. Note: You can do wheelies and stoppies and she still will not fall off. The only way she will fall off the wheel is if you crash.

Motorcycle as sniper platform:
Drive a motorcycle along the road that Sunshine Autos is on. Drive sideways up the hill across from Sunshine Autos, and while the motorcycle is sideways in the air, get off. Your motorcycle will usually freeze in midair, and if you are lucky, you will be on top of it and can use it as a sniper platform. If a policeman comes under you, shoot the motorcycle to make it fall on him and he will occasionally be decapitated.

Morph into car:
The effect of this glitch is similar to the "Never fall off motorcycle" glitch, except with a hoodless car. Find a hoodless car and park it near the clothes. Get it near your door. When you get out, you will automatically change clothes. Get back and wait for a response, then go on the driver's side (make sure you closed the door) by the back of the car and press Triangle. Tommy will jump into the car and change clothes at the same time. You will be morphed into the car. The only cars that this will work on are the Comet, Stallion (hoodless), and Stinger. Your feet will appear under the car. Also, it is easier to park the car so that the clothes are actually touching you when you in the car. Then, get out, auto change, and when it reappears, go back in. When you press Forward + Up or some buttons, you will teleport and return to where you were. If you morphed into the car and get out, aim with the rocket launcher. You will zoom in and out and move around.

Take the helicopter from the Hyman Condo and fly to the clothes icon. Fly it so you have three quarters of icon in by joystick. Get out and make sure you leave the door open. As soon as you start entering, press X. You should leave the door open and start flying up. If done correctly, you should see Tommy's legs sticking out of the helicopter.

Vehicle stuck in a telephone pole:
Enable the "Change wheel size" code three times and get a Saber Turbo. Gain speed and drive into a wooden telephone pole. You should get stuck and get a new car.

Get a Rhino, turn the barrel 180 degrees, and shoot while driving to go faster. Drive into one of the brown telephone poles that cannot be knocked down. You will occasionally get stuck with the pole through the middle of the tank. Your health will drain until you die, unless you can get out.

Extreme exhaust special effect:
Go to Little Havana and get a Cuban Hermes. Take that car and drive it so it is on the wrong side of the highway in Little Havana, facing the Downtown area. Accelerate at full throttle so that you fly into downtown on two or four wheels (depending on how fast you are going). Go straight so that you are facing Ammunation. There is a huge set of staircases on your right. Drive on to the stairs carefully, but not releasing X the entire time. Release X when you are three quarters of the way up. Then, once in the air, press then tap X (air revving). You should see flames coming out of the exhaust pipes until you land on the surface ahead. Note: You may want to practice with a car that has less slippery handling before attempting this jump.

Free money in taxi without a passenger:
When you start the taxi mission, try to pick up a person next a police officer and get one star. Stop next the police officer and make sure he approaches your car from the passenger side (where the person you picked up should be sitting). As soon the cop opens the door, speed away. The cop will pull out your passenger, but the game will think that he is still in the taxi. Upon arrival at the location which the passenger specified, you will be awarded money, as if he was still in the car.

Partially destructible taxi:
Fail a mission by getting wasted to resume at a hospital. A taxi will be waiting outside to pick you up. Do not go in it. Instead, jack a car, then ram the cab on the right side. Notice that this side is indestructible. However, the left side can be destroyed.

Sit in taxi with no driver:
Get wasted during a mission. You will end up at a hospital. Near the hospital, you should find a taxi with a pink arrow pointing down at it. Get a flamethrower (use the "Weapons tier 1" code if needed). Get beside the taxi and flame it. Immediately when you flame the taxi, get in it. The driver should get out screaming, and you will be stuck in the back seat (or passenger seat) with no driver in front. At this point, all you can do is turn the taxi missions on and off and get an extra passenger in the passenger seat.

Angry SUVs:
Ride a PCJ600 and get behind three SUVs and a Stinger stuck at a red light. Shoot the Stinger to make it drive into the back SUV, then shoot it again until it is on fire. Drive quickly to a place where you can view the havoc from a distance. When the Stinger explodes, the SUVs will not explode as they should. However, they will turn and circle you, trying to kill you. Some might disappear, but they never all leave.

Coach bumper shed:
Buy the Hyman Condo then steal a Coach. Bring the Coach to Hyman Condos and put it in a garage at an angle. Leave the garage and repeatedly reopen and shut the door. The back bumper of the Coach will keep falling off.

Infernus engine smoke:
When you are in the Infernus and get the engine to start smoking, the car will smoke from the front. However, its engine is in the back and the trunk is up front.

Zebra taxi damage immunity:
For some reason, the entire Zebra taxi can appear damaged except for the passenger side. The two doors on the passenger side cannot get scratched or removed, other than when the entire vehicle explodes.

Wrecked flying helicopter:
In the PlayStation2 version, ,get three or more stars on your wanted meter and have a rocket launcher ready. When the police helicopter appears, hit it with a rocket. Immediately enable the "Lower wanted level" code, but do not press Down to complete the cheat until after you here the helicopter explode. Once you hear it explode, press Down to complete the code. Look up in the sky to see the destroyed helicopter flying away.

Wildly spinning helicopter:
Get the V.C.N. chopper at the V.C.N. building at the Downtown area. Enable the "Cars float on water" code. Go to any deep part of the ocean then fly as high as possible. Make sure you do not have any objects surrounding you for about 100 feet, then press nothing except the Left Analog-stick all the way Back or Forward. You should plummet into the water upside-down, then quickly pop back up spinning and twirling in the air uncontrollably. If you want to stop, the next time you pop up on the surface, hold X. Note: This may require several attempts.

Boat with wheels:
Get a boat and drive it very fast on the coast and to land on the ground. Push it with a car to make it move. It will move easier when pushed from the back. To turn it, run into its sides. Enable the "Health" code to prevent it from exploding, as pushing will damage it severely. Push it into a Pay 'N' Spray and it will have wheels after the doors open again.

Drive boat upside down:
When your are walking near the Malibu Club, on the other side of the river is a boat. Enable the "Better driving skills" code and get the boat. Try to flip the boat by hitting the dock. You will flip and be able to drive upside down. The steering controls will be reversed. To get out, go near the dock and press Triangle. You will appear on the top of the boat. Jump on the dock or any other place of land.

Floating signs:
When you destroy the Dodo plane, the sign that it tows around will keep floating. There are only two ways you can blow it up; either with the Sea Sparrow or Hunter helicopter. Get behind the Dodo (but not too close to avoid getting damaged), then start firing at it. As soon as it explodes, you will see the banner start floating around.

Floating people:
Go to the Starfish Island mansion and go to the jetty. Enable in "Weapons (tier 2)" code. Slash someone with your katana. If they are afraid to fight, they will more then likely jump in to the water and kill themselves. Take out the grenades than lob one so that it goes under the dead person and detonates. When you have done this, the person will be floating in the air. Note: This may require a few attempts. You cannot take too long to do this, or the person will disappear.

During the mission where you have to fly the mini-planes with bombs on the bottom in the Cuban boats, get to where the boats are located. You will a Cuban sitting on the steps. Roll backwards down the hill to push him. Push him away from the steps and he will remaining sitting in mid-air.

Play the Haitian Gang mission where you have to fly the remote control airplanes to the Cubans and sink their boats. Before you do this, go to the Cuban sitting on the steps near the boats. Accelerate the plane forward so you push him away from the steps. He should be still sitting, but not on anything. You do this with others in town (for example, a pedestrian sitting on a bench).

Shoot people in the air:
Get a fire truck and run over two people. Make sure there are no cops around. When the ambulance arrives and the paramedics start to do CPR, press the Circle and aim the water at them. You should push them away. Wait a few seconds and they should pop high into the air and fall back down alive.

Floating car:
Go to the parking garage next to the mall and find an Infernus. They are usually very abundant in the garage. Drive up to the very top level. There is a ramp placed on the northwest corner of the roof that you can ramp off of. Immediately before you hit the ramp after gaining an exceptional amount of speed, veer to the left. Your vehicle should flip sideways while flying through the air (the driver's side facing up). Immediately when this happens, bail out of the vehicle. By doing so, the car will stop in mid air and you will be standing on top of it. You do not have to perform it with the Infernus, but, due to that car's speed and shape, it is the most effective. If you bail out of the car and did not do it correctly, you will likely to take a considerable amount of damage due to the fall.

Disappearing cashier:
Go to the North Point Mall. Then, go over to one of the restaurants in the mall. This trick requires a gun that can automatically aim. Aim your gun at the cashier, which will make him raise his hands. Stop aiming at him, then aim at him again. This will force him to take a step back. Repeat this until the cashier backs up so far that he will fall through the floor and disappear.

Headless driver:
Find a Ruger or a Sniper. Look for any car, get in front of it, and make it stop. Make sure only one person is inside the car. Shoot the person in the head and run quickly to the driver's side door. Use the rear view (L1 + R1) and move the car slightly. Watch as the headless driver walks to you.

Go up to a stopped car (mostly at a red light), Take out a machine gun, aim, and shoot the driver's head off. Quickly enter the car through the passenger's side. When you are in the driver side, drive off. The "headless" driver will still be standing, but then fall on the ground.

Free stripper at Pole Position:
To get a free dance, go into the room where you have to press X to exit. Hold X the entire time and you will not pay the stripper.

Note: You cannot change camera angles with this in effect.

Phil Cassidy's missing arm:
During the first intermission sequence in the Boomshine Saigon mission, Phil gets one of his arms blown off by the bomb he placed on the boomshine barrels. Continue the mission and get Phil to the doctor. Watch as he gets out of the car. The arm that he blew off is now switched with his other arm.

Regenerating people:
To see people appear out of the middle of nowhere, aim the sniper rifle in the distance at a sidewalk or a road. People will just appear and walk around.

Shoot manual aim weapons with the auto aim system:
It is highly recommended that you earn the fire-proof ability, as you will be catching yourself on fire in order to do this glitch. Get Molotov Cocktails from Downtown. Equip the Molotov Cocktail on a busy street then step away from pedestrians and catch yourself on fire. While on fire, switch to an M4, M60, or Ruger and try using the targeting system. You will notice that instead of manual aiming with the white crosshairs, Tommy will use the auto-aiming system, as with the regular guns such as the pistol, sub-machine guns, etc. Do this to make your aiming a lot easier. You can switch the auto-aiming crosshair to different targets by holding L2 or R2. Also, you really never get to see the M4, M60, or Ruger in action but will have a new angle. You can shoot heavy guns and get a good look at them. When you release the button to target the effect wears off and you must catch yourself on fire again. One recommended place to witness these weapons at the new angle is at the El Corrupto Banco in Little Havana. Step behind the counter, catch yourself on fire, equip the desired weapon, then wait for pedestrians or cops to spawn.

Unlimited ammunition:
If you keep getting the same amount of weapons repeatedly and get the amount of ammunition over a certain number, the game will not be able to display that high amount causes it to give you unlimited ammunition. Here are the limits for the guns/explosives.

Unlimited Colt .45 ammunition:
If you have a Colt .45 in your weapon slot and complete The Shootist mission with a score of 70 or more, it will have unlimited ammunition.

Floating road blocks:
Go into an alley that has orange road blocks. Start shooting them and moving them around. Walk a few blocks away and when you return they should be floating in the air.

Taxi driver pickup:
In the PlayStation2 version, steal any taxi cab and immediately press R3 to start a taxi mission. The person you are supposed to pick up is often the taxi cab driver you just pulled out.

Dive a blown up car:
Go to the driver side of a car and pull the person out. While you are pulling him out, start the "Destroy all cars" code until you get to the last L2. When you start to shut the door, press L1 to finish the code. If done correctly, you can drive what appears to be a wrecked car.

No stars for police collision:
Normally, if you hit a cop car while driving your wanted level will increase. However, if you are driving and hit the cop head-on, there are no repercussions (no wanted level increase, no cops chasing you around, etc.) This may be helpful in missions that are time-sensitive if you can make sure to hit the cops head-on.

No stars for shooting police cars:
Find a cop car and stop it, either by standing in front of it or putting a car in its way. Shoot out the cop car's tires or any car tires around you. The police will not take any action.

No stars for killing:
Practice flying any helicopter and when you are comfortable controlling it, take it to a spot with a lot of people, such as any part of the beach on the eastern island. Rest the helicopter on the ground without getting out and tilt it left or right so that the blades are spinning closer to the ground and chop up the pedestrians. Kill as many pedestrians or cops as desired. On the beach near the lighthouse is a rampage where you must run over 20 or 30 gang members. You can use a helicopter and chop them up and the game will still count them as kills.

Mid-air skid marks:
Get a motorcycle (PCJ 600 recommended) and find a Packer driving down the road. Stay directly behind its ramp, just keeping up with it. Suddenly, hit the gas but do not launch off the top of the Packer -- just roll back down the ramp in reverse to see your skid mark floating in the air.

Get a Packer and park a car on top of it. Drive the Packer in reverse so that the car falls off the top of it. The car will leave a big skid mark hanging in the middle of the air.

Water skid marks:
Enable the "Car floats on water" code, then take the bus out on the water. Drive at top speed, hit the brakes, and look at the water behind the bus.

Climb a tree:
Go to where a beach or a body of water is located. There should be some palm trees nearby. Find one that is bent (or curved) and try to climb it. Note: Do not run up the tree or you will fall in -- walk slowly. When you get close to the top, slow down. If you continue walking, you will fall.

Aim with cell phone:
In the PlayStation2 version, when the phone is ringing, equip yourself with any kind of auto-aiming weapon (such as a pistol). Press R1 to aim it at a random pedestrian. While still holding R1, press L1 to answer the phone. Tommy will continue to aim in the same spot, though now he is using the cell phone instead of the gun. You may release R1 and he will continue to aim at the same spot, even if the pedestrian moves. Note: Depending on how you move, he may switch between holding the phone to his ear, and pointing it at the blank spot that the pedestrian used to occupy.

Shoot yourself:
In the PlayStation2 version, get a semi-automatic weapon (Uzi recommended) on an Angel or a Freeway. Look left and press Square to reverse and Circle to shoot. You will appear to be shooting yourself.

In the PlayStation2 version, this trick requires a Colt .45 (a regular handgun). Stand still, then fire. When he raises his arm to fire, rotate the Left Analog-stick. If done correctly, he should shoot himself. No damage is taken though. This may take a few attempts.

Get a PCJ and go to an open area so that you can turn around. Get any submachine gun you can do a drive-by with. Get on the PCJ and go in reverse. Turn to the right and look left. Your gun should be under Tommy's stomach. Press Circle to shoot. Tommy willl shoot himself. Note: This will deduct health.

Kick or punch through glass:
Enter a fast food restaurant with a wanted level. The cops might try to shoot you through the window. Jump up on a table and stand in front of the glass window. You can kick and punch them through the glass if they are standing close enough.

Die without "Wasted" message:
In the PlayStation2 version, drive the remote controlled AI plane right next to the car and press Circle. The plane will blow up and the car will light on fire. When it goes back to its normal mode, it will not give you a chance to quickly get out and away from the car. It will start you back in front of the hospital. A white screen to show you have been blown up and you have died will appear, but it will not show the word "Wasted" on your screen at any time.

Weapon stuck on detonator:
After you get a 100% completion, the game awards you with unlimited ammunition, among other things. This causes a glitch if you get the bombs from Phil's Place or the car bomb from 8 Ball's. The weapon selector gets stuck on the detonator. Do not use these weapons after you get a 100% rating.

Talk to weapon:
If you do not have any weapons and someone calls, pick it up. Then, enter a weapon code. After it is active, Tommy will have a sword, pistol, or some other weapon and will be talking to it instead of the phone.

Fall off the world:
Get on a bike and ride it fast towards a clothes store. Jump off, and it will stop just inside the doorway. Run inside and jump on the bike, then onto the door. Jump in any direction and you will fall or float depending on which direction you go. You will then land back outside the store.

Double Tommy image:
In the PlayStation2 version, get any driveable vehicle such as a car or bike. Then, go to Kaufman Cabs before that business has been bought. Take the car and drive it to the green arrow. Place it at an angle so that when you get in, the "Do you want to purchase property? Press L1" message will appear. When you are halfway in the car, press L1.When the intermission sequence appears, you will see Tommy in the car. Note: This works if you are using a bike, because you can see the image of him better. It is possible to get a helicopter, Rhino, or Hunter in the intermission sequence. Also, enable the "Invisible cars" code to get a better view of him when in the vehicle.

Downtown: Invisible ground above Hyman Memorial Stadium:
Drive a Rhino and get about five stars on your wanted meter so that the FBI is chasing you. Enable the "Dodo (flying) car" code and turn the turret of the Rhino so that it is pointing backwards. Keep firing it to gain a lot of speed and begin to fly. Keep firing it and fly around to the stadium. You will need a good amount of altitude when flying over the stadium. If you have a five star wanted level, you should see some FBI Ranchers that seem to be driving on nothing. That is the invisible ground. You will have to drop down onto it from the top, then enable the "Lower wanted level" code to get rid of the FBI. By the sounds that the invisible ground makes and its width, it appears to be the terrain used for the HotRing without all of the textures.

Downtown: Fall through world:
While on a motorcycle do jumps at the dirt bike course. If you go behind the course and keep riding, you will eventually come out under a bridge. Speed up rapidly. Turn to the right or you will smash into a wall and fly into the ocean and die. Because of the extreme acceleration, you will not be able to turn in time. You will smash to the side of the wall after the two girders which hold up the bridge. Sparks will fly and the world as you see it will be inverted. Your bike suddenly disappears and you will fall down into blue hell. Tommy will flop around as if falling into the ocean and the screen will shake rapidly. You suddenly find yourself on the road next to the bridge with your bike a close distance away. This can also happen behind the arena. There is a large parking lot behind the arena. There are many curves because it goes around the entire building. Accelerate on your bike and repeat the stunt. Only try to turn where there is a sharp curve. The same thing should happen as with the bridge.

Drive to the right of the Hyman Memorial Stadium and into the parking lot. You must have a small car and enable the "Car floats on water" code. As you drive, count the arrows. When you get the eighth arrow, turn right. If you are at the correct location, you will have turned north. Drive to the wall. The wall is transparent and your car will fall through it. Then, turn around and drive directly into it. Keep driving and you will hit a spot where you will begin falling through the water. You will fall through and appear back in front of the stadium.

Take a Reefer boat to the wall where you can fall through the world at Hyman Stadium and drive through it. The boat will get stuck. Press Triangle, go to the end of the boat, and jump off. You will pop through the concrete and lose five health points.

Go up to the north side of Hyman Memorial Stadium in a small boat. Pass the helipad and drive the boat along the half-walls by the stadium. Slowly bump into the walls. You will eventually hit a wall that you can sink through. Drive farther and you will fall through the world and appear in front of the stadium.

Downtown: Walk through wall:
Starting at the Hyman condo, turn in the direction of the stadium. Instead of going straight, turn left. Keep going and you should pass Schuman Health Care Center. Shortly down the road (still going straight), there will be a black driveway going up slightly. Just before that is a small tan road. Turn on this and move a very small distance. To your left, you will see a black platform with a door on it. Go onto the platform. You can go through the corner of this platform. The building that you just entered is the health care center that you passed earlier.

Downtown: Drive through wall:
In the parking lot at Hyman Memorial Stadium is a wall that you can go through. It is one of the half walls that are supposed to stop you from going into the wall. If you follow the arrows, its one of the last roads.

Downtown: Enter the hospital:
Get a motorcycle and go to Downtown. Go the building with the long staircase that has a rampage at the top. Go back down the stairs and go to the police station to get a good run at the stairs. Hit the stairs as fast as possible. If done fast enough, you will fly over to the next building. Once there, turn around and go to the right where there is a ledge and some vents. Turn around and go to the other end of the building. Then, return to the ledge as fast as possible and hit the vent. You will fly to another building. Keep driving and you will fall off to a circular edge. Drive straight off the edge onto the balcony of the hospital. if done correctly, you will be inside the building. To leave the hospital, drive through the wall to the outside again.

Downtown: Spawn at Hyman Memorial Stadium instead of the hospital:
Enable the "Weapons tier 2" code and enter the stadium. Fail the Bloodring race intentionally and leave. Walk down street to the intersection where you can turn around and see the stadium, look ahead to see your condo, or look to the right to see the hospital. Equip the rocket launcher, go up to traffic, and blow up a car directly next to you. It will kill you, and instead of appearing at the hospital with no weapons, you should respawn at the stadium with all your weapons.

Downtown: Ghost car in Hotring arena:
When you are in the Hotring arena, get out of your car with a sniper rifle or another weapon that uses the manual targeting system. Try to shoot of the head of another Hotring race driver. He should fall out. If you leave the car sitting by itself for awhile, it will start to drive around by itself, and even try to blow itself up. After the driver is dead and has fallen out, get in the car. For about five seconds you can drive normally in his car. After that, you will have almost no control over the car (gas, brakes, etc.), except for changing views. If you wait long enough, the car will eventually catch fire by itself, or after it rams other cars or the walls. The flames also cannot be put out by use of the "Restore health" code. Note: Do not close the car door after the driver has fallen out or it will lock and not be able to re-opened.

Downtown: 0:00 winning time at Dirt Ring:
Get a Sanchez. Wait for the Dirt Ring at Hyman Memorial Stadium. When the time comes, park your Sanchez next to the door. Go inside. When the screen starts to fade, get on your bike and accelerate. Wait for the start and do not get on the other bike (it starts the timer). Get the checkpoints with your "outside" Sanchez. When you have collected the checkpoints, go on the other bike. You should have won $50,000$ with a time of 0:00.

Escobar International Airport: Get weapons inside:
Go through the metal detector at the airport and your weapons will be removed. Keep running at the glass where your weapons are located and you can actually get some of them back while inside the airport.

Escobar International Airport: Teleport to underpass:
In the PlayStation2 version, ride a fast motorcycle (PCJ 600 recommended) to Escobar International Airport. Find a parked jet in one of the hangars (near the airstrip). Gain speed, then ride through the wing of the jet. You will crash, but you will appear on the underpass outside the airport with your feet sunk in the road. To escape, press Square. You will appear on the underpass, but the motorcycle will still be on the jet.

Escobar International Airport: Grand Theft Auto 3 fire department logo:
Go to the part of the airport across from Fort Baxter. Go to the two garages with the signs that read "Don't even think of parking here". Look up and you will see the same logo as found in Grand Theft Auto 3, which reads "LCFD" instead of "VCFD".

Leaf Links: Jack Caddy through gate:
In the PlayStation2 version, when you go to Leaf Links Golf Course's front gates, wait until a Caddy comes up to the gate. They try to go through the gate all thetime. When they turn their golf carts around so you are looking at one side of the Caddy, walk up to the gate and press Triangle. You will step through the gate and jack the Caddy.

Leaf Links: Become a pedestrian:
In the PlayStation2 version, go to the Leaf Links Golf Club. When you see a Caddy, steal it. Stay near the person that you stole it from. Usually, they will try to steal it back from you. Make sure they are closer to the passenger side of the Caddy when you do this. As they are walking towards you to try to steal it back, get ready to hit the gas. As they are getting back in the Caddy, floor it. Instead of kicking you out of the Caddy, they will take your place and your body will disappear. The camera will stay on the Caddy, but you will be gone and the pedestrian takes your place. Stop accelerating and the camera will follow the pedestrian around. The only thing you can do at this point is change the radio stations and look around with L2 and R2. This very difficult to do and requires some practice.

Leaf Links: Enter through fence:
Go to Leaf Links. Go to the right side gate. On the right hand side of the gate is a bridge leading to the pizza place. If you go to the right of the gate where the brown pillar is located, you should see a fence and a ledge. Jump on the ledge and you should fall through. You are now in Leaf Link. If you need to get out, go along the south wall. Keep going to you see the bridge that connects to the other half of the course and jump out.

Little Havana: Helicopter with wheels:
After acquiring Sunshine Autos, get a Sparrow. Fly it to Sunshine Autos and set it down just outside the Pay 'N' Spray in back, If you are confident in your flying abilities, attempt to fly it into the spray area. If not, turn it around so that the cockpit is facing the four garages and push it inside. Once it is in there, get inside. After it is sprayed, fly it out of the garage and you will have a helicopter with wheels.

Note: After getting a helicopter with wheels, enable the "Cars float on water" code. You can now land on the water with your helicopter.

Little Havana: Shoot through glass wall:
Get a gun that will visibly go through the glass wall when you fire, such as the mini-gun or flamethrower. In other words, you have to see a part of it going through the glass. Fire the gun through the glass wall as Sunshine Autos. You will not see any fire or blood, but nonetheless, you can still kill anything through th
