Hint:
Easy money in Crash mode: When you get to the main menu, go to "Single Event" and
"Crash Mode". Select "Junction 19", "Tuk
Down", and "Muscle type 1" as your car. Boost start at the
beginning. Drift and collect either the gold or silver (it is possible to
collect both of them). Smash through the boxes avoiding the wall, into the
boost and up evenly on the jump, avoiding the heart-breaker to your right.
Collect the x2 multiplier and after touch, making sure you try to land
evenly without hitting any boxes. Slide into the Crashbreaker, and get to
the x4 multiplier past the buses in aftertouch. If you get knocked out of
the way by the buses, wait until you stop and press Crashbreaker. Aim
in the direction of the x4 multiplier. If you miss, you always have the x2
as a fail safe. It is possible to get $1,500,000 to $1,750,000. Repeat this,
and do not select "Retry"; as all the money adds up to the total
score.
Go to junction titled
"On-Rampage". The largest car you have will work best. Getting the
boost start at the beginning is not required, but it does help. It is
possible grab the silver or bronze pick-ups, then pick up the 4x multiplier
and hit the car that is closest to the yellow strip on the road in the
oncoming lanes. Use aftertouch to try to stay in the spot that you hit that
car. Wait until there are two or three seconds remaining, then use your
Crashbreaker to explode. Try to take out the gas tankers with the explosion.
It is possible to get $1.8 million to $2.5 million.
When you have crashed into a
Crashbreaker icon, try using aftertouch to launch your self through the air
and hit an oil tanker. Note: This is difficult; you need to know where they
come from in the level. Hopefully your Crashbreaker meter should have gone
down. Press Black to blow yourself up and the oil tanker. This will
result in $99,990 for the oil tanker, and if you can get the 4x multiplier,
you will have stacks.
Hint:
Quick start: Hold the gas while tapping the brakes to get your tires smoking.
When the countdown is between "1" and "Go", release the
gas, then press it again.
When you are about to start a
race, hold A during the countdown and tap X. This will make
your tires spin and you will gain speed faster.
As soon as the race starts and
the countdown begins, hold A + X. As soon as the countdown
reaches "1", release X. To do this correctly, you must have
some sense of rhythm. Wait until the countdown is three quarters of the way
down between "1" and "Go", then release A and
quickly press it again. If done correctly, you will get a boost start.
Hint:
Getting into big corners: When at full speed (outside), hold Boost so that you will
take the corner from the outside. Yyou will grind one of your sides for the
entire time. When drifting with boost (cutting), start drifting and turn
your car so you will be facing the one third of the road (about 35 degrees
from the edge of road) and press Boost. You will achieve a drift
bonus and get the corner really fast. When drifting (cutting), approach into
the corner, drift, and make sure you stay on road for faster speed. You will
achieve drift. When slowing down (inside), release Gas and take the
corner slowly from the inside.
Hint:
Easy turbo:
Look for lightning tokens to
fully fill up your turbo.
Drive on the wrong side of
the road, but do not crash.
Get very close to a car and
do not touch it for a near miss.
Destroy other opponents to
extend your turbo and fill it up.
Hint:
Easy takedown: As soon as any race begins, immediately get behind the nearest
opponent and hold Boost. You will start getting
"Tailgating" points and will receive a short boost. Use this boost
to quickly slam your opponent. This will result in a takedown about 90% of
the time and will immediately fill your entire boost bar.
When in race or takedown
events, get behind your rival's car, then boost. This should take them out.
If not, slam into them (while using boost) on the back corners of the car.
This should take them out against a wall.
Go to road rage in single
player mode. Pick USA Silverlake southbound as the track. Choose Assassin
Super as your car. Throttle it to the other drivers. Start pounding them and
keep Boost held. Do not bother to slow down for the corners, just
slide around them. Your rivals will do the same. Keep pushing up the back of
them, and after a moment they will go flying and you will get a takedown.
You can get more than 30 takedowns by doing this.
Hint:
Extra boost: On crash courses, use the Right Analog-stick to point up
on the countdown. On each second, rotate it in a circle. On the last second,
rotate it around twice to get an extra shot of boost.
Get three takedowns so that you
have a good amount of boost in your boost bar. Drive in the oncoming lane
with your boost. Your boost will not go down and become infinite until you
crash or go out of the oncoming traffic. Note: This works even better in
Burning Lap, Preview Lap, and Special Event modes. You will actually start
gaining boost when this is done in those events.
Hint:
Unlocking cars: Choose your favorite track in world tour mode and race it
repeatedly (do not retry). Continue, then repeat.
Find a stage or track in world
tour mode that you can get a lot of money from. Keep playing that track
until you have unlocked the next car in your line-up.
Hint:
Move after you have stopped in crash mode: After you have peofrmed your crash, save the Crashbreaker and
look around to see if there are items or more cars you can hit. Use the
Crashbreaker, and guide yourself with R and the D-pad to where
ever you want to go. This can move you pretty far, and can get you over
trailers and big trucks.
Hint: SSX
3 reference: Sometimes Striker (the radio DJ) talks about "DJ
Atomika". Atomika is from SSX 3.
