Easy maximum upgrades:
If you are in the middle of a circuit, exit the circuit and start from
the Alpha circuit. Make sure that you have tires that suit the first
track. In the game, grab as many money symbols as possible. Also, make
sure to finish in first place. After you complete the track, begin the
next track, but do not race. Exit the game, and start back from the
Alpha circuit again. Keep doing this until you have maximum upgrades.
This can be time consuming, but is well worth the time.
Avoiding mines:
Unless you cannot avoid it or see it in time, do not run over anything
that looks like a nail. It is a mine, and you will get blown up.
Getting good starts:
If you do not get first or second place when you start the race, end
immediately and try again.
Recovering from spin outs:
If you spin out, do not attempt to stop. You will go in the direction
you intended to travel almost all of the time.
Better cars:
To make sure that your car runs well, you must enter a race. If you find
that your car accelerates too slowly, you can then get the turbo
upgrade. If you find that your car does not go fast enough, get the
engine. Basically, you need to enter the race to see what upgrades you
need.
Powersliding:
It is usually a good idea to use powersliding in the event that you hit
a sharp 180 or more turn. It is not a good idea to use it when you are
in a shallow 180 turn.
Spin-outs:
Although the Iron Bull was supposed to be "nearly impossible to spin
out", it seems that he can indeed easily spin out.
Misleading maps:
Sometimes, the map of the track will be misleading. The direction arrow
will point in the opposite direction.
Finding shortcuts:
There are two ways to find shortcuts. The first is to use the track in
practice mode. The other less obvious way is to follow a car and observe
where it goes.
Tires:
Although some tracks have more than one road type, maps will sometimes
show only one. For example, if you see a track that says there is
pavement and dirt tracks, sometimes the map will only show the pavement.
In this case, do not use the dirt tires. The shortcuts will most likely
be dirt.
Brakes:
It is sometimes a good idea to slow down before you enter a curve,
especially in a 180 turn.
Upgrades:
It is usually a good idea to keep the engine upgrade and turbo upgrade
equal. For example, if you have two upgrades of the engine, you may want
to have two turbo upgrades as well.
Armor:
When you complete the Alpha Circuit, it is always a good idea to upgrade
your armor. The more armor you have, the less chances that your car will
get severely damaged when you run over a mine, fall into the water, or
do something else.
Shortcuts:
It is always best to test out a shortcut in practice mode if you just
found it. The last thing you want to happen is to get hit by a train in
Vineyards or fall off a bridge in Area 99.
Try before you race:
You should always use practice mode before you race on any new track.
Try all different weather conditions, as you never know what is going to
come up.
Weapons:
Do not buy weapons. They are a waste of money, and are not worth buying.
More money:
Before you start getting money for your upgrades, you may want to
complete the Alpha Circuit. After winning it, the money symbols are
worth more money.
If you notice people taking money symbols and are in front of them, slow
down. If you are in any other position, ram into them. Note: This only
works for the Fat Cat. |
