===========================
2. Introduction to the Game
===========================

Re-Volt is an RC Car racing game for the Dreamcast that puts you in
control of a small RC car to race against rivals in life like (and life-
size) environments. You'll find yourself racing through neighborhood
streets dodging the occasional basketball, leaping over supermarket cash
registers, breaking into museums past closing hours, and sailing along
on a cruise ship. It has just short of 50 different cars to race on 14
different tracks. It is quite difficult, and takes quite a while to
unlock the whole game.

==========================
3. Purpose of the Star FAQ
==========================

To fully unlock the game, not only will you have to win all the races
and beat all the times. Those will come from experience, hard work and
determination. The rest of the unlocking will come from finding and
nabbing all the stars in the Practice mode of the game. Each track has a
star and as the tracks get progressively harder, so does obtaining the
stars. When you get the stars on every track of a certain difficulty
level, more cars will be unlocked, so to get all of the cars, you need
to get all of the stars.

==============
4. Easy Tracks
==============
These tracks all have the stars in easy to spot locations and are all
easily accessible. Supermarket 2 will give you the hardest time to get
but it should only take a couple of tries. (On a side note, for some
reason, the numbering of the tracks in the game is weird. The second
track you race in the game is Supermarket 2, when later in the game you
come across Supermarket 1. The same thing goes for the Museum tracks)

<4.1 Toys in the Hood 1>

This star requires skill or insane jump to reach. It is found midway
through the track underneath the red car that is halfway parked up on
the curb (license plate PP4 CLE). Simply drive under the car and the
star is yours.
Car to Use: Any

<4.2 Supermarket 2>

Proceed through the track and find the three cash registers. Back up as
far as possible and then accelerate towards the middle register. Use the
conveyor belt ramp to launch over the register and to get the star in
the air.
Car to Use: Any car with fast acceleration. Adeon or Sprinter XL.

<4.3 Museum 2>

The star on this track is located on the handrail between the two
escalators midway through the level. Line up with the bottom of the
handrail and drive the ramp and onto the narrow rail between the two
escalators. The star is about half way up.
Car to Use: Any

<4.4 Botanical Garden>

At the end of the track, as you are coming down the last hill, there is
a small window to the left of the big arch. Drive down the grass, into
the window and onto the elevated soil box. Behind the last pillar is the
star.
Car to Use: Any

================
5. Medium Tracks
================
These are all easy with the one exception being the Rooftops star. This
one is simply maddening to get.

<5.1 Rooftops>

This star is one of the harder ones to obtain in the game. The star can
be seen on a ledge just past the roof with the two large satellite
dishes (on the dark, unlit roof). To get the star you will have to
travel beyond this point. Take the track around the building on the
rooftop and get to the next one with small pyramid like structures on
your left, and large buildings on your right. Drive between the first
and second pyramids and turn yourself back towards the rooftop you just
came from. This is where the difficulty starts. You have to jump off the
rooftop and land on the narrow ledge that goes around the one you just
came from (the dark rooftop). Driving too slow will make you miss the
ledge and going too fast will make you fly over it. If you land on the
ledge, stop your forward momentum by using reverse. It will take several
tries. Your best bet is to point the nose of your car at the ladder in
the distance and land somewhat on the corner, which allows for a little
more room. After you land on the ledge, travel extremely slowly and
carefully along the top until you reach the star.
Car to Use: I found it best to use Adeon and start accelerating from the
second pyramid-like structure.

<5.2 Toy World 1>

Another easy star. Instead of just jumping off the very last ramp,
slowly ride up the ramp and fall off the edge. You will get the star on
your way down.
Car to Use: Any

<5.3 Ghost Town 1>

This star is located right before the finish-line. If you flip around
and head backwards right from the start you should see it. It's sitting
on top of a wooden crate right next to a large ramp. Just drive up the
ramp and fall off the side to land on the star.
Car to Use: Any

<5.4 Toy World 2>

A little short of halfway into the track, one section of track jumps
over the other. This jump can be found by taking the right path at the
fork earlier in the race. Jump over the track then turn the car back
around. Jump the opposite way you just came, but intead of landing on
the track, land on the grassy spot to the right. The star is just in
front of the big red door.
Car to Use: Any

==============
6. Hard Tracks
==============
Here is where the stars start being very difficult to get. All three
pose a large challenge with Toytanic 1 being the hardest of the bunch.
All three require fast cars and lots of patience.

<6.1 Toys in the Hood 2>

Take the first turn in the course and head towards the open doorway.
Instead of entering, however, take a right. Drive down to the fence and
up on the driveway to your left. Turn the car to face the white house at
the end of the street and accelerate towards it. As you come to the
street that intersects it, turn slightly to the right and hit the wooden
ramp. This will launch you up and over the trash can that the star is
sitting on top of. This one can be quite difficult. I wouldn't recommend
accelerating up the street because it requires that you turn more at the
end, resulting in a loss of speed. Also, you have to hit the ramp at a
crooked angle. The wheels of the car tend to slip off the edge alot so
getting this can be frustrating.
Car to Use: Anything fast, Adeon

<6.2 Toytanic 1>

This is one of the hardest stars to get in the game, maybe even THE
hardest. Towards the end of the track there is a big long stretch of
deck followed by a red ramp. The trick is to speed down the right
corridor of the deck and up the right side of the ramp. This will launch
you towards a deck chair. Turn to the left and hit the top of the
backrest of the chair and pray that you are going fast enough, and in
the right direction. This one takes many, many tries and alot of luck to
get. And if taking forever to get isn't enough, you have to do it all
again (more on that later).
Car to Use: Anything with speed and not too heavy. I got it with Adeon
(my car of choice in case you couldn't tell).

<6.3 Museum 1>

Turn around at the start and take the course in reverse. Don't go up the
large metal ramp after the first turn. Instead, go behind it to a room
filled with lasers and infared tripwires. Accelerate down the room and
at the very end, aim towards the top of the blue shell. You'll fly over
the shell and out over the staircase. The star is hanging high in the
air over the staircase. Another perk to this hard to get star requires a
long drive back around the course. After you fly over the shell, you
can't get back to the ledge you came from. So you have to drive back
towards the finish-line and back to the laser room.
Car to Use: Anything Fast.

=================
7. Extreme Tracks
=================
These are on about the same playing field as the hard tracks (except
Ghost Town 2, which is very easy to get).

<7.1 Supermarket 1>

Turn and drive the course in reverse right from the start. Drive all the
way down the long corridor until you reach the wall. Turn yourself back
towards the cash registers and floor it. Get as much speed as you can
and launch off the ramp on the leftmost cash register. This one requires
a very fast car.
Car to Use: Your Fastest Car

<7.2 Ghost Town 2>

Turn around and start the course in reverse. Head through the small
space between the two buildings and on through the course. Soon you will
see the ramp that you used to get the star in Ghost Town 1. Go to the
bottom and accelerate up. Instead of driving off the side like before,
simply drive straight up the ramp. At the top, you will come to a
vertical wall. Drive up the wall and the star is at the top. This one is
very easy to get, but incredibly hard to locate. It isn't visible until
you drive right over it due to the camera angle.
Car to Use: A lightweight one.

<7.3 Toytanic 2>

Remember the first Toytanic? Well, the developers decided to put the
star in the exact same place on Toytanic 2. You get to do the whole
thing over again. In case you missed my advice for the first one, here
it is: This is one of the hardest stars to get in the game, maybe even
THE hardest. Towards the end of the track there is a big long stretch of
deck followed by a red ramp. The trick is to speed down the right
corridor of the deck and up the right side of the ramp. This will launch
you towards a deck chair. Turn to the left and hit the top of the
backrest of the chair and pray that you are going fast enough, and in
the right direction. This one takes many, many tries and alot of luck to
get.
Car to Use: Anything Fast
