2. Tips And Tricks
==================

Bonus Cars
At the car selection screen, hold C-Up + C-Left + C-Down.

Bonus Tracks
To access three tracks that you normally can not race without "Crusin' the USA",
go to the track selection screen and hold the proper buttons:

Golden Gate Park: L + C-Left + C-Down
Indiana: L + C-Right + C-Up
San Francisco: L + C-Right + C-Down

Chicago Crash
As you begin the Chicago race you will be on the freeway. After the first two
turns you should see a broken down car. If you hit the car just right (causing
it to FLY through the air) it will land in front of the first place person.

Color Change
After you've earned new cars, press C-Up on the Car Selection screen to change
your vehicle's color.

Easy Upgrades
Here's a faster way to update cars in a two-player game.
Start a two-player game, and race until you reach Washington D.C. When the DC
race begins, press Start and quit the game.
Next, have player #1 return to Washington D.C. and upgrade his car. After player
#1 has finished, player #2 should do the same thing. Happy cruising!

Flashing Lights and Siren
Enter the "Secret Head" code, then start a new race as the School Bus or Police
Car. While playing, tap Brake, Brake, Gas to flash your lights and/or sound your
siren.

Iowa Hitchhiker
In Iowa go to the second field of corn and find the pine tree in the left and
middle of the field. and you should see a hitchhiker.

Lost Wheels
After a two-player challenge game, the losing player's right front wheel will
fall off if you continuously rotate the analog joystick clockwise. This should
happen after the car rotates 3-4 times. Talk about driving till the wheels fall
off!

Nitro Boost
Enable the "Secret Head" code, then start a new race. While driving, press
Brake, Brake, Brake, Gas, Brake, Gas after each checkpoint for a nitro boost.
This won't increase your top speed, but it will increase your acceleration.

Secret Head
To view the secret head, make a "Hot Time" on any stage. Enter your initials and
scroll down to the bottom of the screen, then hold Left on the analog stick for
about 35 seconds. A head should come moving down the conveyer belt saying "I
love this job."
