2. Introduction
=======================================================================
Extreme-G is a highly underrated game. It has very good Graphics,
sound, Gameplay, and Replay Value. Out of all the racing games I own,
this is my favorite. In this Walkthrough, I will teach you everything I
know about Extreme-G.
=======================================================================
3. Controls
=======================================================================
These are the default controls. They can be changed at any time by
pressing R on the bike selection screen.
Z= Accelerate
A= Primary Weapon
B= Brake
R= Skid
Cv= Nitro
C>= Secondary Weapon
C^= Change View
L= Display Names
Control Pad= Steer
=======================================================================
4. Bikes
=======================================================================
1 is the worst and 10 is the best.
The stats are divided into five sections:
Accel: Acceleration- How well the bike can get up to its top speed from
a dead stop.
Speed: How high its top speed is.
Turns: How well it can turn.
Shield: The lower the shield the more damage you will take. If your
shield runs out you will slow down more when hit.
Weap: Weapons- How powerful your weapons are.
There are three types of Fixed Weapons:
Laser: Good slow down power, Medium distance, bad power
Excel: Medium slow down power, bad distance, Good power
Pulse: Bad slow down power, Good distance, medium power
The average speeds were taken on Desert 1 in Time Trial (faster than
Extreme Contest).

Rating: 10/10

5. Weapons
=======================================================================
If you want to, you have the option of turning the weapons off on the
options menu.
Standard Missiles: A yellow R with one arrow above it.
Desc: These come in packs of one, two, three, four, or five. They go
straight ahead when fired and explode on impact.

and rain down on the course in front of you.
Rating: 2/10
Homing Missile: An H with an arrow above it.
Desc: These home out an enemy in front of you and explode when they hit
them. If there is no enemy, then they will deflect of walls and explode
a fair way along the track.
Rating: 8/10
Proximity Mines: A yellow M with a blue ring around it.
Desc: Lays on the track and explodes when a bike hits it, slowing them
down.
Rating: 7/10
Laser Limpet-Mines: A yellow M with a red line on either side of it.
Desc: This attaches itself to both walls and explodes when someone hits
it.
Rating: 7/10
Morning Star: A yellow M with a circle above it.
Desc: This is a mine with a laser circling around a stick. It explodes
when someone hits it.
Rating: 3/10

Desc: This pulls other players backwards, allowing you to pass them.
Rating: 6/10
Flame Exhaust: A red F with a red flame above it.

boost.

from using their weapons for a limited amount of time.
Rating: 9/10
Wally Warp: A yellow and a purple W.
Desc: First, this drops the exit warp (purple), then it drops the
entrance warp (yellow) later on. When someone hits the entrance warp,
they will be warped back to the exit warp. The faster you go after you
drop the exit warp, the farther the two warps will be apart.
Rating: 10/10
Invisibility: Four blue lines that form a circle.

are invisible, you will disappear from the radar, but your shield will
still show up if you hit something.

Recharge: A red circle.
Desc: This refills some of your shield. If your shield is full, it will
do nothing.
Rating: 8/10
=======================================================================
6. The Courses
=======================================================================
In all there are 13 courses, but only three are available at the
beginning. The others can be unlocked in Extreme Contest mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Desert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Desert 1
-----------------------------------
Opinion: A very basic track. This track shouldn’t be too difficult.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 2
Nitro Curtains: 2
Best Path: After the temple there will be two paths to take. Take the
left path, it’s longer but it has two nitro curtains. Before the second
nitro curtain, use a regular nitro to go zooming through the
straightaway.
-----------------------------------
Desert 2
-----------------------------------
Opinion: This track has a lot of neat features. It has one of the
biggest dips in the game, and one of the two pipes in the game.
Jumps: 3
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 2
Best Path: After the big dip and a long straightaway, there will be a
fork. Take the left path, it is faster. The right path has a pipe, a
jump and a nitro curtain though.
-----------------------------------
Desert 3
-----------------------------------
Opinion: A cool course. You will go through a corkscrew and find a
hidden shortcut.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 3
Nitro Curtains: 0
Best Path: After the junkyard at the beginning, there will be two
paths. Take the right path. It is shorter, but it has a jump.
Shortcut: After the corkscrew, there will be a ramp on the right side
of the track. Go up it while pushing right to go over the wall onto a
hidden track. This track is MUCH shorter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. City
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
City 1
-----------------------------------
Opinion: This course has great graphics. You will find your first loop
here.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 2
Nitro Curtains: 0
Best Path: After the river, there will be two paths to take. Take the
left path, it is longer but you will go faster on it.
-----------------------------------
City 2
-----------------------------------
Opinion: One of the longest courses, this one is in the depths of the
city.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 0
Best Path: After the prison-like place, there will be two paths. Take
the right path, it’s slightly faster.
-----------------------------------
City 3
-----------------------------------
Opinion: The second shortest course. This is the course where I went
over 700 mph with Neon.
Jumps: 0
Ramps: 1
Nitro Curtains: 2
Best Path: Right after the first turn, there are two paths. Take the
right path; it has no beams that you can run into.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Mines & Canyons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Mines & Canyons 1
-----------------------------------
Opinion: One of my least favorite courses. You will go through a
corkscrew that will speed you up.
Jumps: 2
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 0
-----------------------------------
Mines & Canyons 2
-----------------------------------
Opinion: One of my favorite courses. This course has tons of Wally
Warps.
Jumps: 0
Ramps: 1
Nitro Curtains: 0
Shortcut: When you get to the ramp, go up it and push right to land on
a secret track. This track isn’t really shorter, but you can find a
Wally Warp here.
-----------------------------------
Mines & Canyons 3
-----------------------------------
Opinion: Ouch! This course is the longest and hardest in the game. You
will go through sections that have no rails! If you fall off you will
regenerate on the track again, but you will lose valuable seconds.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Space Station
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Space Station 1
-----------------------------------
Opinion: A nice course, this course has a lot of loops.
Jumps: 2
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 0
Best Path: Right after the first turn, there will be two paths. It
really doesn’t matter what path you take, but I like to take the left
path.
-----------------------------------
Space Station 2
-----------------------------------
Opinion: A very weird course, you will go through a lot of haze.
Jumps: 1
Ramps: 1
Nitro Curtains: 2
Best Path: After the loops, there will be two paths. Take the right
path, it has two nitro curtains.
-----------------------------------
Space Station 3
-----------------------------------
Opinion: My favorite course. When you get a pack of missiles, you will
always get five of them.
Jumps: 0
Ramps: 1
Nitro Curtains: 1
Shortcut: After the second dip, there will be a ramp. Go up the ramp
and you will hop onto a secret track. At the end of it, there is a
nitro curtain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Secret Course
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Opinion: A course by the ocean. At first glance this might look like a
boring course. It is very short and has no obstacles. But in truth,
this course can be one of the hardest to win. There are many weapons
that the computers will keep hitting you with.
Jumps: 0
Ramps: 0
Nitro Curtains: 0
=======================================================================
7. Extreme Contest
=======================================================================
There are three Extreme Contests. Each one is longer than the next.
There are also three difficulties. Extreme Contest is where you will
unlock everything. You also seem to go slower here than in Single
Player mode.
This mode can also be a 2-player mode. Just have the other player press
start on controller 2 at the bike selection screen.
The point system goes as follows:
1st- 8
2nd- 6
3rd- 5
4th- 4
5th- 3
6th- 2
7th- 1
8th- 0
You can also get extra points:
Don’t use any nitros- 1
Avoid the walls for most of the race- 1
The Contests and the courses you will play:
Atomic:
Desert 1
Desert 2
City 1
Mines & Canyons 1
Critical Mass:

Your Opponents and their fixed weapons:
Gray: Excel
Strike: Pulse
Blaze: Excel
Locus: Pulse
Rizal: Excel
Phati: Excel
Pulse: Pulse
=======================================================================
8. Single Player Mode
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Practice
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Practice just lets you play against the computer opponents you played
against in Extreme Contest. You get to choose from the three
difficulties and any tracks and bikes you’ve unlocked. You also seem to
go faster here than in Extreme Contest mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Time Trial
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like practice, but you race against the clock instead of the
computer opponents.
-----------------------------------
My Records
-----------------------------------
These times come after many tries. You probably won’t be able to match
them on your first try.
Desert 1- 34.05
Desert 2- 32.88
Desert 3- 39.68
City 1- 33.56
City 2- 55.70
City 3- 29.86
Mines & Canyons 1- 39.88
Mines & Canyons 2- 53.10
Mines & Canyons 3- 1:03.40
Space Station 1- 35.45
Space Station 2- 38.66
Space Station 3- 49.53
Secret Course- 10.71
-----------------------------------
How to get better records
-----------------------------------
1. First, you want to use Neon to set the records.
2. Attempt your record on the second lap.
3. Save all your nitros for the second lap.
4. Using nitros in front of nitro curtains makes you go really fast.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Shoot-em-up
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Shoot-em-up mode, you are trying to destroy as many droids as you
can in three laps.
-----------------------------------
My Records
-----------------------------------
Desert 1- 32
Desert 2- 35
Desert 3- 35
City 1- 39
City 2- 48
City 3- 22
Mines & Canyons 1- 22
Mines & Canyons 2- 33
Mines & Canyons 3- 33
Space Station 1- 26
Space Station 2- 25
Space Station 3- 35
Secret Course- 14
-----------------------------------
How to get better records
-----------------------------------
1. I like to use Raze
2. Try not to get the mortar rockets; they don’t do much.
=======================================================================
9. Multiplayer Mode
=======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Battle Arena
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The object in battle arena is to deplete your opponent’s shield before
they deplete yours.
2-4 players can play.
-----------------------------------
Course 1 (Upper Left)
-----------------------------------
This course has only two rooms. One of them has three stories. There
isn’t much exciting here.
Rooms: 2
Ramps: 0
-----------------------------------
Course 2 (Upper Right)
-----------------------------------
This course has an alcove in the bottom room. You can also hop off the
top room onto to other rooms.
Rooms: 4
Ramps: 0
-----------------------------------
Course 3 (Bottom Left)
-----------------------------------
The most interesting course: this course has a secret room. In the top
room, you can go through one of the walls! The wall is right behind
where player 2 appears.
Rooms: 3
Ramps: 0
-----------------------------------
Course 4 (Bottom Right)
-----------------------------------
The smallest course, this course has only one room.
Rooms: 1
Ramps: 3
-----------------------------------
Secret Course
-----------------------------------
This is just like the secret course in single player mode, except you
can go backwards.
Rooms: 1
Ramps: 0
-----------------------------------
Tips
-----------------------------------
1. Use either Mooga or Neon.
2. The walls can hurt you. Avoid them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Head to Head
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like practice except you are racing human opponents.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Flag Race
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of weapons, you have flags. Try to collect the most flags
before the first person finishes. The person with the most flags at the
end wins. You can also shoot people to make them drop their flags and
make the flags explode by shooting them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Multiplayer Cup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2-16 people can play
This is great if there is a large amount of people.
You can choose from four different variations:
Course 1- Play Desert 1, City 1, Mines & Canyons 1, and Space Station 1
Course 2- Play Desert 2, City 2, Mines & Canyons 2, and Space Station 2
Course 3- Play Desert 3, City 3, Mines & Canyons 3, and Space Station 3
