2:THE FAQ
A:The Basics
When this game starts, a timer will be shown. It will start to count down
when you start moving. You cannot lose a life even if you crash until the
timer runs out..
You got infinite bullets.
Armored bullies cannot be hurt by bullets, but oil and smoke can,. None of
those, then you must ram them off the road, and you must do that if you
cannot get infront of them, or infront of them safely.
Do not try to ram a tireslasher off the road!!
You will get an extra life if you obtain 10,000 points before the timer runs
out.
You will get an extra life if you get 30,000 points and every 30,000 points
thereafter. Eventually you cannot get any more extra lifes.
if you hit a car at a high enough speed, go off the road, or get killed by a
enemy car, you die and lose a life. It is possible to go off the road and
still be able to move....
If you kill an innocent, then your score will flash for a few seconds,
meaning no points can be obtained
If you drive on the edge of the road, then no points are given.
Tireslashers, and Limos do not attack until you pass the first set of
bridges.And the helicopter does not appear until then. However tireslashers
will try to ram you before the bridge, when they can use their tireslashing
weapons.
Craters from the Helicopter's bombs on the water only kill you if you drive
into them after they hit..wait a second and you can drive over where they
hit. But if you play it safe, just dodge 'em.
You can push friendly cars (Except the Motorcycle) off the road and not get
your score temporarily disabled, like it does when you kill them with
bullets. Knocking them off with Oil or Smoke will cause your score to
temporarily stop advancing, thus you should avoid that if possible.

Enemies....
Armored Bullies (200 points each)
Bullets cannot hurt them. Push them off the road by ramming their side. Best
if you ram their front wheel with your back wheel. They will try to do the
same to you. Oil and smoke can knock them off the road
Description:Wide and fat
Tireslasher (200 points)
Can be shot by bullets or caused to veer off the road and die with oil and
smoke blasts. DO NOT let them get to your side, as they have tireslashers to
cause your tires to slash and spin off the road and crash.
Description:Small and has white tireslashers sticking out where the hubcaps
are supposed to be.
Limo (500 points)
These guys will get to your side and shoot at you with a pistol. It doesn't
always hit, but if it does, you will get shot and spin off the road. Also use
oil and smoke on them if they are behind you.
Description:Very long and has a pistol pointing out the window at you usually
Helicopter (700 points)
Will drop bombs on the road. They will produce craters which can destroy you
if you drive over it.
Description:A white helicopter
Stop in the road and line yoruself up with the helicopter and it won't drop
bombs...Then release a missile if you got one. Otherwise, just keep going and
dodge the bombs and their resulting craters.
Crater:A large hole in the road made by the bombs. These will cause you to
fall in and crash.
Description:A small hole in the road about 1/4 the size of your car
Boathouse:Eventually you will see one of these near a lone bridge. Drive into
it!
Description:A building next to the river that is about 4 1/2 times wider than
your car
Torpedo Tube boat (200 points):Releases Torpedo tubes, or the water eqivalent
of a land mine...DO NOT carelessly tailgate it.. Bullets can kill it.

Tubes
Torpedo Tube:A waterbound explosive that will detonate when ridden over

Explosive barrel boat (500 points)
Very dangerous, pull over to the side and don't stop shooting bullets until
it is gone.

torpedo boat
Explosive Barrel-A small white cylinder that flies by at blinding speed

Tugboat:Brings a new boat to you when you blow up in the water
Description:Very slow moving, mostly grey boat
Rock:Small ones you can drive over. Do not try to drive over the big ones.
Ice:White roads cause slippery handling. Careful! Careful!!
Description:When the road turns white, you are driving on ice
Water puddle:Randomly place in the roads, this will just cause your car to
jerk left or right, a little control loss, but nothing to worry about too
much. enemy cars can drive over them and get rid of them too.
Description:A shiny blue liquid lying in the road
Friendly/Neutral cars
Light Blue Car:Don't shoot or nail this guy with weapons)
Red Car (Don't hurt it)
Motorcycle:Not only can you shoot and wipe him out, just touching him can
cause him to crash and causes 3 seconds of scoreless travel.
Weapons Van-Cannot be destroyed by any of your weapons or ramming. However it
can be destroyed if it goes offroad (when the road on the other side scrolls
off for one thing, and a helicopter crater)
Weapons van with a plain red roof:Not sporting any weapons
Weapons Van with a black rectangle-Drive into the back of this to get Oil!
This will slip up your enemies and you can tap A to release a little or hold
for a stream! The best weapons for tailgaters!
Weapons van with a white circle:This gives you Smoke! This continuously
releases smoke to cause any behind you to go off..Don't forget some
friendlies can come from behind and get knocked off the road.
Weapons Van with 2 white stripes on it's roof. Heat seeking missiles! Use
this to wipe out the Helicopter! To do so, stop on the side of the road and
let the helicopter line up with you (he won't drop bombs if you are not
moving) and then launch the missile. You will get 700 points for taking down
the helicopter!!!
3:TRICKS
Drive offroad:
Get on the rim and wait until the road shortens, The rim of the road will
move,thus you will be heading for the offroad,...Doesn't always work, but if
it does, you are now driving offroad and not dying. You can stay there as
long as you like! No points though.
Quick Trip to the Boathouse:
Take the left bridge 3 times if you want to reach the Boathouse quickly.
Drive on water?
When you find a boathouse that goes back to the road, slowly SLOWLY drive on
the edge of the center like the drive offroad trick and if you succeed in
driving offroad, do it until most or all of the boathouse is gone, and go
right. You shall be picked up by a random weapon van (for a weapon) and
released on water. Glitchy like crazy.....You can go faster than you can
before. I haven't performed this is a long time, so it may not be totally
correct. I might make future updates a bit later.You can BLAZE across the
flooded-road in your car! Yahoo!!!
Free Life
Get 10,000 points before the timer expires
Infinite lives
You won't lose any lives, or lose the game if the timer is up, unless you use
the 10 car code, then you lose extra lives anytime. You can get game over
when the timer is still up if you crash 10 times with that code on.
4:Codes
Get 10 lives (cars)At the title screen, press Right, Select, and Start
simultaneously. When the game begins, allow the timer to run out without
dying. You will receive 10 extra lives. ANy lives lost before the timer runs
out with this code used will take it from your stock, you CAN get Game Over
before the timer runs out if you crash a lot, that cannot happen if you don't
use the code, but you wouldn't have 10 lives either.
Start with all weapons At the title screen, hold A, B, Select and press Start
simultaneously. You will start
with all weapons.
