       Well, this FAQ is hardly complete, but as I have just
       let it sit there for near a month, I decided to get it
       decent enough to post on other sites. If you have any
       info, or can fill in the "???", please e-mail me at
       [email protected].

            "Value" is my rating of the item. In other words how good
            it is.
            "Desc." is the item's description.

            ___EGGS___
            Price: N/A
            Found: Course Only
            Value: Varies. W/ Louies Very Good. W/ Tirras Decent.
            Desc.: With Louies eggs give you a speed boost. With
                   Tirras eggs make you temporarily invincable.

            ___ROCKET BOMB___
            Price: ???
            Found: Course and Shop
            Value: Great. Definitly a keeper.
            Desc.: This item is a heat seeking missle. The higher you
                   charge it, the faster it will go.

            ___REMOTE CONTROL BOMB___
            Price: ???
            Found: Course and Shop
            Value: Decent, but not very practical.
            Desc.: When you lay this bomb you can set it off whenever
                   you want. You can see it's location on the map for
                   reference. It's is more or less useless in this game
                   as there is no way to know that the enemy is close
                   enough to the bomb when you set it off to do any
                   damage. It's more luck then anything else.

            ___POWER BOMB___
            Price: ???
            Found: Course and Shop
            Value: Eh. It's better than nothing.
            Desc.: Because of the nature of the item

          I have maps of some of the courses available for use. It may or
          may not be up on gamefaqs.com, but you should always be able to
          find it on my homepage at:
          http://www.technonet.com/~kmfdm/

          NOTE: At this time I only have the map of Bomber Circut complete.

          The maps and strategies should apply to the Mirrored courses too,
          but I will have to make the ticket price + victory money list for
          them seperate.

         | B O M B E R   C I R C U T

         |---( COURSE 1 )------------

           Ticket Price: FREE

           1st: 100
           2nd:  70
           3rd:  50

           100 Coin Bonus: 300

           This is the easiest course in the game. There is little variation
           to it, and no traps. Just make sure you keep ahead of the rest of
           the racers, and use the catapult on the wall near the end of the
           course.

           When playing the Bonus stage, go for time, not the Coin Bonus. You
           can make 800+ easy, but the coins only give you a measly 300.

           100 Coin Bonus: 500

           Welcome to Bomber Coaster Lake! This is the first course to have
           jumps and various "traps".

           Like in Bomber Circut go for Time, not Coins, in the bonus round
           again.

            -------
           [ Traps ]
            -------
             Water  - Certain stretches of this track are boarded by a cliff
                      that drops off into water. Be careful when taking
                      corners not to do something like jump off, or lose
                      control and just ride off. :)
             Jumps  - There are 2 jumps on this course you have to make. Both
                      are identical and are the easiest jumps you can think
                      of. Simply start running at full speed and jump just
                      before you hit them. If you fall you land in water and
                      get pulled out on the other side of the jump.

            ------------
           [ Short Cuts ]
            ------------
             There is one shortcut in this level. Make sure to get the
             catapult, then while zooming forward jump over the fountains and
             the railing onto the small strip of land, and run along it till
             you can jump off on to the main road.

         |-------------------------------------------
         | W A C A   I S L A N D   B E A C H S I D E
         |-------------------------------------------
         |---( COURSE 3 )----------------------------

           Ticket Price: 400

           1st: 300
           2nd: 100
           3rd:  70

           100 Coin Bonus: 700

           Waca Island can be a pain for some people, but incredibly easy
           for others. I dunno why. It's easy as hell for me, but both my
           brother and friend hate the level with a passion. My suggestion
           is use Tirras here so you have a little bit more control. Unless
           of course you wanna make one of the shortcuts(which isn't
           neccesary at all), then use a Louie.

           In this course, whether to go for time or coins in the bonus
           stage is a pure judgement call. Either way you get about the
           same.

            -------
           [ Traps ]
            -------
             Water  - What is that poem? Water, water everywhere... uh,
                      well thats really all of the poem that applies here.
                      Being this is an island, there is lots of water, but
                      the course is pretty easy so unless you mess up on
                      taking a shortcut it shouldn't be a problem.

            ------------
           [ Short Cuts ]
            ------------
             This level has 2 shortcuts. Shortcut one is a cave behind some
             water roughly 1/3 of the way through the course. Shortcut number
             two involves Tri-Jumping between the pillars sticking out of the
             water just before the pirate ship.

           Ticket Price: 900

           1st: 500
           2nd: 200
           3rd: 100

           100 Coin Bonus: ??

           I really suck at this level for some reason, so am not really
           sure what to say about it. I suggest use Louies though, so that
           you don't risk falling from the jumps, as they set you back
           substantially.

            -------
           [ Traps ]
            -------
             Ice   - The ice makes you slide around near uncontrollably.
                     Try to stay on the snow whenever possible, and make
                     sure you don't slide off into the water.
             Water - Like many other courses there are some parts of this
                     course that borders water, and combined with the ice
                     this can be a pain.
             Jumps - Unlike the earlier jumps in Bomber Coast, these don't
                     drop you in water, but in a stretch of course below.
                     See the maps for more details.

            ------------
           [ Short Cuts ]
            ------------
             Well, I see the shortcut but I have no clue how to get to it.
             If you know, e-mail me at [email protected].

         |-------------------------
         | S T A R   E X P R E S S
         |-------------------------
         |---( COURSE 5 )----------

           Ticket Price: 1500

           1st: 1000
           2nd:  300
           3rd:  150

           100 Coin Bonus: 2000

           This level is really fun! Tons of traps, but they are all cool.

           Go for coins in this level's bonus stage. The 2000 gold far outweighs
           anything you can get from time bonuses.

            -------
           [ Traps ]
            -------
             Lightning - There are electrical currents flowing between some
                         coils on the wall on one stretch. Simple enough to
                         get by. Simply jump over the low ones, and run
                         under the high ones.
             The Alien - Well, in one open corridor there is an alien obssessed
                         with blasting you for no apparent reason. If you see
                         he is going to be in your way, run along the left
                         side as he almost never shoots anything that will hit
                         you there. Just remember not to run into the wall at
                         the end of the left side. :) It happens all the
                         time...

            ------------
           [ Short Cuts ]
            ------------
             There is one shortcut in this level, at a point where a large loop
             starts, in the form of a small tunnel off to the side. Take the
             course slow once to find it, then use it from then on.

         |---------------------------
         | D Y N A   M O U N T A I N

         |---( COURSE 6 )------------

           Ticket Price: 3000

           1st: 1500
           2nd:  500
           3rd:  200

           100 Coin Bonus: 3000

           This is my level of choice to earn cash. Easy to win with any of
           the later animals, and an easy 4500 each race. Just take both
           the shortcuts and learn not to fall off the sides and you will
           find this level to have a huge cash flow.

           Definitly go for the Coins in the Bonus Stage in this level.

            -------
           [ Traps ]
            -------
             Mines       - The course's first sharp turn is loaded with mines.
                           Either run through the clear path, or go around the
                           side.
             Pit         - Alongside the bridge after the Mine Turn there are
                           pits on either side. Also, there is a pit inside the
                           cavern/temple place immediatly after.
             Waterfall   - Later in the course there is a waterfall, and if you
                           aren't careful the current will drag you off. Simply
                           dash through it, or stay on the 2 stone platforms in
                           the center.
             Wind Bridge - After the stage's catapult there is a bridge, with
                           wind blowing trying to knock you off. There really
                           is little threat to being blown off for players
                           with any experience. The bigger problem is when the
                           wind pushes you over just enough you run into the
                           wall and flatten yourself.

            ------------
           [ Short Cuts ]
            ------------
             Two shortcuts here. The first is when you enter the cavern near the
             beginning, run along the thin strip rather than going around. My
             suggestion is charge at full speed straight down it, and when it
             goes crooked just jump over the gap instead of trying to turn and
             risking falling. The other shortcut may not be considered one by
             some. At one point you have the choice of dropping into water, or
             jumping over it on to more ground. The player's natural inclination
             is to try to make the jump. My suggestion is fall down to the water,
             not jump over it, then use your Stamnia to run forward so you don't
             lose speed in the water. This can put you in first a lot of times!

            Mirror Courses
              - Get 1st place in every one of the normal courses. Mirror
                courses have REALLY expensive tickets, but also have
                great prize money.

            Black Louie
              - Buy all 5 of the Louies to open "Black Louie". He costs
                100,000!

            King Tirra
              - Buy all 5 of the Tirras to open "King Tirra". He costs
                an insane 150,000!!

            Easy Money
              - Save your game in a second file, then go to Vs. and
                load that file as the 2p file. You can then keep getting
                money by betting the max, then beating the 2p "fake" file
                to get the wager for your "real" file. This actually can
                take longer than racing if you don't have high enough
                money already to make substantial bets.
