Game:           Penny Racers
Platform:      Nintendo 64
Rating:        E for Everyone
Developers:    THQ

       Welcome to the world of Penny Racers, a car racing game involving
missiles and cannons, and stealing and losing parts. This game is
underestimated. I have seen reviews for this game that were given 4/10s, 2
stars out of 5 stars. I find this game fun because not only is a car game but
you can collect and steal parts from the losing cars that finished 4,5, or 6
in a race.

If there is anything you want to add or you want me to change, send me an
email with game guide in the subject line and I will give you credit for it on
the next update

B. This class is the first challenge. With practice, it is a walk in the park.

       Class AA is available after completing every race in the top 3 in

Country- a country track with two water fountains, a tunnel, and two speed
zones. When you get to the first fountain, there will be a metal guardrail.
Right after that ends, turn towards the fountain and you will see the first
speed zone. After you pass the second fountain and go down a long straightway
after it, the road will turn and on the outside of the turn there is the
second speed zone in the dirt.

Lakeside- A lakeside track, (hence the name), where its raining, so aqua tires
are recommended. It features a turn right on the lake where if you get bumped
going into it, your probably going into the drink; two tunnels and two speed
zones. After you go through the first tunnel, you will come out and see a
spotlight on the side of the road. Cut this towards the building and then you
will see another spotlight after that. The first speed zone is right in line
with the spotlight on the other side in the grass. I do not usually go for
this one because of its location and it is difficulty making it work. I
usually cut the corner on the other side of the spotlight like the one before
it. Then you will go through another tunnel. There will be a right turn. After
you first turn you will see where the fence stops and right next to the fence
after that turn is the second speed zone.

Harbor- My favorite "On Road" track, it winds it is way through a harbor,
through a small village, through a tunnel and over a bridge. It has four speed
zones. The first one is located right after you start you go over a tiny
bridge and make a left turn. The speed zone is right next to the building on
your left right after you turn. I usually to a 90 degree barrel roll and time
it so I go straight right on the edge of the building. (See example) After you
go by a house on a sharp, sharp corner on the other side of the track right
before the grass ends, there is a speed zone in the grass. The third one is
after you go through the tunnel, and turn a sharp right; it is just about the
same location as the first speed zone. (See Example) The last one is hidden in
a break in the wall at the end of the straightway after the bridge. You go
over the bridge and turn left. Hug the hall without hitting it and you will
see the break.

Mountain- My least favorite track, it is a horrible track complete with a
tunnel, bouncing boulders, a water pool, and a tunnel. It has two speed zones.
The first is located right after you exit the tunnel, its in the grass next to
the fence on    your right. The second is located after the pool of water, you
will go under a bridge, and it is immediately to your right. Watch out for the
bouncing rocks near the first speed zone. If you do not drive under the bridge
and hit the wall, say goodbye to your lead or position.

Ruins- This is a fun track that goes under a waterfall, through some dinosaur
bones, through a tunnel and across a lake. It has two speed zones. The first
is located after you exit the waterfall and it is on the outside of the right
turn you are about to make. The second is located after you go over two jumps.
After you go over the second one, barrel roll to your right and the speed zone
is right there.

Volcano- Another one of my favorites, it is one of those tracks where you can
love it, or you can hate it. It starts outside a volcano, which you eventually
enter. It has a lava pool with a path going across with no walls or
guardrails, and then goes to a pool of water, with a bridge with no walls and
then to a chasm with a bridge with no walls. It can get very frustrating if
you keep falling of one of the bridges. It's hard when you restart ahead of
another racer because if you start going over the bridge at a slow speed and
they come barreling in at top speed, most likely you'll both end up in the
drink. This level has two speed zones. The first one is after you climb a mini
hill at the beginning, barrel roll to your right and there is a small path
between a barrier and a rock. The speed zone is right in that path. The second
speed zone is right after that part. You go across that empty space where the
first speed zone is and then the second one is right next to the wall, like in
the example for harbor. The third one is right after the second one. After the
second speed zone, you can pick either to stay on that path and go off a jump
or fall down into a valley Type thing and go through a cave and hit the speed
zone. I usually go through the cave because of the speed zone. The fourth
speed zone you shouldn't even worry about hitting because it's out of your way
and will only add time, instead of subtracting it. The fourth speed zone is
down in the valley, but there is no cave to exit into. You would have to climb
back up the hill to the path to move on.

Alpine- The first of the snow tracks, this one too simple. It involves a
tunnel, a river, and three speed zones. The first one I would not even bother
with, but for the purposes of this guide, I have to tell you where it is.
After you start you turn left into an open area and you will eventually see a
log cabin. If you go up the stairs and there it is, speed zone #1. It does not
help your time so I do not bother with it. The second one is after you go
through the tunnel, there is a sign pointing to the right. Ignore it and go
left. A small path leads right to #2. The third one is right after speed zone
2. After getting #2, there is a corner and you blast right into. Right beside
that wall is #3. It is like the example for harbor but opposite. The other
wall is used this time instead.

Caves- I hate this track. It goes through two different sections of a cave,
over a bridge and through a winding road with tall snow mounds on the sides.
It has three speed zones. The first is located in the second section of the
cave. You enter and turn right. It is located next to the wall like in the
harbor example. The second speed zone is located two turns after the first one
just like the example. The third one is located after the winding road. Right
after the last turn, when you can see the road to your right, it is located
like the example for harbor.

Ice- you guessed it, another ice track. This is another one of my favorite
tracks. It goes through a carved out ice room type thing, past a pirate ship
and through an undersea tunnel. It has three speed zones. The first one is
located near the beginning. After you take a left turn, there is an immediate
right turn. The speed zone is located along the right wall after the right
turn. The second speed zone is located after you go off a jump in the carved
out ice room thing, you go down a path and immediately turn right. It is along
the wall. The third speed zone is located after exiting the undersea tunnel.
You go down the track a little ways until you turn right when there's just
water in front of you. It is along the right wall before the start finish
line.

              =To get this you need to:

******************
++++Strategies++++
******************
+Class C+
       This is the easiest class and the class you begin with. If your just
starting off, I'd do this class as many times as it takes for you to get 1st
in every race by at least 10 seconds. It is definitely possible in this class.
You should get as many parts as possible so you have more to pick from as your
set points go up. This is a gather parts class.

      ==Settings I would Use:
              =Racer          Racers 4,5,11,14 (these are the best I think,
                                                but it does not matter)

              =Engine         Stock 2 (until you get either a Accel.5 or
                                       TopEnd5)

              =Tire           Street/Off Road/Aqua/Snow 1 (all you need is a
                                                           level 1 tire, it
                                                           saves set points)

              =Brake          Brake 1/2/3 (I don't use my brakes that often,
                                           but these are fine, it saves set
                                           points)

              =Suspension     Suspension 1/2/3 (3 is recommended, but no
                                                higher)

              =Armor          None (if you use armor, you have to use a lower
                                    engine level and its not important)

              =Extra          Any extra not using set points (doesn't matter)

              =Special        None (at this class you can win hands down
                                    without using a special so why bother if
                                    you are good then you can use one that
                                    uses one set point at the most)
+Class B+
       You receive this class after you have completed class C by winning
every race in third position or better. This class is not that much more
difficult. Again, I would do this class until you can beat everybody by at
least 10 seconds. It is still easy. In this class, try to learn the tracks and
where all the shortcuts and speed zones are. It is a learning class.

      ==Settings I would Use:
              =Racer          Racers 4,5,11,14 (it doesn't matter)

              =Engine         Either TopEnd 8 or Accel. 8 (Stock 3 isn't a
                                                           bad choice)

              =Tire           Street/Off Road/Aqua/Snow 1 (levels 2/3 are not
                                                           needed)

              =Brake          Brake 1/2/3 (again, I don't use the brakes very
                                           much, and these three save set
                                           points)

              =Suspension     Suspension 4/5/6 (7/8/9 are not needed yet)

              =Armor          Bumper/Spoiler 1 (I wouldn't use this yet, but
                                                It is your choice)

              =Extra          Any extra not using any set points

              =Special        Turbo, Block (1 set point)
                              Missile 1    (2 set points)
                              (Depends on your other picks. these are the
                               best options)
+Class A+
       This is the class won after completing class B and the first
challenging one. You have to be smart and use your shortcuts/speed zones well.
I would do this class until you have a few special items, all the level 3
tires, the level 9 suspension, missile 2, try to get a special engine,
Bumper/Spoiler 3 and TopEnd/Accel. 9. This is a part collecting preparation
for AA class.

      ==Settings I would Use:
              =Racer          Racers 4,5,11,14 (it doesn't matter but Racer
                                                14 seems to be quicker than
                                                the others)

              =Engine         TopEnd/Accel. 9(Accel./TopEnd S if you have it)

              =Tire           Street/Off Road/Aqua/Snow 3 (you need them)

              =Brake          Brake 1,2,3 (again, not important)

              =Suspension     Suspension 9 (you should have it by now)

              =Armor          Bumper/Spoiler 2/3 (preferably level 2,saves
                                                  set points)

              =Extra          Any extra not using set points (not important)

              =Special        Turbo, Block (1 set point)
                              Missile 1    (2 set points)
                              Missile 2    (3 set points)
                              (Depends on your other picks, but I wouldn't
                               recommend any other weapons)
+Class AA+
      This is the champion's class. You get it after completing class A. You
have unlimited set points so I will give you the best options that are
available to me (parts). This is the final class. You should get all the
specials during this class. This is a racing class and an all-out battle.

      ==Settings I would Use:
              =Racer          Racer 4,5,11,14 (the quickest of the quick,
                                               Racer 14)

              =Engine         TopEnd SS (no competition, just get the quick
                                         start)

              =Tire           Street/Off Road/Aqua/Snow 3 (you will lose
                                                           without them)

              =Brake          Brake 9 (doesn't matter, but higher the better)

              =Suspension     Suspension 9 or S(whichever you have)

              =Armor          Spoiler/Bumper 4/S(use the specials if you got
                                                 em if you cant steer-
                                                 spoiler; if you hate people
                                                 bumping you-bumper)

              =Extra          Any (doesn't matter)

              =Special        Turbo,Block(Fun to see the comp run into these)
                              Missile 2  (the best I have, but your choice)
                              H Laser    (Should be the best)
