Cheat Menu

Race on the Coventry Cove course in Championship mode until you see a barn on the right side of the road with two haystacks in front of it. Drive through the hatstack on the left and you will smash a hidden crate with a picture of a flower on it; you'll also hear a voice say, ''Groovy!''. Note that the crate will not be there unless you are playing in Championship mode. Once you've smashed the crate, finish the race; the words ''Cheat Menu Activated'' will appear at the Player Results screen. Now return to the main menu and access the Options screen; you'll find a new option called ''Cheats'' at the bottom. Each item on the cheat menu must be ''unlocked'' before you can used it; you will unlock a new cheat each time you smash a flower crate in Championship mode. Some of the crates are very well hidden, so you're going to have to do a lot of searching to find them.

Cheat option

Begin game play in one player championship mode on the Coventry Cove track. Locate the shortcut near the barn with two haystacks. Intentionally drive into the haystack closest to the track and hit the Daisy Box hidden inside. The word "Groovy" will confirm correct trick entry. Successfully complete the race. A "Cheats" selection will now appear on the options screen.

Glitch: Echoing horn

Go into a tunnel with the horn on. Hold the horn button while going out of the tunnel and the sound will continue to echo.

Glitch: Fall into water

When your car falls and lands outside the road area (i.e., outside the formatted area), it will automatically fall into water at ground level.

Glitch: Fall through level

Go to Coventry Cove's Stonehedge. Try to go up the hill beside the dirt road at an intense speed from the other side. If done correctly, you should fly off the hill, over the boundary hill, and fall into the sky where you will eventually go under water.

Glitch: No horn

Crash into any object, then hold C-Right immediately after hitting it. When game play resumes, the horn sound will be disabled, but will actually still be considered on by the game.

Glitch: Slow down in mid-air

Go into to any race and go off a jump. Hit the brakes in mid-air and the speed of the car will slow down.

Hint: Car spins

Select a car with bad steering and high speed/acceleration. Go to a track with jumps, such as Inferno Isle. Immediately before the jump, slam on the hand brake (not the regular brake) at the same time you turn left or right. Note: A few attempts may be needed.

Hint: Coventry Coves Daisy Boxes



There are two hay stacks where the barn is located. The one nearest to the road contains a Daisy Box.

Shortly after that barn is another shortcut leading into a lot of stones. Some of them are on top of each other. The last one on the left that has three stones on top of each other and has a Daisy Box on the other side of it.

After the town (and after the jump) is a crane. Look behind your car while you are passing it. There is an opening in a big stone wall large enough for your car. Drive through the opening to find a Daisy Box.

Hint: Get above wall

Go to the airport in multi-player mode and go on top in the far corner (on the side opposite from the tower). Accelerate along the edge, with the tower on your right. Jump off the other end onto the grass above the rock wall. Try getting more than one player up there and try to knock each other off.

Hint: Inferno Isle Daisy Boxes



Hit the last hut before the finish line (along the small path to the left). Run over the Daisy Box to unlock the Beetle Battle Time Limits cheat.

Before the Jurassic Park is a shortcut to the right. Follow the shortcut and slow down while you are approaching the big hut so while you are in the air from the jump you can put on your handbrakes. If done correctly, you can stay on the wooden platform that the hut is on. Break open the hut and on the far right of the platform is a Daisy Box.

In the town, the first shortcut on the right has two small jumps. On the second jump, hold Analog-Stick Left because there is an opening there. If you land on top of it, drop your car on the roof of the building, where another Daisy Box is located.

Hint: Inferno Isle: Shortcuts



When you first enter the village, stop and look to your left. You will see a tunnel. Go in it for a big jump.


When you leave the village, on the water you will see a dock. Go on the dock and keep going off the jumps in the shortcut to find yourself near the lava cave.


Instead of going on the dock shortcut after the village, keep going on the normal path. Look closely to your right. You will find a steep uphill path leading to jumps and the lava cave.


When you get to the broken bridge, fall down under the bridge look for a little cave. There is a big shortcut there.

Hint: Metro Madness: Shortcut

Drive at full speed through the gap in the first barrier you reach. Then, drive off the jump and aim to the left, so that the car lands on the grass. Drive down the grassy verge and back onto the road. This will put you about twenty seconds ahead of the other cars. However, this can only be performed on the first lap.

Hint: Mount Mayhem Daisy Boxes



Locate the ski fest in the town. There is a hole in the short little wall where you can go through into a jump. Jump in at such an angle to get on a pretty flat piece of land that is way left of where the hole is. You probably will hit the wall, but if you go backwards far enough you will find a Daisy Box.

After a big jump inside some type of a crystal cave, there is a large orange bridge that slopes down and goes back up. After the bridge is a tunnel. Look behind you at the end of the tunnel to see a Daisy Box. Turn around and run over it.

In the cave near where you found the second Daisy Box, instead going straight through, go to the ramp immediately before the entrance of the second crystal cave. There is a platform high above the exit. Make the jump and keep going until you get to a fork in the cave. Go to your left and you will cross a bridge. After you cross the bridge, look behind you and you will find a Daisy Box.

Hint: Mount Mayhem: Shortcut

When you get to the shortcut with the tunnel before the big loop, do not take it. Instead, go towards the big loop and just where the wall ends, slow down and go left until you go into the small tunnel.

Hint: Sunset Sands Daisy Boxes



At the beginning of the race, go right and drive through a space in between two tall rocks. Continue up the hill of sand it turns flat to find a Daisy Box.

When you turn on the game, it will display a shortcut for each course. Note the Sunset Sands shortcut that is shown has a Daisy Box. In the shortcut, the first Daisy Box is in a tight space which turns harshly and then has a jump onto a straight and flat surface followed by another jump. Once you land use the handbrake and turn right, facing the wall. Drive up to it and turn right again. Drive forward until you reach the Daisy Box.

There is a Daisy Box in the village (city). Brake all the boxes in that area to find it.

Hint: Sunset Sands: Shortcut

After you jump the big wooden ramp, go up the path and find a place where two sand dunes are next to each other, forming a path. Go into that path and you will jump two times. When you go up a ramp, leading into the temple, be sure to hit the wooden gates. A loud "creak" will sound. Go past the water fountains and towards the wall with a big ">>>" sign. Turn right and slam into one of the nitro packs. Drive up the ramp and jump off the temple roof. Stop, by using the brakes and hand brakes if needed. Go to the red octagon and you will see a sign that reads "Good Things Happen To Those Who Wait". Honk the horn and the red shape will act like an elevator to bring you down into a shortcut.

Hint: View from top of level

Go to multi-player mode with any number players in the airport and get a nitro (boost). Start up the ramp on the side, but near the top, turn off so that you are vertical against the wall. Activate the boost and you will shoot up. You can pause game play when at the top and the screen will look around and give a good view. Note: Sometimes you will go over the trees and in the water.

Hint: Winning Championship races

When you are on the last lap of any championship race, as long as you only less than a minute from the finish line, you can find the boxes with as much time as required. Although you may finish in last place in the race, you are probably just getting the Point Boxes so you can unlock the multiplayer stages, and it does not matter what place you come in for unlocking them. For example for Wicked Woods, you can go through the Cathedral glass and the one inside, but above in the Cathedral. You can also get the point boxes in the middle of the town on the last lap and have unlimited time to get them without getting disqualified. This earns a total of 22 points: 10 points for the Cathedral glass, 5 points for above, and 7 points in middle of town.
