• Better control

While you are in the air, do not move the steering -- when you land you will go into a spin. It is best to tap the steering when you land to regain control. When you take corners, tap the steering as you navigate the corner. If you hold [Left] or [Right], the car may spin (especially on the Arctic tracks). | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Bonus game and gold brick

For the bonus game on sandy beach, drive to the top of the biggest hill when you're in adventure mode and not racing. There will be a small tornado. Drive into it and you get the taxi service minigame. If you beat it, then you get a power up. After you get that, drive down the hill and there should be a ledge with a gold brick on it. | [Sent by spazzzer]

• Brick Boost power-up

Use the Brick Boost to gain speed at essential times in a race. The Brick Boost can also be used to correct yourself if you are going into a spin. Also, if you use a ramp or a jump, hold down [Brick Boost] as you land and to speed off without bouncing along and losing speed. If it is a close race you may want to save your Brick Boost for the last lap, where a sudden surge of speed could win the race for you. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Create an 18 wheeler

Go to "Build" and place four black or gray pieces then a two or three piece in the same colors. Add a big or small four square piece that is black. Note: You should also create someone who looks like a truck driver. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Faster Car

Create a driver in adventure mode. Then enter FSTFRWRD as the driver name to make your car go faster without getting any power upgrades from the minigames. This cheat may make enemy cars go faster too. | [Sent by strykout]

• Mars track(s)

Pause game play then press [Left] [Left] [Right] [Right] [Left] [Left] [Right] [Right] [Down] [Left] [Right]. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• More On The Berg

To add a little bit to the previous code, I will explain a little more on the Berg. At the beginning of the race, he will leap in front before the three red lights go. He will create stalagmites behind him. Do not run into the stalagmites; they will (occasionally) hurt your car and will slow your car down. To beat him, you basically need to get your car in front of him, and then you've got the race finished. You will know if you're far behind him when the stalagmites he releases melts. | [Sent by Krekka]

• Pit-Lanes

Do not forget to use the Pit-Lanes to repair your vehicle when you are in a race. This is very important when you are racing on Mars and Xalax where your car can get damaged a lot. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Play as a Martian

Press [Right] [Left] [Right] [Up] [Down] [Left] [Right] [Up] [Up] at the main menu (front end). | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Prizes

If you beat the minigames unlocked on each level, you get the chance to get power ups. The power ups available are speed, grip and shield. Remember, speed means nothing if you fly off the track at every turn, so grip is important too. | [Sent by spazzzer]

• Quick start

At the beginning of a race, you can avoid being pushed around by other racers using a turbo start. It can give you an extra bit of distance between you and the other racers. Press [Accelerate] at just the right time. Learn how to judge when the lights will change to green at the beginning of the race - try counting and with practice you will get it. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Reigel

On Mars, you will race against Riegel, the head Martian. He drives a giant mech with amazing shields. He cannot be hurt by power-ups, but he cannot pick them up. This race is about pure speed. If you defeat him, Riegel will give you a Martian shield generator to make your car tougher. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Rigels track: Shortcut

There is a shortcut where the tunnel full of water is located. When you enter, there is a waterfall to your left. Go through it and you will be close to first. Note: If you are going through it for the first time you will find a Gold Brick. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Rocket Racer track (Xalax, Grand Finale)

It is best to avoid the ramps as you can lose speed and control when you land. It is better to weave in and out of all the ramps and barriers, keeping up a constant speed. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Sam Sinister

On Dino Island, you will meet Sam Sinister. He will use all the power-ups, but he can also be hurt by your power-ups. If you defeat him, he will give you a much better engine that will increase your speed. The easiest way to defeat Sam Sinister is to destroy his car. Do not do this when he is near a Pit-Lane. Also try knocking him off the large spiral. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Shunting

If another racer is just in front of your car, it is possible to knock them into a spin. Try bumping one of the corners of their car. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Speed Boost

At the start of a race, hold accelerate when the last red light turns on. You need to be precise in your timing to get the full boost. If you hold it down too early or too late, you will get a short boost or no boost at all. | [Sent by spazzzer]

• The Berg

In the Arctic, you will be challenged by the Berg, a large ice monster who does not even need a car. Like Riegel, he cannot pick up weapons, nor is he affected by them. The Berg can create giant ice stalagmites behind him, though -- drive carefully. If you defeat him, he will give you super-grip wheels. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• The Berg's track: Shortcut

When you race The Berg, look out for the hidden shortcuts on the track. One is hidden in the cave. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Vehicle add-ons

Vehicle add-ons are won by completing bonus games and beating Bosses. Power is nothing without control, so do not get too many Power add-ons without getting Grip add-ons. | [Sent by DayleJ]

• Wide-angle mode

Pause game play then press [Left] [Left] [Left] [Right] [Right] [Right] [Up] [Up] [Up] [Down] [Down] [Down] [Left] [Left] [Left] [Right] [Right] [Right]. | [Sent by DayleJ]
