In one or two player mode, when you select your
car, use L and R to change the color of the car's body.
Italy Shortcut
Go to the Italy track in CRUISE THE WORLD mode.
After you pass the 2nd or 3rd checkpoint you will drive down a
tree-lined road. The second before you come out
of that little alcove of trees you'll see a ramp to your right. Drive up
that ramp
to save some time.
NOTE: There
is a jump at the end of it so make sure you hit your boost!
Kenya Shortcut
Go to Kenya in (Practice or regular)Cruis the
world mode. After the 3rd checkpoint, at the first right turn (it
really pops up on
you) the road splits in two, but you have to
veer right. you will be going straight at a ramp and then you will see
an elephant
right before you hit the jump. That's the shortcut!
Power Boost
While racing press A, A quickly to do a wheelie
and speed up.
Race on the Moon
To race on the Moon you have to beat the WHOLE
game (including Florida). Beat Florida and you'll see your car get picked
up by a helicopter and dropped into a rocket.
Then it will show the rocket liftoff into space. You'll land on the Moon
and here a
man say, "We're cruisn' now!" Wait for the credits
to end. When they're finished you'll see a tiny box that say "Moon expert".
GET READY FOR SOME ROAD TWISTING BUMPY HARDNESS!
Ride on Two Wheels

then quickly push the control stick to the left while pressing the gas.

Short Cuts
Hawaii - Near
the beginning in Hawaii there are road signs telling you to turn. On the
left side turn at the first sign, then immediately there will be another
sign, ram into that sign and go straight and you will be on a short cut.
When you see a bunch of barrels on the left side
on a turn without a curb, drive into the forest and you'll go through a
shortcut
and you'll jump over all the cars.
Great Wall of China - When
you see a lighthouse to the left drive towards it and take the path. Keep
going straight.
New York - In
New York on the last two tunnels take any of the off ramps on the side.
Mexico - In
Mexico at the Aztec Temple, go into the brush to right to the temple and
there will be a jump and a shortcut.
Australia - A
little while after the 1st checkpoint there will be a dirt path on the
left. Take it, bust through the fence and get ready for another jump.

Turbo Boost
When any race is about to start, you'll hear
"Ready...Set...Go". As this is starting, hold down the accelerator just
after you hear
"Set". If your timing is just right, you will
get a turbo boost to start the race. This trick may take practice, but
well worth the time
and effort.
