Chicago Crash
As you begin the Chicago race you will be on the freeway. After the first two turns you should see a broken down car. If you hit the car just right (causing it to FLY through the air) it will land in front of the first place person.

Easy Upgrades
Here's a faster way to update cars in a two-player game.

Start a two-player game, and race until you reach Washington D.C. When the DC race begins, press Start and quit the game.

Next, have player #1 return to Washington D.C. and upgrade his car. After player #1 has finished, player #2 should do the same thing. Happy cruising!

Flashing Lights and Siren
Start a new race as the School Bus or Police Car. While playing, tap Brake, Brake, Gas to flash your lights and/or sound your siren.

Lost Wheels
After a two-player challenge game, the losing player's right front wheel will fall off if you continuously rotate the analog joystick clockwise. This should happen after the car rotates 3-4 times. Talk about driving till the wheels fall off!

Nitro Boost
Enable the "Secret Head" code, then start a new race. While driving, press Brake, Brake, Brake, Gas, Brake, Gas after each checkpoint for a nitro boost. This won't increase your top speed, but it will increase your acceleration.

Secret Head
To view the secret head, make a "Hot Time" on any stage. Enter your initials and scroll down to the bottom of the screen, then hold Left on the analog stick for about 35 seconds. A head should come moving down the conveyer belt saying "I love this job."

Turbo Boost
While driving, pump the gas twice and you will do a wheelie and it will give you a turbo boost.
