Each vehicle is graded in the following areas:
Destructive Power (DP), Speed (S), and Ease of
Use (EU).
Vehicle DP S EU
Backlash A C D
Ballista B A C
Cars (Police, Van, etc.) E A A
Cyclone Suit B B C
J-Bomb A B B
Ram Dozer B B A
Skyfall B A B
Side Swipe A B B
Thunderfist Plus B B C
1. How do I get all the vehicles in Argent
Towers?
First, use the Backlash to destroy all
the buildings that it can. Then, use it
to push the large grey block out from in
front of the ramp. Get out of the
Backlash, go down the ramp and get into
the Ram Dozer. Use it to push the TNT
block over to the wooden door. When the
door is destroyed, get out of the Ram
Dozer and climb into the Train (you won't
be able to see it). Drive the Train
through the tunnel until you get to the
Ballista. Use the Ballista's missiles to
destroy the wooden door down in the pit
on the right side of the area. Get out of
the Ballista, walk down the ramp into the
pit and go through the long tunnel (you
will only see your driver's shadow as he
is walking underground) until you come to
the J-Bomb.
2. How do I destroy the flashing tower in
Argent Towers?
Use the Motorcycle's missiles to destroy
the flashing tower. It is one of the
buildings that must be destroyed to
achieve 100%. How do I do find the
Scientist in Argent Towers? The flashing
tower is actually a marker for a hidden
tunnel. Go back into the tunnel and you
will find another tunnel going off to the
left at the flashing tower. You will find
a Police Car that will help you navigate
the maze. The Scientist is at the end of
the maze.
3. How do I find the Scientist?
The flashing tower is actually a marker
for a hidden tunnel. Go back into the
tunnel and you will find another tunnel
going off to the left at the flashing
tower. You will find a Police Car that
will help you navigate the maze. The
Scientist is at the end of the maze.

Havoc District
1. Why can't I get 100% of the buildings in
this course?
This course has some difficult things to
find that need to be destroyed to earn
100%. There are four lights on the top of
the bridge that need to be destroyed.
Also, there is an island with RDUs and a
lighthouse in the Southwest corner of the
area. There are five silver balls out in
the water that must destroyed as well.
2. How do I get to those tunnels underneath
the water?
Use the J-Bomb to get on top of the cliff
above the Semi. You will find a darker
patch of grass near the cliff edge. Step
on the patch and you will drop down to
the tunnels. Use the Muscle Car to go
down the next tunnel and more RDUs.
-----------------------------------------------
Tempest City
1. How do I get 100% of all the buildings?
On the far right side of the area, you
will find a large gray building with
lights around its sides. If you shoot the
middle part of the building, the light
will go out. Keep shooting until you
destroy that section of the building. It
takes a lot of missiles, so it may not
look like you are doing damage to it.
When destroyed, you will have access to a
ramp to get up to the top. You will find
a Communication Tower, the rest of the
Buildings and the first Scientist.
-----------------------------------------------
Beeton Tracks
1. How am I supposed to destroy that big
building near the end of the tracks?
This may be your first encounter with the
Crane. You need to drive the Ram Dozer
onto the Crane's platform, get out of the
Ram Dozer and assume the controls of the
Crane. Place the Ram Dozer on the other
side of the tracks so that you can push
the TNT Crate into the building.
-----------------------------------------------
Echo Marches
1. Where are the two Communication Towers?
The first one you will probably find is
near where you pick up the barge. The
second one is a bit trickier to find.
Near the Semi, if you look in the open
field, you will find a tall, narrow tower
of rock. There is a rock platform at the
top of the tower. Use J-Bomb to fly up to
it.
2. What am I supposed to do with the arrows
pointing to the train track and the moat?
You will need to bring the Train over to
the ramps and move the Barge to make a
bridge. I suggest that you take your
J-Bomb only to the first tunnel, exit the
J-Bomb and run the Man through the tunnel
to get to the train. That way, you won't
have far to go to get back into the
J-Bomb. You can drive the Muscle Car
through the tunnel, but time is of the
essence in this course!
-----------------------------------------------
Ironstone Mine
1. How do I find the Scientist in this course?
You will need to use all of the vehicles
availble in this stage. Near the end of
the stage, you will find a Train that you
will need to back-up all the way to the
end of the tracks. Exit the train, cross
the pedestrian bridge and follow the path
unti you locate the Ram Dozer. Drive the
Ram Dozer onto the Crane's platform. Set
the platform down on the other side of
the tracks. Use the Ram Dozer to push the
TNT Crate into the large building. This
will open a tunnel filled with RDUs. This
is the hiding spot of the scientist.
-----------------------------------------------
Ebony Coast
1. How do I find the Scientist in this course?
This is one of the trickier Scientists to
find. Near the beginning of the stage,
you will see some grey stones blocking
the train track. To destroy the grey
stones, use the Ram Dozer to push the TNT
Crate into them. On the other side of the
tunnel, you will see an "Easter Island"
statue (J-Bomb is inside it). Once you
have cleared the tracks, take the Ram
Dozer and the Train all the way to the
train station at the end of the tracks.
Use the Ram Dozer to destroy the train
station. Be careful not to activate the
TNT Crate. When everything is cleared
away, use the Ram Dozer to push the TNT
Crate onto the Train's flatbed. Get out
of the Ram Dozer, get into the Train and
back it up all the way to the "Easter
Island" statue. This TNT Crate has a slow
detonation time, so you will have time to
back it up all the way. Make sure to
position the TNT Crate so that it is next
to the statue. When the statue is
destoyed, you will have access to the
J-Bomb. The Scientist is in a hidden cove
to the right of the tunnel that the
Missile Truck drove through..
2. How do I get 100% RDUs and Buildings?
Using the J-Bomb, find the large island
in the Northwest corner of this area. The
island has a large "field hieroglyphic"
of a man holding a spear. Near the there
will be three more "Easter Island"
statues and a bunch of RDUs near the
northern tip of the island.
-----------------------------------------------
Glory Crossing
1. How do I find the Scientist?
If you drive straight ahead in the
direction that the Semi is pointing, you
will find a tunnel that goes to the
Scientist.
-----------------------------------------------
Crystal Rift
1. How do I get the Van?
Use the Ram Dozer to push the dark gray
block out of the first tunnel. Keep
pushing it to the other side of the road
into the next tunnel. The block will fall
into position and allow you to drive the
Ram Dozer through the tunnel and get the
Van.
-----------------------------------------------
Oyster Harbor
1. How am I supposed to get through this
stage?!?
Start off by using the Ballista's
missiles to destroy the first set of
containers in the Truck's path. Next,
destroy the containers that block the
path to the Ram Dozer. Exit the Ballista,
run down the ramp and get into the Ram
Dozer. Quickly clear the rest of the
containers in the Truck's path. Clear a
path to the right of where you got the
Ram Dozer and you will find a number of
TNT Crates. Exit the Ram Dozer, climb
into the Crane and bring the platform
around to the Ram Dozer. Exit the Crane,
jump back into the Ram Dozer and use it
to push a TNT Crate onto the platform.
Exit the Ram Dozer, get back into the
crane and swing the platform around so
that the TNT Crate will be detonated on
the middle of building.
Note: This building can be destroyed
piece by piece, so be sure to detonate
the TNT Crate at the place indicated by
the arrows! To detonate the TNT Crate,
lower the platform onto the building.
Exit the Crane, jump back into the Ram
Dozer and drive to the new area that
you've just opened up. You will see a
bunch of holes in the ground that must be
filled with the different shaped blocks.
Use the Ram Dozer to push the first block
into the first hole. Next, destroy the
two blue-roofed buildings to the right of
the first block/hole. You will see a hole
that must be filled with the second
block. This will give you access to two
more blocks.
You can save time by pushing both of
these blocks into the main area at the
same. Fill in the rest of the holes until
you get to the last one. You will find
the last block behind the two large, red
fuel tanks over to the right of where all
the holes are. The next obstacles are the
three Barges that must be moved into
position. Go past the first and second
Barges and stop on the deck of the third.
Get into the Barge, back it all the way
up into position and then drive the Ram
Dozer to the pedestrian bridge. Cross the
bridge, run to the left to the second
Barge and back it up into position.
Depending on the postion of the Truck and
its distance to the first Barge, this
next step can be done before the Truck
passes the first Barge or after. Drive
the Ram Dozer onto the deck of the first
Barge. Sail it all the way forward and
use the Ram Dozer to push the TNT Crate
onto the deck. Sail the Barge back into
position for the Truck and push the TNT
Crate all the way to the end. There will
be a large building that can only be
destroyed with the TNT Crate.
2. How do I get the Scientist in this course?
Once you have completed the area, go back
in and work your way back to the Barges.
As in the first time around, load the TNT
Crate onto the first barge. Use the TNT
Crate to destroy the white blocks that
serve as the stopping point for the third
Barge. Get back in the Barge and back it
all the way up to the Scientist.
-----------------------------------------------
Jade Plateau
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Muscle Car since it doesn't
lose any speed on the dirt or swamp.
Using this car, you can take the shortcut
to the right after you cross the first
bridge without losing any speed.
-----------------------------------------------
Salvage Wharf
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
The Ram Dozer since it makes up in
destructive power and ease of use from
what it lacks in speed.
-----------------------------------------------
Marine Quarter
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Van since it combines high
speed with tight cornering; perfect for
any race course on streets.
-----------------------------------------------
Twilight Foundry
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Ram Dozer since it combines size
(you won't have to run right over the RDU to
activate it) and destructive power with easy
handling.
-----------------------------------------------
Cooter Creek
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Muscle Car since it doesn't lose
speed in the off-road areas. You can cut
across the rocks to shorten your laps.
-----------------------------------------------
Skerries
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Van due to its high-speed
and excellent handling. There is a
short-cut after the second bridge. Look
for the indentation on the rock wall and
you can drive right through a hidden
tunnel.
-----------------------------------------------
Sleek Streets
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
The Van since it combines high speed with
excellent handling.
-----------------------------------------------
Moraine Chase
1. What's the best vehicle to use?
Probably the Muscle Car since it doesn't
lose speed in the off-road areas. You can
cut across the rocks to shorten your
laps. If you cut across the rocks after
the third stone "gate," you can cut down
on your lap time.
-----------------------------------------------
FAQs
Why can't I use the Sideswipe's jackhammer
(or) the Ballista's missiles anymore?
The jackhammer and missiles are limited
items. If you run out, drive past an ammo
crate to pick up more. Ammo crates are
usually scattered throughout a stage that
uses the Sideswipe or Ballista.
How do I know if I've found everything in a
particular course?
If you go back out to the World Map
screen, the Course will be circled in
Red. If it is circled in Green, then you
have missed something--usually a
Communication Tower.
I went back in the stage, completed more of
the goals, but now it doesn't show?
If you go back into a stage to work on
achieving 100% in all categories, make
sure you exit the stage through the Semi.
This is the only way to save your
progress!
What does this Radar do for me?
The Radar in this game gives the general
position of the Semi in relation to where
you are located. If the Yellow Block (the
Semi) is at the top of the Radar, then
you need to go straight up to get to it.
How do I get 100% in this Course!
In order to grab the gold medal in each
course, you'll need to get 100% in
several categories. Luckily, most of the
categories are linked in some way. First,
you will need to destroy all of the
builings. This, in turn, will allow you
to locate all of the Survivors. Finally,
you'll need to locate all the RDUs. This
can be the most difficult category to
complete since the RDUs are often
well-hidden. Be sure to use all the
available vehicles to search every square
inch of the course. RDUs are often in
groups, so make sure you didn't skip one
in a long line of them. GPC Note: Check
the Common Questions for the individual
courses if someone is having a lot of
difficulty finding 100% in a particular
course.
How do I erase the game on the Memory Chip?
Press the Start button when you turn on
the Nintendo 64. An Game Erase Option
Screen will appear.

Codes, Hints and Tricks
When your in a level where you are going
around a race course, after you finish the
number of laps it says to do, do the race again
with another vehical. Now when you start, you'll
be racing a ghost car. The ghost car will be the
vehical that you just used and will do everything
you did in the last race (like in Mario Kart).
