Access Nitros Oxide’s Space Ship
To unlock the Nitros’ spacecraft, you must possess four Boss Keys
Immediately past the start/finish line is a channel through the rocks that allows you to cut across and miss the first left hand turn. A mask obviously makes this faster, so the snow will not slow you down.
At the first frozen lake, power slide left and jump over ravine. You will land just past tunnel bridge. A mask helps here, but is not necessary.
After making the right hand turn after the tunnel bridge, look on your left. There is a channel through the rocks that cuts across the left hand curve. With a mask, you can hit the hill on the right side of the passage and jump the guardrail to cut across. |
Submitted by falkenIn that battle arena press R1 on a ramp wall then you'll be able to jump up a ramp instead of going up the ramp. |
Submitted by lloydWhile racing on Cortex Castle, shortly after the two spiders and past the flight of stairs, you will see a path that goes up into the castle. Go to the far right side and drive diagonally left, up the hill. When you get to the very peak of the hill, jump and you should land on a path that is cut off from the main raceway. This trick is hard to do but is extremely effective. |
Submitted by falkenNear the beginning of the track is a ramp with two fruit boxes at the end of it, just before a small lake. Stay to the right of the ramp and begin turning left toward the mountain once you pass the ramp. You will be driving through the lake. You will have to practice this, but it dips right before you would run into the mountain. As your head goes completely underwater, hold Jump. You will jump onto the shortcut and can pick up a box before jumping back down and rejoining the race near the bridge. You can begin your turn when you pass the single star on the ground just to the right of the ramp. You will be jumping onto the land that is connected to the bridge that you drive under which leads out to that boat to your right.
Turn left immediately after the first jump when you land in the water. Jump at the very left edge of this pond. You will land on a ledge which allows you to gain a second or two of time. This is very difficult to perform, and requires practice to get the correct. It is the only way to get the "T" on the Crash Cove CTR Challenge. |
Submitted by falkenIn Adventure, when you are playing Crash Cove, go off of the ramp and push jump to turbo. Go through the water and it will bounce you up. Push jump again and make a right onto the bridge once you make it up, and you will get the letter. Don't go on that ship because it is a dead end.
Look for a wall to hide behind.
Place a Poison Potion, TNT Crate, or throw a Bowling Bomb at the last second. Note: If done with Nitro Crates, the explosion will hit you. If you have one, drop it moments before and continue in a straight line.
Try to hide behind other player.
Jump at the last second. The rocket will explode, but it will not damage you. Recommended for experts only.
Power slide from left to right frequently. If done correctly, the rocket will miss you and hit the wall or other players.
Fire a rocket backwards. As the player who launched it to you was the nearest, the nearest player to you may be him. The rockets may crash with each other. |
Submitted by falkenAbout a quarter of the way through the race is a railroad track with coal cars on it that go to the right. Follow the coal cars into the tunnel in the side of the wall, then follow the railroad track until it appears at the middle section of the track. You will get run over by the coal cars, but you will still end up ahead.
Before the end of the lap is a blue brick road and sand. Instead of going through the sand, cut through the blue brick road with a mask and go to the finish line. |
Submitted by falkenBefore you have to race against Oxide again you have to get all the time relics, luckily you don't have to get all of them as sapphire or gold or platinum. Anyways Oxide's race stratedgy will be the same so you can intercept it. |
Submitted by KennethAt the title screen ( where you choose adventure, arcade, VS etc. ) hold L1 + R1 and press, right, right, left, triangle, right, down, down. You will hear a sound. This unlocks three battle arenas and one race track. |

Submitted by BryanGet Unlimited Bombs and Rockets etc.
First you need to get unlimited bombs by going to the main title screen and holding R1+L1, then press triangle, forward, down, forward, up, triangle, back. Then during a race, you will need to run over a red potion bottle, then you will lose your unlimited bombs. Next you will have to drive into a question mark box and whatever you get will be unlimited for that race. |
Submitted by DavidandTony.Apart from the obvious piece of track in the first jump, if super turbo pads are enabled, at the last big jump (where a blimp is across), jump at the last second to your right side. If done correctly, you will be at the entrance of the blimp, in front of the start line. |

There is a shortcut that can be used with a mask. Immediately following the first sandtrap/jump area, turn left with a mask activated. This leads through a stalagmite-stalactite area that shortcuts a long curve. |
Submitted by falkenTo unlock N. Oxide as a playable character, not only do you need to defeat him in all the time trial levels, you also need to complete the game 100% (complete all cups in arcade mode, complete adventure mode, have all relics, all gems, all ctrs etc.) You cannot play as him in adventure mode. He is the fastest racer by far and he seems to have perfect speed, acceleration, and turning. |
Submitted by falkenAt the title screen, hold L1 and R1. Press down, left, right, up, down, right, right. You should hear a sound, and now you may drive as N. Tropy. |

Submitted by NathanD.In Papu's Pyramid, go to the part where steps appear. Go on the right side where the turbo is located. Hit it and immediately go left and jump onto the ledge. Follow it and you will jump right onto the bridge and get an apple box.
In Papu Pyramid, before you get to the turn before the stairs, there are two bars that have arrows pointing to the right. Go between them, but keep to the right and jump at the last second to land on a hidden ledge. Then, jump off it. If done correctly, you will land on the other shortcut, or be lined up for it.
There is a jump on the way to the hairpin turn by the finish line . If you time a jump perfectly, you can get across to the other side. This trick has a near 100% chance if done with Aku Aku/Uka Uka or a speed boost. Also, when you approach the other end of the track, release X and press Circle + Right to turn in the air so you do not fall off the other end.
There is a big jump to a big turn near the piranha plants. Use a mask or turbo on the big jump and take a hard right turn to land on the downward slope. Note: To do this without a mask, do the second shortcut then jump off. When you are close the third shortcut, make sure you are in the middle. Drive to the left and use the hill next to the wall as a ramp and jump. This trick requires practice and is easier if you are either Tiny, N. Trophy, or Dingodile. |

Submitted by falkenThere is a wall before the jump at Polar Pass. Enable the "Unlimited masks" code and use it before the wall to jump over it.
When you travel through the cave near the end of the race you will see a wall with arrows pointing to the right. Go straight ahead and jump off the very peak of the hill. Take the sharpest turn possible to the left and you can go cut a lot of time off your run.
Enable the "Super turbo pads" code. Get to the turbo pad before the little jumps with pads. Go on the pad, then slightly bump into the wall and hop while turning right. You will go on the other side. You will have a 50% chance of making the jump on staying on the track.
When you are in the cave/tunnel, you can jump over the yellow and black arrows instead of doing that sharp corner. This will allow you to gain time.
Note: You do not need a mask for this shortcut, but it helps. At the first frozen lake, there are two open spaces on the left. If you take the first one, you will need a mask but it puts you fairly far ahead. The second one is slightly slower, but it will most likely move you up a few positions. |
Submitted by falkenCollect all four purple coins in the crystal levels of adventure mode. You will unlock a new driver names Fake Crash in time-trial mode, battle mode, and arcade mode. |
Submitted by falkenWhen you run into a question mark box, press the "O" button and your weapon will appear faster. You have to wait a little bit (about a second) to press the button. This code helps a lot in battle mode and could give you an edge. |
Submitted by Justin HartsfieldHold down the L1 and R1 buttons at the title screen, then press Right, Circle, Circle, Down, Up, Down, Right.
Get a mask and put it on at the last set of speed boosters. On the last jump, turn left and go to the left of the bones. Get back on the track just before the finish line.
At the end of the track, hit the turbo pad and drive slightly to the left. Jump and power slide to the goal. This should give you a two to three second advantage. |
Submitted by falkenAt the title screen, hold L1 + R1 and press up(2x), down, right(2x), left, right, triangle, right. The "Scrapbook" is now an option at the main menu. |
Submitted by BrianUrtzIn Sewer Speedway, you can take a shortcut that will enable you to go faster and end up ahead of the pack. This shortcut can be reached with a speed power-up. Go into the tunnels immediately after the first part. Stay on the left ledge and look above the right ledge. You will see a hole in the wall. Speed into it and follow the pathway.
Note: This shortcut can be reached without a speed power-up. When you get into the tunnels, stay on the right ledge. When you get to the first left-hand corner, start a sharp turn left so that you are about to drive onto the left ledge. Before getting onto the ledge, jump and turn 180 degrees and land back on the bank. You will get a hang time turbo. Drive across the track and jump as you are about to get onto the right ledge. If done correctly, you will be able to reach the hole. It may take some practice, but it is possible.
When you get to the hole in the wall after the fork (you can get there by using the floor as a ramp. for details, watch Oxide's ghost), instead of going to the other side, drop to the track. This is quicker, and you may get a fruit box. |
Submitted by falkenThere is a very sharp turn at Slide Coliseum. Get a Mask or Speedburst. Use the little hill as a ramp and jump over it. Drive straight and you will be at the end of the turn. |
Submitted by falkenWhen you are super sliding make shure you dont hold the direction you are sliding because you will spin out. |

Tiger Temple second short cut
When you get to the first tunnel, use the hills to go to the other side. Note: This may require accurate jumps. |
Submitted by falkenHalf way through the track where the radar shows the shortcut is a spot on the wall that has two rows of rectangles, with one row above the other. Both rows have five rectangles. The rectangles are positioned long ways up and down. Hit the wall and it will open. |
