Mountain Dew dragster:

Fifth Mountain Dew can:
Even though there are only supposed to be four cans per level, a fifth can is located on the Hawaii track. Take the shortcut behind the caution signs. After jumping off the buildings, keep accelerating and stay to the left. Jump over the small, barely noticeable grass ramp that appears to the left. Your car should launch through a tree, where the can is hidden. It has no apparent purpose and does not disappear.

Extra time in practice mode:
Even though the instruction booklet states that keys and cans are not used in practice mode, they may be collected for 999 seconds of time.

Switch control directions:
Highlight the "Mirror" selection on the Options screen. Hold C-Left + C-Right + C-Up + C-Down and press Left or Right to access an "Extreme" option.

Tag mode:
Select practice mode with two players. Repeatedly tap C-Up during the countdown after both players have selected their cars. When game play begins, the word "It" will appear on player two's part of the screen. The player that is not "It" becomes "It" when their car is destroyed. A timer will keep track of how long the current player has been "It".

View credits:
After finishing a race on any track, except for Half Pipe, in any place, return to the very first screen and rapidly tap A. The screen should begin cycling through the fastest times. Keep tapping A and it will eventually display the credits.

Hint: Under the stunt course:
Enable the cheat menu and the "Super Speed" and "Resurrect In Place" codes. Select the stunt track at the track selection screen, then choose a fast car, such as the prototype or Mountain Dew dragster. Begin the race, then turn to the left and drive around the mountain in the middle. The green quarter pipe will be at this location. Hit it at an angle on the right side, so that the front of your car will end up pointing right above the "out of bounds" wall. This is very easy to do if your car can reach 280 km/h. Your car should fly over the wall into a black area with points awarded. Look in front of your car to see the bottom of the stunt course. If not, turn around to find it. Drive around to view the course from underneath. Your car will move slowly at first, but can eventually gain more speed. To return to the top of the stunt track, press C-Up(2).

Hint: Float in the air:
This trick may be used to easily collect keys and cans. Enable the cheat menu and the "Levitation" and "Resurrect In Place" codes. Select a track and the Rocket Car. Locate a key or can, then drive under it. Keep pressing C-Up to float in the air and collect the item. If the item is located out of bounds, point the front of the car at the target. Keep pressing C-Up again and press A to use the Rocket Car's thrust feature to move forward. Note: You can not turn while using this maneuver.

Hint: Easy air time points:
Enable the cheat menu and the "Levitation", "Game Time" (for unlimited time) and "Resurrect In Place" codes. Select the stunt course and continuously press C-Up to rise up in the air. Allow your car to fall after getting enough altitude to get more than 350 air time points.

Hint: Easy halfpipe:
On the course with the halfpipe, simply accelerate. Your car will be on the side of the wall and will not crash. Note: You can not do this with the Rocket Car.

Hint: Easy first place:
Enable the "Suicide" and "Invincible" codes, and turn on "Deaths". Start a race and just touch the other cars to destroy them. When all the other cars have been removed, you can finish the race or intentionally destroy yourself by flipping over. Note: You must be in front of the destroyed cars when you car flips in order to place first.

Hint: Glide sideways:
Enable the "Resurrect In Place", "Levitation", and "Unlimited Time" codes to reach the top of buildings and keys over water easily. Then, set the wind to full speed and choose a course. Repeatedly press Abort to rise in the air, then stop to glide sideways in the direction the wind is blowing. If you do this high enough in the air and at the right position you can reach just about any can or key.

Hint: Kill the Drones:
Enable the "Auto-Abort" code, the start a death race on a track with a lot of jumps, such as Seattle, Alcatrez, Hawaii, or Crash. Set the wind and difficulty to maximum. Watch as the other cars fly side ways and go off the track, hit buildings, and flip over.

Hint: Mountain Dew cans in Alcatraz:
Although there are only supposed to be four Mountain Dew cans in each level, eight can be found in Alcatraz. It helps if the following codes are enabled on cheat menu: "Damage", "Invincibility", "Levitation", "Game Timer", "Resurrect In Place", and "Super Speed". The locations of the cans are as follows.

The first can is behind a bush on the left before you get to the "bridge."

The second can is in the air between the checkpoint and the tunnel shortcut. Levitate to get it.

The third can is above the hill that shoots you up to the roof of the Alcatraz building. Levitate to get it.

The fourth can is on the roof of Alcatraz. Levitate to get it.

The fifth can is in the air at the exit of the tunnel shortcut. Levitate to get it.

The sixth can is in the out-of-bounds green area under the loop-to-loop. To get it, get in the right spot on the loop, fall, and try to fall on it.

The seventh can is out in the ocean after the loop.

The eighth can is on a pathway. To get it, stay on the road after the loop and ocean cans. Stay on the right on the turn and swerve to the left at the jump. This should bring you to the building on the far left. Keep going and follow the arrows. When you get on a "path", turn around to see the eighth can.
