Ending bonuses
Successfully complete the game to unlock the Free Run mode (no vehicles on the road), Free Run Twin mode (two player Free Run), and Credits options.
Hint: Better turns
When turning sharp corners, lightly tap the gas to turn sharper and slide less.
Hint: Big crashes
Get your turbo up and hit a bus or large truck. You should get at least $100,000 in damage.
Hint: Full bonus
Drive a perfect lap (a lap without any accidents) and your bonus will be automatically filled.
Hint: Increase boost
Drive on the wrong side of the road to keep increasing your boost. This can also be done by driving in the center of a double lane.
Drive in the wrong side of the road and use the turbo when you get it. After it is gone, your turbo will either be full or half full.
To achieve turbo, go very close to other cars that are not in the race. Very carefully, turn the opposing way. It will say "Near Miss." That will help the bar on your left-down corner to boost up. If you crash, you will lose most of your boost.
Hint: Interstate: Flip car off track
Select the sports coupe as your car and the Interstate track. On the two lane highway section of the track with the dirt median in the center, get a turbo boost. Use the turbo to gain speed. At the end of the stretch of road will be the green arrows directing you to the exit. Just off to the right of the arrows there will be a metal barrier. Hit it slightly to the right while doing the turbo boost and your car should fly over the barrier and into a ravine.
Hint: Interstate: No traffic
Select the Interstate course. When the race begins, drive over to the other side of the highway into the HOV lane (brown with white diamonds). Look over the barrier that separates oncoming traffic. There will be no traffic on the other side.
Hint: Interstate: Pit stop
When you begin the race and drive on to the first highway, go to the far right of the highway. There will be an opening that you can drive into. It is not much -- you will just see a gas station. Drive forward past the gas station and there will be another opening that leads you out.
Hint: Quick start
Accelerate immediately before the "1" fades during the pre-race countdown to start with a slight boost in speed.
Hint: Real car equivalents
Look closely at each car at the selection screen. They are similar to real cars. For example, Muscle and the Dodge Viper, Saloon and a Mercedes, Supermini and a Honda Hatchback, etc.
