Hint: Flip over trucks and buses
--------------------------------
Go to the highway in arcade mode and drive on the high lane. Then,
knock a truck that says "wow" off the high lane onto the low lane
into a truck or bus.
Hint: Jack knife trucks
-----------------------
To make 18 wheelers jack knife on the highway, ram them between
the cab and the trailer.
Hint: Derail train
------------------
When in original mode or arcade mode, go to the train station and
wait for a train. When one approaches, drive in front of it. The
front car of the train will move off the tracks and start honking
and try to move. Stay there and eventually the front car will fly
off the tracks and will remain that way for a little while.
Hint: More money
----------------
Your passenger will get excited and give you more money when you
pass other drivers on the road.
When taking people on the freeway, weave in and out of buses,
trucks, and cars. Your passenger will get excited and give you
tips. Be careful not to crash.
Sometimes when you have a customer, you can go against a wall or a
solid straight side and ram side by side against it. If done
correctly, you can get a Crazy Drift combo even if you did not do
one. You can get up to an 8-combo. This works well by KFC with Gus
or B.D Joe.
Go to the girl that is waiting at the car store. Pick her up and
ride through between the car aisles. She will scream "Yeah!" and
cash symbols will begin to surround you car.
Go to the used car shop with a customer and drive through the
middle of the two lines of cars to get a lot of tips.
Hint: Get to first place
------------------------
Start the game with your fastest character and shift into reverse
gear. Reverse all the way until you reach a passenger. When you
have collected her, stay to the center of the road (so that you
get more combos for Crazy Through). When you get to the rail car
station at the top of the hill, go anyway you want (preferably
straight down the middle). Try to stay to the center of the road.
Go as fast as you can without crashing into any of the other
vehicles. When you get to the bottom of the hill, drop off the
passenger. After that, pick up any Red, Orange or (if desired) the
Yellow. This will allow you to increase your time, passengers, and
money.
Hint: Crazy Box mode
--------------------
To complete the 30 times level, drive down the middle of the road
at a relatively slow speed.
Hint: Crazy Box: Crazy Flag
---------------------------
Put your car into reverse and just drive backwards until you hit
the flag.
Hint: Crazy Box: Crazy Jump
---------------------------
In the Crazy Jump, start off with a Crazy Dash. When you get to
the middle of the ramp perform a Crazy Dash again and once again
before leaving the ramp. This result in over three hundred and
high two hundreds.
Hint: Crazy Box: Crazy Pole
---------------------------
In Crazy Pole, do a Crazy Drift to hit the pole. This will allow
you to stop in both destination points of each person.

off easy.
Hint: Crazy Drift Stop
----------------------

Hint: Crazy Pins
----------------
Drive slowly down the middle of the lane of pins. At the end, use
a Crazy Dash drive and accelerate.
When "Go" appears, put your car in reverse and do the Crazy Dash.
When you reach the pins, use the back of your car to knock down
all the pins and get a strike.
Hint: Extra time
----------------
Select arcade mode and ten minutes for the time limit. Pick up a
customer, then go under the water and remain there for two
minutes. You will get ten extra minutes.
Hint: Extra bikes
-----------------
Complete the nine original mini-games to unlock six new mini-
games. Complete those as well. There will be one final mini-game.
Once you complete that, you can select a bike for any of the
characters by pressing Up or Down at the character selection
screen.
Hint: $99,999
-------------
Execute a Crazy Drift, wait until you have spun 180 degrees, then
press Reverse + Drive. You can earn as much as a 450 combo and
$99,999.
Hint: Hidden customers
----------------------
Drive off the freeway (with the high and low lanes) and go past
the police station. Take the first right, then take the first
left. On the next right there is a ramp. Drive up it and to get on
the roof of a building with a customer.
Enable the "Another day mode" code, then begin the game in
original mode. There is a hidden customer in the water by the
pier.
There is a subway station downtown. Get in by driving down the
stairs to find a customer that wants to be taken to another subway
station. Just follow the railroad to the next station (the
destination may vary) to get some extra cash. Try not to crash,
because it will take a lot of time to get back on your way.
A hidden customer is near the parking structure. Drive up the ramp
and slowly fall off the end of the structure on the far left side.
You will see a green customer on the roof of the building you just
landed on. Pick him up. He wants to go 2000 yards and will pay
$975 to go to the police station.
Hint: Strange customers
-----------------------
Drive down to the beach and into the water in arcade mode. In
there are about three or four customers that usually want to go to
Pizza Hut. Watch them closely when they hop in and out of the car
-- they have unusually big ears.
Hint: Find the highway easily
-----------------------------
Follow the big blue bus to get to the highway.
Hint: Shortcut to the baseball stadium:
Just when you suppose to go around the hill, cut through the small
hill and go through the parking lot with buses.
