Beetle Adventure Racing - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Beetle Adventure Racing - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

 2pt - Jump straight using the fountain. The first box is in the hotel
       halls.

 5pt - End of hall

== Alternate Route: Side Street 2/Around Fountain ==

   Instead of using the fountain as a jump, go around it, go up the red
   carpet, and crash through the door.

 5pt - In the casino

== Alternate Route: Aqueduct ==

   When you go through the aqueduct, a set of barriers will be on the
   left. There is a red light near it as well. Go around the barriers
   to another aqueduct.

 2pt - In aqueduct

 5pt - End of aqueduct

 5pt - Jump over street and break through other building that is on
       fire. The box is on the ramp inside.

 5pt - After fire room, you will land in a construction site. The box
       is at the end before you fall off the area.

== Alternate Route: Loading Docks - Right ==

   After the large U-turn, you will pass the loading docks.  A ramp up
   the right side will lead you past the covered bridge.

 2pt x2 - On the right side of the loading docks up the ramp

== Alternate Route: Loading Docks - Left ==

   Same as above, only on the left side.

 2pt - In shack

 2pt - On end of dock on left corner

== Alternate Route: Parking Structure ==

   After the loading docks, on the left is a vertical parking sign.
   Crash through the garage door under the parking sign.

 2pt - On third floor of parking structure at jump to other
       building.

  FLOWER BOXES
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  - Instead of turning left to race the train in the Train alternate
    route, go the opposite way on the tracks a short distance to get
    the flower box.  Be careful not to go too fast because you will
    slam against the wall just behind the flower box.

  - Between the two loading docks after the long U-turn, a covered
    bridge connects the two sides.  Inside the bridge there is a
    flower box.

  - Make the jump to get to the top of the Roman Palace. When you fall
    off, fall off to your right so you are still on some a building
    roof. Follow the small roof right, left, and left again.  You will
    find the flower box here.

 AWARD: Woods arena (unconfirmed)

 Total points found: 100

 5pt - Take the main entry jump into the cathedral. The box is hanging
       in the air.

 2pt + 5pt - In the town, go down the gully in the center of town.

 5pt - After the lower cave of gold on the right of the tree after
       exiting cave.  This is also the jump to the next alternate
       route.

== Alternate Route: High Tree Passage ==

   Before the first tree that you drive through, go off the road to
   the left and take the jump between the trees to the hole in the
   same tree higher up.

 10pt - In the hole

== Alternate Route: Top of Cathedral ==

   Before reaching the cathedral, go off the road to the left.  You
   will see a nitro box at the bottom of the jump.  You have to hit
   the nitro box and jump through the upper window over the main
   cathedral entrance.

 10pt - In room

== Alternate Route: Side Road ==

   After the town, a road will lead off to the left.

 10pt - After the jump at the end of the road

== Alternate Route: Haunted Mansion ==

   On the right, after the town and a stone bridge, a gate will be on
   the right.  Take the road up to the haunted mansion (and the
   dungeon alternate route.)

 10pt - Use the staircase on the right and jump to get the box

== Alternate Route: Dungeon ==

   Same as the haunted mansion, but, instead of going in the mansion,
   go to the tunnel on the right of the mansion.

 2pt x5 - In the dungeon

== Alternate Route: Upper Cave/Dragon ==

   After the dungeon, or after passing the gate to the haunted mansion,
   a hidden cave will be on the right.  Take it to the upper cave (and
   put on your smoking jacket).

 10pt - Before dragon

== Alternate Route: Blacklight/Giant Pumpkin Area ==

   Take the jump after the lower gold cave on the right of the tree.
   You will jump the main road to the other side where there is another
   road.

 2pt x2 - On the road before driving through the tree

 5pt - End of the log bridge

 2pt x7 - After the red-lighted windmill tunnel, jump to the right to
       the large area with more windmills. (Jumping straight will take
       you back to the main course road.)

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  FLOWER BOXES
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  - Inside the haunted mansion, drive up the right stairwell and turn
    left.

  - After the city, take the alternate route to the left. Instead of
    getting the nitro box, jump to the right.  In mid-air, you will
    see the flower box.

  - Just after the cathedral (going through it normally), turn left and
    follow the fence (so you're going the "Wrong Way") and you'll find
    the flower box.

  4.  BEST ROUTES
=========================================================================

 To beat the Championship circuits, or to beat your friends, the
 following routes are suggested.  In general, these are the true
 shortcuts.  Your mileage may vary.

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
COVENTRY COVE
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - Cut corners as much as you can on the twisty road going up to the
   barn.

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
MOUNT MAYHEM
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - Take the jump off the bridge to the crash-landed UFO.

 - Don't take the frozen waterfall route.  Instead, go straight and
   as soon as you see the end of the guard-rail near the pipes, jam on
   the hand-brake, make a quick turn left, go under the pipes to the
   tunnel entrance.  This cuts the entire curve out of the course.

 - Besides having the nitro boxes, the dirt roads do not seem to be
   a shortcut.  Staying on the main course will allow you to pass
   AI cars.

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
INFERNO ISLE
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - You can use the small driveway tunnel on the left as you enter the
   town to hit the shortcut through the town itself.  When you get to
   the end on the platform, start your turn to the right and hit the
   side street entrance across the road.

 - Take the volcano shortcut right after the train tracks.  Not only do
   you avoid the slowpoke AI cars, but you can also keep your speed up
   along the way.

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
SUNSET SANDS
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - It does not seem that the jump in the temple to the elevator is a
   shortcut.  A better shortcut is to drive the course normally, but
   when you get into the water temple, make the quick turn to the left
   and cut off the road around the water temple.

 - The shortcut through the town will only help if you make the turns.
   Be sure not to run into the walls and lose your momentum.

 - SP  suggests that you take the Hidden Dirt Road
   alternate route at the beginning of the course, but instead of going
   down the wooden gate route around the top of the temple, just go
   off the track and just before you hit the water, tap the L button
   to start again.  (This is more of an exploitation of the game more
   than anything, but, hey, it works! -Author)

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
METRO MADNESS
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - Take the jump after the first set of barriers after the start of the
   race!  Make the hairpin by using the hand-brake and downshifting. It
   will easily put you ahead of a number of cars.

 - It seems that the movie theater is a shortcut.  You also avoid being
   taken to the wall by an AI car.

-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-
WICKED WOODS
-+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-

 - Definitely take the alternate route through the blacklight area and
   giant pumpkins.  Make the jump from the windmill to the windmill area
   to the right and you take out the entire hairpin turn at the beginning
   of the race.

 - Leave the road and go behind the giant pumpkins.
