Game racing modes!
The game has many game modes to play. Now I will explain what every of that mode does. The succes or failure is seen in progress table, where you can see what you've done so far. I will explain the modes in the order I think is the best considering that you don't have all tracks and cars avaliable at the beginning.
1. Championship: win all four championships to get all the tracks in normal mode and also some of the cars. The best car to win the first three championships is Col. Moss. Even when you get new cars after completing the first two championships, this car is still the best choise. When you finish the third champ. you will get a red car named ADEON. This is in my opinon the second best car in the whole game. you can learn more about cars in the Cars section. Choose ADEON (my recommendation) and win the Platinum cup and become the Re-Volt master. You will then get acces to all the tracks in normal mode. But won't get all the cars, and that sucks! Read on...
2. Single race: not much to say, win on all tracks to get a some new cars. Nothing special about them altough, ADEON is still the best at the time.
3. Practise: you can get the rest of the cars by collecting stars on the tracks. Stars are hard to find on harder tracks so read! Positions of the stars:
1. Toys in the hood 1: easy, take any car and go to the car with a board on its back. Under the car is the star.
2. SuperMarket 2: take any car. The star is at the top of one of the cash-desks.
3. Museum 2: any car. The star is in the middle of those moving steps (what are they called?). Go to the top, turn arround and drive on it. Simple...
4. Botanical garden: this is the most beautiful graphics I ever seen on PC, really. Instantly on the beginning look on the left, and there it is. Turn arround, go back and turn right when you get out. There is a hole in the wall. Drive in and collect the star.
5. Toy world 1: this is tricky. If you look back (on the start), you should see it at the top, where that big jump before finish line is. Drive entire round until you get to the jump. Stop! Go Back a little, get your car in the middle, and drive forward. You mustn't go too fast. Go so fast that you trip over the edge and you should have it. Easy.
6. Ghost town 1: take a medium fast car (Mouse) and turn arround. You should see a box and star on it. Go and make yourself in position to jump from that sidelong road. Try again if you don't succeed in the first try.
7. Toy world 2: easy...take any car and drive normally. When you get to the first cross-road turn right and drive until you come to the low jump. Go slowly up and left on the edge. In that left corner is the star.
8. Toys in the hood 2: take a fast car and drive one round until you come to the skateboard. Before you get to the asphalt, you see a star on the dust-bin. There is a jumping board in front of it. Go a little forward, turn arround and park your car so it looks on the board straight. Hit the pedal/key and jump from the board on the bin. You should get it. If don't, try again.
9. Toytanic 1: take the fastest car avaliable - Cougar. If you don't have it, you must win Platinum cup to get it. You can try with Pest Control, but that car is FWD and highly unstable (I managed to get it, but i had to try several times). So, take your car in the front of the ship. There it is. Go back from the way you came, all the way to the wall. Turn arround, and go with full speed to the jump. Be careful and precise. You must go exactlyon on the star or you'll miss it.
10. Museum 1: difficult one. Take Cougar, and turn arround right on the start, and go under the metal construction in the back. On the left you will see a kind of a snail's shell (at the top of the room). Set your car so it looks directly to that shell. It is important that the car is set directly to the shell all the way when you drive. Hit the pedal to the metal and drive to the shell. You will jump and with luck hit the star. You probably won't succeed in first try, but you will see where it is and get a better chance next time.
11. Supermarket 1: take cougar and turn arround on the start. You will see it at the top of the helicopter go by the cash-desk and all the way to the end. Turn arround and with full speed drive to the first cash-desk on the left, to jump on the helicopter. You will have to try a lot.
12. Ghost town 2: star is on the same position as the one in ghost town , except higher. Take cougar, take some pounce and with full speed on the slope in the wall. You will probably fly a little up and get it.
13. Toytanic 2: the star is on the same position, so read the toytanic 1 section.
When you collect all the stars, you will be awarded with some other cars, including Toyeca, the best car in the game. You will also get the Zipper.
4. Time trial: this mode is there to get the mirrored, reversed and mirror reversed versions of the tracks. Nothing special about it. You have to beat the Challenge time on every track to get it (see progress table in the game). You can beat them all with ADEON. It's almost as simple as that. But there is one track that can't be beaten with ADEON. Supermarket 1 - this challenge time can only be beaten with Toyeca, and no other car. And even then you're gonna have to try a lot.
5. Stunt arena: you have to collect all the stars to get the new mode to play - Clockwerk carnage. Quite simple. Except - there are two stars that can only be collected with one car - PANGA (that funny panda look-a-like car). The stars are located in that oval place - the middle ones, which are so high that it's scary. So take the Panga, and go there. place yourself in the center line, where the stars are located (higher of course). be sure to be absolutely set according to the line. You must be inverted to the left side, according to the entrance. Drive with full speed, but only to the edge (you mustn't get on the edge), then drive with full speed in reverse all the way into the jump, to collect the first one, then in the air already full speed ahead, and drive to the other side, and collect the other one (if you are set correctly you don't need to steer at all).
IF YOU ARE VERY GOOD, YOUR PROGRESS TABLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS. (THAT'S HOW MY LOOKED AFTER ONE WEEK (I'm a talent:)))
!!!!!!!! 6. Clockwerk carnage - this mode is a bit funny, and that's it. No bonus cars, no tracks, no nothing. Just fun. (difficult fun!!!!!)
