TWO Shortcuts in PAPU'S PYRAMID

Before the first shortcut, you will need an Aku-Aku(or Uka-Uka if your a bad guy) mask or a turbo boost(preferably juiced-up) ready to use. The first shortcut is located just after the "kart-eating" plants. After that there is a fairly sharp turn. Just before that, there are two small walls with yellow arrows warning you of the turn. Between them is a large gap, and after that there is a small pillar with Papu's big ugly mug on it. You need to use the Aku-Aku/Uka-Uka/turbo so that you get up enough speed to make the jump before the gap, then you should drop down onto the track. The second short cut is located just after the "fairly sharp turn" mentioned in the instructions for the first shortcut. After the turn, go to the left of the track and just before the drops, jump to the left and you should land on a small ledge with wumpa fruit.

Get rid of those pesky missles

If a missle is tailing you, drop a TNT or NITRO box behind you. If your desperate, you could use a bowling bomb on a straightaway. (NOTE:This also works on bowling bombs, but not warp orbs)

Submitted By Incognito

PS1

Shortcut in TIGER TEMPLE (and the R for the CTR Challenge)

Before you do this you will need an Aku-Aku(or Uka-Uka if your a bad guy) mask ready to use. After you exit the first main temple area(the place with the flaming statues) if you look straight ahead you should see what looks like to be a giant monkey head on top of the building. Just under it there should be a section of the wall that is darker than the other parts of the wall. Now you need to use the Aku-Aku/Uka-Uka I mentioned earlier. Once on, drive toward the dark section of the wall and it should open up, leading to some wumpa fruit boxes(and the R if your racing the CTR Challenge). Don't worry my child, have faith!!!!

Cut a Corner on POLAR PASS

After a number sparatic jumps(the ones with all the turbo pads) you will cross a very narrow, wooden bridge and enter a cave. At the end of the cave you should see a large wall with yellow arrows pointing to the right, indicating a very tight U-turn. To avoid this(and get a weapon or some wumpa fruit) just before you get to the wall there should be a small hill. Use this hill to jump over the wall and collect some goodies!

Submitted By Incognito

PS1

Third short cut an papu papu's pyramid

Before you go round the corner where the stonge-henge things are, you will need a turbo. There'll be a little ramp thing, fire your turbo and push the r1 or l1 button. You turn right in the air and then you should land on the home stretch.
PS1

Blizzard Bluff Short Cut

On the first ice pond right before the bridge turn to the left and you should see an opening. With a juiced up boost or Aku-Aku/Uka-Uka go in that opening and use the boost or Aku-Aku/Uka-Uka and push L1 right before you go over. If you don't press L1 and use what you have you will fall in the water.

PS1

Sewer Speedway Shourt cut

After the first jump when you get out of the tunnel you go to the ledge on the left hand side and when you come to the turn use a juiced up Aku-Aku or Uka-Uka and jump down of the ledge, go across to the other ledge and push L1 when you are about to be on the ledge. This should get you to a secret passage.

Super shortcut for Papu's Pyramid.

This shortcut may be VERY HARD but can take up to 10 SECONDS off your lap time! Here it is: first DON'T take Oxide's first shortcut take the one that allows you to skip the annoying steps. Then do a HUGE jump and land on the short wall (You know the one that stops you from falling off the edge just before the home stretch.) Then jump off it and land in front of the finish line. It totally kicked Oxide's butt!!!

PS1

Better shortcut for Polar Pass

Just before the "jump from this island to that that one" part you will notice 2 thin turbos. Make sure you enabled the Super Turbo pad cheat you should be able to go to the right and skip the islands!!!

Tiger Temple Shortcut

If you get a bomb or a missile, save it until you see teeth on the left side of the speedway, then shoot it with bomb or missile. Instead of going ALL the way around you cut threw the middle.

A Cool Turbo

When on a(preferebly long and curved)corner, do a powerslide. But hit the "burst" button three times. Your third burst should be super fast!

Submitted By Hot Tuna

PS1

A Better Cortex Castle Short Cut

This cheat works best with a juiced-up speed burst or mask. When you enter the bluish room after the stairs, turn left. You should see a ledge. Use your "weapon" here, and jump to the ledge. It takes practice, but is worth while!!!

Submitted By Hot Tuna

PS1

CTR Token

In Adventure, when you are playing Crash Cove, go off of the ramp and push jump to turbo. Go through the water and it will bounce you up. Push jump again and make a right onto the bridge once you make it up, and you will get the letter. Don't go on that ship because it is a dead end.
