Hint: Arctic Circle: Shortcut:
Near the beginning of the level are some houses. There is a house where you can only see the roof. Jump off the roof and you should jump up about three or four places ahead.

Hint: Arctic Circle: Secret area:
When you reach the area with the big oil tanker and penguins, jump over into a secret area with a red boost.

Hint: Catacomb: 9 second boost:
At beginning of the race there are two columns. Go between them and you will get a 9 second boost.

Hint: Far East: Shortcut:
When you are about half way through the level you will reach a place where the water will drop three times. Just when your on the third one, immediately do your booster jump when you get on the edge. When your boat jumps in the air, hold [Boost]. If done correctly, you should land on top of a place above the tunnel ahead. This will make it much faster than having to go in a big "L". Note: This requires some practice.

Hint: Lake Powell: Shortcut:
Near the end of the level there are two gaps and a cement ramp-like wall separating them. Use your booster and go up the ramp. You should land on the train tracks and get a 9 second boost.

Hint: Lost Island: Shortcut:
Go through the waterfall at the beginning of the level. You will get a red and blue boost, fall out a small fall, and immediately find a small village. At the end of the village, before the slight turn, go towards the left side. You will find a cave. Go through it and get the red boost, then a blue. You will exit the cave and be above the track. You will get another blue boost and a final red boost.

Hint: New York Disaster: Shortcut:
Near the beginning is a silver revolving door that appears to be solid. Go through it and you will find a blue boost and a red boost. To get the red boost you have to use a Hydro Jump (hold [Brake] and use [Boost]).

Hint: New York Disaster: Boost
In NY Disaster, when you are racing through the left side of the subway tunnel with the Rescue boat cutting you off and bumping into you, instead of jumping for the nine second red boost in the center to the right, bash into the Rescue boat. Your boost level will remain where it was for the remainder of the race.
