Racer X's car

Demon cars

Note: These cars are called Ogre cars in the Japanese version of the game.

GXR car
Race on the medium or hard track and go through the tunnel. Look on the left for a small passage with a wall. To break through the wall, go over 190 mph, bump the statues on the left out of the way, then use the saws to crash through the wall. Drive straight ahead to find the white GSX car. It has A++ ratings for auto and manual.

Overhead replay view:
Press Circle + Triangle + Square + X during the replay.

Shortcuts:
There is building that appears to be a gas station approximately two thirds of the way through the Medium and Hard Level tracks. Make a hard left turn at this building to reach a fence. Use the Auto Jacks to jump the fence. Use the Chopper Blades to cut the trees blocking the path. While driving over the trees the surface will be muddy, so use the Belt Tires for better traction and speed. A small lake will appear. Activate either the Defender Dome or the Frogger buttons (one automatically activates the other). After the lake is another fence that is just in front of a waterfall. Jump this fence and make a hard left turn to avoid hitting the far wall next to the waterfall. Race to the finish line. This shortcut will allow almost half of the track to be skipped.

In the medium and long tracks (just after the gas station two thirds of the way through), on the left hand side of the course there appears to be an uncompleted overhead pass. Use the Auto Jacks to jump on the overpass, then switch to Belt Tires over the mud. Then Auto Jack over the barrier at the end of the short cut.

Tunnel shortcut:
You can break through any of the doors that are in the tunnels if they are hit at near full speed. Breaking through the first door in the first tunnel leads to a small shortcut that includes jumping a fence and going through water. In this secret part of the tunnel is also a 90 degree turn to the left and another door.

Hints:
Leaving the Belt Tires activated will result in a slower top speed on the race track. Leaving the Chopper Blades activated affects handling slightly.
