To disable codes, enter NO_CODE or any invalid password three consecutive times.
Go to the tower in the middle of the Launch Site level and approach to the tunnel that does not go through. Wait until the lights above are green before driving in. You will be taken up on to the tower and a booster rocket will be placed on the back of your vehicle. You will then be shot into the air and dropped. Collect the weapons including specials and radar jammers. This may be repeated as many times as needed, unless the tower is destroyed.
To get triple salvage points, destroy your opponents with a special weapon. To get 10 salvage points instead of 5, go to options and set the difficulty to 92 and bullet symbol to high. You will get 10 points for 1 symbol during game play.
Go to the options and turn the damage on high and the difficulty on low. Each icon will then be worth 7.
To perform a grind in the Alaskan Pipeline, head to head towards the water when you first start the level. You will pass between two pipes that go into the ground. Right after you go between them, turn left and you will see a ramp. Go up the ramp and turn left, then turn left again onto an oil silo. You should be looking across to another one. Slowly drive off it to land on the pipes, going into the ground to grind across them. You can do a 50-50 a 180 or car (board) slide.
To launch a nuclear missile in Area 51, first collect the hover upgrade in the second hanger (the one on the immediate right if you are player one). Then, blast through the back of the hanger and fly over the hill so the radar dishes detect you. When you hear the radar dish give off a signal and move, you have approximately twenty to thirty seconds to set off the nuclear rocket. Detach the hover upgrade and drive to the left of the Area 51 administration building. Use your machine guns to blast through the side doors. Drive through the building and pick up two special weapons and a wrench. Use your machine guns again to blast the other side doors. Once through the building, drive right and around the missile silo. You will see a green light overhead, indicating the missile launch is ready. Drive underneath the green light and the nuclear missile will launch. The missile will seek whomever you are locked on to and cause a good amount of damage. Note: Repeat the steps to do this as many times as desired.
You may also achieve this by shooing out doors of the building and driving through. Half way through you will hear a small click. Drive to the lights by the silo your facing. If one is red and one is green, go under and the missile will launch. It will fly towards the car that is targeted. If the lights are both red, drive through again until you hear the click. There is a long reload time between missiles - one may not launch if one was very recently fired. The missiles also will not launch if the building is destroyed. Additionally, at least one satellite dish must be present to launch.
Destroy the observatory in Arizona and wait until the loud explosion. Examine the big crater in the middle of the level to find a big asteroid. Destroy the asteroid and a giant ant will emerge and shoot everyone in the level. Destroy the ant and stand in the middle of the crater. When the big rock appears, it will land on you and you will fly.
Go to one of the gas stations in the Arizona level and shoot the rocket located there with your machine gun. It will launch and hit your enemy.
If you shoot the police officer in the Arizona level he will attack you by ramming your vehicle.
Go to one of the two gas stations in the Arizona level. Stop in-between the pumps and snack shop. You will hear a sound as if your car was in the repair shop. Within five seconds, the sound will stop and you will have more armour than before. You may do this as many times as needed unless the gas stations are destroyed. Note: It will take some time before you can do it again.
In the Florida level, you can be attacked by a shark by getting the hydrofloater power ups and going next to a certain buoy.
In the Louisiana level, destroy the graves in the cemetery to make ghosts appear and begin attacking. If an enemy is close by when you destroy the tombs, the ghosts may attack the enemy instead of you. When you destroy a tomb, drive very fast to the one next to it and also destroy it. If done correctly, there should be more than one ghost circling the ruins of a tomb. The ghosts will keep circling until they attack someone. You can raise up to five ghosts this way, but you need to be very fast to outrun them. To escape from the ghosts without being attacked, drive into the deep water (the water that can you sink in and come out elsewhere). The ghosts cannot attack you there.
In the Louisiana level, approach the bridge (or dam) and shoot at the nearby wheel. It will start to spin and the bridge will begin to raise. Keep shooting until the bridge is completely raised. Repeat this at the other bridge. In a few seconds, it will start to flood.
In the Louisiana level, choose someone that has a special that can send the enemies flying (Garbage Man, Convoy, etc.). Make sure that they get in the lake on the left. If near the bayou, it is the lake on the left; on the right if in the grave yard; or get them into the deep water. This is also useful in two player or quest mode. Note: You can also do this in the Florida level. Bump them into the shark, throw them in deep water, or attack them to take their floaters off.
In the Louisiana level, get Gator trapped in the charges in the water section to make specials and wrenches will fly out.
In the Pennsylvania level, find the red-orange steel that sets you on fire if you touch it. Shoot it and it will melt, oozes across the river, and disappear. This is useful when enemies are on the other side.
There are three different snow games to play in the Utah Ski Resort. If you play them properly, you will get extra power-ups, weapons, etc. Go to the top of the hill via ski lifts, or by just driving. The first game is a skiing type slalom (obtain the ski powerup first). Successfully slalom the blue/red flags. A winner's stand with power-ups will appear at the bottom, by the resort. The second is a ski slope/ramp. To get to the ramp, you must first drive into the tower at the top of the hill. Drive down the ramp as fast as possible. Once in the air, you can do tricks and get points for power-ups at the winner's stand. The last ski game is the luge, all the way on the left. Run the luge (with the ski powerup) and hit all the check points. Finish at the bottom and pick up power-ups at the winners stand. All these mini-games can be done as often as needed, but you must break your previous score in order to keep getting power-ups.
An easy way to get Whammies is to use Bob O's Special. While the enemy is still hooked on, change weapons and fire them . This works well with the Bruiser Cannon and Bull's Eye Missiles.
Play as Bob O and use your special. While they are attached, you can use the Cow Puncher Special to do a Whammie X4.
If there are three garbage trucks, get one to use the Compactor on another garbage truck. Then, use your garbage truck to use the Compactor on the first truck that is already holding the other truck.
Convoy's regular truck is a 1950s Autocar Diesel. His upgraded truck is a 1977 Kenworth W900.
For new car colours in two-player mode, start a one-player arcade mode game and choose a location and car, but change the colour of the car. Select your opponents and start the match. Win the match, then quit. Start any type of two-player match. Select the same car used in arcade mode. Start the match and your car should be the same colour previously used.

When using Bob O's special in the Florida level, a good spot to release when your special runs out is into the fans or jets. Be careful not to get yourself pulled into them. This will also buy you some time to get other weapons and is also effective to launch enemies into the fans to complete that objective.
