Difference between revisions of "Racetracks"

• After coming out of the 1st cave you will enter the ruffian village. Start looking to your left for a row of orange street cones blocking off an area without a wall. Be sure to jump as soon as you enter this shortcut so that you can acquire the hidden power-ups.

• In the beginning, immediately after the 4th set of power ups look to the right for a set of orange cones blocking the shortcut. Be aware there is a speed strip right after the exit of this shortcut, so land on it if possible for an even better lead.

• This is one of the harder ones to find by yourself, because it opens up after the 1st pinata runs past it. Hence you will not find this one if your in currently in 1st place. Soon after the 1st cave you will come across 2 golden bonboons with water poring onto the race track. After the 1st bonboon, slow down to allow everyone to pass. Immediately after you pass the 2nd golden bonboon you will notice in th middle of that wooden bridge there is now an opening on the right, accompanied with arrows. Depending on the location of the train, the smoke might hide the opening.

• Close to the end of the level, you will run up and be launched into the air. As soon as you hit the ground, stick to the left. Avoiding those tempting power ups in front of you, look left. You will see large barrels blocking this shortcut (plow through them). The finish line is moments there after.

• This first shortcut is when you come out of that first round about, stick to the left and run over the speed strip. Ignore the road and plow straight through towards the power ups and barrels.

• The next one is only a few corners after the 1st one. You will hit another speed strip then go stright over a small humped bridge. Again. Ignore the road turning right and go STRAIGHT. Tables and chairs from the cafe will fly as well as boxes and barrels as you plow down this ally.

• After the first tunnel, hang a sharp left. You will see 2 barriers with a space in the middle blocked with orange cones. Go through the cones and hit the ramp.

• After entering the second cave stay to the right. On your way out you'll see 2 exits. Jump over the snowman and be careful on the small bridge.

• When you come out of the last cave you will see an open area with a large ramp on the right. Go around it and hang to the right of the open area and you should see a little ramp that has a snowman in front of it. Avoid that snowman and be aware that the ramp launched you into 2 power ups and a field of evil snowmen.

• Of all the short cuts, this is probably the least obvious one. Pass the snowmen in the beginning, then a house on the left and another on the right. Hold close to the right wall and look for a house with a balloon right in front of the roof. The shortcut is bouncing from 1 roof to another, then finding those flat porch areas on certain roofs.

• Close to the end of the level, after leaving the yellow and teal tube, you will be in a canyon. Hug the left wall when turning left at the end of that area and you'll be confronted immediately with a conveyor belt. Jumping one to the next, stay on these until you real the end hallway.

• After you get passed all the conveyor belts in the beginning, you'll then be running on metal grating. Following the track you will make a sharp left, and then be prompted to make a sharp right. Ignore this, jump over the cones and barrier, and balance yourself while running across a turning tube tub.

• Right after the first shortcut, you will be lead through a cave. As soon as you exit the cave, hang a sharp right. It will launch you across the path instead of having to circle around.

• This is th same shortcut as #1 shortcut on factory. Come through the cave, jump over the barricades and balance on the twisting tube.

• Ok, the first one remember those conveyer belts, yup do the same thing here! take them all or most of them.

• When you first get to the houses, you will take a ramp and it will launch you. Then be on the lookout for 2 more ramps that launch you and take them.

• In the very beginning of the race, there is a ramp just after the snowmen. Instead of going up that one, about 10 feet before the ramp, veer off to the left and go off the other ramp.

• About half way through the track, there is a path to go across the ice which allows you to save some time and hazardous wiggling across ices bridges (same as Frosty)

• About 2/3rds of the way through, there is a ramp which takes you onto a floating ice chunk. At the end of the ice chunk, there is another ramp. It gives you at least a 5 second advantage.

• In the beginning when you go around a rotary type thing, you should see a red ramp going up with a booster on it, take it.

• This one is tough to see. after you go through a tunnel, hang to the right and you should see an opening, go in it.

• After you go over a bridge type thing and take a left, then a right. its on the right side right on front of you. As usual, take it.

• In the beginning of the level, stay to the right and take that shortcut. Its very easy to see.

• This one is the same as bridged #1. This time its at the end and just stay to the left, you will see it.
