Press Y to beep the horn.
Crazy Box mode:
To complete the 30 times level, drive down the middle of the road at a relatively slow speed.
Crazy Box, Crazy Jump:
In the Crazy Jump, start off with a Crazy Dash. When you get to the middle of the ramp perform a Crazy Dash again and once again before leaving the ramp. This result in over three hundred and high two hundreds.
Crazy Box, Cracy Pole:
In Crazy Pole, do a Crazy Drift to hit the pole. This will allow you to stop in both destination points of each person.
Limit Cut:
This is basically a better version of the Crazy Dash. To do this properly you will first have to be a master at the Crazy Dash and Crazy Drift. Do a Crazy Dash and then straight afterwards perform a Crazy Drift (But without turning!). This will not seem like it makes much difference but when playing the final Crazy Box, S-S, you will only be able to complete it using the Limit Cut.
Crazy Fare:
Play a 10 minute game on arcade mode. Go all the way the parking garage. You will see a little ramp that goes to the second floor of the garage. Go right and hug the wall until you get close to the edge and stop. VERY SLOWLY go over side of the building. STILL GOING SLOWLY, go on the yellow roof and stop. You will see a girl with a green dollar sign above her head. Pick her up. You will notice her fare starts at $975.00 She will have to go to the police station, meaning you have to go over the long freeway. You have 90 seconds to do it and should arrive just before time runs out. If you do some crazy moves you can increase your fare all the way up to $1200.00 This trick isn't hard but yet consumes a lot of time. Try to pick her up as one of the first couple of passangers. Another way is find some one who goes somewhere close to the parking garage. Now with one passanger you can earn over $1000!
How to beat the final Crazy Box, S-S:
Start out going down the road until you hit the freeway, then do the u-turn and everything. Then if you don't know where to go after that just turn left on all the turns A way to make sure this is a real hint is to start out going backwards then you should see the mall.
Limit Cut:
One way to gain lots of speed and make it easier to finish the final crazy box level is to do the limit cut. The limit cut is done by doing a crazy dash (drive + accelerate) then shifting into reverse and finally doing another crazy dash. This entire movement must be done very quickly or it will not work. This can also be done just for fun while going up or down the hills in arcade mode. You get a lot of air when you do this.
Change Drivers View
To play the game from a different viewpoint, plug another controller in to port 3 on the dreamcast and start a game in Arcade or Original Mode.
Use your port one controller as normal, but press start on the port three one. Now to access a First Person in-car view press B on the port 3 controller. To access a "floating" multi-camera viewpoint press Y on the port 3 controller. To switch back to the normal behind car view, press A on the port 3 controller.
Get the Taxi Bike
To get the Taxi Bike without beating the Crazy Box, hit L+R 3 times (rapidly) at the character select screen right before pressing "A" to select. You'll hear a bike bell if you do this correctly. Works in Original and Arcade mode.
