Daisy Boxes on Coventry Cove

The first Daisy Box is in the haystack closest to the road. When you run into all of these boxes you should hear some guy say "Groovy".

The next Box is sort of hard. You have to go through the first shortcut in the city. Then as you hit the ramp turn to the right. If you do this right you should go over the docking house into a large area. The Daisy is in there.

The last box is in the Stonehedge area. It is behind on of the big formations right before the ramp. After collecting the boxes finish the race. Go to Options. Scroll all the way down and there is the Cheat Menu.

To get a jump start, wait until the race is about to start. When it says "GO" imediately press L (the one at the top of the controller) to transport you to the same spot and you'll already be going 40-50 M.P.H.! This can be very helpful when trying to get ahead right away. Pressing L when racing is very useful too. Use it when you fall off a ledge before you blow up to save a lot of time or, when grabbing something way out of the way.

Music Test

To unlock the music test cheat, race in championship mode in Mount Mayhem.
After driving for a while you come up to a big cave where there are
passageways on either side of a hill leading up to another cave. Go up one
of these paths and accelerate to over 115mph to fly through the tunnel.
You should land in another tunnel which later forks into two ways. Take
the right one and after the bridge make a stop and turn left. The daisy
box is in the snow.

Drive down this path and follow it making sure you make it across all the jumps. You will now be in a greenish room, go through the set of round stone "gates" and this will open up a HUGE jump in the room with "glassy" floors.

Follow the road you are on untill you reach this room, then hit a nitro box and hit the jump STRAIGHT on. You will jump onto a platform and there will be another jump in front of you, hit this then when you land, HIT THE BRAKES!!

All the battle stages are directly based on their track counterparts. Note that it is not necessary that you come in first in the races, but your points are not counted if you are disqualified.

Tip: Use the Police Beetle to get the tracks. It's fast -- and you can force cars to pull over and take your time to collect the boxes.
