Cheats, Tricks, Easter Eggs
Level Skip - Hold down control and shift while typing "getdown" (without quotes). All vehicles in the game will start to attack you, including Jade, Taurus, and Skeeter. After you die, the mission ends as a success.
Blurry Vision - At any time in the game, type "wiggleburger" while holding control and shift to make the screen blurry. May not work in 3D-accelerated modes. Try it in software if you really want to experience the effect.
Increased Radar - To increase your radar, hold down control and shift and type "thirdnostril"
Flat tires - Hold control and shift and type either "frlat," "flflat," "brflat," or "blflat."
See the Development Team - In order to see the development team, drive the bus in the F1 mode and look back. The development team will be in the back seat.
Play movies from hard drive - Rather have the movies load from you hard disk? Copy the "Cutscene" folder from your Nitro Pack CD and paste it to your install folder. Rename the folder to "SMK" (no quotes) and voila, the movies will stream from your hard drive!
Alien Abduction - In Taurus's Mission 19: Assassination, head straight through the mountain for a surprise!
Wiggleburger and bus riders.
Vehicles
Play as the Helicopter
In a melee game, select the Rattler. Make a variant and save it with the name retpocileh (helicopter backwards).
Outside and inside the helicopter.
Piloting the helicopter is a little strange. Giving it "gas" will tilt the helicopter down for forward movement; this'll also move you closer to the ground. Likewise, braking will reverse things, tilting the helicopter back and moving upwards. There seems to be some game logic that keeps the helicopter above certain areas of terrain. That being said, you can still crash this thing directly into a hill and explode.
Play as the Tank
In a melee game, select the Rattler. Make a variant and save it with the name knat. (It's "tank" backwards, just in case...)
Tank exterior and limited interior.
The tank is big, bulky, and if you prefer to use the in-car view... blinding. It comes with its giant cannon as well as a couple of other user-selectable weapons. It's interesting for a spin, but due to the lack of speed, it's not very practical.
Play as the Super Tank
In a melee game, select the Rattler. Make a variant and save it with the name natk.
Check out the armor value; special weapon on top.
Like the standard tank, but just as slow, better armored, and with power. While the standard tank has an average of 150 armor, this suckers got 600! Using this one will also let you toss on some extra weapons not available elsewhere.
Play as the Hot Air Balloon
In a melee game, select the Rattler. Make a variant and save it with the name hotair.
Float on.
The hot air balloon "drives" just like the helicopter. Except with no weapons, it's pretty boring. Try it for the thrill... that's not very thrilling.
Play as the UFO
In a melee game, select the Rattler. Make a variant and save it with the name thetruthishere.
Piloting the UFO is just like the helicopter and the hot air balloon. Try it for the novelty. Ever wonder why this thing's in the game?
Specials
Here's what the specials do:
- Cup Holders reduce the probability of being hit by 10%.
- Structo Bumpers double your front and rear chassis reinforcement.
- Heated Seats give you 10% more ammunition.
- Curb Feelers reduce the likelihood of flipping your car.
- Mud Flaps reduce the amount of chassis damage you receive from vegetation.
- Dashboard Mary adds 10% damage to each round fired, with a minimum damage increase of 1
Miscellanous
These aren't really codes or secrets, but if I don't add them, it'll seem like the list is incomplete.
Change Resolution - Press F12 to change the game resolution. As a side effect, this will reset your car to an upright position.
Self-destruct - Press <ctrl> + <alt> + X to self-destruct. Could be useful if you were stuck in limbo mode online; not needed in single-player mode as you can just restart a level.
