| Chapter 7 This is probably the hardest of the chapters. The only major differences here is the speed of the other racers. You can deal with this in two ways.You can suffer the embarrassment of losing to the Black Bull over and over again by trying to race properly, or you can be sensible and take him out early on. This isn't as hard as it seems, because he always passes you on the left at the start. If you time your attack here perfectly (X attack is slightly more favourable), you can kill him. If he doesn't die first time, which is likely then you can restart the race, or you can try and take him out later on. However this could be a problem considering how chaotic the race is. Once he's out of the way, you have to win the race. Unfortunately the other racers (particularly Blood Falcon) are evil and will try to kill you. Get ahead as quickly as possible, so cut through the lava to make time up. As soon as you get into the second lap, boost like crazy, boost over the ice as well as it saves a second or two. From here on in, its a case of boosting at regular intervals, and drifting like a demon round those corners. Whenever you get the opportunity (i.e. a car pulls up beside you) kill them. If their out of the race, its one less car that can beat you. Lastly, on the final lap, the final pit lane is exactly where you want it to be. Go over the lave with some energy left, and boost straight into the energy zone and boost from here to the end. This combined with a hell of a lot of luck will see you become champion. |

| Chapter 8 This one seems very tough at first, but it isn't because your opponent isn't that good round the course. He rarely boost going into corners and at the sharp bend that follows the lava section he slows down significantly, even on VERY HARD. You should try to take advantage of his flaws as much as possible. From the start you'll need 100% acceleration, that will help getting round the three sharp bends in the coure much easier. For the the first lap tail Dark Schneider as close as possible. On the second lap boost like crazy until the first energy strip, and then boost consistently every two seconds. You'll also need to know where the mines are so you don't have to hit them. Boost through the lava section (without hitting though and if you have had a good lap so far you should find yourself in the lead. Memorise where the main three sharp turns are and try to drift in good time around them. So, final lap. If you've got enough boost power use to boosts and then wait until the next top up strip. Then, just do the same as what you did in the second lap. If your nearing the end of the race and he's in front by two seconds or so, from the third to last corner, boost all the way to the end. You should find you have overtaken him just before the final corner, and provided you don't smash straight into the wall, you will win. |

| Chapter 9 So, you've made it to the final chapter eh? Well this course brings in most of the skills you should've acquired in the game. This level has sharp corners, which you'll need to drift heavily to get round, and it has no edges all the way round. It's really annoying that your racing a ghost car too, because there are so many opportunities to knock your rival off the track. There is an upside to this though. The ghost car never really puts up that much of a fight, he rarely boosts going into corners, so the challenge comes from just finishing the race in a good enough time to win. Unless your tackling this track on VERY HARD (in this case you'll want 70% maximum speed), you should have you setting on 100% acceleration. Again, it will make the sharp turns easier. Unfortunately the VERY HARD rival is much, much better at driving on the track - he doesn't boost that much, but he always boosts in the best places though. It's sometimes worth hanging back and looking at his strategy, and maybe copy it. That's really the only advice there is. |
