Change the Soundtrack
---------------------
If you'd like to listen to something different, replace the Vigilante 8 CD with your
favorite music CD after you've started a level.
Get Everything
--------------
This code gives you everything -- the secret characters, levels, and 'Y' the Alien.
To enter the code, go to the OPTIONS screen and choose GAME STATUS. Click on any driver,
then enter the code WMNNWLHTSCUCLH.
Bonus Cars and Maps
-------------------
There are 4 secret cars: The School Bus, The Manta, The Semi-Truck, and the "UFO" Van.
You will most likely encounter these vehicles while playing on the maps against the computer,
and in Arcade mode you can pick to play against them... But being able to use them is a
different story. You must first go to Options and then to Game Status... If you haven't beat
the game with anyone yet, all the people's faces will be black and white. This is a Tekken-style
"secret". See how there is a sort of chain with the characters an then empty slots and a bigger
empty slot... Well, to get that first empty to slot, you must beat it with the 2 characters that
it is connected to... Once you get the 2 secret characters in the top "chain" and beat it with
them, you get the secret map. The bigger "slot" in the top "chain"...
Do the same thing with the bottom "chain" and you will get the other secret map and the 2
other secret characters. Something special MAY happen once you have UNLOCKED everything,
but that isn't a guarantee.
Monster Truck Tires
-------------------
For monster truck tires, enter the password "MONSTER WHEELS".
More Powerful Missiles
----------------------
To make your homing missiles do more damage, enter the password "DEADLY_MISSILE".
Secrets
-------
On the ski level go to the bottom of the hill and enter the lodge doors, your car will get onto the lift and it will take you to the top of the mountain. This works the other way as well.
In the Las Vegas level you can find the blimp flying over, watch where it lands then enter the door that opens. It will take off and allow you to fly it over the city, get over a building and wait until it drops you on the roof.
In the airplane graveyard you can drive your car between the flight tower and electric polls. The flight towers are located at each corner of the level, they are the towers with the flag on the roof. This will cause the B-52 bombers to come out and bomb your opponents.
In the farm level you can shoot the valves beside the water canal, then a huge wave will go through the canal damaging any car trapped in the canal.
In the secret military level you can shoot the ladders beside the stealth bombers, then go over to where the satelitte dishes are located and drive by the red and green lights to make the bombers hit your opponet.
On the hover dam level you can hit the switch in front og the dam by the water to make an electric burst of energy go through the water zapping your opponent.
In the Canyonland level, get in the middle of the circle of rocks. A gold beam will come down and teleport you elsewhere.
Special Attacks
from Ron Bausum (bobis@conknet.com)
Each weapon has two secret moves. The manual tells you one and these are the other ones.
Interceptor Missiles: Halo Decoy
Up-Up-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2 Missiles
(This will cause any homing missles or special to
follow your missles instead of you. Useful but not easy
to pull off. This is one of the only ways to cause the
Gamma Storm from Beezwax to miss!)
Bull's Eye Rockets: Stampede
Up-Down-Up-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 1-5 Rockets
(This shoots up to 5 of your rockets in quick
succesion. They don't aim automaticly so most will miss
unless your target is stationary: I.E. stalled or In a
Bear Hug Mine. Also using this while spinning around is
grea for multiple enemies.)
Sky Hammer Mortar: Turtle Turnover
Down-Down-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2 Shells
(Against a human opponent this is the bomb *hehehe*
that's funny.. kinda.. Anyway. This will cause the
opponents car to flip over on it's roof. The computer
flips right back up. But some of the bigger cars take a
while so it can be usefull.)
Bruiser Cannon: Cow Puncher
Down-Up-Down-Fire Machine Gun Cost: 2 Shells
(Ah yeah. This not only does a lot of damage in
one hit it also throws the opponent for a loop. Well, it
just pushes them back and sometimes will tip them over.
Great fun if your opponent is on the side of a cliff.)
Roadkill Mines: Cactus Patch
Left-Right-Up-Fire Machine Gun Cost 1-6 Mines
(This is the only way to drop mines. They Bear Hug
is great for slowing down someone. But since it does no
damage I use it sparingly. This Will cause you to drop up
to 6 mines in a area behind your car. If someone is
following you they are guaranteed to hit at least one of
them. And the best part is that unlike Twisted Metal 2,
mines stay where you put them. So be careful. I've blown
myself up because I forgot that I lined a turn with them.)
Also, these special moves work even if the weapon is
not your selected weapon (think 3X wammys.) I've
done it only once and my opponent was toast.
Special Attacks Tip
-------------------
Having a problem entering special attacks with the analog controller? There is an easy way to solve this problem. Go to options. Go to controller one (or wichever controller you are using). Set the digital pad "up" button to "Accelerate" and set the "down" button to "brake". Now you can steer with the analog and enter most of the special atacks with the digital pad!
