Hydro Thunder

Cheats

All Tracks in Two-Player Mode:
Play each race in two player mode and win to unlock secret tracks
(for two player only). Eventually, you'll unlock all the tracks and then
all the secret boats. This unlimited two player mode is great for
practicing and finding shortcuts.


Clean Pause:
While racing, press Start and while the pause menu is up, press X and Y
together. This will get rid of the pause menu and you can get a clear
picture of what is around you on screen.


Earning Tracks and Boats:
To race the medium tracks, finish each of the three Easy courses in the
Top 3 positions, and you will get all the medium tracks, plus medium
hydroboats, too.

To race the hard tracks, finish each of the Medium tracks in first or
second position, and you will get access to the hard tracks, plus hard
boats too.

To get bonus tracks, finish each of the Hard courses in first place only,
and you will get one bonus track, and bonus cars too. Then, finish the
bonus track in first to get another, then repeat that to get the others
until you've conquered Hydro Thunder.


Race as a Fishing Boat
Enable all of the hidden tracks. Highlight the Thresher at the boat
selection screen. Then, hold L + R and press View two times. Select the
Chumdinger to race in a fishing boat.


Race as the Tiny Titanic:
You have to beat the easy courses in the top three to get the medium
courses. After you have the medium courses then beat them by placing in
the top two to get the hard courses. Beat these by placing first in all
the races to get the bonus tracks. Beat the first three bonus tracks in
first and you will be able to race with the most awesome boat in the game.
The Tiny Titanic.


Turbo Start:
Hold left trigger while game is loading. As the number 3 fades release
left and hold Right trigger. As the number 2 fades do the opposite
(release right and hold left trigger). then do the opposite again as
the number 1 fades (you should end with right trigger held.)

======================================================================
QUICK START
======================================================================
This trick assumes the game is under the default controller
setting.
- Hold L during the pre-race countdown.
- Release L and hold R when the countdown reaches "3".
- Release R and hold L when the countdown reaches "2".
- Release L and hold R when the countdown reaches "1".
If done correctly, your boat will get a faster start and
a four-second boost.

Far East Shortcut:
After the Blue Boost that's hanging out in the air, you'll hit a bunch of small waterfalls followed
by a Tunnel. If you jump on top of the Tunnel, you'll cut you're time in half for that section.

Venice Canals Shortcut:
When you get to the part with the three hard turns in a row (left, right, left) you can skip all of
this by jumping over the island in between them both. This comes shortly after the part with the
docks.
