Memorize location of items is necessary to win FAST.

Do not be confident just because you made it through the first 20 races without using one continue! There is a level, that you would think would be easier than those oil slicks, moveable barriers, and watered-downed tracks, but this one has met my match. If you played this game constantly, you know what I mean. I'm talking about the course with very long straightaways and no obstacles. EVERYTIME I GET TO THAT LEVEL, IT MAY BE 24, THE AI COMPUTERS HAVE OUTPACED ME EVEN WHILE DRIVING PERFECTLY. HEREs the HINT: Upgrade your vehicle by knowing where the items are. There are two ways to do that: either collect flawlessly in each level the N's that spell Nintendo at the bottom of the race screen. When spelling out the word "Nintendo", you get a transformation of vehicle, from trucks to SUVs and finally, Indycars. It will take you 16 levels to do that in, if collected N's in every race. So, boom, now you have the Indy car. Now, it needs upgrades, and FAST. Level 17 onward, collect the upgrades that include the Slick tires, Turbo Charger, and Engine strengths. These temporarily boost your vehicle with speed upon running over them, but it will also show your upgrades on the screen just before the race begins. The yellow boxes indicate how much you can upgrade your car on that screen 4Xs. So that means, before that speedy level, 24? you have 7 or so chances to collect each upgrade (only need 4xs) My problem is I usually complete the Nintendo logo when its the level before the speedy level. Therefore, all my upgrades are gone when going from Suv to Indy. Same is true from truck to Suv. SOLUTION: either way you need to memorize where all N's are to either get them all, but just getting them all will not upgrade the machanics of car, just the vehicle. Planning on getting the N's and then you need to memorize where the upgrades are and hit them by running over them. Or... ...do what I tried to do. Avoid the N's altogether to keep opponents from upgrading, a task I haven't been able to perform, for sometimes its hard to avoid hitting the N's. Avoiding the N's though will keep your Trucks', or SUVs' full upgrades, (assuming you hit them on the track) Then your on a level playing field with your opponents. Hope this helps for those who cannot get pass that particular fast level. Otherwise, very fun to play with that arcade type sound and precision track turning.

Focusing on car

Corey Haim (teenager) goes through a phase for driving and diving into trouble. A classic teen coverups most of his problems just to have them revealed to people he tries hiding these coverups from. 1st -- failed driving test and knew it just before data lost and took roadtest when inelligible. 2nd -- friends helping to fix up his grandfather's cars dents 3rd -- unscrewing lightbulb in garage so parent couldn't see car missing 4th -- teen in trunk 5th -- takes teen pass her house to make her think he has license and can drive 6th -- flashes school I.D. when friends wanted to see license 7th -- wasn't straight honest with parents about the driving test (Mom found fail written on paper in his pocket while doing laundry) 8th -- front seat hoping his father didn't see him in car when its ruined This boy went through trial after trial always focused on keeping the car in mint condition, but unable to do so. Keeps people on their toes let me tell you.

Now your in the Major Leagues...

...receiving that slider from Curt Schilling, or winning catch by Polke Reese to close out the Yankees. The action and clarity of the game makes you feel like you were a part of this legendary team. Count on the post season games being the most exciteable, and thereby, most viewed in this dvd. Many records were broken in the series with the Yankees and Cardinals. These Red Sox have something to shoot for then and now that they made it, look at whats happened the last couple of years concerning the team. This is once and a lifetime viewing of documented play by plays including highlights of the rising star David Ortiz aka Big Papi.
