during the replay.Shortcuts:

There is building that appears to be a gas station
approximately two thirds of the way through the Medium and Hard
Level tracks. Make a hard left turn at this building to reach
a fence. Use the Auto Jacks to jump the fence. Use the Chopper
Blades to cut the trees blocking the path. While driving over
the trees the surface will be muddy, so use the Belt Tires for
better traction and speed. A small lake will appear. Activate
either the Defender Dome or the Frogger buttons (one automatically
activates the other). After the lake is another fence that is
just in front of a waterfall. Jump this fence and make a hard
left turn to avoid hitting the far wall next to the waterfall.
Race to the finish line. This shortcut will allow almost half
of the track to be skipped.
In the medium and long tracks (just after the gas station two
thirds of the way through), on the left hand side of the course
there appears to be an uncompleted overhead pass. Use the Auto
Jacks to jump on the overpass, then switch to Belt Tires over
the mud. Then Auto Jack over the barrier at the end of the short
cut.
Information in this section was submitted by Stephen Ang.Tunnel shortcut:

You can break through any of the doors that are in
the tunnels if they are hit at near full speed. Breaking through
the first door in the first tunnel leads to a small shortcut that
includes jumping a fence and going through water. In this secret
part of the tunnel is also a 90 degree turn to the left and another
door.Hints:

Leaving the Belt Tires activated will result in a slower
top speed on the race track. Leaving the Chopper Blades activated
affects handling slightly.
