[1] ENGLISH Important: Safety information about video games About photosensitive seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Play safely Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience an unpleasant sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a doctor. Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration on if you have any ailment in the bones or joints of your fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.

TNT EXPLOSIVE CRATES Drop these on the track to give the racers behind you a nasty surprise. If they drive into one of these killer crates, it'll latch onto their head and start counting down. If the fuse runs out, they'll wipe out when it explodes in their face. If they jump enough times while the crate is on their head, it will come loose and fly off into the air. Juiced ­ Your TNT crate will be upgraded to a green NITRO crate that explodes as soon as someone hits it. TURBO BOOSTS A free bottle of boost! Use this item to get an extra boost of speed and zip ahead of your opponents or out of the way of a missile. Juiced ­ Get an even longer and bigger boost. BOWLING BOMBS When Velo goes bowling, he doesn't fool around! These bombs shoot out from your kart in a straight line until they explode against a wall or, with luck, another kart! If your aim is a little off, you can detonate the bomb remotely when it's next to your target. To do this, just press Powerup Key again. If there's a kart (or missile) on your tail, hold Controller Key Down and press Power-up Key to shoot the bomb backwards. Juiced ­ The bomb moves faster and the explosion radius is even bigger. HOMING MISSILES These lock on to the nearest opponent you can see and zoom after them. They'll explode on contact and send your opponent into a killer tumble. If you see a set of crosshairs on your character, it means you've been targeted, so start dodging! Juiced ­ The missile goes faster and tracks the target better. 10 INVINCIBILITY MASKS Activate this item to get your team mascot (Aku Aku for Team Bandicoot, Uka Uka for Team Evil) to spin around your kart as a protective shield for a short time. While it's active, weapons and hazards can't hurt you, and any karts that you "accidentally" bump into will spin out. You'll also go slightly faster while the mask is active. Juiced ­ Your mascot mask will stick around to protect you longer. ENGLISH TORNADO TOPS You can easily even the odds with this This protective green bubble will save you from getting hit by one weapon or hazard. You can also attack your opponents with it by bumping into them while it's on or by launching it using Power-up Key. Once activated, it will fade Key away after a few seconds even if you don't use it. Juiced ­ The blue juiced bubble still goes away when you hit something, but it has no time limit. This mine will put anyone who drives over it into a giant ice cube, causing slippery steering. Put it near tight corners to cause less wary racers to get iced up. Juiced ­ The ice cube will take longer to melt and will send you into a spinout. POWER SHIELDS powerful weapon. When you release this super cyclone, it will immediately home in on whoever is in first place and catch his kart up in a mini tornado. Of course, anyone unlucky enough to get in its path will also get caught up in a tiny twister. Juiced ­ A more deadly tornado top will knock out more people along the way. INVISIBILITY (Bluetooth® Multiplayer Game Play only) Activate this Power-up to become invisible to all your opponents. You'll still see a ghost of yourself, but no one else in the arena will be able to see you. Great for sneak attacks. Juiced ­ Stay invisible even longer. FREEZING MINES N. TROPY CLOCKS This wicked watch will allow you to alter time and slow down every other kart on the track. When you activate it, all of your opponents will spin out and become sluggish. This is a great way to come back from behind, so take advantage of it. Juiced ­ The time effect will last even longer. SUPER ENGINES (Bluetooth® Multiplayer Game Play only) Replace the engine in your kart with something a bit more tricked out. For a short time, you'll zip around faster than any other kart in the arena. It's just the thing for outrunning speeding missiles. But the engine will run out after a few seconds, so use it or lose it! Juiced ­ A little more funk in your trunk. 11 ENGLISH HIGH SCORES Best times in Time Trial mode are saved for each track.
