PLAY MODES There are four single player game modes in HotWheelsTM Stunt Track ChallengeTM: Stunt School, Arcade, Game Show and Champions League. Game Show Mode ­ Is the main game mode of HotWheelsTM Stunt Track ChallengeTM. You must complete three stunt challenges and two championship races in each of six different environments to complete the mode. You will need to successfully complete the current stunt challenge or finish first in the current championship race before you can move on to the next challenge or race. Some of the HotWheelsTM vehicles and tracks are locked and unavailable until you earn them in Game Show mode. When you unlock an item, you receive a password. Write this password down and don't lose it! You can enter the password into the Password section of the Options Menu the next time you play and instantly unlock those items again! Passwords are also awarded for successfully completing Lessons in Stunt School. PASSWORDS For every championship race, stunt challenge or Game Show episode that you successfully complete, a trophy appears next to it in the selection screen. Every championship race that you win in Game Show mode will unlock that race track for play in other game modes and award you a new car to use in races. Be sure to record the password displayed on the screen after you win a championship race! Completing all of an environment's races and challenges lets you go on to the next environment. Completing all 30 races and challenges in Game Show mode unlocks the ultimate HotWheelsTM vehicle, as well as the Champions League game mode. 8 9 Stunt School: ­ You've never taken a driving test like this before! If you're new to HotWheelsTM Stunt Track Challenge, this should be your first stop. Stunt School shows you how to master each and every driving skill in the game. Arcade Mode: ­ If you're just looking for a quick HotWheelsTM fix, look no further than Arcade mode! Choose from Quick Race, Check Point Challenge or Test Track to jump straight into the action. Complete each test successfully to continue on to the next lesson. After completing a lesson, you get a Stunt School password that you can use to record your progress through Stunt School. Champions League Mode: ­ Think you're the greatest HotWheelsTM racer of all time? Well, there's only one way to prove it--by completing the Champions League mode! This 12-race challenge puts you up against the toughest HotWheelsTM racers on the planet. You have to finish first in all 12 races to be declared a HotWheelsTM champion. Remember, you need to complete Game Show mode to unlock Champions League mode. MULTIPLAYER Select Multiplayer from the Main Menu to challenge a friend to some HotWheelsTM competition! Choose either a Timed Race or Points Race, select a track and the number of laps you want, then each choose the car you want to use. Take turns racing for the best time, then check the results screen to see who's the winner! Timed Race ­ Select the Timed Race option to find out who is the fastest driver! The winner is the player who has the quickest overall race time. Points Race ­ Select a Points Race if you want to prove who can pull off the wildest stunts! The winner is the player who scores the most stunt points over the course of a race. Check Point Challenge: Similar to the Quick Race, except you must reach each Check Point in the threelap race before your timer expires in order to continue. Test Track: Go for a spin without having to worry about opponents or time limits. (To exit the mode, choose Quit from the Start Menu.) Quick Race: Select Quick Race to jump straight into the action and take on all comers in a single threelap race. The car and track are randomly selected for you from any that you have unlocked so far in Game Show mode. 10 11 PERFORMING STUNTS Speed is only half of the game in HotWheelsTM Stunt Track Challenge. Not only do you have to drive fast and avoid obstacles on the track, you also have to perform stunts during your races to increase your score. Every stunt you successfully perform also raises your boost meter. When your boost meter is full, you can activate your car's booster by pressing the L Button and R Button together, increasing your top speed. Take care when performing stunts ­ if you try to do too many and crash, your boost meter will empty and you'll have to raise it again! Advanced Tricks ­ If you can pull off multiple tricks from the same jump, you can really start to rack up the points! Power Ups- You'll find power-ups scattered along the tracks you race. To pick up a power-up, just drive into it. Power-ups can mean the difference between victory and defeat in a close race, so be sure to scoop up as many as you can! Repulsor Repulsors push nearby vehicles away from you, making it easier to run them off of the road. The effect lasts for ten seconds. Magnet Magnets pull vehicles toward you for ten seconds. If they hit you, they crash on impact! Force Field A vehicle with a Force Field is protected against Repulsors and Magnets for 30 seconds. Jet Boost Picking up a Jet Boost increases your car's handling, making it easier to drive around corners and perform stunts faster. Boost Up Boost Ups instantly fill up your boost meter when you pick them up. Basic Tricks ­ Perform the ...
