Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

The two-lane levels, such as the Rocky Mountains, are easier than they appear. Rather than trying to pass cars on the left and risk a head-on collision, pass them on the right. Apparently you drive a very narrow car as you will not ever crash into the mountain (or go off the road as long as you do not steer too far).

There are at least two endings to this game depending on what place you finish in and whether or not you used any short cuts. You can get the best ending by finishing in first place without using any shortcuts.

Trivia

This video game was featured in the 1992 movie Encino Man.

Sega's familiar Sonic The Hedgehog is shown in this game (actually, this is the first time he's shown in any game), dangling from your rear view mirror as you drive.

Cabinet Information

Apart from the standard upright cabinet, there is also a dedicated sit-down version with a hydraulic seat tilting according to the gameplay events.
