Unlockables
Adventure 2
Complete the second Wizpig race in space and watch the credits. Adventure 2 will then be unlocked.
Opening the cracked wall
At the start of the game, follow the track round until
you go in a tunnel. In here, there is a cracked wall with a picture
of Wizpig. Draw round Wizpig's head (ears included) and the wall
should smash open. You must be quite accurate and it may take
a few attempts.
Play as Drumstick
Look for the mountain with the Frog Effigy. It is to the left of Wizpig's head. Use the stylus to pull back the frog and let go to release it. Try to launch it up to the Frog Effigy. When you do this successfully, a short intermission sequence will play and a new frog with a chicken head will jump out. Run this frog over to unlock Drumstick. His stats are:
- Top Speed: 4/5
- Handling: 2/5
- Acceleration: 5/5
He is the best racer in the plane.
Play as Taj
Collect all 47 balloons, have the full Wizpig Amulet, and get all gold trophies. After you have done this, go to Future Fun Land and start the final Wizpig Battle. Once you defeat Wizpig you will unlock Taj. His stats are:
- Top Speed: 5/5
- Handling: 1/5
- Acceleration: 1/5
He is the best racer in the car, although his stats will make
you think otherwise.
Play as T.T.
Beat all of T.T's times in Time Trial mode with every
vehicle. You must also have the full T.T. amulet. You will see
his ghost when you start the Time Trial. You must beat this. Once
you defeat his ghost in every level, with every vehicle (including
the unlockables), T.T. will be playable. His stats are:
lofe tt, hp fpc nvyh
- Top Speed: 5/5
- Handling: 4/5
- Acceleration: 5/5
He is the best racer in the hovercraft and is a very good, all-round
racer in every vehicle.
Play as Wizpig
Complete Adventure 2 mode to unlock Wizpig. Like Taj,
his stats look bad, but he is still good. His stats are:
- Top Speed: 5/5
- Handling: 1/5
- Acceleration: 1/5
Accessing Future Fun Land
Once you get all the trophies and complete the sign,
it will look as if the island is saved and the credits will roll.
However, all is not completed. Go to the lighthouse at the beach
and it will turn into a rocket. After the intermission sequence
ends, drive into the portal of light where the lighthouse used
to be. You will be teleported to a new world, Future Fun Land.
Hints
Adventure mode: Hidden balloon
Talk to Taj to get a plane. Fly just past the island
and on the west side you will see fourteen dots. Take your stylus
and draw a balloon. You will receive the hidden balloon. Note:
If you do not do it correctly you will hear a noise. If this happens,
try again.
Ancient Lake: Secret key
At the start of the Ancient Lake level, there will
be a ramp on the right. Collect a blue balloon and boost up the
ramp collecting the key.
Beach: Easy coins
When you go to the Beach, there should be a series
of dots in the sand. Connect them into a circle. A number of coins
will fall. Collect them all. Keep repeating this until it no longer
accepts the dots joined up.
Beach: Secret balloon
Go down to the Beach where you join the dots. Instead of drawing a circle, draw a balloon. A secret balloon will appear. This may require a few attempts.
Beach: Scratch card
Go down to the sand where you join the dots. Connect the dots to make a pentagon shape to get a free Scratch Card.
Beach: Cracks in the wall
Go down to the beach and touch a coconut tree with
your stylus. Pull one of the trees back and release it. You can
make three cracks in the wall. Collect them quickly. Coins will
appear which can quickly disappear after about ten seconds.
Boulder Canyon: Secret key
Go across the drawbridge and hit the blue balloon and
the little bell. You should now have a boost. Turn around and
wait until the drawbridge is fully raised. Boost up it and you
should now be sitting on a ledge with the key.
Crescent Island: Secret key
Start the Crescent Island level and pass by the big
river on your left. After this river, there will be a little lagoon.
The key is in here.
Dino Domain: Loose Balloon
On the road up to Dino Domain, there will be a balloon
sitting there waiting to be collected.
Snowflake Mountian: Ice balloon
On the way to Snowflake Mountain, to the right of the
entrance will be a balloon in an Ice Block. Use the stylus to
slide it all the way down the path and into the water. It will
float all the way down the river and will be thawed out, waiting
to be collected at the beach.
Snowball Valley: Secret key
After passing through the Snowball valley and exiting
the igloo tunnel, move through the Balloon row that you see. Go
down the straightaway to the finish line. Then, hang a left just
before the candy cane holding up the finish line banner. Move
up the hill towards a picket fence, then turn right to find a
small cubbyhole containing the key
More effective turbo boosts
You can get more effective turbo boosts by releasing
A before you hit a zipper or by using a blue balloon. You
will hear and see a difference.
Drafting
When playing in Adventure mode or Single Race mode,
you can gain speed and overtake a racer by driving behind them
until white speed lines appear behind you. Note: You must stay
directly behind a racer for this to work.
T.T. Amulet
Get all of the secret keys nd open all the doors with
them. Defeat T.T. in all the tracks you create and you will gain
a piece each time. Make the track shorter for a quicker win.
Wizpig Amulet
Defeat the Bosses from each World twice (the first
Battle and the Boss Rematch).
100 Coins
After defeat the Bosses the second time you can go
back and try the Boss Touch Challenge. They are very difficult,
especially the one at Dino Domainone.
Banjo series references
The key in the Snowball Valley looks like the Ice
Key from the Banjo series.
The Silver Coins look like the ones in Spiller's Harbor from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.
Glitches
Mirror mode maps
On all of the Mirror mode tracks, the maps on the bottom
screen are like what they should look like on a normal track.
