Weapons Info Page

BallBearing: These large spheres of metal are released from the back of your car, stopping all that are unfortunate to run into its path. Use these suckers to stop pesky tailgaters, or in narrow paths where it would be hard to avoid.

Turbo Battery: Using this powerup gives a few seconds of extra juice, making your car faster by 10 percent! It's best to use these only on straight-aways as your car becomes slightly harder to control.

Bomb: Picking this powerup will turn your antenna into a fuse, fizzing down slowly until... BOOM!!! Your car will explode, giving your opponents several seconds to catch up. If you run into another car before it explodes, then they get the fuse. Transfer it and run, baby!

Clone: This will drop a 'fake' pickup behind you. Any car (including your own) that picks it up will explode. Be sure to remember where you drop it! Most effective when there are cars right behind you. Hehehe.

Electro Pulse: Electrifies your vehicle, sending megavolts of shock treatment to any cars in your immediate area. All of your victims will overload and shutdown for a few seconds. An excellent weapon while passing a group of cars.

Fireworks: Bottle Rockets anyone? Comes in a one-shot or three-pack for your blasting convenience. These suckers will head in the general direction of your target (which will be lit up with a green crosshair). A hit will flip the car, distracting them for a couple of seconds. Be careful, however. You really need to be directly behind them to make a successful hit, and if you attack them too close you will be affected by the blast also.

Oil Slick: Drop one of these to teach your enemies what its like to lose traction! Not very effective if there aren't any cars behind you. Use with care.

Shockwave: The ultimate road clearer. Shoots a sphere of energy straight ahead, flipping every car it comes in contact with. Like the fireworks, wait until you have a clean line of sight before letting this off. A good shot can put you back into the race.

Water Balloons: Not just for kids anymore! Lobs a small water balloon straight ahead, breaking on impact. Any cars in the blast radius will slip and lose control. Target must be in front of you by a few meters to hit. Aiming the balloon takes practice. Patience, Grasshopper.

Secret Star/Global Pulse: Not a weapon per se, but boy does it pack a doozy. The star is placed in a difficult area to reach, and getting one demonstrates your keen driving skills on a level. Collecting the Secret Star in any race mode will shut down ALL of your opponent's cars for a few seconds. While this is an powerful item, it usually takes a few extra seconds to get the item, negating the effect. Note that in Practice Mode and in the Stunt Arena the Secret Stars perform serve another purpose - unlocking special things in the game!
