Shortcuts:
Hawaii
A blue scenic overlook sign with red arrow cones will appear in Cruis'n World mode. The instant the sign comes into view, take a hard left onto the off-ramp. Some trick points are awarded by this secret, when doing stunts. Another way to get trick points, is to do a two wheelie slightly behind a car. If done correctly, your car can perform a flip.
Germany
Just before the last ramp on course, steer left so your car is headed towards the left grassy area. A rock side wall on the left will appear. Steer just to the right of the wall. If done correctly, your car will automatically do a flip for more trick points. This trick is handy if you miss the jump.
Australia
Watch carefully after the third set of Kangaroos, to see a dirt road to the left. The trail leads to a ramp, were your car will have enough room to earn a automatic mega-flip. This trail could also be used as a shortcut.
Mexico
As you are approaching one of the turns with a temple on the right, drive towards it slightly, and go just left of it. Your car will crash through some breakable trees and other objects before hitting a jump.
Kenya
Begin game play in cruise mode. Go to the left a short distance before the second check point. Stay to the left and go through the third check point. Follow the trail that is not too far ahead to find a ramp.
New York
Begin game play in cruise mode. Find the off-ramp right after the third check point. Jump off the ramp to get some trick points. Note: Do not try to get on the bridge.
China
Begin game play in cruise mode. Go to the left immediately after the first check point to find a trail. It will jump the road and continue straight until you are back on the track.
