Excite Truck - Gameplay Hints (Wii)
A simple and exiting racing game
Becoming a true master of Excite Truck isn't an easy task as no two races are exactly the same. While racing, gamers will come across items, which change the course in real-time, causing mountains to grow and land to fall-away into the sea. The key to becoming a truly great racer is learning to respond to these dynamic changes without losing speed.Excite Truck is the first Wii game to make use of the console's SD card slot, allowing users to customize the in-game sound. Players can select their favorite MP3s from a selection on their SD Card and replace the game's music with those tracks. Whatever your taste in music, Excite Truck will be right up your street.Alternate paint:Get an "S" rank on three races with the same truck to unlock its alternate paint color. Alternately, win ten races with a single truck to unlock its alternate paint color. Mirror Race mode:Get an "S" on all Super Excite Race mode tracks. Monster Truck:Unlock the alternate paint schemes for all trucks. The Crazy Super Truck:Get an "S" rank on all races in mirror mode to unlock "The Crazy Super Truck". It is the same as the Super Truck, but has power permanently through the entire race. Therefore, you will not overheat and can always race with the turbo. Crystal Road track:Unlock Super Excite Mode then get passing ranks in every race in the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Cups to unlock the Diamond Cup with the Crystal Road track. Silver Cup:Complete the Bronze Cup. Gold Cup:Complete the Silver Cup. Platinum Cup: Complete the Gold Cup. Jumps:When hitting any type of hill or ramp, tap Turbo(2) (D-pad) in any direction to get the "Extra Turbo Boost". This is helpful for reaching the rings when jumping and to help recover the top spot during the race. It can be used repeatedly, and it's helpful when you are about to overheat. You can cover extremely large gaps in the race even when there is not a cliff below you. Cool down engine:When you use your turbo and your engine starts to overheat, drive in water or a puddle to cool it down.
