If you do want to take the shortcut, make sure to go through the U-Turn across the bridge, as there are time crates in there. If you only want to get the Sapphire of Gold Relic on this track, you can skip the shortcut and still comfortably earn them. If you go through the left-hand doorway, you'll have a much better angle of approach into the final turn. Hop off the fourth turn's wall turn so you can go through the left-hand doorway at the end. As you go through the second barrel tunnel, you'll want to drive up the inside walls of the first, second and fourth turns, making it the hardest portion of the track. Be careful though not to go too far right in the upper area: there's an invisible wall here there's easy to bump into, taking away your Turbo and Reserves! After the first rolling barrel, cut the next corner by driving up the right-hand wall and jumping off the top edge. Your route won't always be optimal, but that's better than being squashed! Memorize where they'll be when you approach a turn so that you can keep away from danger. The two rolling barrels on this track are very hazardous at high-level play because both of their approaches will be blind. As you may expect, going through this track's shortcut is essential to getting the fasted time, as is driving off the right-hand side of the bridge to skip the U-Turn. Jump early off the ramps immediately before and after the finish line to waste less time in the air. Anything less and you’ll hit the wall and it’ll all go to waste.įrom there the shortcut will go over a bridge and into a U section as it drops you off just past the giant rolling barrel, but this is not the fastest route! Drive off the right-hand side of the bridge before you get to the U section and you’ll save even more time by dropping back down to the main track rather than winding around it. To reach it, you need to go up the side of the half-pipe at top speed and jump off of it to make it. On the outside wall is a square opening located very high up.
After leaving the red-lit area where the track splits and then meet up again, you’ll exit into a wide-open area where the track, now a half-pipe, turns left.
This track features one of the trickier shortcuts to access, which will give you the " Half-Pipe Karting" Trophy when you do it. Having a good approach and not being too greedy can be the difference between passing safely and getting squashed. The main obstacle of this track are a pair of rolling barrels.That being said, you can't ride up the walls quite as well as in the original game, so don't go too high or you'll risk slowing down and/or breaking your Power Slide chain!.This makes it fantastic for long Power Slide chains. This track is more technical with its route than the earlier tracks, but it is somewhat forgiving as much of the track is shaped like a half-pipe.Speed is the Driving Style of choice for this track, as the wide, forgiving half-pipe turns don't challenge the style at all.
You get the Team Bandicoot Body if you beat this track's Trophy Race in the Adventure Mode.
