X-CRE =============================================================================== 1) INTRODUCTION [X-INT] =============================================================================== (Taken from the instruction booklet) Urban racing isn't easy. Lampposts. Pesky street signs. Traffic. And those pedestrians! Who do they think they are, just walking on the sidewalk like that? But, you're brave. And crazy. And that's impressive. You're welcome. Welcome to Midtown Madness 3. Here, you have the freedom to drive what you want, where you want, how you want, and through the power of Xbox Live – with whomever you want. No set course through checkpoints. Just you, making your own decisions on how to win races through real cities in real vehicles. In addition to the insane urban racing you've come to expect from Midtown Madness, this game has new vehicles, new cities, new multiplayer games, a new Work Undercover mode, and Xbox Live... so rest assured you spent your money wisely. To quote the legendary Dieter Kleinmann: "Eines Tages warden wir in einer Welt Rennen fahren, in der alle Rennstars Sauerkraut un Wurste umsonst bekommen!"* * We don't know what that means. =============================================================================== 2) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [X-FAQ] =============================================================================== Q: How many cars are there in the game? A: Counting 32 default cars and the 2 secret ones, there are 34 altogether. Q: So how exactly do I unlock the cars? A: You can unlock cars by progressing through the Blitz, Checkpoint, and Work Undercover modes. If you want to see how to unlock a certain car, check the "Car Statistics" section. Q: What are the paint jobs for? A: Paint jobs give you access to more colours for your cars. These paint jobs are scattered throughout the cities; also, note that you can only retrieve a paint job for the car that it was meant for. For example: you cannot get a paint job for the Ambulance if you are currently using the Fire Truck. Q: I found a paint can labelled as '?????'. What's it for? A: There are two of these elusive cans, one in each city; they unlock the two secret cars (ASP in Paris, Serpent MK2 in Washington DC). See the 'Secret Cars' section for more details. Q: What's the fastest car? A: Hands down, no competition whatsoever, the Koenigsegg CC. Just remember that speed is not necessarily the key factor for winning races in Midtown Madness 3; this is urban racing and, as such, you're going to encounter traffic - and when in a particularly fast car, you just might lose control and crash. Q: Where is the best location to achieve my top speed? A: The highways/freeways or the subways; generally, any long road will do. Q: What can I do in Cruise mode? A: Look for paint jobs, learn the streets for good racing routes, get chased by police, explore the streets, etc. Q: What do the police do? A: What they *should* do – track down any miscreants on the road. If you're caught doing anything that may harm others, the police will magically appear out of nowhere and basically chase you around. They'll call for reinforcements once in a while, and when they catch up to you, don't fret – your car should be more than enough to make a getaway. =============================================================================== 3) BASIC INFORMATION [X-BAS] =============================================================================== Before racing through the streets of Washington DC and/or making your way to racing stardom, you'll have to create yourself a game 'Profile'. Profiles are handy in the manner that they track all of your statistics throughout the game, such as: * The number of cars you've unlocked, * The settings you've applied, * Your progress in Work Undercover mode, * Your progress in Blitz Mode, and * Your progress in Checkpoint Mode. After creating a profile and naming it (don't worry if you don't like the name you entered; you can always rename it later), you're free to roam the streets! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1) MODES OF PLAY [B-MOD] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORK UNDERCOVER: Select a city – either Paris or Washington DC – and traverse through a mysterious plot as you get in your career. Start with a low-class job and an equally low-class car, but as you complete the given missions, you'll be promoted to higher, more significant jobs. More jobs = more missions, and getting ever-close to uncovering the real story... SINGLE RACE: Single Race contains three modes of play: * Cruise Mode: Explore the streets, find paint jobs, wreck havoc and get chased by the police, all at your own leisure. * Blitz Mode: Race through the checkpoints and finish before the time runs out. * Checkpoint Mode: The same as Blitz Mode, but this time around you have opponents that race against you. MULTIPLAYER: Beat your friends senseless through multiplayer (split screen), System Link (link with another Xbox) or Xbox Live. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2) CONTROLS [B-CON] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't feel comfortable with your current configuration, remember that you can always change it by going to Options > Controller Setup from the Main Menu. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= MENU CONTROLS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * A Button – Select an option * B Button – Return to previous menu * Left Thumbstick – Scroll through the options =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= RACING CONTROLS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *************************************** CONFIGURATION A (Default configuration) *************************************** * Left Thumbstick (1) - Steer * Left Thumbstick (2) - Click the Left Thumbstick to toggle between talking to your team and all players in Xbox Live. * Right Thumbstick (1) - Use your rear mirrors to look up/left/right/back. * Right Thumbstick (2) – Click to enlarge the in-game map. * Left Trigger - Brake or reverse * Right Trigger - Accelerate * Directional Pad - Steer * A button - Handbrake * B button - Shift Up (only works if your car is in manual transmission) * X button - Shift Down (only works if your car is in manual transmission) * Y button - Use horn/siren * Black button - Change camera view * White button - Turn headlights on/off * Back button - Reset car (it will taken back to the nearest road) * Start button - Pause game *************** CONFIGURATION B *************** * Left Thumbstick (1) - Steer * Left Thumbstick (2) - Click the Left Thumbstick to toggle between talking to your team and all players in Xbox Live. * Right Thumbstick (1) - Use your rear mirrors to look up/left/right/back. * Right Thumbstick (2) - Click to enlarge the in-game map. * Left Trigger - Shift Down (only works if your car is in manual transmission) * Right Trigger - Shift Up (only works if your car is in manual transmission) * Directional Pad - Steer * A button - Accelerate * B button - Handbrake * X button - Brake or reverse * Y button - Use horn/siren * Black button - Change camera view * White button - Turn headlights on/off * Back button - Reset car (it will taken back to the nearest road) * Start button - Pause game *************** CONFIGURATION C *************** NOTE: Configuration C is mainly designed for use with a steering wheel.

PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) To the left side of page 23 is a garden, East of Place De La Concorde. On one of the walls surrounding the garden is a ramp that will lead you to this paint job. Gather enough speed by driving along the wall then hit the ramp, and within no time you'll reach it. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of the Whitehurst Freeway (page 24) is what seems to be two roads that stick out into the Potomac River, but are actually part of a dock. Head over there, and find the mound of dirt West of "Rock Creek and Potomac Pkwy". You will need that mound of dirt to reach the paint job – it might seem easy, but it's actually pretty hard. I suggest starting where the Whitehurst Freeway connects to the dock, and making your way to the mound of dirt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Ambulance STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Acceleration – XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Handling - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Durability - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Paramedic Job in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) The first paint job is in Paris, where the hospital is. Look for a blue medical symbol on page 23. It is near the "Boulevard Des Batignolles", located somewhere at the top of the page. Head over to the second level of the hospital, and you should find the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Look for the Lincoln Memorial at page 24, right beside the Potomac River. On the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial is the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Armored Car STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Acceleration – XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Security Guard Job in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) You'll find this hidden paint job at the lower right area of page 23, where there is a small section there roughly shaped like a C, with two smaller grassy areas. Drive over there to get the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) To the left side of page 25 is the Washington Monument, where the paint job is located. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Audi S4 Avant STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Acceleration – XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Handling - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Durability - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the first six Blitz Races in Paris. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Go to where Quai Des Tuileries begins (found on the left side of page 23). From there, you should be where the street enters Place De La Concorde. If you look up, the paint job should be floating in mid-air. Drive on top of one of the walls near the garden, and use the jump to get it. PAINT JOB #2 (Paris) Somewhere at the bottom of page 23 is the place where the La Seine and Notre Dame meet. The paint job is floating in the air over there, which means you have to use the ramp to get it. Gain enough speed to reach it. PAINT JOB #3 (Washington DC) Locate the Whitehurst Freeway on page 24, then drive towards the place where it bends Northward towards Georgetown University. To the East should be a section that you can drive along south of a small river. Keep on driving to the east from south of that river until you come across a ramp with the paint job above it. Use the ramp to get the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Audi TT STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Durability - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Special Agent job in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) On the right side of page 22, locate the Cours Alpert 1ER and Quai D'Orsay. In between these two streets is La Seine, and floating above it is the pain job. Use the ramp on the northern side of the La Seine with some speed to reach it. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Right side of page 25 is the US Capitol, to the right of a trapezium-shaped pool. Use the ramp on the southern side of the building to grab the paint job in mid-air over Independence Avenue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Cadillac Escalade STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Acceleration – XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Mass - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington Limo Driver in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) East of the Notre Dame on the South side of the La Seine is this paint job. Get it by driving down onto the walkway next to the La Seine until you reach the dead end, where you should see a mound of dirt behind some cones. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Look for a grey area full of little buildings North from the Washington Channel and East to "Raoul Wallenberg Pl.", found on the lower section of page 25. Amongst these buildings you'll find a curved ramp, and above it is the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Cement Truck STATISTICS: Top Speed - OOOOOOOOO (0/9) Acceleration – OOOOOOOOO (0/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Handling - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the first six Checkpoint races in Washington DC. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Find a red M symbol to lower right section of page 23. South of that symbol should be two small parks. Go to the park closest to the South – it should be the park with four very small grassy areas. Right in the middle of that park is the simple-to-get paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of the Reflecting Pool (page 24) is a large grassy area – this is a soccer field. In the centre of the soccer field is the paint job, and somewhere on the field is a giant soccer ball too, which you can use to score goals (although the game doesn't keep track of your score >_>). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Mass - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the tenth Checkpoint race in Washington DC. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Find "Avenue De La Bourdonnais" on page 22, east of the Eiffel Tower. South of that road should be an area with four orange buildings. On the rooftop of one of those buildings is the paint job; start your run South of the Eiffel Tower and make your way through the park where you'll find a ramp. Use this to get on top of one of the buildings, where there is another ramp. Make that last jump, and hopefully you'll get the paint job. PAINT JOB # (Washington DC) Above the centre of page 25 is an area full of orange buildings – Chinatown. South of Chinatown is an orange building with a grey square in front of it. From where that grey square is, face North and travel West 1 block, and North 2 blocks. To your left should be a small alleyway with two large dark-yellow bins. At the end of that alleyway is the ramp you should use to get on top of one of the Chinatown buildings, where the paint job is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Chevrolet SSR STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Acceleration – XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Mass - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the first three Blitz races in Washington DC. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) A little below the centre of page 23 is a little park with green and orange areas, south-east of the "Palais Royal" building. On the eastern side of this park there is a wall you can drive on. Above the wall is the paint job; use the stairs at the end of the wall to reach it. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Find Georgetown University at the upper left section of page 24. Keep on driving east from the unnamed street one block North of M St. N.W. (which is south-east of Georgetown University). At the end of the unnamed street is a mound of dirt, and the paint job hanging in mid-air. Start travelling from the street going North, gather speed, and hit the mound of dirt to grab the paint job. It may take a few tries, so try jumping off the dirt at different angles. PAINT JOB #3 (Washington DC) Like the last paint job, this one is located south-east of Georgetown University. It is next to a river that flows between M St. N.W. and the Whitehurst Freeway. Find the landing along this river where the Whitehurst Freeway turns Northward. You'll know you're near the paint job when you come across some ramps that will lead you to the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Chrysler Crossfire STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Mass - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Handling - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Durability - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the tenth Blitz race in Washington DC. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) The left side of page 23 shows you Place De La Concorde, and south from there on the northern side of the La Seine is the paint job floating in the air. Start driving from the West, and drop down to the La Seine walkway. Drive to the east, and hit the walkway stairs leading to the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Locate the words "National Mall" on page 25. South of the National Mall is a small building shaped like a circle, and east of that building is another orange building (very) roughly shaped like a rectangle. Make your way onto the western side of this building where you should find a ramp. Gather enough speed to jump off this ramp to reach the paint job in the air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Chrysler PT Turbo STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Mass - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington Rental Car job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Drive over to the southern side of the La Seine walkway, Northwest of the Eiffel Tower (lower section of page 22). There you will find a ramp leading to the paint job that is right next to a bridge; it shouldn't be that hard to get. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of Chinatown (centre of page 25) is a construction site that is shown as a remote orange building on the map. Find the wooden ramp at the construction site, and jump off it with enough speed to receive the paint job hanging in mid-air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Dodge Viper SRT-10 STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Durability - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington DC Private Eye job in Work Undercover mode. The Dodge Viper SRT-10 does not have any paint jobs for you to collect. Disappointing, no? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Fire Truck STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Acceleration – XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Handling - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the first six Checkpoint races in Paris.

PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) On page 25 there is a place called "National Mall", and North from there is a building roughly shaped like cross. Drive to the South side of this building, to the left. The paint job should be over there, hidden behind a couple of walls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: FLE STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Acceleration – XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Mass - OOOOOOOOO (0/9) Handling - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Durability - XOOOOOOOO (1/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Delivery Guy job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Locate the Sacre Coeur on page 23. North of the Sacre Coeur is a little square area with a line of green on its eastern side – this is an outdoor dining area. Look for the paint job there. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Find your way onto the southern side of the U.S Capitol Building on page 25, where there is a wooden ramp. Use it to reach the paint job that is floating in mid-air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Ford 1967 2+2 Fastback STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Mass - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Handling - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Durability - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington DC Stunt Car Driver job in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Notice that on the mini map (and on page 22) there is a white line on the La Seine, south-west of the Eiffel Tower. Head over to that white line, and find a ramp at either end. Once you've found it, drive to the other end and gain speed so that you can hit the ramp and reach the paint job in mid-air. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Between the U.S. Capitol Building and Independence Avenue (on the lower section of page 25), there is a loop-de-loop. At the end of the loop-de-loop is the paint job; gain speed to get onto the loop and once you're on it, position your car in a way that will allow you to grab the paint job. PAINT JOB #3 (Washington DC) The centre of page 24 shows a building that looks like a backwards "C". South of that building is a rectangular-shaped building. Find your way onto the northern side where there is a ramp; hit it with enough speed to receive the paint job up in the air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Freightliner Century Class S/T STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Acceleration – XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Handling - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the first six Blitz races in Washington DC.

You can find the paint job there. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) To the right of page 24 is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. North from there is Virginia Avenue, and next to the middle of this road is a garden. The paint job is somewhere in the garden. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Garbage Truck STATISTICS: Top Speed - XOOOOOOOO (1/9) Acceleration – XOOOOOOOO (1/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Handling - XOOOOOOOO (1/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: This car is already available when you start the game. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) On the upper part of page 23, find a blue medical symbol next to Boulevard Des Batignolles. Now, to the east of the medical symbol is a green square-shaped area with a red metro symbol on one of its corners. In-between the medical symbol and the green area is an unnamed road that runs northbound/southbound, and at the northern end of this road is the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of Chinatown (on page 25) is construction site, shown as a remote orange building on the map. From where the construction site is, face North to Chinatown and drive West one block and North 2 blocks. You should be in (or near) an alleyway with lots of boxes, bicycles, chairs and tables. You can find the paint job in the alleyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Hummer H2 SUV STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Acceleration – XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Mass - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington Car Salesman job in Work Undercover Mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Find "Arc De Triomphe" on page 22. One of the roads leading out from the Arc is Avenue De Wagram, and 1 block north from there is a narrow road. Drive to the north-western end of the narrow road, where the paint job is. Look for a blue car rental place. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Look for a remote orange building 2 blocks south from Chinatown on page 25. One block east from the orange building is a police station (shown as a blue symbol on the mini-map – it isn't shown in the game's manual). Drive up the ramp located at the police station where the paint job is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Koenigsegg CC STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Mass - XOOOOOOOO (1/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - OOOOOOOOO (0/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete everything to unlock this car. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) There is a remote rectangular orange building which runs along "Quai Anatole France" on the southern side of the La Seine (page 23), and one block east from that orange rectangular building is a street with the hard-to-reach paint job in the air. What you need to do is drive to the other side of the La Seine to the street where the Musee Du Louvre is, gather enough speed to hit the ramp there and cross over to the northern side of the La Seine, and claim that paint job in the air. It's not simple. PAINT JOB #1 (Washington DC) Find Dupont Circle at the upper right section of page 24. Hanging above one of the northern buildings near Dupont Circle is the paint job; but first, find the ramp leading to the rooftop of a building. Once you've done so, you can choose one of three choices: 1 – Hit the first ramp and head straight towards the paint job (with a lot of speed) 2 – Hit the first ramp, then the second, and then the third to get the paint job 3 – Hit the first ramp and go straight towards the third ramp to get the paint job. I recommend taking choices one or three. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Limousine STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Acceleration – XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Mass - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Handling - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Durability - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Chauffeur job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) South-east of the Notre Dame (lower right section of page 23) is a small white squarish area containing two orange figures; one like a triangle (except it has 4 sides >_>), and the other like a dot. Drive to where the small orange dot is, where the paint job is hidden. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) West of the U.S. Capitol Building on the lower right section of page 25 is a trapezium-shaped pool of water. Find the ramp on the western side of this pool, and in no time you will receive the paint job floating above the pool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Lotus Esprit V8 STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Mass - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the tenth Paris Blitz race.

Drive down to the walkway next to the La Seine and build enough speed to hit the stairs and grab the paint in the air. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) West of the U.S. Capitol Building on page 25 is the National Mall. On the middle of this long area of grass are two ramps; and high above the grass is the lonesome paint job. Start your drive at the Washington Monument, build up speed as you head towards the National Mall (remember to stay on the cement, as the grass slows you down a lot!), hit the western ramp, and nick that paint job in mid-air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Mini Cooper S STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Mass - XOOOOOOOO (1/9) Handling - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Durability - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the first three Blitz races in Paris.

PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) North-east of where the Arc De Triomphe is (page 22) is a street called "Boulevard De Courcelles". This street has a small area where the paint job can be found; it is east of what looks like a semi-circle shaped garden/park. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of the National Mall (below the centre of page 25) is a circle-shaped building, and south of the building is an area where there is a pool of water. Drive within the pool where you can find the paint job on the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Paris Police STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Acceleration – XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Police Officer job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) North of the Pallais Royal on page 23 is a blue star symbol; that is the Paris Police Station. Drive up the ramp at the police station to receive the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) East of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a small lake, to the right of page 24. High above the centre of the small lake is the paint job – drive to the south side of the lake and use the wooden ramp there to launch yourself to the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Paris Taxi STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Acceleration – XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Mass - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Paris Taxi Driver job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Just east of the Hotel Des Invalides on page 23 is a blue "P" symbol, which represents a parking garage. High above the ground right next to the parking garage is the paint job – drive up to the top floor of the garage and smash the white supports. Once you've done so, fall down to earth to get the paint job. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) West of the intersection of the Whitehurst Freeway and Wisconsin Avenue on the upper left part of page 24 is a construction site. Drive to the top floor of the construction site and drive off it to receive the paint job in mid-air. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Renault 1985 R5 STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Acceleration – XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Mass - OOOOOOOOO (0/9) Handling - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Durability - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) TO UNLOCK: This car is already available when you start the game. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) To the upper left section of page 23 is a blue hospital symbol - the Paris hospital. Drive up the ramp located at this hospital and head over to the edge of the third floor, where the paint job is situated. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) To the east of a grassy area called "National Mall" on page 25 is a small place where there are a few curved ramps. Above one of the curved ramps is the paint job; use the southern ramp to launch yourself to the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Saab 9-3 Turbo STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Acceleration – XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) TO UNLOCK: Win the tenth Checkpoint race in Paris. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) North-west of the Eiffel Tower on page 22 is a street that has the paint job floating in the air, just north of Avenue Du President Kennedy but south of Avenue Paul Doumer. Hit the mound of dirt provided to launch yourself to the paint job in mid-air (with some speed, of course) and descend down to earth. If you don't get it the first time around (or any time for that matter), drive up the set of stairs on the side of the street to find the mound of dirt again. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Wow, this paint job is evil. It is located above a freeway that runs north/south, west of 23rd street on page 24. First, drive just east from the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 23rd street. There should be a place there which looks like an outdoor dining area, full of chairs and tables. At the western end of this place is a ramp, and beyond the ramp is the paint job hovering above some trees. Now you know where this paint job is, start your drive at either Washington Circle or Lincoln Memorial. If you start at Washington Circle, drive south until you come close to the dining area, where you will turn right. There's a high chance you will hit the cement wall or the building, but hopefully you won't lose most of your speed if you do so. From there, hit the ramp where you can have the chance to grab the paint job in the air. The same thing goes if you start at Lincoln Memorial, except you will be travelling north and turning left when you get closer to the dining area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Volkswagen New Beetle RSI STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Durability - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) TO UNLOCK: This car is already available when you start the game. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) On the roof of the Hotel Des Invalides (lower right part of page 22, south-east of the Eiffel Tower) is this paint job. Use the wooden ramp on the eastern side of this building to get up there. Build up some speed by driving through the street connecting to the ramp, then hit the ramp, and (try to) land on the rooftop. You will be able to see the paint job easily from anywhere on the rooftop, so it isn't a problem to find it. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Find Louisiana Avenue, Constitution Avenue, and 1st Street south-west of Union Station (on page 25). These three streets surround a triangular park with a fountain in the centre. The paint job is in north of the fountain, but the only way to get it is to use the ramp south of the fountain because the paint job is just above the ground. Start at Constitution Avenue, gaining speed as you approach the ramp. Hopefully when you land you would have received the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Washington DC Bus STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Acceleration – XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Mass - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) Handling - XXOOOOOOO (2/9) Durability - XXXXXXXXX (9/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the first three Checkpoint races in Washington DC. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) North of the Pantheon on page 23 is a steep hill, and on the side of the steep hill is a small horizontal area that you can drive on. Drive right on the edge of the horizontal area to claim the paint job as you fall onto the street below. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) Start your drive at Washington Circle, on page 24. Drive north onto 23rd Street, and turn west onto M St. N.W. after a block or so. From M St. N.W., drive west until you are just about to cross over Rock Creek and Potomac PKWY. Then drive south onto a grassy area, where the paint job can be found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Washington DC Police STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Mass - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) TO UNLOCK: Complete the Washington DC Police Officer job in Work Undercover mode. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Find the Sacre Coeur on page 23, on the northern side of the La Seine. A little to the west of this building are two squarish gardens/parks, and in-between them is a narrow alleyway where the paint job is located. This alleyway is concealed underneath the Sacre Coeur symbol on the game's manual, but you can see it from the in-game mini map. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) In the centre of Dupont Circle (right side of page 24) is a fountain, and on top of the fountain is the paint job. The only way to get it is to use the wooden ramp on the northern end of 19th Street to launch yourself to it; start at the southern end of 19th Street while you build up speed as you approach the ramp. Try to hit the ramp right in the centre so you have a better chance to get the paint job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Washington DC Taxi STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Acceleration – XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Mass - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) TO UNLOCK: This car is already available when you start the game. PAINT JOB #1 (Paris) Find and drive to the Sacre Coeur on page 23, on the northern side of the La Seine. Explore the inner grounds of this building, and you should come across two small archways; claim the paint job under one of the archways. PAINT JOB #2 (Washington DC) South of Chinatown on page 25 is a remote orange square with a smaller grey square in front of it, 2 blocks east of the FBI Building. This orange square is a construction site. You can find the paint job right next to the top floor hovering high above the ground; drive to the top floor and drive off it to receive the paint job before you drop back to earth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.2) SECRET VEHICLES [C-SEC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two secret vehicles in Midtown Madness 3: the ASP and the Serpent MK2. To unlock these cars, you'll have to collect their paint cans labelled as '?????', one in each of the cities; these paint cans have been cleverly placed in two obscure locations, but with the right car and some skill, you'll retrieve these two secret cars in no time. Please note that though it is recommended, you do not necessarily need the Koenigsegg CC to get the cans - the Ford 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback can still get the job done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: ASP STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Mass - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Handling - XXXXXOOOO (5/9) Durability - XXXOOOOOO (3/9) LOCATION: Paris The paint can for the ASP is located high above the Quai Des Tuileries street along the river Seine; to get there, you'll have to back up all the way from the Musee Du Louvre (even more if you feel like your car won't be able to handle it). From there, hit the trigger and drive towards the Quai Des Tuileries, all the while staying on the left-hand sidewalk. Eventually you'll hit the ramp on the sidewalk, sending your car into the air and – hopefully – catching the paint can in the process. To make your job easier, push any obstacles on the sidewalk (street signs and the like) out of the way so your car won't slow down or suffer any damage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEHICLE: Serpent MK2 STATISTICS: Top Speed - XXXXXXXXO (8/9) Acceleration – XXXXXXXOO (7/9) Mass - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) Handling - XXXXXXOOO (6/9) Durability - XXXXOOOOO (4/9) LOCATION: Washington DC The can for the Serpent MK2 is located near the intersection of 'M ST. N.W.' and the 'Whitehurst Freeway', on the road along the Georgetown University (remember that this can be easily found towards the west side of your map of Washington DC). From the Washington Circle, drive at full speed along the Whitehurst Freeway. The road will eventually curve to the right – stay on it at full speed – and onto a hill; if you had enough speed and hit the hill at the right angle, it should have sent your car into the air and into the mysterious paint can, high above the ground. The difficult part of this is maintaining your speed through the curve on the road and hitting the right spot of the hill; practice is needed here, so don't get annoyed if you miss it the first few times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.3) VEHICLE STATISTIC SUMMARY [C-SUM] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .--------------------. | LEGEND: | |--------------------| | TPS – Top Speed | | ACC – Acceleration | | MSS – Mass | | HND – Handling | | DUR – Durability | '--------------------' .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | VEHICLE | TPS | ACC | MSS | HND | DUR | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | DEFAULT VEHICLES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ambulance | 5/9 | 4/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 | 7/9 | | Armored Car | 3/9 | 2/9 | 4/9 | 3/9 | 9/9 | | Audi S4 Avant | 5/9 | 4/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 | 7/9 | | Audi TT | 6/9 | 7/9 | 4/9 | 8/9 | 4/9 | | 1959 Eldorado Seville | 5/9 | 4/9 | 7/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | | Cadillac Escalade | 3/9 | 4/9 | 7/9 | 5/9 | 7/9 | | Cement Truck | 0/9 | 0/9 | 9/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | | Chevrolet Corvette Z06 | 8/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 | 6/9 | 3/9 | | Chevrolet SSR | 6/9 | 5/9 | 7/9 | 5/9 | 5/9 | | Chrysler Crossfire | 6/9 | 7/9 | 3/9 | 7/9 | 5/9 | | Chrysler PT Turbo | 4/9 | 6/9 | 3/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | | Dodge Viper SRT-10 | 8/9 | 9/9 | 4/9 | 4/9 | 2/9 | | Fire Truck | 2/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | | FLE | 3/9 | 3/9 | 0/9 | 9/9 | 1/9 | | Ford 1967 2+2 Fastback | 7/9 | 8/9 | 5/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | | Freightliner Century Class S/T | 2/9 | 3/9 | 9/9 | 3/9 | 9/9 | | Garbage Truck | 1/9 | 1/9 | 9/9 | 1/9 | 9/9 | | Hummer H2 SUV | 3/9 | 2/9 | 7/9 | 5/9 | 8/9 | | Koenigsegg CC | 9/9 | 9/9 | 1/9 | 6/9 | 0/9 | | Limousine | 3/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | | Lotus Esprit V8 | 8/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 | 6/9 | 2/9 | | Mini Cooper S | 5/9 | 6/9 | 1/9 | 7/9 | 2/9 | | Opel Astra | 5/9 | 5/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | | Paris Bus | 2/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | | Paris Police | 5/9 | 5/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | | Paris Taxi | 4/9 | 5/9 | 2/9 | 6/9 | 5/9 | | Renault 1985 R5 | 4/9 | 5/9 | 0/9 | 7/9 | 2/9 | | Saab 9-3 Turbo | 6/9 | 5/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | 3/9 | | Volkswagen New Beetle RSI | 6/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | 8/9 | 3/9 | | Washington DC Bus | 2/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | 2/9 | 9/9 | | Washington DC Police | 5/9 | 6/9 | 5/9 | 5/9 | 6/9 | | Washington DC Taxi | 4/9 | 4/9 | 5/9 | 5/9 | 6/9 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | SECRET VEHICLES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ASP | 7/9 | 6/9 | 5/9 | 5/9 | 3/9 | | Serpent MK2 | 8/9 | 7/9 | 4/9 | 6/9 | 4/9 | '-------------------------------------------------------------------------' =============================================================================== 5) WORK UNDERCOVER WALKTHROUGH [W-WOR] =============================================================================== Work Undercover is the "main" mode in Midtown Madness 3. Once you start this mode you will be given a job; complete the races in that job, and you will proceed to the next job. From a Delivery Guy to a Special Agent in Paris or a Pizza Deliverer to a Private Eye in Washington DC, Work Undercover mode will have you driving like mad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1) PARIS [W-PAR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORY: Famous race car driver Dieter Kleinmann is going to visit Paris to receive his award for his Lifetime Achievements. Kleinmann isn't the only one travelling to Paris; three Scandinavians named Olle, Inga and Sven are planning to do something to Kleinmann's award - that isn't the only thing they will do. Your job while working undercover is to protect Dieter Kleinmann and his award from harm. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | DELIVERY GUY | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Delivery Guy (1/7) | | CAR: FLE | | RACES: Delivery by Dawn, Marauders, Sven's Parcel, The Kleinmann Issue (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Delivery by Dawn Time Limit: [none] Your job here is to race against Mathilda through your morning route, delivering parcels. There are 5 parcels to deliver; drive through a green circle to pick up a parcel and drive through another green circle to deliver it. The race is pretty straightforward; mostly straight roads that you should have no trouble driving through. Be the first to deliver all of your parcels to proceed to the next race. Race Two: Marauders Time Limit: [none] There are more parcels to deliver; but this time it's a little harder because there are 3 more deliverers racing against you (not including Mathilda) and there are 11 parcels to deliver. It's still a race though; deliver all of your parcels first before the others. Race Three: Sven's Parcel Time Limit: [none] Sven, a Scandinavian race fan, has forgotten a parcel he owns at the bus station. Your job is to drive through the green circle at the bus station to pick up his parcel, and deliver it to him at his hotel. Unfortunately, this parcel is very fragile; you have to preserve it so that it doesn't get broken amongst all the traffic. Even more unfortunate is that Mathilda is angry because she didn't get this job; so once you pick up the parcel, she will come raging at you driving a huge truck, trying to break that parcel. Try to avoid her at all costs, and you should be able to make it to the hotel where Sven is without much trouble. Outside of the hotel is a red rectangle; stop your car within the rectangle to deliver the parcel. Race Four: The Kleinmann Issue Time Limit: [none] Dieter Kleinmann is going to visit Paris – big news that's covered the headlines and news. Deliver all 20 newspapers containing information about his visit by driving through the green circles scattered throughout the city before Mathilda to win the race. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | TAXI DRIVER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Taxi Driver (2/7) | | CAR: Paris Taxi | | RACES: Taxi Turns, Night Driver, Meatballs, Down Under (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Taxi Turns Time Limit: [not fixed] This is your day shift; you have to pick up and drop off 5 passengers by stopping within the red rectangles before the time runs out. Time is added for each passenger you pick up/drop off, so you shouldn't really have a problem with the time. Race Two: Night Driver Time Limit: [none] Mathilda and a few of her friends have set up another race, but this time at night (remember to keep your headlights on!). Be the first to drive through all 10 checkpoints (in any order) to win the race. Race Three: Meatballs Time Limit: [not fixed] Two Scandinavian race fans named Olle and Inga have come to Paris to watch Dieter Kleinmann receive his reward. Your job is to pick them up, then drop them off at their hotel by stopping within the red rectangles. Time is added for each time you pick them up. Race Four: Down Under Time Limit: [not fixed] One of your biggest competitors in the taxi business has 5 customers waiting to be picked up and dropped off at their destinations. Get all 5 customers and drop them off, but watch out; Mathilda will be speeding towards you because she's working for the other business. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | CHAUFFEUR | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Chauffeur (3/7) | | CAR: Limousine | | RACES: In Hot Pursuit, Graduation Day, Kleinmann's Arrival, Driving Mrs. | | VeryWealthy (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: In Hot Pursuit Time Limit: 1:04 Remember Sven from earlier on? Well this time, he wants you to drop him off at the bus station. But apparently, Sven is a fugitive. The police are on the chase to get him, so your job is to get him to the bus station without any confrontations with the police (there are 4 of them). The police will push you around, delaying Sven's departure off the limo – so really you're racing against the police and the limited time. Race Two: Graduation Day Time Limit: [none] Two graduates have just hired a limo from us; they want to be dropped off at a restaurant. Mathilda's joining in this race too; she also has 2 graduates that want to be taken to the restaurant. Make sure you get your customers to the restaurant first! Race Three: Kleinmann's Arrival Time Limit: Pick up Dieter Kleinmann – 2:10 Drop him off – [not fixed] Dieter Kleinmann is finally in Paris! Drive all the way to the other side of Paris to pick him up at the bus station, then drive him to the Palais Royal before the time runs out - otherwise he will be very angry! Race Four: Driving Mrs. VeryWealthy Time Limit: [not fixed] Mrs VeryWealthy (nice name, huh?) has a few errands to do in Paris. Drive her to wherever she wants to go to before the time runs out; you'll soon see that she's very impatient and likes to tell you what to do – all the time. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | SECURITY GUARD | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Security Guard (4/7) | | CAR: Armoured Car | | RACES: Go for the Gold, Sven's Demise, Kleinmann's Award, | | Mrs. VeryWealthy's Jewels (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Go for the Gold Time Limit: [none] Your job here is to pick up all 13 of the sacks of money outside the banks of Paris and take them to the main vault for safekeeping. Mathilda's on the case too; race with her to get all of the sacks and drive to the main vault first. You can pick up the sacks in any order, but you MUST finish at the main vault. Race Two: Sven's Demise Time Limit: [not fixed] Sven the fugitive has been caught, and the police will deport him to Scandinavian authorities. Pick him up at the police station and drop him off at his next stop, but be careful because his friends Olle and Inga are after you. They will push your car around, so avoid them or you could run out of time! Race Three: Kleinmann's Award Time Limit: [none] Apparently, a delivery guy delivered a fake copy of Kleinmann's award to Sven (*cough*you*cough*), and we suspect that the Scandinavians are going to try to switch the real award with the fake one. Your objective is to take the real award to safety before the award ceremony. Beware of Olle and Inga. Race Four: Mrs. VeryWealthy's Jewels Time Limit: 4:10 Being rich, Mrs. VeryWealthy has ordered some jewellery from all around Paris and wants you to pick them up for her. Once you've done so, drive back to her. You can pick up the jewels in any order, but finish at her house before the time runs out. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | PARAMEDIC | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Paramedic (5/7) | | CAR: Ambulance | | RACES: Emergency Patrol, The Body Guard, Downtown Collapse, Saving Mrs. | | VeryWealthy (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Emergency Patrol Time Limit: [not fixed] There are 5 patients that are needed to be transported in your Ambulance, all around Paris. For each patient that you pick up, you have to take them back to the Paris hospital. Pick up and drop off all of the 5 patients to end your shift. Race Two: The Body Guard Time Limit: [not fixed] Olle and Inga have kidnapped Kleinmann, and left his bodyguard pleading for medical attention. You have to pick up the bodyguard at the scene of the kidnapping and drop him off at the hospital before time runs out. The scene of the kidnapping has a few police officers; don't worry, they won't chase you. Race Three: Downtown Collapse Time Limit: [not fixed] An ambulance has crashed just before the driver was going to pick up a patient. Drive over to the crash site where the patient is, and drive her back to the hospital so that the patient can rest. Time is very limited in this race, so act fast. Race Four: Saving Mrs. VeryWealthy Time Limit: 1:33 Mrs. VeryWealthy has just called the hospital; she's just broken a finger. Take her to the hospital before the time runs out, otherwise she will sue all of Paris (does she *really* have the power to do that?). .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | POLICE OFFICER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Police Officer (6/7) | | CAR: Paris Taxi | | RACES: French Street Blues, Inga's Escape, Roadblocks, xxx | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: French Street Blues Time Limit: [not fixed] Some bad guys have been contaminating the city with their filth! The locations of 5 arrested criminals will be sent to you over radio; drive to a criminal and transport them back to the police station. Drive to all 5 arrested criminals and bring them back to the police station to end your shift. Fail to do so within the time limit, and those guys will probably never change. Race Two: Inga's Escape Time Limit: 3:55 Remember Inga, one of the Scandinavians? Well, the police have spotted her on the run, and it's your job to make her stop. Head over to her location, where she will attempt to escape once you get near her. Above her black van is a small rectangle; this is her van's damage meter. Chase her around Paris and smash her car until it's a wreck before the time limit – she might have some information on Kleinmann's whereabouts. Race Three: Roadblocks Time Limit: [not fixed] The police are setting up Roadblocks all over Paris to stop the kidnappers from leaving. They need reinforcements, so you have to transport the police inside your car to the roadblocks. Transport the police to all 15 roadblocks within the time limit – even though it's *very* limited. Race Four: The Guys from Lyon Time Limit: [none] Some guys from Lyon say that they're better drivers than you, but you disagree. A race has been set up from one side of Paris to another; drive through all 23 of the checkpoints before the others to show them how REAL driving is done! .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | SPECIAL AGENT | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Special Agent (7/7) | | CAR: Audi TT | | RACES: Scandinavian Shadow, The Traitors, Desperate Hours (3) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Scandinavian Shadow Time Limit: [none] Using his cellphone, we've tracked Olle's location. As a special agent, your job is to follow him around Paris because he might show his hideout, where Dieter Kleinmann might be. Don't go too close to Olle or he will see you; but don't lose sight of him either. Race Two: The Traitors Time Limit: [not fixed] Okay, I didn't really get the idea of this race, so I'll just quote it from the game itself: "Searching the hideout that Olle led us to didn't reveal Kleinmann's whereabouts, but we've made a deal with the grunts. They will testify against Olle, Inga and Sven if given immunity. Pick them up." Race Three: Desperate Hours Time Limit: 2:30 Sven and Inga have been dealt with for the kidnapping, but Olle is still on the run with Dieter Kleinmann in the trunk of his van. Before the time runs out, smash his car into oblivion to save Kleinmann and put Olle behind bars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.2) WASHINGTON DC [W-WAS] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | PIZZA DELIVERER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Pizza Deliverer (1/7) | | CAR: Cadillac 1959 Eldorado Seville | | RACES: Standard Delivery, Angie's Mess, Sleazy Cheese, The Annual Pizza | | Race (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Standard Delivery Time Limit: [none] Some customers around DC have ordered a batch of pizzas waiting to be delivered. Just deliver all of the 14 pizzas before Angelina (you can do so in any order you like), or your pizza career will be doomed. Race Two: Angie's Mess Time Limit: 3:00 Starting from the western side of DC and finishing on the other side - a delivery that you will have to make with caution. Angelina has just messed up a pizza to the delivery Tortellini brothers, so it's your job to finish the delivery. The pizza is fragile, so try not to hit anything or it'll get smashed. To add more of a challenge, Angelina is raged that she messed up the delivery and wants you to mess it up too; keep the pizza safely without hitting anything and deliver it to the Tortellini brothers while avoiding Angelina! Race Three: Sleazy Cheese Time Limit: 1:45 A Very Important Customer has ordered a specially made pizza; drive the pizza to the customer before the time runs out. The customer is near Dupont Circle - try not to get lost there or you could lose a whole heap of needed time (as with happened to me when I first did this race >_>). Race Four: The Annual Pizza Race Time Limit: [none] The Annual Pizza Race is back for this year, and you're competing in it to represent your firm. Race around Washington DC while driving through the green circles to deliver your pizzas before your opponents (you can deliver the pizzas in any order). Beat the other drivers by being the first one to deliver your final pizza to the Mr. President! .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | RENTAL CAR DRIVER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Rental Car Driver (2/7) | | CARS: Opel Astra, Chevrolet SSR, Chrysler Crossfire, Chrysler PT Turbo | | RACES: Rental Routers, Mr. Pickie's Car, The Weekend Car, Rental Racers | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Rental Routers Time Limit: [none] Your company's got some rental cars that need to be circulated around the city - and of course, Angelina has become employed in this job too. Race with her around Washington DC and stop in the red rectangles to switch your current car with a different one; first you start the race with an Opel Astra, then stopping in the first red rectangle will give you a Chrysler PT Turbo. When you stop in the second red rectangle, you will be given a Renault 1985 R5. Finish the race with the Renault by driving through the green circle near Washington Circle, and get that big bonus that Angelina really wanted. Race Two: Mr. Pickie's Car Time Limit: [not fixed] Mr. Pickie, the screenwriter for the movie "The Quick and the Slippery", has crashed one of your rental cars. Drive him to the crash site with your new rental car, and switch cars; you drive the crashed car and Mr. Pickie will drive the new car. Once you've switched cars, drive back to the rental car shop (supposedly to get the crashed car fixed). Race Three: The Weekend Car Time Limit: [none] Michael Tortellini and his colleague have hired a car from your rental car shop to take over the weekend. Take Michael's rented car to him near Dupont Circle before Angelina; just another standard race. Make sure to cut through the grass at Dupont Circle to save a few seconds. Race Four: Rental Racers Time Limit: [none] A bunch of rental cars need to be delivered; race with the other drivers that work with you to your destination in Georgetown. You can use the suggested route in this race, or you can take this alternate route that is probably the best out of any others (at least, the best route I could think of >_>): From your starting position, drive north to Massachusetts Avenue. Keep on driving west until you meet up with 14th street, where you should turn north. Keep on driving west to the green circle from there. See the game's manual on page 25 for a map of Washington DC. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | LIMOUSINE DRIVER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Limousine Driver (3/7) | | CAR: Limousine | | RACES: The Older Brother, The Bestman, The Younger Brother, | | Pickie and Fluffy (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: The Older Brother Time Limit: [not fixed] Michael Tortellini wants a ride to the train station, but first wants you to pick up a friend just north-east of Dupont Circle. Starting from Georgetown, drive north to Massachusetts Avenue (which connects to Dupont Circle) and pick up Tortellini's friend by stopping within the red rectangle. Once his friend is in the limo, race over to Union Station. If you were still looking at the time, you should have noticed that you have just over 2 minutes. After a few seconds of driving, Michael Tortellini will suddenly exclaim that he stuffed up; the train will leave in under a minute, which is then your time limit! Drive like hell to Union Station before the train leaves or you'll get fired. Race Two: The Bestman Time Limit: [none] A happy couple are about to get married, and they're being taken to their wedding in a limo driven by Angelina. The Bestman, who has the ring, is already late for the wedding; drive him to the church before Angelina or else the wedding is off. Race Three: The Younger Brother Time Limit: [none] For some mysterious reason, Stefano Tortellini wants you to follow his older brother around Washington DC, Michael Tortellini. Do so, but don't get too close to him or he'll see you and blow your cover - and don't lose sight of him either. Michael will drive around Georgetown, Washington Circle, and will stop near Dupont Circle where this race should also finish. Race Four: Pickie and Fluffy Time Limit: [not fixed] Mr. Pickie and his evil poodle Fluffy are going to attend 4 dog shows today. Drive them to each dog show by stopping in the red rectangles within the time limit, or else Fluffy will have a go at your throat. Once you're done driving them to the dog shows, head over back to Mr. Pickie's house at good old Georgetown. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | CAR SALESMAN | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Car Salesman (4/7) | | CARS: Hummer H2 SUV, Dodge Viper SRT-10, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, | | Cadillac 1959 Eldorado Seville | | RACES: Sell That Car!, Michael's Scouting, Diva Manners, Mr. Pickie's Trade | | (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Sell That Car! Time Limit: [none] A bunch of vehicles need to be sold today, and you've been chosen to be the one to sell them. Take three customers for a spin around the block (which is DEFINITELY not a block!) and back to the car shop before Angelina, then your quota shall be filled. Doesn't Angelina know when to stop? Race Two: Michael's Scouting Time Limit: [none] Michael Tortellini is searching for a hot sports car that is going to be used in his movie, so you're going to do so. Using the super-speedy Dodge Viper SRT- 10, you'll have to follow Michael's every whim in order to make this sale happen. He'll ask you to drive really fast, crash into stuff (not a problem, but watch your damage meter!), find a few ramps to take off from the ground, and to grab a pizza. The final thing he'll ask you to do is to race with Angelina back to the car shop - Angelina's driving the same car as you, so she'll be going at a very high speed. Once you've got you're car up to speed, it shouldn't be much of a problem to win. Race Three: Diva Manners Time Limit: [none] One of the hottest movie stars in "The Quick and the Slippery" is looking for a sports car, just like Michael Tortellini. First he'll tell you to drive really fast, and that it won't matter if you do so because he's a movie star and that the cops won't chase you. He's wrong. After a short while, a few cops will appear out of nowhere on your mini-map. If you drive away from them, then more cops will appear. Once one of the cops touches your car, you lose - so avoid them at all costs! Race Four: Mr. Pickie's Trade Time Limit: 1:55 Mr. Pickie wants to trade in his old car to buy a new one. Take it for a test drive, but don't crash into anything! Mr. Pickie's car is unbelievably fragile, and a simple act of smashing into a pole going at around 20 km/h will give you 2 damage points. Also, watch out for the time limit. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | STUNT CAR DRIVER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Stunt Car Driver (5/7) | | CAR: Ford 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback | | RACES: The Quick, The Slippery, The Chase, Production Cuts (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: The Quick Time Limit: [none] Finally, this is the job where you get parts in the movie "The Quick and the Slippery"! Anyway, the director's (at least I think it's the director) set up a mean stunt course, where you get to jump off ramps and smash your car and the like. You start this race on the U.S. Capitol Building; drive forward to build up speed, then hit the "stunt" checkpoint and the wooden ramp to launch yourself onto the building on the other side of the road. From there, just keep on following the stunt checkpoints. After you've driven through the last checkpoint, Angelina will appear out of nowhere. Race with her through 8 more checkpoints to finish the scene, then listen to what Angelina says to the director with some... carefully chosen words. Race Two: The Slippery Time Limit: [none] There's a scene in the movie where the heroes are being chased by the cops. The director doesn't know whom to use as the stunt driver for this scene, so you're going to prove to him that you're the one to be chosen by racing with Angelina through all 22 checkpoints. Try to stay away from the police as much as possible, as they can slow you down. Be the first to drive through all 22 checkpoints to get the director's approval! And, like last time, listen to what Angelina says to the director. Race Three: The Chase Time Limit: [not fixed] Because Angelina's driving a getaway car, you're going to have to persuade her to stop by chasing her through good old Georgetown, and smashing her car until it's a wreck. A good way to make her stop is to get in front of her car, then pushing her backwards to damage her car. Try to damage her car as quickly as possible, because even though the clock counts upwards, there *is* a time limit that is somewhere around 2 minutes (as I said above). And for the third time, listen to Angelina! Race Four: Production Cuts Time Limit: [none] For some reason, the director needs to fire a bunch of the crew, but he doesn't know exactly who to fire. Race with other drivers and be the first to drive through all of the 25 checkpoints, and you'll be guaranteed that you won't get fired. Random tip: when using this car, remember not to turn too sharply or there's a good chance that your car will roll over. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | POLICE OFFICER | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Police Officer (6/7) | | CAR: Washington Police | | RACES: The Bad Guys, Stefano's Madness, Prank Calls, Brat Pack (4) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: The Bad Guys Time Limit: [not fixed] Four criminals have been arrested for a crime (one for hacking, one for photographing classified blueprints, one for setting up a scam and one for being a "mad scientist") and your job is to pick them up and drive each of them back to the Police Station. Each criminal is farther away from the Police Station than the last, which means the fourth criminal is the farthest - in fact, just east of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway. You're going to have to drive faster and faster until you've finished your duty for the day. Race Two: Stefano's Madness Time Limit: 3:45 When you first start this race, Stefano Tortellini and his brother will remain stationary on the mini-map, just north of Constitution Avenue. Once you get near them they will start moving, and Stefano will go raging mad after his brother, chasing him all over the place. Damage Stefano's limousine before the time runs out - or before his brother Michael gets hurt. Just another show of brotherly love. Race Three: Prank Calls Time Limit: [not fixed] Michael Tortellini has reported to the police that he's recently been receiving some prank calls, and he's getting annoyed! The police back at the station will try to trace the call, so you're job is to follow the last said location of the source. Drive through the green circles to proceed to the next location. At first the signal will be weak so the green circles will be close to you, but they will get further and further away. After the third green circle, you'll find that the prank caller is none other than Michael's brother... Stefano. Race Three: Brat Pack Time Limit: 2:00 Four movie stars from The Quick and the Slippery have stolen a car each from the movie, and are taking them for a little joyride around the city. As a police officer, your job is to arrest these movie stars so that they can be taken to jail. To arrest a movie star, hit their car. Work fast though; the time isn't waiting. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | PRIVATE EYE | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | JOB: Private Eye (7/7) | | CAR: Dodge Viper SRT-10 | | RACES: Photo Opportunity, Uniting the Two, The Hot Shot Getaway (3) | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Race One: Photo Opportunity Time Limit: 0:50 It seems that Michael Tortellini is dealing with the Hot Shot Producer; but you're not sure. Head over to Dupont Circle where they're both meeting, so you can get some evidence that both of them _are_ having some kind of deal. Keep your eye on the time; it's VERY limited! I suggest driving onto Massachusetts Avenue as quickly as you can from the beginning of the race, then making your way towards Dupont Circle. Race Two: Uniting the Two Time Limit: 1:10 From the last race, you've found out that both Michael and Stefano Tortellini are dealing with the Hot Shot Producer! Your job here is to work undercover as the Hot Shot Producer's driver; pick him up (the Hot Shot Producer) just a little to the west of Chinatown. Time is also very limited in this race too - only 1 minute and 10 seconds! Race Three: The Hot Shot Getaway Time Limit: 4:00 The Hot Shot Producer has been exposed, and he's trying to get away with the film! Smash his car until it's a wreck so that the film can be kept. This race is harder that past versions, mainly because you're dealing with speeds of over 200 km/h, and that your car is more vulnerable to damage.
