  6. Move while airborne

    Activate the Resurrect in Place and Levitation Cheats and select the Rocket Car. (you must place 1st in a circuit first to get it)

    Then press the Abort button repeatedly to levitate. When you press the gas, you will MOVE forward in the air. This cannot be done with any other car besides the rocket, and this makes getting keys and cans MUCH easier.

  8. Fly out of the game in Stunt mode

    It's actually possible to fly out of the gaming environment in the Stunt course. You need the invincibility cheat for this to work. Go towards the HUGE green half pipe, and go around it to the right, and then make a left so you are travelling behind the huge half pipe, and keep going straight. You will pass a large blue ramp, and then there will be a red ramp to the left. You need to run into that at full speed, and hopefully, you will fly into the air, over the wall!

  9. Tag! You're it!

    In order to play tag, you must enter Practice mode with a friend. At the beginning, while the CPU is counting down, repeatedly hit the C-Up button. After the countdown, one of the players will have the word "It!" displayed on their screen. That person is now "it" and will have to try to tag the other players. Also, the timer starts counting down from 299 instead of 999.

  11. European Cheats

    The PAL version of Rush 2 was tweaked before release, changing the pause screen, fixing the glitched can in Hawaii and also changing most of the cheats. Most of these cheats were found in Prima's strategy guide for the game and only work in the European release of the game. You still access the cheats list the same way as the American release by holding the L, R, Z and all 4 C buttons in the Setup menu.
