Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge (Game Boy Advance)/Unused Text

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge (Game Boy Advance).

This game is all of the way drowning in unused text.

Drome Racers Leftovers

Drome Racers was an extremely similar game developed by Mobius Entertainment, now known as Rockstar Leeds. Evidently, Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge was heavily based on Mobius's engine, and even includes mass amounts of text from the earlier game.

You may need to ease off the accelerator or use the brake to get around some of the tighter bends.
Save your nitros for straights. If you use them on tight bends you'll probably hit the track barriers.
If you use manual clutch in drag races, you'll get an extra gear and can go faster than using an auto clutch.
When you win upgrade points, don't just focus on one of your team's cars to upgrade. Press B to switch between the cars in your garage.
If you get a great lap time in multiplayer, you can save over your friends' best lap times!
Rev your dragster on the start line trying to keep it in the yellow zone of the rev counter before changing into 1st gear. 
Pressing the accelerator button at a certain point during the race start countdown will give you a turbo start!
The other cars will go for the powerups too. Try to get there before them.
To unlock team Nitro, complete a full championship.
To unlock team E.X.O. Force, complete a full championship using team Nitro.
When upgrading cars, remember that handling and grip are as important as speed and acceleration.
Hints
The Pro Racer Cup is now available!
Well done! Now try to win the Ultimate Racer Cup!
Great racing champ! You've now unlocked the Dromulus Cup - good luck!

Unused Text

Not content to be outdone, there's also an outrageous amount of unused text in Hot Wheels which doesn't come directly from Drome Racers.

Offset Text
Some copyright info for Logik State, who aren't otherwise credited in the game. LS_Play is likely part of their sound driver, presumably licensed and used in this game. The same string also appears in Garfield and His Nine Lives.
