SAVING AND LOADING
Saving and Loading requires you to have a Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card inserted into Nintendo GameCube™ Memory Card Slot A. Never insert or remove a Memory Card when loading or saving files.
The Autosave feature automatically saves your progress through the game, and any settings changes you make. Autosave overwrites information without confirmation. When this icon flashes, do not touch the Memory Card or POWER Button.
You can turn Autosave off in the Gameplay section of the Options menu. You can also manually save your game at any point by selecting SAVE in the Career Main menu.

CAREER MODE
In an all-out war for the city, you and your crew must risk everything to take over rival neighborhoods one block at a time. As the police turn up the heat, the battle ultimately shifts to the Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve.
CAR CLASSES
Muscle. Exotic. Tuner. Which class will you represent? Each has strengths and weaknesses. For example, Tuners dominate in the turns, Muscles are acceleration beasts, and Exotics put your speedometer to the test.
Choose a class then decide between an Automatic or Manual transmission to begin your quest for urban domination.
YOUR CREW
Fortunately, you don't have to do all the work on your own. You've got a crew to back you up. In most events, you can take wingmen with you and use them to help you win races.
RECRUITING CREW MEMBERS
After you defeat a rival crew boss or on certain other occasions, rival crews may offer to join your crew. Select MY CREW in the Safe House to review all your crew management options.
Here you are able to read bios for each crew member and see what kind of skills and bonuses they would add to your crew if you hire them.
ROLES
The three types of wingmen-Blockers, Drafters, and Scouts each have unique roles to help you win races.
•
Blockers get in the way of other drivers to slow them down and throw them off their lines.
•
Drafters give you a second of speed boost for every second you stay behind them.
•
Scouts show you alternate paths around and through the race course.
SKILLS
Your crew members may also have certain skills to help you out along the way.
•
Fixers prevent your heat level from increasing and give you a little extra cash when you win races.
•
Mechanics provide discounts on performance parts and give you a nitrous or Speedbreaker boost in races.
•
Fabricators allow you to unlock certain Autosculpt™ parts in the Customization menu and let you buy certain visual parts at a discount.
SAFE HOUSE MENU
World Map
Use the map to enter races and review how much territory you own. Each territory is owned by a rival crew, and has a target number of races you need to win before you unlock events against the crew boss. You need to beat the boss to take control of the territory.
Free Roam
Cruise around the city, enter races, outrun the cops, or accept a rival crew challenge in an open-world race.
Customization
Cash in your winnings to upgrade your cars with standard parts or use your imagination to create the car of your dreams with Autosculpt. Once you've picked out your parts, select SHOPPING CART to purchase and install them on your vehicle.
Car Select
Choose any car you own for your next race. You can also sell your cars for cash here.
Crew
Hire and fire crew members, watch their bio videos, and view or customize
