The default controller configuration is shown here. All references to button selection in this manual will refer to the default controller configuration.
You can change the controller configuration in the Options screen accessed from the Main Menu screen.
Main Menu
One Player
Choosing One Player allows you to choose between one-player Arcade Mode, Quest Mode or Survival Mode.
Quest Mode
Quest mode consists of a series of eight levels for each character. To win each level, you must complete the mission objectives and destroy all enemy vehicles.
Enemy vehicles are automatically chosen and the number of enemy vehicles as well as each enemy's skill increases with each level successfully passed.
You must fulfill both primary and secondary objectives before destroying all enemies. You can review your objectives at any time during gameplay by pressing the Start button to pause the game, and selecting Objectives.
Successfully completing all objectives will lead to "unlocking" additional characters/vehicles! If you fail to fulfill any of the mission objectives in Quest Mode, you can replay that level and try again.
Your primary objective usually requires you to find and collect some items (e.g. a few briefcases or gas cans). Occasionally, you will be required to deliver these items to a specific location.
Collected items get stored in one of your weapon slots. If your mission objective requires that you deliver an item somewhere on the map, drive to that location, select the item to deliver by using the Toggle Weapon buttons and then eject it by pressing the Fire Selected Weapon button. You can only unload your collected items at the required locations.

Arcade Mode
In Arcade mode, you must select an arena, a vehicle and opponents. You may select up to 12 enemy vehicles per arena. Use the Directional Buttons to select the opposing vehicles and the number of times each can regenerate.
Survival Mode
In Survival mode, you must select an arena, a vehicle and opponents. The object is to see how many enemies you can destroy before you are eliminated.
You will face unlimited waves of enemies with a maximum of four enemies facing you at any given time. The number of cars you destroy will be displayed as icons on the bottom right of the screen. You will also get a repair wrench power-up each time you total an enemy car.
Two Player
Choosing Two Player allows you to choose between two-player Versus, Cooperative or Quest Mode.
Versus Mode
In the two-player Versus mode, you can battle it out with another opponent. There are no enemy vehicles in Versus mode. The match ends when one player successfully destroys the other. You can then choose replay to begin another battle.
Cooperative
The two-player cooperative mode allows two players to team up against a group of enemies. The enemy vehicles engage both players.
The game ends when either of the players dies or after you destroy all of the enemies, so be sure to help your buddy!
Quest Mode
The Two Player Quest Mode allows two people to participate in a character's Quest. Player 1 assumes the role of the primary character, while Player 2 assumes the role of a buddy from the same team.
Both players must remain alive in order to complete the Quest. All other aspects are identical to One Player Quest.
Options Screen
Game Status
Shows the status of all unlocked/available characters for players 1 and 2. To read the full character bios, select a character and press [button icon].
Memory Card
Allows the player to load, save and delete games. Any vehicle upgrades acquired during gameplay are saved when a game is saved.
NOTE: MEMORY CARD SLOT 1 saves only Player 1's game data and MEMORY CARD SLOT 2 saves only Player 2's game data. This allows players to use their customized vehicles in two player modes regardless of whether or not their vehicles are on the same memory card.
Difficulty
This section allows players to adjust difficulty and weapons damage. First select the player(s) difficulty you want to adjust, then select difficulty levels (87 easy, 89 med, 92 hard).
Here you can also adjust weapon damage settings for each player, which will affect the amount of damage objects and vehicles can sustain before being destroyed. A low damage setting will typically result in lengthy battles, and vice versa.
Select the player(s) you want to adjust damage for and then select a weapons damage setting (1 bullet - low damage, 2 bullets - medium damage, 3 bullets - high damage.)
Each player is able to set his difficulty and damage settings separately, thus allowing them to set a handicap for any given player. In Two-Player Cooperative Mode, the enemies use the same difficulty and damage settings as Player 1.
Controllers
Allows the player to configure the controllers. First, select the player's controller to adjust and then use the Directional Buttons to adjust the settings.
Analog Stick Calibration
•
Analog Mode switch must be set to Analog for the analog sticks to appear on the screen.
•

Items & Weapons
Hoverpods
Hoverpods enable each vehicle to hover a few feet off of the ground, allowing travel over virtually any terrain and much farther jumps. Be careful, as they cause a loss in traction and can make the vehicle slide.
Hydrofloaters
Hydrofloaters transform the player's vehicle into a sea-faring vessel for water travel, changing front tires into flotation devices and rear ones into propellers. They automatically revert to standard tires when the player drives back onto land.
Skis N' Treads
These provide a tremendous advantage on snow levels by helping maintain traction on slippery surfaces. Using Skis N' Treads turns each vehicle's front wheels into skis and rear wheels into oversized, treaded tires.
MOSQUITO MACHINE GUN
The Mosquito is popular with Coyotes, Vigilantes, and Drifters for its cheap price and unlimited ammo. It is standard equipment on all cars.

Enemies & Characters
VIGILANTES: Convoy
Convoy, the newly married vigilante trucker, and his wife, Houston, were on the road when they spotted three unusual vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Before Convoy could react, the vehicles opened fire...
HOUSTON
After freeing herself of OMAR's mind-control device, Houston slowly recovered. She married ex-Vigilante Convoy. However, her dark past continued to haunt her - she still suffers from amnesia and nightmares. She knew OMAR would be back.
JOHN TORQUE
Horrified when he found his friends Convoy and Houston missing, J.T. unearthed a couple of old Mosquitoes from Convoy's backyard and set out on a search for his friends...
SHEILA
Convoy's niece put her academic studies on hold when she received an alarming call from John Torque. Apparently, the Coyotes had resurfaced, led by a mysterious new leader, and both her uncle and Houston were missing!
ALL-STAR TRIO
Tomey, Romey and Leilah began touring at the age of 14 and their incredible stunt shows soon captivated audiences nationwide. In 1977, they set out for the Southwest in search of their missing sister.
COYOTES: LORD CLYDE
2017: Ex-Vigilante Slick Clyde turned OMAR leader. In his most desperate move yet, he acquired a time-travel device to send himself back to the days when OMAR still had a chance of putting America out of business-the '70s.
OBAKE
Lord Clyde's favorite pupil, Obake, was adopted by OMAR as a small child and trained as a special operative for the company. She was requested to accompany Clyde on his latest mission to the past.
DALLAS 13
2017: Dallas 13 was the latest and most advanced 'biobot' in OMAR'S long line of cybernetic henchmen. Dallas was created specifically for Lord Clyde's Mission: Second Offense.
NINA LOCO
A master smuggler and dealmaker, Nina managed to stockpile most of the classified weaponry that was originally stolen from the military by the Coyotes. Wanted by the FBI and Mexican mob, she gladly signed up with Clyde.
MOLO
Disillusioned after the Coyotes' defeat, Molo began burglarizing gas stations and trailer parks. He was eventually caught and sent to "Juvie" hall. He rejoined the Coyotes after Clyde busted him out during a prison transport.
PADRE DESTINO
This traveling preacher was busy spreading the word, however, not by singing gospel. Instead, he was promoting the idea of an impending Armageddon. To this effect, he liked to follow each of his sermons with a good dose of destruction...
AGENT R. CHASE
2017: Agent Chase-one of the CIA's best detectives-had been following OMAR and its enigmatic leader, Lord Clyde, for years. Following the discovery of Clyde's time warp, Agent Chase volunteered to travel to the '70s, to apprehend Clyde and bring him back.
ASTRONAUT BOB O.
No one ever heard the astronaut speak, or saw his face, which was always hidden behind a helmet. He was simply known as Bob O. When new auto skirmishes began in the fall of 1977, Bob's rover was often reported seen amidst the action.
GARBAGE MAN
He was first spotted in 1976 near Nevada, rummaging through a landfill. He's been seen as far as Florida and Oregon but didn't appear to be associated with any trash company. No one knew what he did with the stolen refuse...
