MX 2002 is a motocross game featuring Ricky Carmichael, where two main modes of play are available. One mode is a racing experience, with options for practice, single races, and seasons, with progressing success unlocking more tracks and bikes. The other mode is a stunt-based practice/competition mode where riders try to complete as many crazy tricks in an arena as possible within a set time limit.
The game features a unique mechanic: the bike's clutch, which can be controlled even when using automatic gears. Mastering this skill is essential for maintaining top speed while landing jumps or navigating challenging terrain. To execute these jumps successfully, the "Prime Jump" button must be held before entering the air.

Using the Clutch
Using the clutch at the right time will shed valuable seconds off the clock—it could mean the difference between 1st place and 2nd place! It also will help you earn the hole shot award!
At the Start
Hold down the L1 button to keep the clutch open before the countdown. At the same time, rev up your engine. When the countdown reaches “1,” release the clutch to shoot out of the gate—and grab the Hole Shot!
Mid-Race
If you find yourself losing too much speed during a race, try pressing the clutch L1 for a little more acceleration. Don't hold the clutch too long or you will lose speed.
Preload
When approaching a jump, press and hold L2 or R2, and watch your preload meter. The higher the meter is when you take off, the higher and longer you will jump.
Mid-Air
After releasing the suspension at the top of the jump, press and hold the L1 button again. This will keep the clutch in the open position. Keep the engine revving (hold the X button) and release the clutch when you land. If performed correctly, you will resume at the same speed you had before the jump!
Steering
You will find the left analog stick provides more precise control than the directional buttons, especially when adjusting your altitude in mid-air.

Press START at any time to pause the game. You can change the sound and graphic settings while the game is paused.

Tips & Maps
Saving
From the Career Options Menu, select SAVE. Choose a Memory Card to save onto, then press UP/DOWN to save over an existing career. Highlight EMPTY to create a new save game file. Press the ✔button when done.
Loading
From the Main Menu, select LOAD CAREER, then choose a career to load from a Memory Card. Press the ✔button to confirm and advance to the Career Menu.
Low Jump
When jumping, it's best to land on a downhill slope. If you find yourself consistently overshooting a particular landing, try tapping L2+ R2 just as you take off, and you will come down more quickly. The pre-load meter will dim when you do this correctly.
Controls
If you use the right analog stick to accelerate and brake, try selecting "Easy Stunts" in the Control Options screen. You won't have to hold L2 or R2 to do stunts anymore!
Shifting Your Weight
While riding, you can lean forward and backward with the left analog stick. Try leaning back a little for better traction in whoops and up steep hills, but be careful not to flip over backwards! You can also do wheelies and stoppies if your balance is good enough. They're worth extra points in Freestyle competitions.
Clutch
Your clutch indicator flickers when the clutch L1 is fully engaged. This means you are at maximum RPM, and holding it longer will only slow you down.
