ORIGINAL MODE TIPS

Many fares will be going in the opposite direction that your car is when you pick them up. So, you need to perfect the technique of spinning around into a Crazy Dash.

The arrow is evil, do not pay attention to it. Play a couple ten-minute games to learn the layout of the city so the arrow will not throw you off. In comparison to the Arcade City (where the arrow was actually helpful) it can hurt you here. Since the city is so spread out with so many various streets, the arrow will still point to your destination, but there are usually buildings blocking the way. If you learn the basic layout of the city, you won't have to really worry about that.

There are canals of water here, and while it may be tempting to just drive through the water instead of taking the drawbridge and you can. It's good to use when you are going to the used car dealership from the other side.

Speaking of the drawbridge, cross it at high speed, and do a Crazy Dash in mid-air to avoid slamming into the buildings on the other side.

Or if you are going to either of the locations on the other side of the buildings from the drawbridge, Limit Cut on the way up and you can fly across the buildings to your target.

There are a couple drop-offs that are similar to the park in the Arcade City where you have a small round target to hit. Be sure to perfect the Crazy Drift Stop for these, because one of them will toss you into the water if you miss.

When you get to the downtown area, cut the corners short. The area is rather small, but there are a lot of turns, and many of the drop-offs are on corners.

The used car dealership has some fares waiting behind the cars. These are more trouble than they are worth, do not bother with them.

There is a major shortcut to the train station where you can fly over a hill and land right in the station. But if you do not do a Crazy Stop the instant you hit the ground, you will fly over the brick wall and need to turn around, hurting your time.
