Undocumented Cheat and Cheat Side Effect#

Entering EKIRHS as player name in the Season mode will unlock all base tracks and all cars other than Vapor and Radia, which is largely the same as PREALL. If EKIRHS is entered after PREALL however, it will also neutralize PREALL's (also largely undocumented) side effects:

  • If you start a new Season on Rookie or Veteran difficulty, the game will softlock by attempting to load an invalid track. This occurs because the game sets the season to be the 13th race of the season; Rookie only has 6 races and Veteran only has 9 races.
  • If you start a new Season on Pro difficulty, the game will force you to play a Suicide (three-on-one head-on) race at County Air, with cars (both player and opponent) forced to Apex, the first car available. If you do beat this race, you will end with 1300 championship points, and Vapor and Radia will be unlocked.

In effect, EKIRHS is essentially PREALL without the aforementioned side effects.

Oddities#

Loading the secret tracks Little Woods and/or Hillside will result in the loading screen being the track map of the opposite track. According to the developers, the mistake was only discovered after the disc had started manufacturing.
