| | You are here: Home : PC : Wild Ride | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hints And Tips | Updated 02 Jul | First of all, there is a fairly accurate list of moves which the various surfers can do, and the special powers. It's from memory, but should be pretty well entirely correct.
Tricks and what they do:
Up and the trick button:
// ollie for alana - jump over stuff (really hard to do) or land on the top of the wave to do a floater for extra points
// headstand for bucky - slowly repair damage to board (in contest mode only)
// hang ten for lee - gravity has only half the normal effect during his air
// arch for sandy - can go though the break
// kickflip for todd - jump over stuff (really hard to do) or land on the top of the wave to do a floater for extra points
// luge for vic - can go through the break
Down and the trick button:
// duck for alana - slowly repair damage to board (in contest mode only)
// scorpion for bucky - summons the UFO (semjase) if held!!! - there is more chance of this working if you are in the air.
// quasimodo for lee - slowly repair damage to board (in contest mode only)
// split headstand for sandy - slowly repairs damage to board (in contest mode only)
// noseride for todd - slowly repairs damage to board (in contest mode only)
// duck for vic - slowly repairs damage to board (in contest mode only)
Right or left and the trick button:
// 360 slide for alana
// 360 slide for bucky
// walkaround from for lee
// kick for sandy
// powerslide for todd - if held, this will slow you down, but you can slide around obstacles.
// 360 slide for vic
How to get more points:
- All trick-button tricks give you a bunch of points depending on how long you hold them.
- Do airs
- Do spins in the air - the more spins you do, the more points it's worth. And using the trick button does NOT help this value at all as it is scored separately. To really spin, haul ass accross the wave, and just before you launch, hold down the turning button and a direction. Work on timing out the landings. You should be able to do at least a 900 with every surfer in this manner. Do lots of these in a row for quick points. - Go though the tube, and do tricks while you are in it - Go under the pier and the oil rig
- Don't hit the dolphin! (this costs you a lot of points and hurts your board) - Try to stay on your board (wiping out costs you points and hurts your board) - Hit the UFO - this gives you a lot of points(7500), but causes everyone but bucky (who doesn't get near as many points - 1000, or 2000 if he is doing the scorpion at the time) to wipe out.
How to get crazy amounts of points:
- Air over the pier at the end of your run (hard) - 10000 points - Air over the break (hard) - 10000 points
- Air over the oil rig (bloody impossible!) - 20000 points - If you time it right, you can air over just the corner of any of these and get the full amount of points! This is the only way to clear the oil rig that I know of.
Other notes:
- When the UFO is over top of you, all scores are doubled! - If you do a trick in the air, it's score value is doubled! - Bucky can 'bounce' off of the UFO without wiping out. This is one of the only ways to do a ridiculous insane! (2 900s)
- In contest mode, wiping out damages your board. Especially bouncing all the way across the oil rig.
- Each character plays different. They all have different speed, acceleration, and steering capabilities, which become impaired as the board condition worsens.
- Save your game after every run, you never know when you'll have a crappy run.
- Watch the timer! Important stuff like the pier, oilrig and breaks happen at the same time, every time. Use this knowledge to your advantage.
Surfer Stats:
turnability - the speed at which the surfer can turn
acceleration - the rate at which the surfer can pick up speed top speed - the surfers top speed
traction - the amount of sideways slide the surfer experiences during sharp turns in inversely related to this attribute, and this also has a small amount to do with their ability to land a big air
Please note that sometimes a high value in a stat can work against you, so the following chart may be a little misleading. Although it may seem that the points are distributed unfairly in the below chart, all of the surfers behave uniquely in certain situations. The highest scores are not always achieved with Bucky or Lee, I've seen all of the surfers decimate the 30000 point mark on one run at one time or another. And without cheating, either.
