================================== CHAPTER 4 ================================
######################################################
EVENT: Sally's Wheel Well Sprint [WT21]
TYPE: Race (1 lap)
LOCATION: Cozy Cone Motel; or,
Entrance to Tailfin Pass
REQ: Finish Sun Valley International Speedway
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 events for winning
UNLOCKS: Tailfin Pass
Tailfin Pass Circuit
Monster Truck Mayhem
Delinquent Road Hazards
######################################################
You'll get to explore (at high speed) Tailfin Pass in this race up the
mountain. There are only a couple of shortcuts, and they're not worth the
bother (they'll probably slow you down more than help). Your only opponent is
Sally, so you have to finish first to unlock Tailfin Pass and three new
events. When you finish, you'll be in front of the Wheel Well, so trundle
back into the motel to pick up a postcard, then jump straight into Tailfin
Pass Circuit at the event marker out front.
######################################################
EVENT: Doc's Check-Up [WT22]
TYPE: Race (3 laps)
LOCATION: Doc's Service Station
REQ: Finish Sun Valley International Speedway
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 trophies for 2nd place
2 trophies for 3rd place
UNLOCKS: Nothing
######################################################
A standard race against Doc and some of your other friends. The course takes
you around Radiator Springs, concentrating on the area of criss-crossing
washes behind Willy's Butte. There are several shortcuts, and lots of narrow,
walled-in racing--not to mention some chances for big air. You'll need a lot
of Powersliding and Tilting finesses to finish first (and an extra boost tank
wouldn't hurt).
######################################################
EVENT: Tailfin Pass Circuit [WT23]
TYPE: Race (3 laps)
LOCATION: Wheel Well
REQ: Finish Sally's Wheel Well Sprint
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 trophies for 2nd place
2 trophies for 3rd place
UNLOCKS: Nothing
######################################################
A very short circuit around the top of Tailfin Pass. There's one tiny
shortcut after the first turn. Since the course is so short, you won't have
much time to recover should you have a bad crash. Drive on the conservative
side rather than flat out.
######################################################
EVENT: Delinquent Road Hazards [WT24]
TYPE: Race (3 laps)
LOCATION: Bottom of road leading to Wheel Well
REQ: Finish Sally's Wheel Well Sprint
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 trophies for 2nd place
2 trophies for 3rd place
1 event for finishing 3rd or higher
Boost tank for winning
UNLOCKS: Chick's Challenge
Additional roads in Tailfin Pass
######################################################
A race around Tailfin Pass against DJ, Wingo and friends. You'll travel
through an abandoned mine, which can present a special set of problems,
including narrow passages and uphill racing. Avoid the shortcut in the mine
unless you're really good at jumping. This is a good race to do quickly in
Chapter 4 as you get an extra boost tank (the third one available) for
winning, and you'll unlock some roads you need for getting the final four
postcards for Lizzie.
######################################################
EVENT: Monster Truck Mayhem [WT25]
TYPE: Race (12 laps)
LOCATION: Casa Della Tires; or,
Rustbucket Arena
REQ: Finish Sally's Wheel Well Sprint
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 trophies for 2nd place
2 trophies for 3rd place
UNLOCKS: Nothing
######################################################
Another short-track race on the Rustbucket course. This time, the course is
two adjacent ovals--you can race around either oval or switch back-and-forth.
You're also piloting a monster truck version of McQueen. Because your vehicle
is jacked up, turns are a bit more problematic. You can Powerslide, but not
Tilt. Try to take whatever track the other trucks are not using and boost
over the ramps.
######################################################
EVENT: Chick's Challenge [WT26]
TYPE: Race (3 laps)
LOCATION: Ornament Valley Gas Station
REQ: Finish Delinquent Road Hazards
REWARD: 5 trophies for 1st place
3 trophies for 2nd place
2 trophies for 3rd place
1 event for winning
UNLOCKS: High Speed Heist
######################################################
The story goes into high gear at this point. First up is this standard race
around Ornament Valley. The big difference this time is you must win (not
just place) to advance the story.
######################################################
EVENT: High Speed Heist [WT27]
TYPE: Mini-game
LOCATION: Flo's V8 Cafe
REQ: Win Chick's Challenge
REWARD: 5 trophies for collecting Lightning's Gear
1 event for winning
UNLOCKS: Lightning Strikes Back
######################################################
This is a three-stage mini-game. In the first stage, you control DJ and have
to catch Mack on a crowded freeway. You have to catch up to Mack within two
minutes. Hitting other cars or going off the road slows you down tremendously.
You do have whatever boost tanks you've earned in the game thus far (up to
three).
The key is to drive mistake-free rather than fast. There are three lanes of
traffic, and one lane will always be open as you weave through the other cars.
If you can avoid hitting other cars or going off the road and maintain a
speed in excess of 100mph, you will have no problem completing this stage.
Stage 2 is similar; this time you're controlling Boost and you, again, have
to catch Mack within 2:00. The twist is, when you catch Mack, you have to
boost over a ramp at the same time that Mack, who is weaving back-and-forth,
is in front of the ramp. You'll need to catch Mack with enough time to spare
to time your jump, so drive a little fast when trying to run Mack down.
In stage 3, Wingo has two minutes to collect five boxes as they fall out of
Mack's trailer. Catch up to Mack, which won't take long, then dodge anything
that's not a yellow box. Hit the yellow boxes to add them to your total--when
you have five, you win the mini-game.
######################################################
EVENT: Lightning Strikes Back [WT28]
TYPE: Mini-game
LOCATION: Ornament Valley Gas Station
REQ: Win High Speed Heist
REWARD: 5 trophies for winning
1 event for winning
UNLOCKS: Smasherville International Speedway
######################################################
Similar to "High Speed Heist", you're controlling McQueen and chasing down DJ,
Boost, Wingo and Snot Rod. You have to bump each perp three times and collect
a box of your stuff. Once you've hit all four cars three times within a time
limit of 3:30, you win the game.
You can't boost, but that's OK, because speed isn't an issue. The other cars
drive pretty slowly, so catching them is easy unless you hit a lot of traffic.
You see, this time, you're going the wrong way on the freeway, so avoiding
oncoming cars is the biggest challenge. As long as you can keep the number of
traffic hits down to a handful, you'll win this game easily.
######################################################
EVENT: Smasherville International Speedway [WT29]
TYPE: Race (12 laps)
LOCATION: In front of Mack, next to Flo's
REQ: Win Lightning Strikes Back
Earn 115 trophies
REWARD: 10 trophies for 1st place
6 trophies for 2nd place
4 trophies for 3rd place
1 event for winning
UNLOCKS: Chapter 5
Radiator Springs Grand Prix
######################################################
This is a short-track oval with high, banked turns. It is actually relatively
easy, since you can go flat out all the time. This is good, because you have
to win this time (not just place) to advance the story. Stay off the walls
(pretty easy) and don't get caught behind a slow car (not quite as easy) and
you'll win going away.
