1)What is Crusin USA? Crusin' USA is a very popular Arcade and Nintendo 64 game (The Arcade is MUCH better, at least I think so.). The original Arcade game came out in 1994 and the N64 version came out in 1996.
2)Where can I play it? You can play Crusin' USA at most arcades or just buy the N64 game.
3)What do I need to play it? To play Crusin' USA in the arcade, you will need about 50 cents, on a Deluxe 2 player machine, you may need 75 cents. If you want to buy the N64 version it will cost about $70 (If you don't already have a N64 it will cost around $200.).
4)The Controls When you walk up to your local Crusin' USA machine you will see some really neat things to do on it.
Start Button-The Green Start Button Starts the game after you put in the required money.
Radio Button-During the race you can change the music that you hear. Everyone send your favorite Crusin' USA music to Crusin12@aol.com and if I ever update the Driver's Guide I will post the results.
Gas Pedal-Simple, the accellerator.
Brake Pedal-The Brake.
Sterring Whell-It sterrs the car.
View 1 Lo Rider-Press this and the view will appear as if you are in the car. This is the most realistic (and hardest) view.
View 2 Crusin'-This view appears as if you were in the car behind the car that you control.
View 3 Ski Hi-My favorite view. Loks as if you were in a helicopter above the car.
Gear Shifter-Changes the gears.
The N64 version lets you choose your own control configuration. Listed below is my reccomendation.
Gas Pedal-A Brake Pedal-L, R Radio- B Shift Up-Top C button Shift Down-Bottom C button Change View-Z Steering-Analog Stick

6)The Courses The following are descriptions of all the Crusin' USA courses.
Golden Gate Park Golden Gate Park is the first race in hte game. This is a very easy course. It lets you get the feel of the game. When you see the Nintendo sign, be ready for a sharp left turn.
San Francisco Most of San Francisco's streets are only two lanes, so always pass on the right. Never worry about driving on the sidewalk.
US 101 On this course it is best to use the Ski Hi view, if the Lo Rider view is on you won't be able to see the track when going into jumps. Watch out for the sharp turn at the end of the course.
Redwood Forest This course has very sharp turns once you get into the forest, and there are only two lanes! This course is for experts.
Beverly Hills Use the Ski Hi view on this course. There are so mush visuals on screes at one time, that it is hard to keep up with the race.
LA Freeway This ia a fairly easy course. There is almost no traffic to stop you. Be careful not to Drive up on the side of the road!
Death Valley This course only has two lanes so, be very careful about oncoming traffic. Be sure to have your car accelerated to beat the train across the train crossing.
Arizona This course is easy enough. Be careful going through turns with on high enbankment on either side.
Grand Canyon On this course, you can travel at very high speeds across the landscape. If you hit the boulders on the side of the road at the right angle, they will hit other cars!
Iowa In Iowa, bugs may splatter on your windshield, or bird waste may fall from above (lets move on). Also don't run into the toll booth.
Chicago Chicago is one of the harder courses. When going through the turns in the tunnel put on the brakes.
Indiania As in Iowa, bugs can come flying onto your car. To fix this, just change the view to Crusin' or Ski Hi.
Appalachia This course has the most variety in the game. Expect all types of turns as you navigate through the tough landscape.
Washington D.C. This is the last course in the game. Try to be in first when you get to the tunnel of money
7)Tricks And Codes Section This section will tell you tips for the game. It also features all the codes.
Mysterious Woman in Iowa In Iowa there is a strange woman that you can see. After the first checkpoint, you will see a single tree on the left side of the road. Face it and slowly run over it. You will now see the woman. She is standing next to a sign that says DAWN. If anyone knows what this means, send what you know to Crusin12@aol.com.
