- End of stage bonus : 200 + 100 points/level x number of cars destroyed.
- Special Bonus : 50,000 points for destroying no cars.
Tips and tricks
- Bonus Points : if you make it through an entire board without smashing any cars, you'll get a 50,000 point bonus.
- You can jump off the edge of the screen and land on the other side. Use this tactic to escape from a tight spot, but only when the track is widest.
- Try not to get caught between three cars, as when you bump one into a wall, chances are the impact will bounce you back into the wall.
