Begin your game and go to the Options screen. Choose "Set Player Mode"
and select "Mano A Mano" at any level. Then exit and go to the Bike Shop.
Choose any bike you'd like. Return to the Options screen and select "Set
Player Mode" again. Next, choose the type of game you want. Select
"Take Turns" and copy the password. Use the password to race with the
bike you've chosen! When it's player two's turn, they can choose their bike
with the same procedure.
At the title screen, press and hold Up, A and C simultaneously, then press
Start. You'll receive a Super bike, the "Wild Thing 2000", which goes 200
mph, has unlimited Nitrous, and can't spin or slide out!
If you qualify on all five tracks of level 5, you will advance to a special level 6
in which you race all cops. The password "8PC8 5VNE" will put you at
level 5, qualified on all tracks except Arizona. This is the only way to
get there since the password system does not work for level 6.
The following is a breakdown of the password structure. This description
is rather technical and offers of rewrites will be greatly appreciated.

-Money in $10's-
(high 4 bits)
Each of the eight password characters is a 5-bit value represented
by the characters "0" (00000) through "V" (11111).
The first four characters of the password how much money you have
in units of $10. Only the high-order 4 bits of each of these
characters are used; the use of the low-order bit is unknown, but
it contributes to the checksum in the 8th character.
The 5th character indicates the current level (1-5) in the low
order three bits.
The 6th character indicates one of the 16 available bikes in the
high-order 4 bits as a value from 0 (intro bike) to 15 (binary
1111, "Wild Thing", available only through a special Startup
sequence or via the password).
The 7th character indicates the tracks on which you have qualified
in the order (high bit to low bit) Vermont, Arizona, Tennessee,
Hawaii and Alaska.
The 8th character is a checksum.
HOW TO GET MORE MONEY:
To increase the amount of money you have by tens of thousands of
dollars, increase the value in character 1 in increments of 2 and
decrease the value in character 2 by the same amount (you must
adjust both to allow the checksum value in the 8th character to
remain valid).
HOW TO INCREASE LEVEL:
Increase the 5th character by one to four (to a maximum value of
"5") and also increase the 8th character by the same amount. If
you get "password invalid", try changing the 8th character until it works.
HOW TO SELECT A DIFFERENT BIKE:
Increase the 6th character in steps of 2 and decrease the 4th
character by the same amount. This will also slightly reduce your
money, but it allows the checksum value (character 8) to remain
valid. To select the undocumented bike named "Wild Thing", you
must be on the intro bike, set the 6th character to "V" then
increase the 4th character by 2.
HOW TO MARK TRACKS AS QUALIFIED:
Select the appropriate value for the 7th character then experiment
with the 8th character until the password is accepted. For
example, to qualify on all tracks but Arizona, the value 10111 is
required, which translates to an "N" (see description above).
Change the 7th character to "N" then find an 8th character that works.
