Cheat Codes

Built in Cheats

The big game mode and thrash mode (which is big game mode without save) has 5 levels, 5 tracks, 25 races and with each race the game gets much much harder opponents get ruthless.
There's a lot of cool cheats in road rash which ofcourse most of it is is already known by the community but if you're new and struggling these are the built in cheats you can use
before you can activate them you gotta jump in a race type in
** xyzzy **
this will turn your name yellow which means you're in cheat entering mode if you wish to exit just type
** plugh **
this will turn your name white again and won't let you enter cheats
once you make sure your name in the game is yellow
these are the cheats you can type in for "!" just press shift+1 and for (+enter) just press enter on your keyboard after typing the cheat

  • spoon! - gives you nitro, if your bike doesnt have it
  • k'thunk! - gives you a pipe to hit people with, if your character doesnt have it
  • thwack! - gives you a chain to hit people with if your character doesnt have it
  • bribe(+enter) - sends any cop on screen to the backrooms
  • yes,occifer(+enter) - same as the cheat above but longer

Removing cars from the game

Sending traffic cars to the backrooms

Once you get in the later levels the car density in the city and peninsula become prime time rush hour traffic maintaining high speed in those levels without getting run over and flying off your bike is really hard in the city area. You can remove cars from the game from spawning completely but it needs messing with the game files so make sure you back your files up before trying it out

  • Right click on the game -> Manage -> Browse local files
  • Find the DATA folder inside find the CARS folder
  • Rename the CARS folder to anything else or copy the folder somewhere else and delete it
    That's it, only do this if you're struggling to be on your bike in the later levels and you have the fastest bike in the game already because without cars it also gives an advantage to the AI bikers some of whom just fall off in the first few seconds of the game, with the cars gone there's no holding them back, but if you have the fastest bike and nitro there's nothing you gotta worry about, but still it changes the experience of the game drastically.
    If you want CARS back just get the folder back to the DATA location or rename it back to CARS, thats it

Textureless hills and Buildings

Turn off background textures

If for some reason you're running this on period accurate hardware from the 90s and it's not hitting 60fps or you just hate how the hills and buildings look press

    (minus twice)
    it'll turn off all the textures of the background if you want them back press

    (plus twice)

That's all folks

PS:- Sam Altman ruined my birthday by stealing all the RAM from the market so I can't buy a ps5 to play gta 6 or buy a new PC to play any new games or run my own open source LLM so this is all I can play
