Tutorial Mission
Walk over to Marge and speak with her to start the mission. You will have to go to the Kwik-E Mart and purchase some ice cream and cola. Go to the driveway and hop into the Family Vehicle. You will want to pull out left, and turn right. Follow the path, and make the right turn when needed.

At the intersection, you will notice the Kwik-E Mart on the right . Drive over near the glowing blue circle to complete the task. Hop out of the vehicle, and go inside of the store by pressing the same button that you use to get in and out of vehicles. Once inside, go talk to Apu. This will bring up your purchase towards the back of the room. Walk over and you will automatically pick it up, completing the mission.

S-M-R-T
Return to the Family Vehicle outside of the Kwik E-Mart (assuming you are going to the first mission from the tutorial mission), and back out of the parking lot. Follow the green arrows to the left to get back to the house. Walk over to Marge and talk to her, then hop inside of the Family Vehicle again after you pick up the science project on the front lawn.

Drive out of the driveway, and follow the same path that you took to reach the Kwik-E Mart. You will soon be prompted to race to the school! Principal Skinner is racing you to reach the school first, so you will have to zoom ahead of him. Remember to lie off of the acceleration when making turns, as the vehicles handle slightly like real life vehicles.

Cut across two lawns at the start to get on his side. If there is a vehicle near him, try to cut him off into the path of the traffic. If this does not work, stay patient. Once you reach the Kwik-E Mart, turn right and drive up the ladder on the back of the Fire Truck to easily steal the lead.

Follow this, and you will have two options: Straight, or right. Definitely take straight, and try to cut off Principal Skinner once more. Stay towards the center, and make your turn to the right after the two-sided path with the shrubs in the center. Follow the green arrows, and Principal Skinner will crash through a window on the left. Edge around the corner to the right to gain the advantage.

Roll into the blue circle icon to obtain the win over Principal Skinner. With the clock off, you can hop out of the vehicle and go inside of the school building. Walk to the right and talk to Lisa. This will complete the mission. You can check out the new costumes to the right, where the '$' mark is floating.

You should now be able to purchase two new vehicles: the Duff Truck, and the Black Van. You can purchase them from a man across the street from Cletus (right after bridge to the trailer park area).

Petty Theft Homer
From the school, just follow the familiar path back from where you came from by making a few memorable turns while following the green arrows. Once you arrive, walk into the house, and talk to Marge. It seems as if Ned Flanders has some possessions of his stolen, and Homer has taken them. Go talk to Ned, and then hop into your vehicle.

Pay close attention to your map. The blue dots indicate where the items are. Move to the right of Ned's house, across the street and collect the Tux on the front lawn of one of the locals. Fir every item you collect, your time limit increases. Follow this road, and make the right turn. Keep following the path and you will find a Lawn Mower on another lawn.

After this, you will need to go talk to Barney about the Ice Cooler. He is located at the gas station near the trailer park part of town, so continue following this road. It is across the street from the upcoming Krusty Burger. Stop the vehicle near the gas station, and get out. Talk to Barney, and he will fork over the Ice Cooler after revealing something that Flanders will definitely not appreciate.

Collect the Ice Cooler, and hop back into the vehicle. Drive back towards the neighborhood by backtracking from where you came from. At the end of the curve in the right lane of the road lies a Chair, so collect it. Now it is time to collect the 'stupid' Flanders Family Portrait. Follow the path, as usual, and go through the driveway of the land blue house dead ahead. You will collect the Family Portrait.

Now all we need is Rod's Inhaler, and it is back at the Kwik-E Mart. Back up from the driveway, and follow the green arrows. You will soon come up on the Kwik-E Mart, so hop out of your vehicle after you park it in the parking lot, and go to the back of the truck.

There is a button on the back here, so press it. This will lift the boxes attached to the back. Climb up to the top of the truck, and collect Rod's Inhaler. Jump down from the top of the truck, and hop back into your vehicle. Burn rubber out of the parking lot, and backtrack to the neighborhood. Go by Flanders house, and get out of the vehicle. Talk to him to complete the mission.

Office Spaced
Walk on over to the Simpsons' house, and enter the door. Talk to Marge about Smithers and his evaluation with Homer today. Homer panics, and you must go find Lenny. You must go to the Krusty Burger, which is across the street from where you found Barney at in the last mission.

Follow the path to the right of the Simpsons' home, and take out any poles or stop signs along the way, as you will have to collect 150 coins for an upcoming purchase to carry on with the story. Get out of the vehicle as you reach the Krusty Burger, and talk to Lenny.

Walk across the street to where Barney is, and purchase the Snow Plow (Plow King) from him. You will now have to hop into the Plow King, and chase down Smithers. He is exiting the Kwik-E Mart, so you will want to catch him on the way out. Follow the path that you came from, and go past your house. Keep following the path, and you will eventually come up on the Kwik-E Mart.

Along the way to Smithers, position yourself along the left side of the road, and you will hit Smithers' vehicle head on. Try ramming into him a few times to get the best amount of health withdrawn before he can align himself on the straight path. Once he is back on his merry way, get in front of his vehicle and cut Smithers off. If in front of the vehicle correctly, he will continue ramming into the side of your vehicle, which takes away tiny chunks of his health. If you play this right, and react to the way that he drives, you can stay in front of his vehicle and allow him to take away all of the health to his vehicle.

If you are having trouble with this strategy, try to cut him off so that he will run into a building, parked car, what have you... Now, while he is trying to escape, back up far away, and hit the acceleration to ram into him. This takes down a decent chunk of health.

Blind Big Brother
Go over to Homer's workstation inside of the Power Plant. Once inside, Homer will go on a rampage regarding the security cameras. Walk outside of the workstation, and a timer will begin set at 3 minutes and 30 seconds (3:30). Destroy the Power Coupling (1) to the left of the doorway, and begin walking to the left from here.

There will be a button glowing pink that you must press to lower a walkway. Once on the walkway, it will take you up towards the top of the area, so step off to the left. Destroy the Power Coupling here (2), and 7 more remain. Await the arrival of another walkway to the left, and hop on once it arrives. Step off to the left up here, and destroy the Power Coupling (3).

Drop down to the left, and backtrack to the left via the scaffold that is back towards the screen. There is another Power Coupling in the center, so smash it up (4). From here, go back along the left, and walk onto the automatic walkway here. It will take the even higher, so step off once you arrive to your destination.

There is a trap electric floor in the corner, so double jump to get across it and to the left . Break up the Power Coupling (5). Step onto the platform to the left, and pressing the glowing pink button to activate the platform. It will take you to the far left. Walk off, and destroy the Power Coupling here (6).

Walk down the slanted walkway, and to the left. Follow this path until you see another Power Coupling, which you should destroy (7). Step onto the automatic platform, and press the glowing pink button. Stay on the platform until it goes left, and back to the right. Step off where you came from. This is for in case you fall, you have a shortcut.

You will have to jump across the dual falling platforms in the background. You will begin double jumping once they have fallen for around half a second. By the time you land, they will be together (or nearly together), so double jump as soon as you touch them. Destroy the Power Coupling on this side (8). You can also reach this side easily by a steam stack on the side across from Homer's workstation.

Only one more to go. This one is very simple; just go to the right from the eighth Power Coupling, and make a left turn. It will be sitting there, so smash it up. Afterwards, you will have to go back to your workstation to complete the mission. Before you do, you can hop up onto the steam stack to the right and boost up to a platform that will ride to the top of the building. Hop across three fans (the platforms are counted as circular, not just the blades), and you can find a Collector Card (Carbon Rod).

Flowers By Irene
Before going to the mission, get a sturdy vehicle like the Plow King or Pickup Truck. Now, go to the Simpsons household, and enter the place. Sit down to watch some TV and Homer will become paranoid. Walk outside, and quickly hop into a vehicle. Your mission is to follow the Black Van, but win in a race or anything complex. Just follow it. It will round the corner to the left, and cut over to the right. It will now follow the path to the slums, so chase the vehicle over the bridge.

It will now cut through the trailer park shortcut, so follow it. Remember to stay alongside of the left portion of the trailer park. Follow it by getting closer via the shortcut in between the trees and the fence. Go through the barn shortcut as it will, and slowly into the Power Plant.

Once inside of the Power Plant, it will go through the shortcut on the left side. Follow it through the tunnels, then the tomb room. Soon after this, you will be out in the open once again. Follow the Black Van as it moves forward, and you will complete the mission.

Bonestorm Storm
Visit the Grocery Store by following the green arrows on the ground past the gas station, over the half-drawn bridge, and to the location. Hop out of the vehicle and talk to Marge regarding the latest deadly video game on the market, Bonestorm. You will have to ram into the delivery truck to make the video games fall out of the back of it.

The general strategy for this mission is simple: Follow the delivery truck (which is coming from the right, where you can ram into it from the side) as fast as you can, and cut it off the hard way by ramming into it. Even bumper bumping it will do the job. You will receive a notice once a package drops from the back of the vehicle. You must collect the fallen package to continue with the mission.

As always, we will want to be less destructive towards the city on this mission, as we definitely do not need the publicity from the Hit & Run police squad. Try to ram into the vehicle as it turns. After you collect all 10 packages, drive back to the Simpsons household to complete the mission.

The Fat And The Furious
For this mission, you will want to drive out to the Power Plant after you select the Electaurus (you should have unlocked it by now, if not, take the Family Vehicle instead). Pull up, and hop out of your vehicle. Walk over to Carl and have a word with him. Afterwards, you will have to jump into your vehicle and speed off in a race against Smithers!

Follow the path as you speed out of the parking lot. Once you come up on the barn, enter the off-colored gate and go through the farm to gain speed on Smithers. Once you exit the farm, turn right and speed up the ramp to drive completely over the tire-burning lot. This will give you a great advantage over Smithers.

Make a hard right to cut through the trailer park to gain even more speed on Smithers. He should be in the dust by now. Go across the bridge, and follow the path that you would normally take to the Kwik-E Mart. Remember to cut across the lawns and such along the way, as this saves a lot of time.

Follow the path to the Kwik-E Mart, and go up the Fire Truck's ladder on the right. After you make the right, then straight path, you can get the edge by going up on the left and busting through the window. There will be a path that you can drive up along the right to gain time, and then jump over the half-drawn bridge.

Jumping over the bridge will also heal your vehicle up. There will be a few twists and sharp turns here, so ride the side of them to pretty much claim your victory at this point. When you will reach the finish line, jump out and have a chat with Mr. Burns about the Black Vans.

This Old Shanty (Bonus Mission)
You can find Cletus at the beginning of the slums, directly in front of where you cross the bridge. Take the Plow King (or the Electaurus, if you have unlocked it from the three Race victories), and go talk to him. You will need to collect five Cardboard Tubes, and pluck the Tomacco Harvest. Start off with the Cardboard Tubes by going towards the bridge again, and roll off to the right side, then back to the road to collect the first one (1).

Go across the bridge, and to the right once again to collect the next Cardboard Tube (2). Make a left here, and follow the path. After you round the turn to the right, ride up on the sidewalk and lawns to the left to collect the Cardboard Tube (3). You will have to perform the same movements up ahead to collect the fourth (4).

Follow the path, and drive up onto Flanders' lawn to collect the last Cardboard Tube (5). Whip a U-Turn and drive back to the slums once again. After you cross the bridge, go right slightly, and cut through the trailer park. Hug the left side, as it can be dangerous to your vehicle on the right.

Once you get out of the trailer park area, you will have to hold left slightly, and drive in between the trees and the fencing. Hug left, and cut through the barn area. Once you land, make a U-Turn and get out of the vehicle. Go into the Tomacco field and collect the 12 Tomaccos from the field after zooming out on the camera angle.

Hop back into your vehicle, and begin driving over to the right where there is a field. There is a gate, where the color is different. Drive through here for a shortcut, and turn right slightly. Go up the hill leading through the tire-burning field, and you will jump clean over it. Follow the path here to Cletus's house. Hop out of your vehicle, and chat with him. You've now unlocked his Pickup Truck for use.

Race 1: Time Trial
This has to be the easiest of the three races in the first level. In the Trailer Park, you can find Milhouse. After chatting with him, you will have to race five easy laps around the trailer park. This is not as bad as you may think. Try taking the Family Vehicle in, as it is fairly decent in these races.

Starting the race off, you will want to hit the acceleration, and E-Brake to drift along the right. This should make a 180-degree turn while moving in the right direction. Go forward through the trailer park, and hug the left side a bit so you do not run into anything along the right. At the end of the trailer park, you will have to perform another drifting turn to the right, exactly as you did the first time. You must repeat this four more times to complete the race.

Race 2: Circuit Race
In the rich part of town (the alternate exit to the Power Plant), search for a Gasoline Station. Once you reach there, talk to Nelson. After a funny conversation, you will have to race in the circuit. I prefer using the Family Vehicle, however, down the block from the gas station is a parked Honor Roller, much like the one that is constantly in first during this race. It will blow up easily, however, so the choice is yours.

From the start of the race, cut across the lawn and dart towards the Van. Cut it off, and catch another big break by semi-turning rather than a full-fledged hard way turn to the right to gain some speed on the Honor Roller. The rest of this course should be smooth sailing until the 180-degree hard way turn. Here, you will have to E-Brake and turn around fast, Vin Diesel-style. If this doesn't work out, let off of the acceleration, and crash softly into the side of the rail, which can also slow the Honor Roller down.

On the way back around, try not to hit the solid tree, since it can royally mess you up. Other than that, just keep these tips in mind for all three tracks. One last alternative strategy is to try to cut the Honor Roller off very early to mess up his/her time without messing with yours. This is tricky, but possible. Remember, you do not have to actually touch the checkpoints, just get near them. Use this to your advantage.

Race 3: Checkpoint Race
Outside of the First Church of Springfield (near the Springfield Elementary School), you will notice Ralph, our favorite little nitwit. Ralph is holding a racing contest, and it is a pain. You will want to be driving the Family Vehicle, or you can start the contest, cancel the mission, and take the futuristic Honor Roller. The body on the Honor Roller is terrible, though, and you will likely explode after a few dings.

Cut over the lawn on the left to get an early edge on the school bus. Next up is the Van, which you can simply pass up eventually without much trouble. While the Honor Roller is turning to the right, keep going straight and you will gain a slight bit of speed on the Honor Roller. Hit the checkpoint, and go through the shortcut on the left side of the building.

Turn left after you get through with the shortcut, and gain added time over the Honor Roller by riding up on the lawns to hug the edge of the path. Go through the park on the right after the long turn, and cut through all of the lawns that you see. You will have to follow the path, and eventually reach the bridge leading to the trailer trash part of town. Once over here, make your fast right left, and take the shortcut through the trailer parks.

Hug the left when going through here, as the path shifts to the right slightly. Cut in between the trees and the tire burning lot to gain more time, and roll out on the left. Hit the checkpoint and go through the barn, which is another shortcut. After the barn shortcut, you will have to follow the path as you normally would. If you Honor Roller gets close, cut him off and roll into the checkpoint for the victory. This will unlock the Electaurus for use.
