Secret cars
Finish first in each track (novice, advanced, and expert), then return to race each track in Time Trial mode. After beating each track, the special car (Devil #13, Kid Car #13 or White Angel #0) for that track will be available.

Extra tracks
Finish all the tracks in first place to race a reverse version of the tracks. Finishing the reversed tracks in first place also unlocks the hidden "Scene" menu.

Reversed tracks
Start the race, then immediately turn around and drive towards the wall at the starting line at full speed. A reversed version of the track will appear after your car passes through the wall.
