NOTE: As their name suggests hints are not exactly The Simpsons: Hit & Run cheats, and are usually just simple (but very useful) tips on how you can unlock secret level, features, find hidden areas and such. Hopefully these will make playing The Simpsons: Hit & Run even more entertaining.
Ride an ATV or Quad
You can find an ATV or Quad to ride at the trailer park
in Homer's and Marge's levels. It is between two trailers
at the far end.
Drive the monorail
In Bart's first level, go to the entrance/exit to the
highway. Where there is a split road, go to the right
and up the stairs. You will see a monorail. Go to the
front car and press [Triangle] to drive the first monorail
car around.
Drive a monster truck
When on Apu's level, you can get a monster truck, Go to
Springfield Stadium. Directly next to the fountain is
a green monster truck.
Drive pink Cadillac
On level 6 with Bart, drive to Planet Hype (right at the
beginning of the docks, there is a revolving planet there)
and go on the roof. The Pink Cadillac is crashed into
the front of the building in a little slot (facing the
Squidport sign). Fall off the front of Planet Hype, land
on the Cadillac, get in, and drive it.
Drive a rocket car
In Homer's first level, drive to the power plant at the
back of the town. Then, drive through the power plant.
Once you reach the end, keep going along the road and
on the left, in front of one of the big gold houses near
Mr. Burns' mansion, you will find a blue and white rocket
car that you can drive around.
Giant chessboard
On Homer's first level, drive into the nuclear power plant.
You will soon find a blocked passage. Get out of your
car, jump on the metal things, and double jump then press
[Square] to break it. Inside are more than 100 coins. When
in, hit all of the chess people, get the coins, and knock
down the trees for a nice amount of coins. Note: This
place is huge and you cannot get your car in it.
Coins list
Here is a list of how many coins for destroying these things:
Buzz Box: 31
Wasp Camera: 25
Krusty Glass: 2
Lampost, Tree, Bin, etc...: 1
Living room variations
If your internal clock is set to a holiday, the main menu living room will change to accomodate that holiday.
Get Endless Coins
Go get a car and drive around until you find a wrench nearby. Crash your car close by and let it blow up. After it blows up, grab the coins and get in the blown up vehicle. Then drive over to the wrench and fix your car and repeat the process.
Get a Speed Boost
To get a small boost, stop the car, and then hold the gas, the parking brake, and the regular brakes at the same time. Let the tires squeel a little until you see small flames. Release both brakes and hold the gas. The car should take off really quick.
Mini RC Car
In Homer's last level there is an RC car hidden somewhere in the city. To find it go to the Krusty Burger with the firetrucks next to it. Go to the second firetruck and jump on the ladder and head for the firetruck's roof. There will be a mini RC car and a Bumblebee camera. Destroy it and have fun with your mini RC car.
