Toys in the Hood 1 is a stock track, created by Acclaim Studios. Is the first track in bronze cup and in game. It sets the racers in suburbia, starting at a construction site and sending everyone around the block. The racing line is original and fun to play. This track comes included in demos of all the game's ports, except rolling demo.
Hazards/Obstacles
There is a basketball at the end of the main straightway that bounces out into the road on the first lap. While not as heavy as a Ball Bearing, it can still spin you out and slow you down.
Global Pulse Location
The Global Pulse is found above the parked car on the main straightway. There is a ramp leaning against the back of the car; line up and hit it full speed (on a rookie car) to nab it. Higher-rank cars will need to reduce speed near the top, or else they will fly clear over it. The Global Pulse is located on top of the red car with a ramp behind.
Practice Star Location
The Practice star is located under the parked car on the main straightway, on the sidewalk.
Tips
- Cut corners as much as possible; most curbs have an incline you can use to your advantage.
- Avoid jumps unless you need to get the pick-up sitting above it; jumps will slow you down.
- If your car has enough speed coming out of the sewer pipe, you can just speed right up the steep incline instead of taking the usual route.
- Try using Oil Slicks, Ball Bearings, and Clone Pick-Ups in the sewer pipe.
- A great place to drop a Clone Pick Up or Oil Slick is in the midst of the three pickups that are in front of the starting line; drop one on your way into the sewer pipe (or out of it, if playing the track reversed).
