Psst... secrets
You found the hidden page. Here is everything the game keeps up its sleeve. Spoilers below: if you'd rather find them yourself, close this page and go and tap things.
Kickstart Your Heart: the hidden power-up
On about one leg in three (two in three for the Finkbräus), a badge with a red heart rolls down the road once. It doesn't spin like the patches: it beats like a heart. Ride into it and for fifteen seconds cars bounce off you (+500 each) and you turn down every drink (+100). The badge and a countdown show at the top right while it lasts.
The wrench: double speed, double points
On about two legs in five, a spanner on a yellow disc comes down the road, rocking as if it's tightening a nut. Grab it for a tune-up: for fifteen seconds you ride twice as fast, so the kilometres go twice as quick, and everything you pick up scores double. The wrench and a countdown show at the top right.
The Forito
On the rider screen, tap the title PICK YOUR RIDER. Out comes the Forito, a Ford Fiesta that rides to the rallies like any scooter.
The Last V8
On the same screen, tap the words YOUR OWN RIDER (the words, not the button under them). You get the Last V8 Interceptor.
Road to Cogolludo: the secret rally
On the country screen, tap the title WHERE TO?. A secret rally appears under Spain: Road to Cogolludo, our wedding run. Like the original game, it always sets off from Norwich. Its patch is a bonus that doesn't count towards the total. Finishing it also brings out the Finkbräus (below).
The Finkbräus: ten more riders
The rest of the wedding crew hide on the rider screen, as they did in the original Road to Cogolludo. Tap the rider's name under the two big pictures (MIGUEL or ALBA) and the Finkbräus ride out: Victor, Clara, David, Hector, Zamo, Markez, Josemari, Isra, Ivan and the Benitos, two of them on one Vespa. Tap one to ride as them. They stay for good, and finishing Road to Cogolludo brings them out too.
Each Finkbräu has a power, shown next to their scooter on the rider screen, and all of them find Kickstart Your Heart twice as often.
- Victor and Clara, no alcohol: every drink on their road and at the pub is a soft drink (cola, 0.0 beer, lemonade). Grab them for points on the road: they never make you dizzy. At the pub they don't make you merry either, they make you tired: the meter turns blue and fills just the same. Victor also hides a second scooter: tap him while riding and he swaps his yellow Lince for a grey LDi that fires laser rays down the road. Anything a ray touches is collected, and cars are zapped off the road (+500). Tap him again to swap back.
- David and Zamo, double tolerance: six drinks before they have to stop instead of three, and drinks fill the merry meter half as fast. On every leg they also find the reggae patch, sometimes twice: for 15 seconds the road slows down, everything turns a little green, the music goes reggae and a car only counts if you hit it square on.
- Hector, dancer: triple points at the pub and the rally party, and double tolerance like David and Zamo.
- Markez, off-roader: rides on the verge as long as he likes, with no punctures, and has double tolerance too.
- Josemari, economy: his fuel lasts twice as long. He also takes six drinks before he has to stop, like David and Zamo, and every drink on his road and at every pub is a kalimotxo. On top of the usual food he finds hot sandwiches, worth three meals.
- Isra, bulldozer: cars bounce off him, and he's a dancer too: triple points at the pub and the rally party.
- Ivan, immune to drinks: he can have every drink on the road and never gets too dizzy to ride, or merry at the party, but he always rides with a gentle wobble. Like Josemari, he finds hot sandwiches, worth three meals.
- The Benitos, triple tolerance: nine drinks before they have to stop, and drinks fill the merry meter a third as fast. The catch: with two of them on one Vespa they are very slow, and the road goes by at little more than half speed.
