Midtown Madness is a free roam racing/arcade game, first in the Midtown Madness series, developed by Microsoft Game Studios and Angel Studios (now Rockstar San Diego). The game features a range of vehicles which can be driven around Chicago. The game features Blitz, Checkpoint, Circuit and Cruise modes. Winning Blitz, Checkpoint and Circuit races allows you to unlock new vehicles. (Wikipedia)

GLITCHES

Disable blitz mode timer
Press View when a race starts to switch to the in-the-car camera. While inside, look back and press View again. If done correctly, the dashboard and timer will disappear. To start the timer again, enter

the car and look back again.

Phantom sounds
Go into the tunnel that goes into the garage when there are no cars in there. You will hear a honk, yelling, then a crash. If you look back, there will be nothing there. This also happens when you go to the road where it goes into the freeway ramp - you will just hear a honk and yelling. Please note: This only happens in certain locations.

Drive on building
There is a dotted square on the middle part the map. Go straight down the top dotted line and try to go around at top speed with a light weight car. There will be a ramp when you get to the end of the road. Hit that ramp and your car will jump very high. Try heading for the building on the left. If you succeed, you will be on top of the building and the background will glitch. This jump is possible, but difficult to pull off.

Drive bus on roof
Drive the City Bus into McCormick Place and into the garage area. Drive up one of the ramps on the inside. If done correctly, you will be on the roof. Please note: This cheat works best with the dashboard or external view.

Wheels only
Select the Panoz AIV Roadster, then press D followed by V during game play. Press Esc to restart the race and only the wheels of your car will be displayed.

No wheels
Drive to the mall section (the glass enclosed building with store outline inside). Drive through one piece of glass and park sideways next to the inside of an unbroken piece. Go to the external view and zoom to side of your car, as looking in from the outside of the unbroken glass. Your car will look like it has no wheels, as if you were floating on air.

Shrink cars
In the tunnel with the garage inside, hit a number of cars on to the part of the exit where the hill starts. Make sure that half of the car is on either side of the slope going up. Go far into the garage/parking lot area of the tunnel and go back to the slope where you hit all the cars. If done correctly, one of the cars should be shrunken and its wheels should be bouncing as if it had hydraulics.

Disappearing ramps
Drive the city bus to McCormick Place. Go through the garage part without going on any ramps. Then, turn left to go to the rusty ramps. Go to the ramp that is pointing in the opposite direction. Go straight for it and just when you smash into it, press Esc to pause game play. The ramp will disappear. You can do the thing same again to also make the other ramp disappear.

Strange crash
Select the Panoz Roadster and go to Navy Pier. Drive up the ramp fast. When you jump off, you will land on the cement, but it will say "Sleep with the fishes" at the top. During the next five seconds, your camera will be the chase/helicopter view.
