III. Car Comparison Table
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car Comparison Table provided by -VooDoo-.

Straight from -VooDoo-:

I measured the precision stats with a precision ruler (those in the bottom
of the Customize Ride, not those on the performance board) they're 50mm
long on a 15" flat screen, so I just measured them all and compared it with
each other. Because those bars use 100 divisions I could convert the stats
to percentages. This was made because I realised different cars reacted
differently to the upgrades. (e.g. Golf has a low top speed in stock, but
with the Level 3 upgrades it gets a top speed even better than the Dodge)

IV. Bonus Cars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Bonus cars are not available in Underground Mode.

Where are the bonus cars? (Nismo Sentra, VORTEX car,
Petey Pablo Car, Mystikal car, Rob Zombie Car, etc.)

Bonus cars can only be found in Quick Race. To use them, first
select 'Quick Race' from the 'Main Menu', then choose a race
type from the six available. Then scroll thru the selection of
cars.

The name of the bonus car will not be displayed, therefore
find the type of car model that the bonus ride belongs to.
(e.g. the Nismo Sentra will only have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
displayed on the top right, don't go looking for Nismo Sentra!)

If you still can't find it, wait for the car to appear in view
(you will hear the roar of an engine). If you look carefully,
the car will not be in one plain color but have a unique vinyl
on it (customization). Else the car selected is not the bonus
car. You will have to scroll through the list to find the other
car (with the same model name). It should be close to the end
of the list if you scroll all the way to the right.

For example, the Nismo Sentra will have the text 'Nissan Sentra'
on the top right of the screen, but if you wait for the car to
appear the text 'Nismo' and some Japanese characters can be seen
on the side of the car.

If you still can't find the bonus car you're looking for, go
through the style rewards list to make sure that you've unlocked
the particular car first. Note: bonus cars are not available in
Underground Mode. I can't stress that enough.

Refer to the Cars section for a complete list of unlockable
bonus cars in NFS:U.

VII. Underground Mode - Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Note: Although Style Rewards can be acquired in any race, I've included
them in the order in which I've unlocked it. I may update this to
reflect the unlockables correctly in the near future. The Race Victory
Rewards are correct)

(Note: Style Rewards removed from Underground Mode. Created a new section
for Style Rewards. Please refer to that section for a complete list
of unlockable Style Rewards)

If you're interested in decking your car with some sweets vinyls before
diving into UG Mode proper, please refer to the Unlocking Style Rewards
section for some tips. Note that bonus cars earned by unlocking style
rewards cannot be used in UG Mode, only vinyls.

In regards to rewards, playing most of the challenges in Underground Mode
at Medium Difficulty up to the last twenty races or so should be enough to
net you the necessary credits in your account for all your upgrade needs.
Although don't let that hinder you from playing a few races at easy since
some challenges really do need luck to complete (and an ample amount of
tries, too). Of course, if you have plans to swap parts often during the
course of the career mode, you might find that the credits earned will
not cover all your modification needs. For example, changing parts or cars
every few races might be fun, but your account credit limits the number of
times you're able to do this. Playing through UG mode at Hard Difficulty
will get you more greens, but be informed that once you have completed
all 112 challenges the car you've been using cannot be modified anymore
and customizations to other cars for quick races do not require credits
(as long as you've unlocked those parts, they're ready for selection).

If you're aiming to unlock magazine covers, you need to go at the
Underground Mode on Hard Difficulty. Some covers can only be unlocked
by beating the best time/score in Career Mode, although once you have
earned a particular cover, there's nothing to stop you from taking on
other challenges of that type on any difficulty setting. Refer to the
Best Times/Scores section for a complete list of track records to beat
in order to earn magazine covers no. 20 - 23.

During the Underground Mode, you will encounter the following challenges:

-----
Drift
-----
"Slide with style to score big points"
Gain points by showing off your drifting skills.
GAIN x2 WITH 200, GAIN x3 WITH 800, GAIN x4 WITH 2400,
GAIN x5 WITH 6400/8000/9600, MAXXXED, etc..
Complete Chained Drifts to gain more bonuses.
- Score points by doing Good Drifts, Great Drift, Chained Drifts,
Clean Laps, etc.
- Avoid losing points through Wall Impacts.

----------
Tournament
----------
1st - 8pts, 2nd 6pts, 3rd 4pts, 4th 2pts

"The player with the most points at the end of the tournament wins."

------
Sprint
------
"Race from point A to point B"
Be the first to the finish line!

----
Drag
----
"Straight line, flat out racing"
"Tap the directional key left or right to change lanes during a
drag race"
Warning: Do not attempt to do a drag race on a street with traffic!
You'd be crazy to try something like that! Obviously this advice
is not heeded here...

Lap Knock-Out
-------------
"Last-place car on each lap is eliminated"

Circuit
-------
"Multi-lap racing against three opponents"

--------------------
Initiation Challenge
--------------------

"Welcome to Underground Mode! Your racing career starts here. Take on the
toughest drivers on the street and prove you are the ultimate racer.
Winners earn cool unlocks and upgrades. Losers go home."

You will be loaned the Vortex car to race in. This challenge is the only
race in Underground Mode in which you'll be able to use a bonus car.
Also, the ride is equipped with Nitrous Boost.

(cutscene)

After the cutscene you will be given a selection of five cars to choose
from to use in Underground Mode. You can refer to the 'cars' section for
some stats on these rides to help you make your choice.

"Ouch. That is seriously weak, dude."

(cutscene)

First five challenges can be selected in no particular order:

----------------------------
Jose's Got Your Back .

-

Q. Are there any cops in Need for Speed Underground?

A. Need for Speed Underground does not have any police that will pursue
those who violate the speed limits in the game. (source: official site)

-

Q. Which out of the five cars at the beginning of a new profile
is best for drift races?

A. Miata. Though it's not a good choice for drag (engine blows
too easily).

-

Q. What are the different Style Points available?

A. Plus: Drafting, Hang Time, Powerslide, Clean Section (+50),
Clean Lap (+200), Clean Race (+500), Near Miss (+100),
Shortcut (+100), Head Start (+100), Lead Lap (+100),
Victory (+500), NOS Purge (+150), 360 (+200).
Minus: Hit Traffic.

You can only get the style points for a successful 360 three
times in a race (200 x 3). All subsequent 360s will be
ignored. Victory and Clean Race style points are awarded once,
at the end of a race. All other points are multiplied by
the number of successful attempts.

Shortcut style points are awarded once in every race, for each
shortcut. Taking the same shortcut multiple times will only
bag you that particular style points bonus once, but taking
different shortcuts in a race will reward you with a style
point bonus per shortcut.

-

Q. What about the NOS Purge bonus?

A. The correct way to do a NOS purge! Gain 150 style points during
the count down by doing a full rev and holding it, then tap the
NOS button. You will know you've done a NOS purge when smokes
come out from the sides of your car. (info by Jax of Lincoln)

To get a NOS Purge bonus, tap the NOS button at the start of a race,
just before the counter reaches 0. It's worth 150 points and has no
multiplier so it's only worth doing once! (info by Andy Turner)

Right before the race starts, press the NOS button. A little exhaust
from the port will blow through the vents/edge of your hood. It looks
like when a bull snorts and it's purely for show, but you get 150 points
for doing it. It just takes a light tap, no need to waste any of your
NOS for later.

That plus head start is a great way to start every race with a
250 style points bonus. (info by Josh)

-

Q. How can I drift better?

A. If you're using a Skyline, try the RX-7. Else turn off stability
control from the Car Menu (under Main Menu, Options)

-

Q. Do you get anything extra for beating Underground Mode on
Hard difficulty?

A. No. There's no difference to the type or number of rewards
unlocked in Easy, Normal or Hard Difficulty. Except for the
amount of credit you earn for completing challenges, of course.

-

Q. Can I carry over the rewards earned/unlocked to another profile?

A. No. By starting a new profile, you begin afresh and would have
to play thru Underground Mode or Quick Races to earn the rewards
again. This applies to all unlockable tracks, vinyls, upgrades,
bonus cars and such.

-

Q. Why is challenge 86/95 so difficult?

A. Please refer to the Underground Mode walkthrough for tips on
beating the challenge.

One angle of looking at it is that it has something to do with
top speed. The AI uses the top speed to their advantage, so
if you're not comfortable with those corners you'll definitely
lose out in the race. Reducing the top speed will set a handicap
that all opponents will follow suit, thus making it difficult to
put the catch-up logic to good use.

-

Q. Challenge 30 (Dead Calm) requires me to upgrade to reputation
level 2. I've done everything including visual upgrades, but it
won't let me race. Did I leave out something?

A. It should be possible to race Challenge 30 if you've upgraded
everything. Check to see if you missed any visual upgrades.
Spoilers, etc. (Note that Challenge 14 also requires you to have
at least a Reputation Level of x1 to participate)

-

Q. I got beaten by a supposedly 'weaker' car. Why does all car
models perform the same?

A. Not all cars are alike. Please refer to the 'Cars' section for
all the minor differences. The difference is miniscule therefore
it's easy to mistake that all rides perform the same. (although
this does make some of the cars slightly inaccurate compared to
their actual counterparts)

-

Q. I've heard rumors of personalized number plates. Is this true?

A. The rumors are false. You're stuck with "UNDRGND" like the rest
of us, if that helps.

-

Q. What's the best car in the game?

A. You have two choices here. The Skyline has speed and control.
On the other hand, the RX-7's handling is slightly better and
pretty useful to use in Drift races.

-

Q. When do I unlock more headlights to customize my ride?

A. In challenge 60 ("Bright Lights Big Spoiler"). Understandably,
this will cause some confusion as the only sets of headlights
available to you are stock and Level 3s. There are no Level 1
and 2 headlights to unlock.

-

Q. During one of the loading screens, it says "Learn how to drift
by watching the tutorial videos." How can I access the videos?

A. (PC) Select Quick Race from the Main Menu, highlight Drag or
Drift and press "T".

(PS2) Press L2 instead when Drag or Drift is highlighted.

--------------------------------
b. Vinyl/Paints/Decals/Body Kits
--------------------------------

Q. (PC) How do you change the color of a vinyl?

A. Go to the Change Vinyl screen, where 4 vinyl layers are shown.
Make sure the vinyl you want to change is highlighted. There
are 2 buttons below it that says 'layer order' and 'vinyl color'.
Use your mouse to click on 'vinyl color' then choose your color
using the keyboard.

-

Q. (PS2) How do you change the color of a vinyl?

A. Go to the Change Vinyl screen, where 4 vinyl layers are shown.
Make sure the vinyl you want to change is highlighted. Press
square on the vinyl to enter the color selection screen.

-

Q. I have tried clicking on vinyl color at the Change Vinyl screen
but nothing happens, and when I click on the arrows the layer
order changes. What gives?

A. Firstly, you have to select a vinyl (Lighting 3, Tribal 3, etc.)
Then click on 'vinyl color' with your mouse to enter the color
selection screen. For vinyls that carry a "2" or "3" label,
you have to choose 2 or 3 colors for them.

Note: Colors for Unique and Manufacturer Vinyls cannot be
changed. You can only "blend" their colors with your car
by using Pearlescent Paint.

-

Q. How do you get Level 2/3 Paints?

A. Level 2 Paint can be unlocked in Underground Mode,
challenge 23 and Level 3 Paint can be unlocked in
challenge 65.

-

Q. How do you paint engine parts?

A. You need to upgrade your engine/exhaust to at least
street performance (Performance Upgrade Level 1
Engine/Exhaust Packages) since you can't paint stock
parts. The paint change is not visible for level 1
packages although you should be able to watch the
engine accent paint change as you scroll through the
paint palette for Level 2 and 3 packages. So if
it doesn't look like there's any difference after
choosing an engine accent color chances are you have
a Level 1 Package. Upgrade to Level 2 or 3, then try
and change the color again. (info by Michael Hauder)

-

Q. Is it possible create your own vinyl for use in the game?

A. Yes, although you require the use of a third-party
program. No help will be provided in this area, you
have to look for it yourself.

-

Q. Any other decal colors to select besides white?
White decals on white cars don't work!

A. (PC) In the decal selection screen, press 'Z' to change
between a white and black decal. You should do this
before choosing the decal itself.

-

Q. What is a wide body kit?

A. A wide body kit extends the body of the car laterally to cover
the tires. They look like molded mud flaps that connects
the bumper to the skirt. You unlock them in challenge 110.
And no, you can't have them both. Not without hacking your
save, anyway.

Note that installing certain wide body kits can totally
change the outlook of your ride. For example sticking the
Vapor wide body kit onto a stock Lancer and you will end
up with what looks like a Lancer Evo VIII (well, that's
what people keep telling me). You can see a Lancer with a
Vapor wide body kit early in the game, in Challenge 29
(Scouting Report). Todd will be driving the Lancer in
question and you'll notice that it looks different
compared to the Lancer you unlock by completing Challenge 4
(The Perfect Shift). Todd's ride has a large Mitsubishi
insignia while the stock Lancer has a smaller one.

This is because you only unlock that particular wide body
kit in Challenge 110! Moreover if you select the wrong wide
body kit (picking Mantis instead of Vapor), then you've
missed your chance and need to start another profile all
over again.

-

Q. Upgrading to a wide body kit means new wheels (tires that are
wider), thus improving acceleration and handling. Am I right?

A. No. Wide body kits are listed as visual upgrades. If visual
upgrades affect a car's performance, all cars would thus have
the same parts to get the best performance possible, therefore
defeating the purpose of having different visual upgrades.

-

Q. How can I get both wide body kits? Do I have to play through
Underground Mode again?

A. Simple. You can't. There's absolutely no way you can have both
and swap kits in-between races. If you've selected one you're
stuck with that unless you begin a new Underground Mode with
another profile. This applies to all Unique Rewards.

The only way to get both wide body kits is to hack your save.
It's not possible to earn both of them in a single profile
through normal means. Also, you can't carry over unlocked
rewards from one profile to another. There are certain
pre-made saves out there with both wide body kits plus all
unique unlockables in one profile if you look hard enough.

-

Q. How can I get all the unique vinyls that Samantha offers me?

A. (Please refer to the above question)

-

Q. Quick. The Mantis or the Vapor wide body kit?

A. Vapor. Looks better on most rides. Plus, if you want a ride
similar to what Todd's driving in Challenge 29 (Scouting
Report), you definitely need to pick the Vapor wide body kit
for your Lancer (or at least unlock it to customize a stock
Lancer for quick races).

-

Q. Can I unlock and apply the Eastsiderz vinyl from Eddie's car
onto my custom ride?

A. No, not by normal means anyway. The Eastsiderz vinyl is unique
for Eddie's Skyline only, just like the Rob Zombie vinyl can
only be found on Rob Zombie's bonus car. A third-party program
for changing vinyls does exist out there but EA doesn't provide
support for such applications and neither do I.

-----------------------
c. Performance Upgrades
-----------------------

Q. Is there any difference in performance when choosing brand
packages for upgrades?

A. No. Brand makes no difference. All the brand packages perform
equally well.

-

Q. Best unique performance upgrade combination?

A. Engine, E.C.U. and trans. If you're looking for a second opinion,
put turbo into the mix for better acceleration. For handling,
tires and brakes would be the right choice.

--------------------------
d. Rewards/Magazine Covers
--------------------------

Q. Does selection of difficulty level for each challenge
affects the rewards given on completion?

A. To my knowledge, no.

-

Q. I have collected Eddie's Nissan Skyline Style Reward.
Is there any more?

A. Nope. That's the last of the 114 Style Rewards you can
unlock in NFS:U.

-

Q. How do I know if I've unlocked all the style rewards?

A. Once you have Eddie's Skyline, that should be it.
Else check to see if your style gauge increases after
gaining some style points. If it you're still getting
level up, then there's style rewards yet to be
unlocked. All style rewards should be unlocked when
you've acquired about 3,000,000 style points.

You may have to level up your reputation multiplier
to 5x max to unlock all style rewards.

-

Q. Does different profiles unlock different magazine covers?

A. Yes, slightly. You will get the same cover although
the model(s) posing for the magazine is/are chosen at
random, then superimposed on the cover of the magazine
with your ride in the background. Method of unlocking
the covers stays the same, though.

------------
e. Trade Ins
------------

Q. I have unlocked new cars earned in Underground Mode, but when I Trade In
the stats stay the same. I don't understand the point of having a different
car but stuck with the same stats. Does the car model really matter?

A. Stats are not the same, they are just not shown there. Here's how to view
stats for the car you'd like to change to. Select a a car to "Trade In"
and press Enter. A performance screen will show up. This is the current
performance stats of your current car. Press Enter again and that'll be
the stats of the car you're purchasing. Stats change as upgrades are
acquired over the course of the game.

-

Q. Can I trade in my car repeatedly for rebates?

A. Yes. It's possible.

-----------
f. Profiles
-----------

Q. Can I have more than one car per profile to use in
Underground Mode?

A. No. You're limited to one custom car per profile.
You have to trade in to use another car. There is
no garage option.

-

Q. Is it possible to unlock all unique parts for
one driver profile?

A. No, sorry. It can't be done through normal means.
Not unless you plan to hack your save.

---------
g. Cheats
---------

Q. Why don't the PC cheats work?

A. Cheats found in the cheats section should work
if you follow the instructions carefully.

Remember to enter and exit the Statistics
screen once before you key in the cheat code.
There is no notification when the cheat is
typed in correctly. You have to do a quick
check on whether the tracks/bonus car has been
unlocked or not by going into the quick race
menu. If not, try again. You might have missed
out something or typed incorrectly.

-

Q. Why don't the PS2 cheats work?

A. I have not tested them since I don't own a PS2.

-

Q. Why doesn't the unlimited nitro code work?

A. To my knowledge, there is no unlimited nitro code.

------------
h. Technical
------------

Q. (PC) How do I copy my profile/custom car to play on another PC? Where
does Underground store saved game profile information?

Where are the save games located?

A. (Win XP users) Saved Game information can be found at this location:
(C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NFS Underground).
Remember to enable "Show Hidden Files" to be able to locate the
Application Data directory.

You'll be able to save and re-import this information into your game
(if you have a re-format, or any other data loss) as long as you put it
into the same directory. (source: official site)

(Win 9x and ME users) Look for your save files here:
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\NFS Underground.

-

Q. How do you turn off the slow-mo cam? (also known as the crash cam)

A. Select OPTIONS, then CAMERA, and move the Jump Cameras slider
all the way to the left. (or to the right, if you want more of it)

-

Q. Can I import my own music (MP3's) into Need for Speed Underground?

A. No, the game does not support imported music files. However, you can
mute the game music (set it to 0) and use a media player to play your
music in the background.

-

Q. Is there a replay option?

A. The replay option is not available in NFS:U, unlike previous NFS in the
series.

-

Q. Is there a rear view mirror option?

A. Yes. Although the rear mirror view is only available if you have
selected bumper cam mode. Press the 'Esc' key to bring up the
Pause Menu, then select 'Camera'. Choose 'Bumper Cam' for
your Favourite Drive Camera. Then return to the previous menu
and choose 'Display'. The rearview mirror option should appear now.
Turn it on. Note: This option will not appear unless you have
already selected 'Bumper Cam' for your Favourite Drive Camera.

-

Q. Is there language support?

A. Yes. Although you have to mess around with the registry.
(only attempt this if you know what you're doing!)
No instructions. I trust that with the sparse info provided
below, you should be able to change the language. Else, there's
a file on the web that helps you do the same although you may
have to look real hard for it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\EA GAMES\Need For Speed Underground
Name: Language
Options: English US, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, French, German, Italian
Bear in mind that when receiving messages in the Underground Mode, sound
bites will not be played, and all cutscenes will still be in English.
And no, the tracks are still in English no matter how much you want
to hear Lil Jon rap in Spanish.

-

Q. Will there be any downloadable content (Paint Jobs, Cars, etc.) for
Need for Speed Underground?

A. Due to the compatibility between the PS2 console and the PC, there will be
no downloadable content available for the game. The reason for this being
that both platforms must remain exactly the same in order to be compatible.
Any change to one must be made to the other. (source: official site)

-

Q. Is there online support for Cube/Box?

A. No. Online support is only available for PS2 and PC users only.

-

Q. (PC) How do I activate motion blur? It's blurred out in the Display
Settings.

A. If it's blurred out, most likely your display card does not support that
option. The only way you can get motion blur to work is to obtain a new
graphics card. Anyway, the blur effect is not a must-see option. I have
seen it in GTA and MGS on the PC, it really doesn't improve gameplay
(and will cause eye discomfort over time). Reason being blur effects do
not translate well on the PC, only on TV.

(The same goes for crowd option)

No driver updates can help you here. My guess is that these options
are not available for "pre-DirectX 9" graphics card owners.

-

Q. (PC) How do I activate headlights in the game, similar to what we see in
the tutorial?

A. You can only enable headlights if your graphics card support such option.
As the tutorial is a video cutscene it may mislead you to believe that the
headlights option is available for your system. This is not true. Please
refer to the question regarding motion blur for more details.
